Is there any way we can do this on invoke_syscall() specifically with an
attribute? That'd help to keep all the concerns local in the file, and
means that we wouldn't potentially lose protection for other functions
that get added in future.

To explain the alignment requirement a bit better, how about:

/*
* The AAPCS mandates a 16-byte (i.e. 4-bit) aligned SP at
* function boundaries. We want at least 5 bits of entropy so we
* must randomize at least SP[8:4].
*/

> + choose_random_kstack_offset(get_random_int() & 0x1FF);

Do we have a rationale for randomizing bits SP[3:0]? If not, we might
get better code gen with a 0x1F0 mask, since the compiler won't need to
round down the SP.

If we have a rationale that's fine, but we should spell it out more
explicitly in the comment. Even if that's just "randomizing SP[3:0]
isn't harmful, so we randomize those too".

Thanks,
Mark.
