Yea, I was thinking to maybe just change it to
CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK in show_smap_vma_flags(). In that function
there is already CONFIG_ARM64_BTI and CONFIG_ARM64_MTE.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. :-)

I'm not sure if there is any aversion to having arch CONFIGs in core
code, but it's kind of nice to have all of the potentially conflicting
strings in once place.

Yeah, ok.

I guess you can do the CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK thing for the sake
of simplicity. We have *waaay* too many Kconfig symbols and we should
introduce only the least amount of new ones.

Thx.
