Since iOS6 a generated stack cookie is placed directly after the saved registers at the bottom of the stack frame. A pointer to the cookie is saved at the top of the stack frame or in a register if it is convenient. The space above the stack pointer is used for called functions if necessary.
In the function epilog the saved stack cookie is verified. The generated value is found by following the saved pointer. A verification failure results in a kernel panic.
