If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From ebbe0d8a449d183fa43b42d84fcb248e25303985 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx> Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2021 19:28:15 +0200 Subject: tools/nolibc: i386: fix initial stack alignment From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx> commit ebbe0d8a449d183fa43b42d84fcb248e25303985 upstream. After re-checking in the spec and comparing stack offsets with glibc, The last pushed argument must be 16-byte aligned (i.e. aligned before the call) so that in the callee esp+4 is multiple of 16, so the principle is the 32-bit equivalent to what Ammar fixed for x86_64. It's possible that 32-bit code using SSE2 or MMX could have been affected. In addition the frame pointer ought to be zero at the deepest level.
