The asm entry code in the kernel uses a trick to check if VMAP'd stacks
have overflowed by aligning them at THREAD_SHIFT * 2 granularity and
checking the SP's THREAD_SHIFT bit.

Protected KVM will soon make use of a similar trick to detect stack
overflows, so factor out the asm code in a re-usable macro.

I'm a little unhappy about factoring this out, since it's not really
self-contained and leaves sp and x0 partially-swapped when it branches
to the label. You can't really make that clear with comments on the
macro, and you need comments at each use-sire, so I'd ratehr we just
open-coded a copy of this.

Further to my comment above, immediately after this we have:

	/* Stash the original SP (minus PT_REGS_SIZE) in tpidr_el0. */
	msr     tpidr_el0, x0

	/* Recover the original x0 value and stash it in tpidrro_el0 */
	sub     x0, sp, x0
	msr     tpidrro_el0, x0

... which is really surprising with the `test_sp_overflow` macro because
it's not clear that modifies x0 and sp in this way.

Thanks,
Mark.

Hi Mark,

I agree the macro hides the fact that sp and x0 are left in an
'corrupt' state if the branch happens. Not a problem in this case but
it could be misleading to new users. I'll remove this per your
suggestion in the next version.

Thanks,
