I found an x32 bug.  But I couldn't open glibc bug.   I just reported
it here for
record:

On x32, size_t is 32 bit.  We must not use 64-bit register for size_t in
assembly codes for x32:

[hjl@gnu-cfl-1 size-1]$ cat tst-size_t-1.c
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

struct foo
{
  size_t len;
  void *p;
};

static void
__attribute__ ((noinline, noclone))
func (struct foo a, struct foo b)
{
  memcpy (a.p, b.p, a.len);
}

int
main (void)
{
  char bufb[20] = "foo";
  struct foo b = { sizeof (bufb), bufb };
  char *bufa = (char*)mmap(NULL, 0x1000,
   PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
   MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS,
   -1, 0);
  struct foo a = { 0x1000, bufa };
  func (a, b);
  if (memcmp (bufa, bufb, sizeof (bufa)))
    abort ();
  return 0;
}
