I believe it handles it fine otherwise our selftest bpf_testmod_return_ptr:
   case 4: return (void *)(1ull << 60);    /* non-canonical and invalid */
would have been crashing for the last 3 years,
since we've been running it.

For this patch let's do
return max(TASK_SIZE_MAX + PAGE_SIZE, VSYSCALL_ADDR)
to cover both with one check?

let's tackle loongarch with whatever quirks it has separately.
