x86_64 ABI requires 16-byte stack alignment and compiler already enforces it at the caller side. It does not work when we jump from 32bit code (where stack might not be 16-byte aligned) to 64bit code. So we need a way to enforce the stack alignment at  callee side. In this case the attribute above is helpful.
