Hi,

Thanks for doing this implementation! One reason usercopy hardening
didn't persue doing a "full" stacktrace was because it seemed relatively
expensive. Did you do any usercopy-heavily workload testing to see if
there was a noticeable performance impact?

It would be nice to block the exposure of canaries and PAC bits, though,
so I'm not opposed, but I'd like to get a better sense of how "heavy"
this might be.

Thanks!
