[Bug 1781128] Comment bridged from LTC Bugzilla

[bugproxy]

------- Comment From carll at us.ibm.com 2018-07-13 10:45 EDT-------
The following is from the Valgrind mailing list on July 13 with regards to the next release from the maintainer.

I propose the following:

* Up to 23 Aug: fix as many bugs as we can
* Fri 23 Aug: code freeze.  After this, only "important" bug fixes to land
* Mon 10 Sept: release

At an absolute minimum I would like to have the s390/z13 fixes in, and the
current PT_LOAD problem(s) resolved by then.  Plus of course as many other
fixes as we have time for.  I will create a docs/internals/3_13_BUGSTATUS.txt
file in the next day or so, so as to get a top-level overview of the bug
situation.

Bug description:
  ---Problem Description---
  Valgrind is missing the PPC64 bug fixes and fixes for missing support since the Valgrind 3.13.0 release in June of 2017.  This is causing users trying to use Valgrind to get internal Valgrind errors.  This bugzilla is to get the latest PPC64 patches added to the Ubuntu 18.04 release.
   
  ---uname output---
  Linux genoa 4.4.0-130-generic #156-Ubuntu 
   
  Machine Type = Power 9 

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   Valgrind ./user_application    
  Where the user_application includes vpermr instructions

  Need to have this bugzilla mirred to the Ubuntu Launchpad so we can
  get the right people from Ubuntu to discuss how to address getting the
  needed updates into the long term release support for 18.04.
