[Bug 1848211] Re: [SRU] valgrind fails to use debug symbols from glib/gtk

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Sebastien, or anyone else affected,

Accepted valgrind into eoan-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/valgrind/1:3.15.0-1ubuntu3.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-eoan. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * With dwz the .gnu_debuglink section may appear duplicated in the
  debug file referenced originally in the .gnu_debuglink section. In
  that case Valgrind fails to load the debug symbols.

  [Test Case]

   * In Ubuntu releases earlier than 19.10 use gio from a package rebuilt with dwz.
   * Observe no relevant error when running gio with valgrind: 
     $ valgrind /usr/bin/gio ~

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is very simple, just ignoring the second .gnu_debuglink
  found. There are no likely regressions.

  [Original Bug Text]

  The debug symbols from libglib2.0-0-dbgsym and libgtk-3-0-dbgsym don't
  get properly picked up by valgrind in eoan for some reason. The
  symbols correctly work under gdb.

  There is an warning printed from valgrind
  'debuginfo section duplicates a section in the main ELF file'

  Laney tried to rebuild without dh_dwz and it makes the warning go away and the symbol work.
  Downgrading valgrind to the disco version doesn't fix the issue.
