Were so close to the real cmpxchg at this point. I took a shot at it with the
diff at the end. I'm not sure if it might need some of the instrumentation
calls.

Return false for an int will be 0 (i.e. success). I think it might be covering
up a bug. The gup happens to args->shadow_stack + args->shadow_stack_size - 1
(the size inclusive). But the copy happens at the size exclusive.

So shadow_stack_size = PAGE_SIZE, will try to read the token at the start of the
shadow stack, but the failure will be reported as success. I think...

On another note, I think we need to verify that ssp is 8 byte aligned, or it
could be made to overflow the adjacent direct map page a few bytes. At least I
didn't see how it was prevented.

Can we check VM_WRITE here too? At least on x86, shadow stacks can be
mprotect()ed as read-only. The reason for this before I think fell out of the
implementation details, but all the same it would be nice be consistent. Then it
should behave identically to a real shadow stack access.

At the risk of asking a stupid question or one that I should have asked a long
time ago...

Why do we need both shadow_stack and shadow_stack_size? We are basically asking
it to consume a token at a pointer and have userspace manage the shadow stack
itself. So why does the kernel care what size it is? Couldn't we just have
'shadow_stack' have that mean consume a token here.

Fixing some of mentioned bugs, this on top passed the selftests for me. It
doesn't have the 8 byte alignment check I mentioned because I'm less sure I
might be missing it somewhere.
