x86/decompressor: Don't rely on upper 32 bits of GPRs being preserved
The 4-to-5 level mode switch trampoline disables long mode and paging in
order to be able to flick the LA57 bit. According to section 3.4.1.1 of
the x86 architecture manual [0], 64-bit GPRs might not retain the upper
32 bits of their contents across such a mode switch.
Given that RBP, RBX and RSI are live at this point, preserve them on the
stack, along with the return address that might be above 4G as well.
[0] Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1: Basic Architecture
"Because the upper 32 bits of 64-bit general-purpose registers are
undefined in 32-bit modes, the upper 32 bits of any general-purpose
register are not preserved when switching from 64-bit mode to a 32-bit
mode (to protected mode or compatibility mode). Software must not
depend on these bits to maintain a value after a 64-bit to 32-bit
mode switch."
