Subject: [PATCH] Align the stack on entry to __tls_get_addr()
Old versions of gcc (4 & 5) didn't align the stack according to the
AMD64 psABI when calling __tls_get_addr(). Apparently new versions of
gcc (7) got much more aggressive about vectorizing and generating MOVAPS
instructions, which means old binaries built with the buggy versions of
gcc are much more likely to crash when using versions of glibc built
using gcc 7.
For example, a large number of Linux games built using the Unity game
engine and available for purchase on Steam.
