Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Some gcc versions in Jammy and Focal are still
  vulnerable to the arm64-specific CVE-2023-4039
  (-fstack-protector guard failures with dynamic
  stack allocations).

  This impacts detecting, e.g., buffer overflows,
  resulting in less secure Ubuntu arm64 packages
  and user-built binaries.

  [Test Plan]

  Use the test-case in the vulnerability post [1],
  as in comments #20 and #21.

  Without patches, the test fails with Bus Error
  and a register value modified by the program.

  With the patches, the test fails with Aborted
  (buffer overflow detected) and register value
  unmodified.

  [1] https://rtx.meta.security/mitigation/2023/09/12/CVE-2023-4039.html

  [Regression Potential]

  The patchset modifies arm64-specific code gen,
  therefore any arm64 program might be affected,
  while other architectures should not.

  That is, signs of regressions from this would
  manifest as errors seen only in arm64 programs
  but not in other architectures.

  Potential fallout is expected to occur early
  and/or with dynamic allocations in the stack,
  and could manifest in different, subtle ways.

  That is concerning, however, fortunately this
  patchset has been introduced for a while now
  in the _same gcc versions_ in _newer_ series.

  That gives confidence to SRU the _same_ change
  to the _same_ gcc versions (to _older_ series).

  [Other Info]

  - gcc-14: fixed in Noble/Oracular (comment #22)
  - gcc-13: fixed in Noble/Oracular (comment #23)
  - gcc-12: fixed in Noble/Oracular, NOT in Jammy (comment #13)
  - gcc-11: fixed in Noble/Oracular, NOT in Jammy (comment #14)
  - gcc-10: fixed in Noble/Oracular, NOT in Jammy/Focal (comment #15)
  - gcc-9: fixed in Noble/Oracular, NOT in Jammy/Focal (comment #16)

  The fix for gcc-9/Focal FTBFS due to an Ada-related check.
  For the moment, it's not going to be pursued/analyzed more
  as agreed with the original reporter (sufficient for them).
  If others need it, please reopen and analyze/fix the error.
