Hi there! I'm quite new to Linux and was trying to use Valgrind for
finding leaks on 32-bit Linux ARMv7 (3.6.0, armv7l).
I crosscompiled Valgrind using non-stripped version of uClibc library.
I tried Valgrind version 3.9.0 and then newest from SVN (13985).
ldd's output for valgrind:
/# ldd /usr/bin/valgrind
ldd: can't open cache '/etc/ld.so.cache'
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb6f27000)
libc.so.0 => /lib/libc.so.0 (0xb6ed2000)
ld-uClibc.so.0 => /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 (0xb6f3a000)
I tried detecting obvious leak in an example:
/* leak.c */
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int *x = malloc(10 * sizeof(int));
return 0;
}
On Linux/x86-64 leak was detected.
On Linux/ARM using --trace-redir=yes option I've found that
vgpreload_core-arm-linux.so and vgpreload_memcheck-arm-linux.so files
are not being read.
Using strace on Valgrind I found that vgpreload_memcheck-arm-linux.so
is accessed, but not used
(access("/usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-arm-linux.so", R_OK) = 0).
I've checked ld-uClibc-0.9.33.2.so, libuClibc-0.9.33.2.so and
Valgrind's *.so files using 'file' and 'readelf'. They are not
stripped.
Also, have checked libuClibc-0.9.33.2.so for 'malloc' with 'readelf -a
libuClibc-0.9.33.2.so | grep malloc'. It's there.
Have checked sonames. They are same as shown in Valgrind's log.

On Linux/x86-64 using --trace-redir=yes I've found, that functions
from libc.so.0 are being redirected after
vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so is being read.
Excerpt from log:

Also hardwired sonames are redirected on x86-64, but not on ARM.
But that's maybe cause soname 'ld-uClibc.so.0' differs from
'ld-linux.so.3' and 'ld-linux-armhf.so.3'.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Andrejs
