Does riscv have any kind of instruction counters or other trivial timers
that could be mixed in here? (e.g. x86's TSC)

What's needed for riscv to support a per-task canary? (e.g. x86's TLS or
arm64's register-specific methods)

But yes, as a starting point, better to have a single per-boot global
canary than none at all. :)
