tools/nolibc: x86-64: Fix startup code bug
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) ``` Cc: Bedirhan KURT <windowz414@gnuweeb.org> Cc: Louvian Lyndal <louvianlyndal@gmail.com> Reported-by: Peter Cordes <peter@cordes.ca> Signed-off-by: Ammar Faizi <ammar.faizi@students.amikom.ac.id> [wt: I did this on purpose due to a misunderstanding of the spec, other archs will thus have to be rechecked, particularly i386] Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
