It looks like recent glibc implements epoll_wait() as epoll_pwait() with
a NULL sigmask argument, and valgrind isn't happy with it.

Done that. I've added a valgrind-global.supp that has:

{
   null-sigmask-to-pwait-means-no-sigmask
   Memcheck:Param
   epoll_pwait(sigmask)
   fun:epoll_pwait
   fun:WaitEventSetWaitBlock
}

Locally the above suppression allowed me to continue a bit further. But
I promptly hit other new blurbs:

This looks like it might be related to recent plpgsql changes. Looks
like some pointer in:
            /* call input function (similar to InputFunctionCall) */
            if (!op->d.iocoerce.finfo_in->fn_strict || str != NULL)
is NULL.

I don't recall any recent changes in the area, so this might be a glibc
internal issue.
