Hi I'm working on updating Valgrind for FreeBSD 13.1. One of the problems that I see is with the testcase none/tests/amd64/amd64locked Here's a link to the source https://sourceware.org/git/?p=valgrind.git;a=blob;f=none/tests/amd64/amd64locked.c;h=baf9bbe1eca91ac672e4373d8f58a476cf4de9d5;hb=HEAD The problem is nor related to Valgrind. If I run the executable alone it fails $ ./amd64locked amd64locked: FAIL: CRCs actual 0xA248D739 expected 0xDF0656F1 amd64locked: set #define VERBOSE 1 to diagnose This is on FreeBSD 13.1 RC6 amd64 running on VirtualBox, compiler version FreeBSD clang version 13.0.0 (git@github.com:llvm/llvm-project.git llvmorg-13.0.0-0-gd7b669b3a303) I'm not familiar with the code. It's a long test for all amd64 instructions with a lock prefix performing CRC calculations. Compiled without optimization it passes The source contains this comment // So there should be 118 lock-prefixed instructions in the // disassembly of this compilation unit. // confirm with // objdump -d ./amd64locked | grep lock | grep -v do_lock | grep -v elf64 | wc This also gives the wrong output. $ objdump -d ./amd64locked | grep lock | grep -v do_lock | grep -v elf64 | wc 136 1193 7376 I'll check what this does on Linux. Any suggestions what can be done? It looks like an issue with the compiler. A+ Paul
