It is intended to fix PR11468.
Old prologue and epilogue looked like this:
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
and $alignment, %rsp
push %r14
push %r15
...
pop %r15
pop %r14
mov %rbp, %rsp
pop %rbp
The problem was to reference the locations of callee-saved registers in exception handling:
locations of callee-saved had to be re-calculated regarding the stack alignment operation. It would
take some effort to implement this in LLVM, as currently MachineLocation can only have the form
"Register + Offset". Funciton prologue and epilogue are now changed to:
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
push %14
push %15
and $alignment, %rsp
...
lea -$size_of_saved_registers(%rbp), %rsp
pop %r15
pop %r14
pop %rbp

This patch causes problems when both dynamic stack realignment and
dynamic allocas combine in the same function. With this patch, we no
longer build the epilog correctly, and silently restore registers from
the wrong position in the stack.
Thanks to Matt for tracking this down, and getting at least an initial
test case to Chad. I'm going to try to check a variation of that test
case in so we can easily track the fixes required.
