You should rewrite this as:
current->stack_canary = get_random_canary();
__stack_chk_guard = current->stack_canary;
which is what the other archs all now do. (They didn't used to, and this
looks like it's simply based on older code.)

Glad to see this CPU has a cycle counter. Out of curiosity, what is
its resolution?
Also, related, does this CPU happen to have a "RDRAND"-like instruction?
(I don't know anything about kvx or even what it is.)
