Description Mark Wielaard 2019-05-19 22:33:02 UTC
This is simply to get cleaner testsuite results on aarch64.
The following upstream patch will make sure that the testsuite can be run as root:

commit 917e423073c5eacffbad83008c27c8e61e0e342a

    Make memcheck/tests/arm64-linux/scalar test work under root.
    
    Running the testsuite as root isn't really recommended.
    But lets not make tests fail unnecessarily when running as root.
    Pass really invalid arguments to setuid, setgid, acct and fchown.
    Make setresgid, setresuid, setregid and setreuid always succeed.

Comment 2 Alexandra Petlanová Hájková 2019-05-22 12:00:08 UTC
I verified scalar test passes when run as root for valgrind-3.15.0-5.el8 and failing for valgrind-3.15.0-3.el8.
