The addresses such as
==28151== at 0x400B308: ??? (in /lib/ld-2.12.2.so)
are "in /lib/ld-2.12.2.so", so the code at that location is what matters.
Looking at those addresses (0x4000000 less because of runtime placement
in the process versus no prelinking in the file):

we see that the complaints are about comparisons such as
b1c4: e1520008 cmp r2, r8
b304: e1520005 cmp r2, r5
where one of the operands was an addend for the other:
$$$ b1b4: e0828001 add r8, r2, r1 ### r8 = r2 + r1;
$$$ b2e4: e0825005 add r5, r2, r5 ### r5 += r2;
This looks like [I saw this a decade ago]:
----- glibc-2.12/elf/do-rel.h
auto inline void __attribute__ ((always_inline))
elf_dynamic_do_rel (struct link_map *map,
ElfW(Addr) reladdr, ElfW(Addr) relsize,
int lazy)
{
const ElfW(Rel) *r = (const void *) reladdr;
const ElfW(Rel) *end = (const void *) (reladdr + relsize);
ElfW(Addr) l_addr = map->l_addr;
#if (!defined DO_RELA || !defined ELF_MACHINE_PLT_REL) && !defined
RTLD_BOOTSTRAP
/* We never bind lazily during ld.so bootstrap. Unfortunately gcc is
not clever enough to see through all the function calls to realize
that. */
if (lazy)
{
/* Doing lazy PLT relocations; they need very little info. */
for (; r < end; ++r)
elf_machine_lazy_rel (map, l_addr, r);
}
-----
----- glibc-2.12/elf/dynamic-link.h
# define _ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_RELOC(RELOC, reloc, map, do_lazy, test_rel) \
do { \
struct { ElfW(Addr) start, size; int lazy; } ranges[2]; \
ranges[0].lazy = 0; \
ranges[0].size = ranges[1].size = 0; \
ranges[0].start = 0; \
...
{ \
int ranges_index; \
for (ranges_index = 0; ranges_index < 2; ++ranges_index) \
elf_dynamic_do_##reloc ((map), \
ranges[ranges_index].start, \
ranges[ranges_index].size, \
ranges[ranges_index].lazy); \
} \
-----
Note that ranges[1].start never is initialized in dynamic-link.h,
while elf_dynamic_do_rel() computes the sum
const ElfW(Rel) *r = (const void *) reladdr;
const ElfW(Rel) *end = (const void *) (reladdr + relsize);
and then compares
for (; r < end; ++r)
which relies on
(uninit + 0) == the_same_uninit
Thus glibc violates the C standard, because an operation on an uninitialized
value is totally undefined. Memcheck complains correctly; glibc stubbornly
HAS REFUSED (!!!!!) the trivial fix "ranges[1].start = 0;" which costs *1* CPU
cycle.
Glibc uses this code on all platforms, so why doesn't memcheck complain
everywhere?
Actually memcheck does notice, but the default suppressions hide the complaint.
Why don't the default suppressions work here?
File valgrind/glibc-2.X.supp contains various suppressions such as:
{
dl-hack3-cond-0
Memcheck:Cond
fun:_dl_start
fun:_start
}
{
dl-hack3-cond-1
Memcheck:Cond
obj:*/lib*/ld-2.12*.so*
obj:*/lib*/ld-2.12*.so*
obj:*/lib*/ld-2.12*.so*
}
which suppress "Cond" complaints ("Conditional jump or move depends on
uninitialised value(s)")
in the context of a particular traceback (_dl_start called from _start) or a
pattern
of any three nested routines within ld-2.12*.so*.
THE PROBLEM with Angstrom ld-2.12.2.so is that there are so few symbols
that the traceback is only the *one* routine
==28151== at 0x400B308: ??? (in /lib/ld-2.12.2.so)
whose name memcheck does not know. [The only name that objdump discovers is
_dl_rtld_di_serinfo, which is highly suspect.] Thus the known suppressions
do not match the traceback.
Therefore Angstrom should provide better debugging info for developers.
[And glibc should fix its outright error.]
