My brain will work to undo the collision of Shadow Stack Pointer with
Stack Smashing Protection. ;)

Er, arg 3 is "stack_size". From later:

                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^

clone_flags and args->flags are identical ... this must be accidentally
working. I was expecting 0 there.

Again, perhaps the clamp should happen in alloc_shstk()?

Uhm, I think a line went missing here. :P

"x86/cet/shstk: Introduce map_shadow_stack syscall" adds the missing:

+	addr = alloc_shstk(0, stack_size, 0, false);

Please add back the original. :)
