Sure, but the thing is something would've already probed into the 4K guard page before you had a chance to probe past it. If your stack guard page is the next thing up on the stack and you call that vDSO function, then sure, it'll probe past the guard page. But if all your code is built with -fstack-check then that guarantees you should have already crashed by having some prior function in the call stack probe into that guard page.
