Hi Thomas,

I've applied your patches so that I can verify that SME works with PIE.
Unfortunately, I'm running into build warnings and errors when I enable
PIE.

With CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y I receive lots of messages like this:

  drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_exch.o: warning: objtool: fc_destroy_exch_mgr()+0x0: call without frame pointer save/setup

Disabling CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION suppresses those.

But near the end of the build, I receive errors like this:

  arch/x86/kernel/setup.o: In function `dump_kernel_offset':
  .../arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:801:(.text+0x32): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32S against symbol `_text' defined in .text section in .tmp_vmlinux1
  .
  . about 10 more of the above type messages
  .
  make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
  Error building kernel, exiting

Are there any config options that should or should not be enabled when
building with PIE enabled?  Is there a compiler requirement for PIE (I'm
using gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5))?

Thanks,
Tom
