Hmm, clearly Dave was correct not to rush this through... yuck. I'll take a
look, but I guess there is no rush if this won't go into -next until shortly
after -rc1.

Sorry, I should have checked the entry sequencing more thoroughly when I
reviewed this,.

From a quick look, I suspect the right thing to do is to pull the call
to add_random_kstack_offset() a bit later in a few cases; after the
entry logic has run, and after instrumentation_begin() (if the arch code
uses that), such that it doesn't matter if this gets instrumented.

Considering the callers of add_random_kstack_offset(), if we did that:

* arm64 is fine as-is.

* loongarch is fine as-is.

* powerpc's system_call_exception() would need this moved after the
  user_exit_irqoff(). Given that function is notrace rather than
  noinstr, it looks like there are bigger extant issues here.

* riscv is fine as-is.

* s390's __do_syscall() would need this moved after
  enter_from_user_mode().

* On x86:
  - do_int80_emulation() is fine as-is.
  - int80_emulation() is fine as-is.
  - do_int80_syscall_32() would need this moved after
    instrumentation_begin().
  - __do_fast_syscall_32() would need this moved after
    instrumentation_begin().
  - do_syscall_64() would need this moved after instrumentation_begin().

Mark.
