When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard
gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and
VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap()
needs to consider two things:
1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard
gaps.
2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings
are not in *its* guard gaps.
The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care
around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap()
with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed,
mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then the
mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the
adjacent VMA.
In order to take the start gap into account, the maple tree search needs
to know the size of start gap the new mapping will need. The call chain
from do_mmap() to the actual maple tree search looks like this:
do_mmap(size, vm_flags, map_flags, ..)
mm/mmap.c:get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
arch_get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
vm_unmapped_area(struct vm_unmapped_area_info)
One option would be to add another MAP_ flag to mean a one page start gap
(as is for shadow stack), but this consumes a flag unnecessarily. Another
option could be to simply increase the size passed in do_mmap() by the
start gap size, and adjust after the fact, but this will interfere with
the alignment requirements passed in struct vm_unmapped_area_info, and
unknown to mmap.c. Instead, introduce variants of
arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() that take vm_flags. In future changes,
these variants can be used in mmap.c:get_unmapped_area() to allow the
vm_flags to be passed through to vm_unmapped_area(), while preserving the
normal arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() for the existing callers.
