[Bug libc/9893] New: LD_AUDIT - misaligned _dl_call_pltexit parameter causing crash in audit library

["olsajiri at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

The outregs parameter (struct La_x86_64_retval pointer) of _dl_call_pltexit
function is not aligned to 16. This is causing crash in the audit library.

When the audit library touches the lrv_xmm0 (or lrv_xmm1) member of the 
La_x86_64_retval, gcc will emit 'movaps' instructions which expect a
parameter aligned to 16, otherwise it segfaults.

In email discussion H.J. Lu mentioned: "According to x86-64 psABI,
La_x86_64_retval  should be aligned at 16byte"
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-02/msg00346.html)

The issue can be reproduced by using attached audit.c as the audit library.

Here is the gdb session record showing the issue:

> ...
> (gdb) b _dl_call_pltexit
> Function "_dl_call_pltexit" not defined.
> Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
> Breakpoint 1 (_dl_call_pltexit) pending.
> (gdb) r
> Starting program: /opt/crash
