Description Mark Wielaard 2018-11-23 15:26:08 UTC
On ppc64le gcc8 generates inlined code for str[n]cmp that valgrind memcheck cannot proof correct. gcc9/trunk generates slightly different code for the inlined strncmp code that valgrind memcheck can proof correct with some patches.

To solve this bug fully some patches from valgrind https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386945#c35 need to be backported. The gcc patch https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-10/msg01589.html needs to be backported. And at least glibc needs to be rebuild with the new gcc compiler.
