H A Dunwind_frame.cdiff 99bd28a49b150e4b938313a63b5532d95ba77885 Tue Oct 10 03:20:04 CEST 2017 Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> x86/unwind: Align stack pointer in unwinder dump

When printing the unwinder dump, the stack pointer could be unaligned,
for one of two reasons:

- stack corruption; or

- GCC created an unaligned stack.

There's no way for the unwinder to tell the difference between the two,
so we have to assume one or the other. GCC unaligned stacks are very
rare, and have only been spotted before GCC 5. Presumably, if we're
doing an unwinder stack dump, stack corruption is more likely than a
GCC unaligned stack. So always align the stack before starting the
dump.
