There seem to be a .CFI directive after every line and also there are wide varieties of these ex.,.cfi_startproc , .cfi_endproc etc.. more here.
.file "temp.c"
.text
.globl main
.type main, @function
main:
.LFB0:
.cfi_startproc
pushq %rbp
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
movq %rsp, %rbp
.cfi_offset 6, -16
.cfi_def_cfa_register 6
movl $0, %eax
leave
ret
.cfi_endproc
.LFE0:
.size main, .-main
.globl func
.type func, @function
func:
.LFB1:
.cfi_startproc
pushq %rbp
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
movq %rsp, %rbp
.cfi_offset 6, -16
.cfi_def_cfa_register 6
movl %edi, -4(%rbp)
movl %esi, %eax
movb %al, -8(%rbp)
leave
ret
.cfi_endproc
.LFE1:
.size func, .-func

I didn't get the purpose of these.
I've got a feeling it stands for Call Frame Information and is a GNU AS extension to manage call frames. From DeveloperWorks:
On some architectures, exception handling must be managed with Call Frame Information directives. These directives are used in the assembly to direct exception handling. These directives are available on Linux on POWER, if, for any reason (portability of the code base, for example), the GCC generated exception handling information is not sufficient.
It looks like these are generated on some platforms depending on need for exception handling.
If you are looking to disable these, please see David's answer.
