Sure, it is expensive to set up the canary even when it is obvious
it isn't needed. We by default use 4 byte+ arrays as the trigger to
add stack canaries (gcc default is 8 byte+), with -fstack-protector-all
you add it even for functions that don't have any stack variables at
all, or that have only scalar vars etc.
