Minimal C reproducer:

struct x { _Alignas(64) char buf[128]; };

void f(struct x *p);
void g()
{
	struct x x = { .buf = "1145141919810" };
	f(&x);
}

Then objtool is unhappy to the object file produced with "clang -c -O2"
from this translation unit:

/home/xry111/t2.o: warning: objtool: g+0x50: return with modified stack frame

It seems CFI_BP has a very specific semantic in objtool and Clang does
not operates $fp in the expected way.  I'm not sure about my conclusion
though.  Maybe Peter can explain it better.
