Description Mark Wielaard 2018-11-23 15:38:18 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.

The gcc patch https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-10/msg01589.html needs to
be backported to solve this (and then at least glibc needs to be rebuild with
the patched compiler).
Comment 1 Mark Wielaard 2018-11-27 20:36:46 UTC 
Backport gcc patch has been posted upstream now:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-11/msg02161.html
(It hasn't landed on the gcc-8-branch yet though.)
Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2018-11-28 19:51:01 UTC 
This is now on the upstream gcc-8-branch:

	Backport from mainline
	2018-10-25  Aaron Sawdey  <acsawdey@linux.ibm.com>

	* config/rs6000/rs6000-string.c (expand_strncmp_gpr_sequence): Change to
	a shorter sequence with fewer branches.
	(emit_final_str_compare_gpr): Ditto.

	Backport from mainline to allow the above code to go in:
	2018-06-14  Aaron Sawdey  <acsawdey@linux.ibm.com>

	* config/rs6000/rs6000-string.c (do_and3, do_and3_mask,
	do_cmpb3, do_rotl3): New functions.

Comment 11 Michael Petlan 2019-02-11 14:31:40 UTC 
I think I have finally managed to see the difference in code generated by 8.2.1-3.3.el8 and -3.5.el8. I have tried it on expanded strcmp:
