VM_SHADOW_STACK (alias to VM_HIGH_ARCH_5) is used to encode shadow stack

I see that arm GCS uses VM_HIGH_ARCH_6.

VMA on three architectures (x86 shadow stack, arm GCS and RISC-V shadow

And RISC-V doesn't define it at all, not even in this patchset, or did I
miss it somewhere?


hmm...
Something wrong in my workflow and rebasing.
Thanks for catching this.

stack). In case architecture doesn't implement shadow stack, it's VM_NONE
Introducing a helper `is_shadow_stack_vma` to determine shadow stack vma
or not.

This looks like an unfinished sentence. As if it was to continue with "...
will allow us to ..." what?

I'm not against a helper but this changelog is rather confusing and also
code in arch/x86 and arch/arm64 isn't converted to the helper but testing
VM_SHADOW_STACK still.
