Summary

It appears that the stackframe layout can be slightly different depending on
compiler and target architecture. For example, when using CHERI LLVM for RISC-V
we can actually overflow the buffer by up to 8 bytes without SSP detecting it.
Fix this by increasing the overflow to 15 bytes.

Event Timeline

I think this is reasonable. I don't think we care whether SSP detects a stack overflow that overwrites only padding.

I wonder if this consistently works on NetBSD?

Unlikely.
