            Bug ID: 365912
           Summary: ppc64BE segfault during jm-insns test (RELRO)
           Product: valgrind
           Version: 3.12 SVN
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: jsew...@acm.org
          Reporter: will_schm...@vnet.ibm.com

When running the valgrind tests, the jm-insns test is segfaulting when it
attempts to patch instructions as it deals with the ppc64 (BE) function
descriptor.  
This is actually due to the RELRO option being enabled by default for the ppc64
(BE) platform, per an upstream binutils change. 
Patch to follow.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Build and run valgrind regression test on ppc64 platform with new binutils
installed
2.  specifically run the test  " none/tests/ppc64/jm-insns -f "
3.  see it segfault.

Actual Results:  
...
PPC float load insns
    with one register + one 16 bits immediate args with flags update:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
...


Expected Results:  
...
All done. Tested 77 different instructions


Patch to disable the relro option for the jm-insns test to follow momentarily.
