Re: [PATCH 2/2] tools/nolibc: x86-64: Fix startup code bug

[Ammar Faizi <ammar.faizi@students.amikom.ac.id>]

Hi,

This is a code to test.

Compile with:
  gcc -O3 -ggdb3 -nostdlib -o test test.c

Technical explanation:
The System V ABI mandates the %rsp must be 16-byte aligned before
performing a function call, but the current nolibc.h violates it.

This %rsp alignment violation makes the callee can't align its stack
properly. Note that the callee may have a situation where it requires
vector aligned move. For example, `movaps` with memory operand w.r.t.
xmm registers, it requires the src/dst address be 16-byte aligned.

Since the callee can't align its stack properly, it will segfault when
executing `movaps`. The following C code is the reproducer and test
to ensure the bug really exists and this patch fixes it.
