[Valgrind-developers] Valgrind-3.19.0.RC1 is available for testing

[Mark W. <ma...@kl...>]

Hi valgrind hackers,

An RC1 tarball for 3.19.0 is now available at
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/valgrind/valgrind-3.19.0.RC1.tar.bz2
https://sourceware.org/pub/valgrind/valgrind-3.19.0.RC1.tar.bz2
(md5sum = d784310ca4c159e4d6c36c7dacffc3ed)

Please give it a try in configurations that are important for you and
report any problems you have, either on this mailing list, or
(preferably) via our bug tracker at
https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind

There are are couple of issues I like to look into which have patches
that need review:
451878 Add support for new syscall memfd_secret
450437 Warn for execve syscall with argv or argv[0] being NULL.
445011 SIGCHLD is sent when valgrind uses debuginfod-find 

And this not yet fully understood issue:
452058 Generated suppressions contain a mix of mangled (physical)
       and demangled (inline) frames

If there are any other urgent issues please do propose patches.

I'll like to do an RC2 on Wednesday, with a final release on Friday,
April 8th if everything goes well.

I ran make regtest on a Fedora 36 pre-release on x86_64, s390x,
ppc64le and aarch64 which uses:
gcc 12.0.1 (pre-release)
binutils 2.37
glibc 2.35
kernel 5.17.0.rc7 (pre-release)

I assumed we would have more test cases issues with GCC 12 since that
showed more warnings and more aggressively inlined some functions, but
it seems Paul already fixed all those issues.

On all architectures there are two drd failures which are unexplained
for now. ppc64le has a couple of failures where the aspace manager
crashes with:

--492941:0: aspacem segment mismatch: V's seg 1st, kernel's 2nd:
--492941:0: aspacem   1: file 0004000000-000400ffff   65536 r---- SmFixed d=0x........ i=8463    o=0      (2,89) /usr/lib64/ld64.so.2

--492941:0: aspacem Exiting now.

I think this comes from the new kernel, since it is an rc kernel maybe
it is an kernel issue. I'll try to retest with a 5.17.0 final kernel.
