The goal of the above snippet is to set RSP to ensure that each thread has its own stack.

Since EENTER computes RIP as EnclaveBase + TCS.OENTRY, by using offset from RIP this
would result in all TCS with OENTRY of encl_entry to use the same stack, no?

Could you please consider the following as an alternative:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/65c137c875bd4da675eaba35316ff43d7cfd52f8.1644274683.git.reinette.chatre@intel.com/

The idea in that patch is that a new TCS would always need to be accompanied by a
dedicated stack so, at least for testing purposes, the TCS and stack can be dynamically
allocated together with the TCS page following its stack. This seems much simpler
to me and also makes the following patch unnecessary.
