Unfortunate that we have three very similar copies of linux_copyout_strings

sys/amd64/linux/linux_sysvec.c
351

Is it right to call this "canary"? From the kernel's perspective we're just providing some random bytes.

It's a our exec_copyout_strings() counterpart

I don't understand that piece of code very well, but you increased LINUX_AT_COUNT by 2, and here you are using 1 _or_ 2 additional elements. Is that ok?
