Bug description:
  ---Problem Description---
  Valgrind is missing the PPC64 bug fixes and fixes for missing support since the Valgrind 3.13.0 release in June of 2017.  This is causing users trying to use Valgrind to get internal Valgrind errors.  This bugzilla is to get the latest PPC64 patches added to the Ubuntu 18.04 release.
   
  ---uname output---
  Linux genoa 4.4.0-130-generic #156-Ubuntu 
   
  Machine Type = Power 9 

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   Valgrind ./user_application    
  Where the user_application includes vpermr instructions

  Need to have this bugzilla mirred to the Ubuntu Launchpad so we can
  get the right people from Ubuntu to discuss how to address getting the
  needed updates into the long term release support for 18.04.
