Description Dan Winship 2011-05-18 13:33:20 UTC
glibc-2.13.90-11.x86_64's memcpy/memmove seem to be doing 8-byte copies in some situations where there are fewer than 8 bytes left in the source buffer. Eg, running "valgrind epiphany", you see lots of:

==326== Invalid read of size 8
==326==    at 0x31A9B35BD0: __memcpy_ssse3_back (memcpy-ssse3-back.S:513)
...
==326==  Address 0xcabd658 is 424 bytes inside a block of size 431 alloc'd
==326==    at 0x4A0640D: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:236)


and

==326== Invalid read of size 8
==326==    at 0x31A9B3AC68: __memmove_ssse3_back (memcpy-ssse3-back.S:236)
...
==326==  Address 0x1643ca78 is 1,592 bytes inside a block of size 1,599 alloc'd
==326==    at 0x4A064F2: realloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:525)

etc

On F14, with glibc-2.13-1.x86_64, and building the same version of epiphany and other GNOME dependencies by hand, these warnings do not appear.

I haven't been able to come up with a trivial test case.

Comment 1 Andreas Schwab 2011-05-18 13:43:14 UTC
This is a false positive, the address is correctly aligned.

Comment 2 Dan Winship 2011-05-18 14:09:32 UTC
I'm pretty sure it's not claiming incorrect alignment, it's claiming that glibc is doing an (aligned) 8-byte read when there are only 7 bytes left in the buffer, and so it is reading 1 byte beyond the end of the buffer.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2011-05-18 14:15:46 UTC
There is nothing wrong in reading that 1 byte beyond the end of the buffer, if you know the read won't trap because of that and if you don't actualy use it.

valgrind overrides glibc's memmove (and many other functions) though, so it is strange that glibc memmove has been called.

seward suggests this as a quick-fix to make valgrind usable again

Comment 5 Jakub Jelinek 2011-06-08 16:30:35 UTC
I don't think the patch is correct, after all there are 3 different memmove implementations.  As it worked in F14 and valgrind already has IFUNC support, I bet this is related to the glibc workaround for lame apps.

readelf -Ws /lib64/libc.so.6 | grep 'memcpy\|memmove' | grep -v 'LOCAL\|wmem\|_chk'
  1103: 00000035e7a83160    71 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 memcpy.5
  1104: 00000035e7a88d40    60 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 memcpy@@GLIBC_2.14
  1944: 00000035e7a83160    71 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 memmove@@GLIBC_2.2.5
  5575: 00000035e7a83160    71 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 memcpy.5
  6284: 00000035e7a83160    71 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 memmove
  7443: 00000035e7a88d40    60 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 memcpy@@GLIBC_2.14

shows that in glibc 2.14+ memcpy.5 is IFUNC aliased to memmove, while
memcpy@@GLIBC_2.14 is a real memcpy (again, IFUNC).

Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2011-06-09 08:57:06 UTC
Well, we could stick in the other two implementation too. The crucial bit for me is that locally I get sane useful results out of valgrind again.

Comment 7 Jakub Jelinek 2011-06-13 16:10:24 UTC
Please try rawhide valgrind (3.6.1-4.fc16), if that works, will build the same for f15 updates-testing too.

Comment 10 Caolan McNamara 2011-06-16 09:22:13 UTC
It solves that. I do however get new warnings of...

Comment 11 Jakub Jelinek 2011-06-16 09:31:01 UTC
Forgotten yum update?  F14 now has glibc-2.14, instead of glibc-2.13.90.

Comment 12 Caolan McNamara 2011-06-16 10:36:23 UTC
Ah, indeed. Yup, noiseless now.

Comment 13 Fedora Update System 2011-06-24 03:39:52 UTC
valgrind-3.6.1-4.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
