Doc Text:
Rebase package(s) to version: 3.16.1 from 3.15.0 in DTS 9.1 The Valgrind executable code analysis tool has been updated to version 3.16.0, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version: * It is now possible to dynamically change the value of many command-line options while your program is running under Valgrind: through `vgdb`, through a `gdb` connected to the Valgrind gdbserver, or through program client requests. To get a list of dynamically changeable options, run the `valgrind --help-dyn-options` command. * For the Cachegrind (`cg_annotate`) and Callgrind (`callgrind_annotate`) tools the `--auto` and `--show-percs` options now default to `yes`. * The Memcheck tool produces fewer false positive errors on optimized code. In particular, Memcheck now better handles the case when the compiler transformed an `A && B` check into `B && A`, where `B` could be undefined and `A` was false. Memcheck also better handles integer equality checks and non-equality checks on partially defined values. * The experimental Stack and Global Array Checking tool (`exp-sgcheck`) has been removed. An alternative for detecting stack and global array overruns is using the AddressSanitizer (ASAN) facility of GCC, which requires you to rebuild your code with the `-fsanitize=address` option.

Description Mark Wielaard 2020-06-24 13:55:50 UTC
As was done for RHEL 8.3 and GTS10, rebase valgrind to the latest upstream. This time 3.16.1 which includes fixes for two backported fixes compared to 3.16.0 in GTS10.

Thank you for the docs update, Mark.

I've noticed that you've reviewed and approved the RHEL 8.3 release note text with the very same changes for Zuzana Zoubkova.
If you don't mind, I'll reuse the same wording in the DTS 10 changelog.
