[PATCH v1 0/1] Fix a stack misalign bug on _start

[Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>]

Hi Willy,

Just a single quick fix.

The ABI mandates that the %esp register must be a multiple of 16 when
executing a call instruction.

Commit 2ab446336b17 simplified the _start function, but it didn't take
care of the %esp alignment, causing SIGSEGV on SSE and AVX programs that
use aligned move instruction (e.g., movdqa, movaps, and vmovdqa).

  $eax   : 0x56559000  →  0x00003f90
  $ebx   : 0x56559000  →  0x00003f90
  $ecx   : 0x1
  $edx   : 0xf7fcaaa0  →   endbr32 
  $esp   : 0xffffcdbc  →  0x00000001
  $ebp   : 0x0
  $esi   : 0xffffce7c  →  0xffffd096
  $edi   : 0x56556060  →  <_start+0> xor %ebp, %ebp
  $eip   : 0x56556489  →  <sse_pq_add+25> movaps %xmm0, 0x30(%esp)

    <sse_pq_add+11>  pop    %eax
    <sse_pq_add+12>  add    $0x2b85, %eax
    <sse_pq_add+18>  movups -0x1fd0(%eax), %xmm0
  → <sse_pq_add+25>  movaps %xmm0, 0x30(%esp)     <== trapping instruction
    <sse_pq_add+30>  movups -0x1fe0(%eax), %xmm1
    <sse_pq_add+37>  movaps %xmm1, 0x20(%esp)
    <sse_pq_add+42>  movups -0x1ff0(%eax), %xmm2
    <sse_pq_add+49>  movaps %xmm2, 0x10(%esp)
    <sse_pq_add+54>  movups -0x2000(%eax), %xmm3

  [#0] Id 1, Name: "test", stopped 0x56556489 in sse_pq_add (), reason: SIGSEGV

  (gdb)  bt
  #0  0x56556489 in sse_pq_add ()
  #1  0x5655608e in main ()

Ensure the %esp is a multiple of 16 when executing the call instruction.
