mm: take placement mappings gap into account
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.
For MAP_GROWSDOWN/VM_GROWSDOWN and MAP_GROWSUP/VM_GROWSUP this has not
been a problem in practice because applications place these kinds of
mappings very early, when there is not many mappings to find a space
between. But for shadow stacks, they may be placed throughout the
lifetime of the application.
Use the start_gap field to find a space that includes the guard gap for
the new mapping. Take care to not interfere with the alignment.
