builtins: correct constant alignments
MMX/SSE instructions expect 128-bit alignment (16-byte) for constants that they reference. Correct the alignment on the constant values. Although it is quite possible for the data to end up aligned, there is no guarantee that this will occur unless it is explicitly aligned to the desired location. If the data ends up being unaligned, the resultant binary would fault at runtime due to the unaligned access. As an example, the follow would fault previously: cc -c lib/builtins/x86_64/floatundidf.S -o floatundidf.o cc -c test/builtins/Unit/floatundidf_test.c -o floatundidf_test.c ld -m elf_x86_64 floatundidf.o floatundidf_test.o -lc -o floatundidf However, if the object files were reversed, the data would end up aligned and the problem would go unnoticed. llvm-svn: 214033
