Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86: shadow stacks: proper error handling for mmap lock
김영민 reports that shstk_pop_sigframe() doesn't check for errors from
mmap_read_lock_killable(), which is a silly oversight, and also shows
that we haven't marked those functions with "__must_check", which would
have immediately caught it.
So let's fix both issues.
