commit 947388eb043ea1c44b37df94046e1eee790ad776 Author: Mike Crowe Date: Mon Sep 9 14:16:16 2019 +0100 Intercept strncmp for glibc ld.so v2.28+ In glibc 5aad5f617892e75d91d4c8fb7594ff35b610c042 (first released in v2.28) a call to strncmp was added to dl-load.c:is_dst. This causes valgrind to complain about glibc's highly-optimised strncmp performing sixteen-byte reads on short strings in ld.so. Let's intercept strncmp in ld.so too so we use valgrind's simple version to avoid this problem. diff --git a/shared/vg_replace_strmem.c b/shared/vg_replace_strmem.c index 3b42b3a87..5396e83be 100644 --- a/shared/vg_replace_strmem.c +++ b/shared/vg_replace_strmem.c @@ -710,6 +710,8 @@ static inline void my_exit ( int x ) STRNCMP(VG_Z_LIBC_SONAME, __GI_strncmp) STRNCMP(VG_Z_LIBC_SONAME, __strncmp_sse2) STRNCMP(VG_Z_LIBC_SONAME, __strncmp_sse42) + STRNCMP(VG_Z_LD_LINUX_SO_2, strncmp) + STRNCMP(VG_Z_LD_LINUX_X86_64_SO_2, strncmp) #elif defined(VGO_freebsd) STRNCMP(VG_Z_LIBC_SONAME, strncmp)
