On configs with CONFIG_ARM64_GCS=y, VM_SHADOW_STACK is bit 38. On configs with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_MINOR=y (selected by CONFIG_ARM64 when CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y), VM_UFFD_MINOR is _also_ bit 38.
This bit being shared by two different VMA flags could lead to all sorts of unintended behaviors. Presumably, a process could maybe call into userfaultfd in a way that disables the shadow stack vma flag. I can't think of any attack where this would help (presumably, if an attacker tries to disable shadow stacks, they are trying to hijack control flow so can't arbitrarily call into userfaultfd yet anyway) but this still feels somewhat scary.
