As discussed extensively in the changelog for the addition of this
syscall on x86 ("x86/shstk: Introduce map_shadow_stack syscall") the
existing mmap() and madvise() syscalls do not map entirely well onto the
security requirements for guarded control stacks since they lead to
windows where memory is allocated but not yet protected or stacks which
are not properly and safely initialised. Instead a new syscall
map_shadow_stack() has been defined which allocates and initialises a
shadow stack page.

Implement this for arm64.  Two flags are provided, allowing applications
to request that the stack be initialised with a valid cap token at the
top of the stack and optionally also an end of stack marker above that.
We support requesting an end of stack marker alone but since this is a
NULL pointer it is indistinguishable from not initialising anything by
itself.

Nitpicks: use PAGE_ALIGNED and IS_ALIGNED(size, 8).

s/viaible/visible/

On the comment itself, the barrier does not ensure visibility in
absolute term, it's all about ordering relative to other accesses. It
might be good to clarify what we actually need in terms of ordering. One
aspect came up in an earlier patch was around thread creation. For the
current CPU, subsequent GCS accesses in program order will see this
token. Classic LDR/STR won't without the barrier. I think this matters
when we check the token in the clone3() implementation. Maybe write
something along the lines of "ensure the new cap is ordered before
standard memory accesses to the same location".

Anyway, the patch looks fine.
