Pull entry code update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Provide support for randomized stack offsets per syscall to make
  stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack
  layout.

  The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature,
  but uses a significantly different implementation.

  The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as
  this was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied
  before the actual syscall is invoked.

  The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end
  of the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry.

  The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the
  dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that
  stack-clash-protection has to be disabled for the affected compilation
  units and there is also a negative interaction with stack-protector.

  Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does
  not require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry
  code, does not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is
  handled automatically by the compiler.

  The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead
  when disabled.

  Currently this is supported for X86 and ARM64"
