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)
```

[wt: I did this on purpose due to a misunderstanding of the spec, other
     archs will thus have to be rechecked, particularly i386]
