The stub_exe could segfault when built with some compilers (e.g. gcc
13.2.0), as SSE instructions which relied on stack alignment could be
generated, but the stack was misaligned.
This seems to be due to the __start entry point being run with a 16-byte
aligned stack, but the x86_64 SYSV ABI wanting the stack to be so
aligned _before_ a function call (so it is misaligned when the function
is entered due to the return address being pushed). The function
prologue then realigns it. Because the entry point is never _called_,
and hence there is no return address, the prologue is therefore actually
misaligning it, and causing the generated movaps instructions to
SIGSEGV. This results in the following error:
start_userspace : expected SIGSTOP, got status = 139
Don't generate this prologue for __start by using
__attribute__((naked)), which resolves the issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
