Commit d77698df39a5 ("x86/build: Specify stack alignment for clang") intended to use the same stack alignment for clang as with gcc. The two compilers use different options to configure the stack alignment (gcc: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=n, clang: -mstack-alignment=n). The above commit assumes that the clang option uses the same parameter type as gcc, i.e. that the alignment is specified as 2^n. However clang interprets the value of this option literally to use an alignment of n, in consequence the stack remains misaligned. Change the values used with -mstack-alignment to be the actual alignment instead of a power of two. Signed-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org> --- Apparently I had really bad luck when testing d77698df39a5. It fixed the crash I was investigating and the stack in the debugged function looked good with the patch, so I didn't had any doubt that -mstack-alignment=3 (for x86-64) was the correct solution :( If anyone has suggestions for macro magic to encapsulate the different option name and paramater type I'm happy to adapt the patch. I experimented a bit but didn't find a good solution. arch/x86/Makefile | 15 ++++----------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)
