Public bug reported: Problem Description ============================ Valgrind in Ubuntu 14.04 only has the needed bit to compile. It is not functional and crashes when used. The Ubuntu 14.04 includes the Valgrind tool using a snap shot of the Valgrind SVN repository from April 11, 2014. The snap shot is the Valgrind 3.9 release and an IBM patch allow the Valgrind tool to compile for PPC64 little endian. However, the needed functional changes did not go into the Valgrind SVN repository until early August 2014. The latest Valgrind release came out in early September 2014.
We request that the next incremental release of Ubuntu 14.04 move to the Valgrind 3.10 release with the full PPC64 little endian support. ---uname output--- Segmentation fault (core dumped) Machine Type = Power 8 LE Steps to Reproduce ========================== 1) valgrind - to invoke the tool and it crashes Userspace tool common name: Valgrind The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit Userspace tool obtained from project website: http://valgrind.org/ ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-118068 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin--- ** Tags added: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-118068 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin--- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386524 Title: Update Ubuntu 14.04 with full Valgrind LE support.
