stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit 06f7528d641bf685dd9bc55e85afbf7c3843b8de bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 937ed91c712273131de6d2a02caafd3ee84e0c72 upstream.
Before this patch, the `_start` function looks like this: ``` 0000000000001170 <_start>: 1170: pop %rdi 1171: mov %rsp,%rsi 1174: lea 0x8(%rsi,%rdi,8),%rdx 1179: and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp 117d: sub $0x8,%rsp 1181: call 1000 <main> 1186: movzbq %al,%rdi 118a: mov $0x3c,%rax 1191: syscall 1193: hlt 1194: data16 cs nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 119f: nop ``` Note the "and" to %rsp with $-16, it makes the %rsp be 16-byte aligned, but then there is a "sub" with $0x8 which makes the %rsp no longer 16-byte aligned, then it calls main. That's the bug!
What actually the x86-64 System V ABI mandates is that right before the "call", the %rsp must be 16-byte aligned, not after the "call". So the "sub" with $0x8 here breaks the alignment. Remove it.
An example where this rule matters is when the callee needs to align its stack at 16-byte for aligned move instruction, like `movdqa` and `movaps`. If the callee can't align its stack properly, it will result in segmentation fault.
x86-64 System V ABI also mandates the deepest stack frame should be zero. Just to be safe, let's zero the %rbp on startup as the content of %rbp may be unspecified when the program starts. Now it looks like this: ``` 0000000000001170 <_start>: 1170: pop %rdi 1171: mov %rsp,%rsi 1174: lea 0x8(%rsi,%rdi,8),%rdx 1179: xor %ebp,%ebp # zero the %rbp 117b: and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp # align the %rsp 117f: call 1000 <main> 1184: movzbq %al,%rdi 1188: mov $0x3c,%rax 118f: syscall 1191: hlt 1192: data16 cs nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 119d: nopl (%rax) ```
