Hi,

we discovered that qemu-ovmf-x86_64 doesn't start when compiled using gcc-12. Originally reported as:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1199597

I run qemu as:
qemu-kvm -drive file=/dev/null,format=raw -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on,file=OVMF.fd -m 3000

The platform repeatedly resets after TemporaryRamMigration as can be seen in the debuglog:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=858969

The reason is TemporaryRamMigration() overwrites rbp unconditionally -- it adds an offset to rbp even if rbp is NOT used as a frame pointer (-fomit-frame-pointer was always used for compilation here). So commenting out:
//JumpBuffer.Rbp = JumpBuffer.Rbp + DebugAgentContext.StackMigrateOffset;

makes it all work again. Also marking TemporaryRamMigration() as:
__attribute__((optimize("-fno-omit-frame-pointer")))
works around the problem too. (But that doesn't guarantee anything.)

The code is:
  if (SetJump (&JumpBuffer) == 0) {
 #if defined (MDE_CPU_IA32)
    JumpBuffer.Esp = JumpBuffer.Esp + DebugAgentContext.StackMigrateOffset;
    JumpBuffer.Ebp = JumpBuffer.Ebp + DebugAgentContext.StackMigrateOffset;
 #endif
 #if defined (MDE_CPU_X64)
    JumpBuffer.Rsp = JumpBuffer.Rsp + DebugAgentContext.StackMigrateOffset;
    JumpBuffer.Rbp = JumpBuffer.Rbp + DebugAgentContext.StackMigrateOffset;
 #endif
    LongJump (&JumpBuffer, (UINTN)-1);
  }

It was only coincidence this ever worked -- gcc-11 omits the frame pointer too, but apparently the caller (PeiCheckAndSwitchStack) does not use rbp.

PeiCheckAndSwitchStack() (gcc-12):

    79a6:       4c 29 fd                sub    %r15,%rbp <------ used rbp
    79a9:       4d 29 fe                sub    %r15,%r14
    79ac:       48 83 ec 20             sub    $0x20,%rsp
    79b0:       4d 89 e0                mov    %r12,%r8
    79b3:       48 8d 4b 08             lea    0x8(%rbx),%rcx
    79b7:       48 8b 44 24 50          mov    0x50(%rsp),%rax
    79bc:       48 8b 54 24 20          mov    0x20(%rsp),%rdx
    79c1:       4d 29 e8                sub    %r13,%r8
    79c4:       4c 8b 4c 24 30          mov    0x30(%rsp),%r9
    79c9:       ff 10                   call   *(%rax)  <----------- call to 
TemporaryRamMigration
    79cb:       48 83 c4 20             add    $0x20,%rsp
    79cf:       be 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%esi
    79d4:       4c 89 f7                mov    %r14,%rdi
    79d7:       e8 f4 a8 ff ff          call   22d0 <MigrateMemoryPages>
    79dc:       48 83 ec 20             sub    $0x20,%rsp
    79e0:       4d 89 f0                mov    %r14,%r8
    79e3:       31 d2                   xor    %edx,%edx
    79e5:       48 89 e9                mov    %rbp,%rcx   <------ rbp used

gcc-11 seems to copy rbp to r8 first and operates on r8 there instead.

Now, what is the right way to fix this? Do the SetJump/LongJump in assembly and wrap it into push rbp/pop rbp?

thanks,
