Package: valgrind
Version: 1:3.11.0-1+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

There is a bug in valgrind where valgrind tries to translate instructions to
VEX, however, there is no representation for the RDRAND instruction
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RdRand) that are available on certain
core-i7-4900 processors (required to reproduce) which makes valgrind quit with
an error message.
The bug is known and fixed in https://github.com/svn2github/valgrind-
vex/commit/1ab61656f71e94ce12b68de87f1e28cf3dc0c18c
Rebuilding from `apt-get source valgrind` and changing the one character as
described in the patch solves this problem.

instruction
I would like you to apply the patch to the package so people don't need to do
it by hand.
