      ShadowStackCollector, which additionally has reduced overhead with
      no sacrifice in portability.
      
      Considering a function @fun with 8 loop-local roots,
      ShadowStackCollector introduces the following overhead
      (x86):
      
      ; shadowstack prologue
              movl    L_llvm_gc_root_chain$non_lazy_ptr, %eax
              movl    (%eax), %ecx
              movl    $___gc_fun, 20(%esp)
              movl    $0, 24(%esp)
              movl    $0, 28(%esp)
              movl    $0, 32(%esp)
              movl    $0, 36(%esp)
              movl    $0, 40(%esp)
              movl    $0, 44(%esp)
              movl    $0, 48(%esp)
              movl    $0, 52(%esp)
              movl    %ecx, 16(%esp)
              leal    16(%esp), %ecx
              movl    %ecx, (%eax)
      
      ; shadowstack loop overhead
              (none)
      
      ; shadowstack epilogue
              movl    48(%esp), %edx
              movl    %edx, (%ecx)
      
      ; shadowstack metadata
              .align  3
      ___gc_fun:                              # __gc_fun
              .long   8
