However when PAC is enabled on supported AArch64 CPUs, the saved LR on the stack contains a "pointer authentication code" signed with the stack pointer at the time the frame was created.  When a stack frame is relocated we need to re-sign the LR with the new stack pointer to ensure it authenticates successfully when the method returns.
