Given that we use this stack pointer as a location to store arbitrary data types from the cloned process, we need to guarantee that its alignment matches any of those possible data types. runsisi reports that pasta gets a SIGBUS in pasta_open_ns() on aarch64, where the alignment requirement for stack pointers is a 16 bytes (same as the size of a long double), and similar requirements actually apply to most architectures we run on.
