Aha. eglibc is testing that the syscall succeeds, which is indicated by setting RAX to 0. /* "do" the syscall ourselves; the kernel never sees it */ SET_STATUS_Success2((ULong)*p, tst->arch.vex.guest_RDX ); + SET_STATUS_Success2(0, tst->arch.vex.guest_RAX ); I was just able to get a useful valgrind run on my Debian/kFreeBSD amd64 system: jepler@zaphod:/store/src/valgrind-freebsd$ ./vg-in-place ./a.out ==84159== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==84159== Copyright (C) 2002-2012, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==84159== Using Valgrind-3.8.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==84159== Command: ./a.out ==84159== ==84159== Invalid write of size 2 ==84159== at 0x40055C: main (in /store/src/valgrind-freebsd/a.out) ==84159== Address 0x1556044 is 0 bytes after a block of size 4 alloc'd ==84159== at 0x10056CE: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:274) ==84159== by 0x40054D: main (in /store/src/valgrind-freebsd/a.out) ==84159== ==84159== ==84159== HEAP SUMMARY: ==84159== in use at exit: 4 bytes in 1 blocks ==84159== total heap usage: 1 allocs, 0 frees, 4 bytes allocated ==84159== ==84159== LEAK SUMMARY: ==84159== definitely lost: 4 bytes in 1 blocks ==84159== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==84159== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==84159== still reachable: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==84159== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==84159== Rerun with --leak-check=full to see details of leaked memory ==84159== ==84159== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v ==84159== ERROR SUMMARY: 1 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 7 from 7) This is very exciting!
