Extended Description

Incoming stack of x86 interrupt handler is aligned at 4 bytes (8 bytes for
64-bit). When it calls extern functions, it needs to realign the stack
to 16-byte aligned if it is required:

[hjl@gnu-6 interrupt-1]$ cat xx.i 
extern void bar (void);

extern int i;

void
 __attribute__ ((interrupt))
foo (void *frame)
{
  bar ();
  i = 0;
}
[hjl@gnu-6 interrupt-1]$ /export/build/gnu/gcc-5/build-x86_64-linux/gcc/xgcc -B/export/build/gnu/gcc-5/build-x86_64-linux/gcc/ -O2 xx.i -m32 -mno-sse -S

But clang doesn't align stack:

[hjl@gnu-6 interrupt-1]$ /net/gnu-mic-2//export/build/gnu/llvm-clang/build-x86_64-linux/bin/clang -O2 xx.i -m32 -mno-sse -S
[hjl@gnu-6 interrupt-1]$  cat xx.s
	.text
	.file	"xx.i"
	.globl	foo
	.p2align	4, 0x90
	.type	foo,@function
foo:                                    # @foo
# BB#0:
	pushl	%esp
	pushl	%edx
	pushl	%ecx
	pushl	%eax
	subl	$12, %esp
	calll	bar
	movl	$0, i
	addl	$12, %esp
	popl	%eax
	popl	%ecx
	popl	%edx
	popl	%esp
	iretl
.Lfunc_end0:
	.size	foo, .Lfunc_end0-foo
