Hi Jason,


we had experienced a similar problem with the OSELAS 2012.12.1 toolchain. 
In our case the problem was the missing .size directive in assembler reimplementations of strlen and memcpy from the linaro cortex-strings patch for glibc.

Does your "readelf -s /path/to/your/libc.so.6" output look like this?

...
828: 00019491 0 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 memcpy
...
949: 00018690 164 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 strcmp
...
996: 000189d1 0 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 strlen
...

Note the zeroes  in the 3rd column. If so, you may have the same problem.

You may find our workaround in the attachment. The patch has to be applied after the Linaro NEON patch. No idea why strcmp also had to be touched though.

Betreff: Re: [ptxdist] Including valgrind in the configuration doesn't trigger an un-optimized build of glibc.

Michael,

It looks like the toolchain is configured as OSELAS.Toolchain-2014.12.  I've recently been added to a team which had this existing ptxdist setup, so I've been trying to learn my way around ptxdist while trying to get valgrind enabled to test an issue.

The initial run of valgrind results in the message shown in my first message:

Since ld-linux-armhf.so.3 is a symlink to ld-2.20.so, I copied ld-2.20.so from the root-debug/lib location and re-ran valgrind.  The referenced function changed, but the file it expected it in did not (for brevity, I've only retained the function and file lines).

The fact that the reference was expected in the same file, along with additional searching, led me to think that the optimization was the problem.


Thanks,

Hmm, strage, The only problems I've seen are with stripped binaries. Which toolchain are you using?
