<!-- Thanks to xry111 for explaining the technical background: -->
|

|
||||
<para>Today the x86-32 SysV psABI (used by all Linux programs)
|
||||
mandates a 16-byte alignment of the stack frame, so the routines
|
||||
using SSE will save/load SSE vectors onto/from the stack using a
|
||||
<literal>movaps</literal> instruction (which only works with
|
||||
aligned addresses, but faster than its counterpart allowing
|
||||
unaligned addresses, <literal>movups</literal>).</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>But some really old x86-32 Linux binaries (compiled about
|
||||
15 years ago), and all Windows x86-32 binaries which might be
|
||||
run via <application>Wine</application> or <application>Steam</application>
|
||||
only aligns the
|
||||
stack frame to 4-byte. Thus, when it calls a SSE routine in LFS
|
||||
built without <literal>-mstackrealign</literal>, the
|
||||
<literal>movdqa</literal> instruction fails with a General
|
||||
Protection Error and the Linux kernel terminates the process
|
||||
with a SIGSEGV.</para>
