From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@xxxxxxxxx>
New hardware extensions implement support for shadow stack memory, such
as x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). Add a new VM flag to
identify these areas, for example, to be used to properly indicate shadow
stack PTEs to the hardware.
Shadow stack VMA creation will be tightly controlled and limited to
anonymous memory to make the implementation simpler and since that is all
that is required. The solution will rely on pte_mkwrite() to create the
shadow stack PTEs, so it will not be required for vm_get_page_prot() to
learn how to create shadow stack memory. For this reason document that
VM_SHADOW_STACK should not be mixed with VM_SHARED.

v7:
- Use lightly edited commit log verbiage from (David Hildenbrand)
- Add explanation for VM_SHARED limitation (David Hildenbrand)
v6:
- Add comment about VM_SHADOW_STACK not being allowed with VM_SHARED
(David Hildenbrand)
v3:
- Drop arch specific change in arch_vma_name(). The memory can show as
anonymous (Kirill)
- Change CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SHADOW_STACK to CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK
in show_smap_vma_flags() (Boris)
