typo: addr

Isn't this "64", not "common"?

I think this should get an intro comment, like:

/* Flags for map_shadow_stack(2) */

Also, as with the other UAPI fields, please use "(1ULL << 0)" here.

Can this just be collapsed into the patch that introduces create_rstor_token()?

Oops, I missed in the other patch that "addr" was being passed here.
(uninitialized?)

I don't see do_mmap() doing anything here to avoid remapping a prior vma
as shstk. Is the intention to allow userspace to convert existing VMAs?
This has caused pain in the past, perhaps force MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE ?

As mentioned earlier, I was expecting this patch to replace a (missing)
call to alloc_shstk. i.e. expecting:

- addr = alloc_shstk(stack_size);

Please add kern-doc for this, with some notes. E.g. at least one thing isn't immediately
obvious, maybe more: "addr" must be a multiple of 8.

This needs to explicitly reject unknown flags[1], or expanding them in the
future becomes very painful:

if (flags & ~(SHADOW_STACK_SET_TOKEN))
return -EINVAL;

The intention here is to allow userspace to ask for _less_ than a page
size multiple, and to put the restore token there?

Is it worth adding a check for size >= 8 here? Or, I guess it would just
immediately crash on the next call?
