Yeah, I saw that. The ARM code adds the max padding, too:
signal_minsigstksz = sigframe_size(&user) +
round_up(sizeof(struct frame_record), 16) +
16; /* max alignment padding */

Because the last state size of XSAVE may not be 64B aligned, the (reported)
sum of xstate size here does not guarantee 64B alignment.

We care about the start of XSAVE buffer for the XSAVE instructions, to be
64B-aligned.
