Re: [PATCH] bsd-user/x86_64/target_arch_thread.h: Align stack

[Warner Losh]

Hmmm... All platforms likely need this....

Oh, they all have it except x86, both 32 and 64-bit.... but i386 is already properly aligned (at least in the

FreeBSD kernel), so maybe that's not needed.

The formula in sys/amd64/amd64/exec_machdep.c, exec_setregs is
