Hold your horses there. Remember:
+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK
+# define VM_SHADOW_STACK VM_HIGH_ARCH_5
+#else
+# define VM_SHADOW_STACK VM_NONE
+#endif
Plus:
#define VM_NONE 0x00000000
That means the arch-generic version, when CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK is off
compiles down to:
bool is_shadow_stack_mapping(vm_flags_t vm_flags)
{
return vm_flags & 0x00000000;
}
I _suspect_ the compiler *might* compile that down to the same thing as:
return false;
So, why not just have one version, no additional #ifdefs, and be done
with it? Heck, why have the helper in the first place? Just check
VM_SHADOW_STACK directly.
