[PATCH] x86/mm: Fix SME encryption stack ptr handling

From: Borislav Petkov

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

sme_encrypt_execute() stashes the stack pointer on entry into %rbp
because it allocates a one-page stack in the non-encrypted area for the
encryption routine to use. When the latter is done, it restores it from
%rbp again, before returning.

However, it uses the FRAME_* macros partially but restores %rsp from
%rbp explicitly with a MOV. And this is fine as long as the macros
*actually* do something.

Unless, you do a !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER build where those macros
are empty. Then, we still restore %rsp from %rbp but %rbp contains
*something* and this leads to a stack corruption. The manifestation
being a triple-fault during early boot when testing SME. Good luck to me
debugging this with the clumsy endless-loop-in-asm method and narrowing
it down gradually. :-(

So, long story short, open-code the frame macros so that there's no
monkey business and we avoid subtly breaking SME depending on the
.config.
