Mark Brown df7e1286b1 mm: care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped area 
As covered in the commit log for c44357c2e7 ("x86/mm: care about shadow
stack guard gap during placement") our current mmap() implementation does
not take care to ensure that a new mapping isn't placed with existing
mappings inside it's own guard gaps.  This is particularly important for
shadow stacks since if two shadow stacks end up getting placed adjacent to
each other then they can overflow into each other which weakens the
protection offered by the feature.

On x86 there is a custom arch_get_unmapped_area() which was updated by the
above commit to cover this case by specifying a start_gap for allocations
with VM_SHADOW_STACK.  Both arm64 and RISC-V have equivalent features and
use the generic implementation of arch_get_unmapped_area() so let's make
the equivalent change there so they also don't get shadow stack pages
placed without guard pages.  x86 uses a single page guard, this is also
sufficient for arm64 where we either do single word pops and pushes or
unconstrained writes.

Architectures which do not have this feature will define VM_SHADOW_STACK
to VM_NONE and hence be unaffected.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
