It is probably worth adding constant names for these flags, example,
there's Section 2.4 in the currently available description[1], and
it took some time before I decided to look into other patches
and find the patch with the documentation (or finally notice section 2.7).

Maybe refactor this check into a separate function/macro?

Again, usage of a named constant might document it better.

This function is defined in "[RFC PATCH v4 19/27] x86/cet/shstk:
Introduce WRUSS instruction"

That might be refactored in a separate function.

Also, it looks like that possible padding for 8-byte alignment
(copy_ext_{to,from}_user) is not accounted here.

Why is this not in setup_sigcontext, for example?
