Hi Florian,

the test is also failing on my system and I've had a look into it.

In setup_explicit_clear, the buffer is filled with the test_pattern.
On s390x the memcpy in prepare_test_buffer is done by loading
r4 / r5 with the test_pattern and using store multiple instruction
to store r4 / r5 to buf.
If explicit_bzero is resolved in setup_explicit_clear, r4 / r5 is
stored to stack by _dl_runtime_resolve and the call to memmem in
count_test_patterns finds a hit of the test_pattern on the stack.

The attached patch resolves all symbols at program startup by linking
with -z now.  This omits the call of _dl_runtime_resolve within
setup_explicit_clear and the test passes.

If this is okay, I'll commit this patch and clear this bug in the 
release blockers list in the release-wiki.

Bye
Stefan

ChangeLog:

	[BZ #21006]
	* string/Makefile (LDFLAGS-tst-xbzero-opt): New variable.

This seems like a reasonable workaround to me.  Please commit.

(Guess we better add "spill slots for callee-save registers, including
registers saved only by dynamic linker stubs" to the list of things to
worry about when adding explicit_bzero to the compiler...)

commit a07f447fd235d1898a56af7317a4ff6a11a603b9
Author: Stefan Liebler <stli@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

    S390: Fix FAIL in test string/tst-xbzero-opt [BZ #21006]
    
    On s390x this test failed with:
    FAIL: explicit clear/test: expected 0 got 1
    
    In setup_explicit_clear, the buffer is filled with the test_pattern.
    On s390x the memcpy in prepare_test_buffer is done by loading
    r4 / r5 with the test_pattern and using store multiple instruction
    to store r4 / r5 to buf.
    If explicit_bzero is resolved in setup_explicit_clear, r4 / r5 is
    stored to stack by _dl_runtime_resolve and the call to memmem in
    count_test_patterns finds a hit of the test_pattern on the stack.
    
    This patch resolves all symbols at program startup by linking with
    -z now.  This omits the call of _dl_runtime_resolve within
    setup_explicit_clear and the test passes.
