[Bug target/22229] New: Segfault due to unaligned movaps access


This testcase segfaults due to unaligned movaps access when compiled with 'gcc -
O2 -msse':

--cut here--
#include <xmmintrin.h>

__m128 bar (__m128 x1, __m128 y1, __m128 x2, __m128 y2)
{
  return x1;
}

__m128 foo (__m128 x)
{
  return bar (x, x, x, x);
}

int main()
{
  __m128 a = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0};

  union {
    __m128 _xmm;
    float x[4];
  } temp;

  temp._xmm = foo (a);

  printf("%f\n", temp.x[2]);
  return 0;
}
--cut here--

The problem is, that 4th parameter to bar is now passed on stack (this is 
specified by x86 ABI). Unfortunatelly, stack is not aligned correctly and 
testcase segfaults in foo():

foo:
	subss	%xmm1, %xmm0
	pushl	%ebp
	movl	%esp, %ebp
	subl	$16, %esp
	movaps	%xmm0, (%esp)         <<<< here
	movaps	%xmm0, %xmm2
	movaps	%xmm0, %xmm1
	call	bar
	leave
	ret

Value of %esp is 0xbffff958 at the point of segfault.
