RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mark Wielaard 2013-08-14 09:50:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

Two ppc64 specific testsuite failures (power_ISA2_05 and round).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

valgrind-3.8.1-23.el7

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

Run the testsuite.

Comment 5 Mark Wielaard 2013-08-14 12:46:04 UTC 
Attached the test stdout/stderr log files for these two tests.

Looks like two separate issues. The power_ISA2_05 test crashes, but the round test gives output that is unexpected (and looks indeed like rounding issues).
Comment 6 Mark Wielaard 2013-08-14 13:14:07 UTC 
The round test seems to fail in the same way against valgrind svn trunk. So doesn't seem specific to the rhel7 valgrind package (backports).

The power_ISA2_05 testcase also fails against valgrind svn trunk, but doesn't crash. There is just the following stdout diff:

The crash might be because of a bad backported patch in the valgrind package, I'll investigate some more.
Comment 7 IBM Bug Proxy 2013-08-14 13:41:24 UTC 
I cannot reproduce the Segmentation fault you're seeing with memcheck/tests/ppc64/power_ISA2_05 on my RHEL 6.4 system (building with stock toolchain).

As for the failure with none/tests/ppc64/round . . . This is not a regression; that test was poorly designed and has been flakey for a long time.  It's very low on my priority list to look at fixing this, especially since the testcases are not included in RHEL valgrind rpm package.  So my recommendation for now is to ignore the error.
Comment 8 Mark Wielaard 2013-08-14 14:02:13 UTC

I think it is specific to the current RHEL7 toolchain.
The crash seems to come from not backporting valgrind svn r13490
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323116
I am testing a package with that backported.
Then there is still a small diff in expected output (like comment #6, but slightly different, I'll post when I have the new package ready).

> As for the failure with none/tests/ppc64/round This is not a regression

Yes, it looks so. Thanks. I'll concentrate on the power_ISA2_05 issue and leave the round issue for upstream.

Nope that isn't it either. For some reason the binary created seems to always crash, even when not ran under valgrind:

That is the binary as compiled in the package. A svn trunk checkout build run seems fine.

I'll double check again why that is happening. Either I applied the patch wrongly or the configure check somehow detects something different.
Comment 12 Mark Wielaard 2013-08-14 17:36:43 UTC 
Think I finally found it, there was another patch upstream missing.

r13279

    test_reservation(), test_double_pair_instrs(): Fix broken inline assembly
    causing segfaults with gcc-4.7.  The inline assembly still isn't right,
    but it's better than it was before.

Retesting again.

Yep, that was it. So now everything compiles and nothing is crashing. There is still a diff in output:

But I think we are now just looking at test output issues and all code generation issues are solved. So for now I mark this fixed in valgrind-3.8.1-24.fc20 and we can work upstream to improve the testsuite.

Please do let me know (or open new bug reports) if there are other ppc64 issues that might need a look or a backport to 3.8.1.
Comment 14 Mark Wielaard 2013-09-25 18:49:09 UTC 
Not fully resolved yet. Default powerpc targets have changed and the testsuite build picks this up. We need to explicitly build with the right -mcpu= flag for each test case and not (accidentally) rely on any gcc or rpm-config

Sorry, still not fully resolved. We also have to ignore the configure check for PPC floating point phased out category. The result might differ on ppc vs ppc64 and config.h ends up as public header under /usr/include/valgrind causing multilib problems. The result would only be used for two test cases, not in any of the tools.

To Red Hat team:
I'm confused about what, if anything, I need to do concerning this bug now that the RHEL 7 Partner Inspection Build is available.  The original problem reported involved a segmentation fault in the memcheck/tests/ppc64/power_ISA2_05 testcase which is *not* included in the Valgrind package installed with RHEL.  It seems that a gcc fix was found that resolved that seg fault.  So can we just close this bug?

Yes, I think we can close this bug now.

The bug was indeed that when the testsuite was run during package build this testcase would crash. That has been solved. The valgrind testsuite isn't shipped in the package itself. It is only ran during package building to make sure the package itself is sane.
