Hi, when I am running the gcc testsuite in $builddir/gcc then
$ make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS='ubsan.exp'
comes up with spurious fails.

This was discussed before, and the suspicion was that it was a linux kernel bug. There were multiple kernel fixes pointed at, it wasn't clear which one was required to fix it.

I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my laptop, and I see the problem. I can't run the ubsan testsuites with -j factor greater than one and get reproducible results. There may also be other ways to trigger the problem.

See for instance the thread

The first message in the thread from Andrew Pinski mentions that the log output is corrupted from apparent buffer overflow.
