Affected Products:

  * Development Tools Module 15-SP6

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 15 SP6
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 15 SP6
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP6

An update that contains one feature and has one fix can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for valgrind fixes the following issues:

valgrind was updated to 3.24.0 (jsc#PED-10260):

  * Bad file descriptor usage now generates a real error with \--track-fds=yes
    that is suppressible and shows up in the xml output with full execution
    backtrace. The warnings shown without using the option are deprecated and
    will be removed in a future valgrind version.
  * Ada name demangling is now supported in error messages.

  * Bugs fixed:

  * open fd at exit --log-socket=127.0.0.1:1500 with \--track-fds=yes

  * An instruction in fftw (Fast Fourier Transform) is unhandled by valgrind:
    vex x86->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0x66 0xF 0x3A 0x2
  * \--log-file=FILE leads to apparent fd leak
  * Fedora18/x86_64 --sanity-level=3 : aspacem segment mismatch
  * fcntl works on Valgrind's own file descriptors
  * arm64 unhandled instruction dc zva392146 aarch64: unhandled instruction
    0xD5380001 (MRS rT, midr_el1)
  * Unhandled AVX instruction vmovq %xmm9,%xmm1
  * aarch64: unhandled instruction 0xD5380001 (MRS rT, midr_el1)
  * SIGILL on cache flushes on arm64
  * vex amd64->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0xC5 0x79 0xD6 0xED 0xC5
  * s390x: Failed assertion in disassembler
  * MIPS: wrong syscall numbers used
  * Support Armv8.2 SHA-512 instructions
  * Java/Ada/D demangling is probably broken
  * gbserver_tests failures in aarch64
  * Valgrind leaks file descriptors
  * [Valgrind][MIPS] 'VexGuestArchState' has no member named
    'guest_IP_AT_SYSCALL'
  * memccpy false positives
  * linux inotify_init syscall wrapper missing POST entry in syscall_table
  * SIGILL in JDK11, JDK17
  * Alignment error when using Eigen with Valgrind and -m32
  * Use of `sizeof` instead of `strlen
  * \--track-fds=yes errors that cannot be suppressed with \--xml-file=
  * Add tests for --track-fds=yes --xml=yes and fd suppression tests
  * massif trace change to show the location increasing the stack
  * Valgrind throws unhandled instruction bytes: 0xC5 0x79 0xD6 0xE0 0xC5
  * arm64: Instruction fcvtas should round 322.5 to 323, but result is 322.
  * vgdb handle EINTR and EAGAIN more consistently
  * Stop using -flto-partition=one
  * (vgModuleLocal_addDiCfSI): Assertion 'di->fsm.have_rx_map &&
    di->fsm.rw_map_count' failed
  * False positive on x86/amd64 with ZF taken directly from addition
  * statx(fd, NULL, AT_EMPTY_PATH) is supported since Linux 6.11 but not
    supported in valgrind
  * Please support DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_HANDLE_TO_FD
  * Valgrind ignores debug info for some binaries
  * Add bad fd usage errors for --track-fds in ML_(fd_allowed)
  * Missing FUSE_COMPATIBLE_MAY_BLOCK markers
  * direct readlink syscall from PRE handler is incompatible with
    FUSE_COMPATIBLE_MAY_BLOCK
  * s390x: Fix regtest failure for none/tests/s390x/op00
  * s390x: Store/restore FPC upon helper call causes slowdown
  * s390x: incorrect disassembly for LOCHI and friends
  * Fixes and tweaks for gsl19test
  * PowerPC instruction dcbf should allow the L field values of 4, 6 on ISA 3.0
    and earlier, just ignore the value
  * aligned_alloc and posix_memalign missing MALLOC_TRACE with returned pointer
  * s390x: 3.24.0.RC1 missing file and regtest failure

Update to 3.23.0 (jsc#PED-10260) (bsc#1243671):

  * Added ARM64 support for FreeBSD.
  * ARM64 now supports dotprod instructions (sdot/udot).
  * AMD64 better supports code build with -march=x86-64-v3. fused-multiple-add
    instructions (fma) are now emulated more accurately. And memcheck now
    handles __builtin_strcmp using 128/256 bit vectors with sse4.1, avx/avx2.
  * S390X added support for NNPA (neural network processing assist) facility
    vector instructions VCNF, VCLFNH, VCFN, VCLFNL, VCRNF and NNPA (z16/arch14).
  * X86 recognizes new binutils-2.42 nop patterns.

  * Valgrind incompatibility with binutils-2.42 on x86 with new nop patterns
    (unhandled instruction bytes: 0x2E 0x8D 0xB4 0x26)
