I can add the following experience: Last night I downloaded Valgrind 3.10.0, applied the patch and built Valgrind with success. Unfortunately on my hardware (Xeon E5 processors) and dpdk-1.7.1 I now get the following error: $ sudo /usr/local/valgrind/bin/valgrind ./build/myprogram -c 0xffff -n 4 ==24093== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==24093== Copyright (C) 2002-2013, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==24093== Using Valgrind-3.10.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==24093== Command: ./build/myprogram -c 0xffff -n 4 ==24093== ERROR: This system does not support "RDRAND". Please check that RTE_MACHINE is set correctly. Has anyone experienced the same?

I just found it and backported to the latest stable: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333051 > > Would it be possible to post your modification of Valgrind in Github, > Bitbucket, or some other repo? I'd like to try this out on my app, too. Sure, it is a good idea. I just did a quick&dirty import of the latest stable release 3.10.0. No git-svn , or anything fancy (github import failed, silently ignoring files...) no gitignore too. And then I applied the patch: https://github.com/bisdn/valgrind-hugepages Please note the comment in README.md, I cannot provide any support or take any responsibility. We will also delete this repo once there is a stable release. But you can at least try it, should work ;) > > Also, not sure if anybody sent this upstream to Valgrind, but if not, > we really should, so it just works by default from now on. It already is, there is simply no stable release yet (see Phillipe comment): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333051#c8 Cheers Marc > > Thanks, > Matthew.
