When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard
gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and
VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap()
needs to consider two things:
1. That the new mapping isn’t placed in an any existing mappings guard
gaps.
2. That the new mapping isn’t placed such that any existing mappings
are not in *its* guard gaps.
The long standing behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care
around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a
mmap() with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being
placed, mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then
the mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to
the adjacent VMA.
Use mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags() in the do_mmap() so future changes
can cause shadow stack mappings to be placed with a guard gap. Also use
the THP variant that takes vm_flags, such that THP shadow stack can get the
same treatment. Adjust the vm_flags calculation to happen earlier so that
the vm_flags can be passed into __get_unmapped_area().
