I can also reproduce this, on RHEL 8.2 which likewise has valgrind-3.15.0,
using the same configuration to force use of that CRC function. I concur
with your diagnosis that this is just a missed update of the pre-existing
suppression rule. However, rather than
- fun:pg_comp_crc32c
+ fun:pg_comp_crc32c*
as you have it, I'd prefer to use
- fun:pg_comp_crc32c
+ fun:pg_comp_crc32c_sb8
which precisely matches what 4f700bc did. The other way seems like
it's giving a free pass to problems that could lurk in unrelated CRC
implementations.
