- restart syscalls which return ERESETARTSYS
- make code to restart a syscall common
- keep a process-wide pending signal set to store as-yet
undelivered signals (only used in 2.4 mode; TODO: siginfo, queues)
- make execve work a bit better - it is impossible to recover from
execve failing, so we try to check that it will before running the
syscall itself (also fixes bug with SuSE 8.2 kernel)

Scientific Library (gsl-1.4) compiled with Intel Icc 7.1 20030307Z '-g
-O -xW'. I think this gives pretty good coverage of SSE/SSE2 floating
point instructions, or at least the subset emitted by Icc. So far
tested on memcheck and nulgrind; addrcheck and cachesim still testing.

memory address, based on which variables are in scope at the time and
their types.
As part of this change, I restructured the symbol table parsing code,
by splitting the stabs and dwarf-specific parts into their own files.
I also added a new set of vg_symtypes.[ch] files which contains the
type system code and the core of the VG_(describe_addr)().
I've only implemented the stabs type parser. I have not yet implemented
the DWARF2 parser. It looks well-defined but complex.
The only skin which uses this is Helgrind at the moment.

can treat it like add and generate partially-defined results of multiply
with partially defined arguments. It may also speed things up a bit,
if they use lots of multiplies.
This change only deals with signed "new style" multiplies. That the x86
has two quite different kinds of multiply instructions: the "old-style"
signed and unsigned multiply which uses fixed registers (eax:edx) and
generates a result twice the size of the arguments, and the newer signed
multiple which takes general addressing modes. It seems that gcc always
(almost always?) generates the new signed multiply instructions, except
for byte-sized multiplies.

with the aim of making it more robust, more correct and perhaps faster.
This patch removes the need to poll blocking syscalls, by adding a proxy
LWP for each application thread. This LWP is a kernel thread whose job
is to run all (potentially) blocking syscalls, and also to handle signals.
This allows the kernel to do more of the work of dealing with signals,
so on kernels which do this properly (2.6), Valgrind's behavious is a
lot more posix compliant. On base 2.4 kernels, we emulate some of the
missing 2.6 functionality.

valgrind.h. Although these requests are not implemented by the core, they can
be implemented by skins that track heap blocks, eg. Memcheck, Annelid, Massif.
This is in preparation for committing Massif to the repository.
I think I managed to make the change in a binary-compatible way. The only
inconvenience for users is that if they have a client program compiled with the
old requests in, Valgrind will abort with an explanatory message that tells
them to recompile. Once they've done that (no changes to their program are
required), it works again.
I even updated the docs.

requests from the Memcheck requests and putting the descriptions in the
appropriate parts of the docs.
Removed the __VALGRIND_SOME_SKIN_H test -- it was designed to prevent people
#including valgrind.h when they probably want memcheck.h, but it's actually a
reasonable thing to do to #include valgrind.h alone, because there are some
requests in valgrind.h.
Removed references to VALGRIND_MAKE_NOACCESS_STACK from the docs, as it doesn't
exist in the implementation.
Fixed a few other minor things.

how stack snapshots are taken and printed; they can be used in preference
to VG_(get_ExeContext)() and VG_(pp_ExeContext)(). These are used by
Massif, my heap profiling skin.
Changed --num-callers to allow a backtrace size of 1.
Added code so that when Valgrind fails to disassemble an instruction, the
instructions line/file and address are printed out, which makes it easier to
work out where and what it is. Required the stack snapshot changes above.

had forgotten that some errors (PThread errors) are found by the core, rather
than skins and so the skin shouldn't be involved in handling them. This commit

problem which caused the leak checker to misbehave following recent
PLT-bypass workaround.
In short, it is an error to announce to the skin, segments found which
belong to the low-level memory manager, because the skin may then mark
them as accessible to the client. This is wrong, and the client
should only acquire accessible memory via malloc etc and stack
movement. Now we carefully avoid mentioning any segment belonging to
the low level memory manager.
Take the opportunity to improve VG_(within_m_state_static) so that it
also detects pointers within the thread table. This can reduce the
number of blocks the leak checker spuriously thinks are still
reachable.

a way consistent with the position of the register field in the
instruction. In Intel encoding parlance, the G register is in bits
5,4,3 and the E register is bits 2,1,0, and so we adopt this scheme
consistently. Considering how much confusion this has caused me in
this recent bout of SSE hacking, consistent renaming can only be a
good thing. It makes it a lot easier to figure out if parts of the
SSE handling machinery are correct, or not.

run Qt-3.1 as built with "icc -xW" (P4 code generation). Hopefully by

mostly a question of filling in the gaps.
I think I might have created a bug of some kind with SSE3g_RegWr. My
current test app segfaults if I run without --optimise=no, which makes
me think I've written something erroneous in the UInstr predicates
controlling optimisation. I don't know what though.

Removed the SK_(written_shadow_regs_values)() function. Instead, skins that
use shadow regs can track the `post_regs_write_init' event, and set the shadow
regs from within it. This is much more flexible, since it allows each shadow
register to be set to a separate value if necessary. It also matches the new
shadow-reg-change events described below.
In the core, there were some places where the shadow regs were changed, and
skins had no way of knowing about it, which was a problem for some skins.
So I added a bunch of new events to notify skins about these:
post_reg_write_syscall_return
post_reg_write_deliver_signal
post_reg_write_pthread_return
post_reg_write_clientreq_return
post_reg_write_clientcall_return
Any skin that uses shadow regs should almost certainly track these events. The
post_reg_write_clientcall_return allows a skin to tailor the shadow reg of the
return value of a CLIENTCALL'd function appropriately; this is especially
useful when replacing malloc() et al.
Defined some macros that should be used *whenever the core changes the value of
a shadow register* :
SET_SYSCALL_RETVAL
SET_SIGNAL_EDX (maybe should be SET_SIGNAL_RETVAL? ... not sure)
SET_SIGNAL_ESP
SET_CLREQ_RETVAL
SET_CLCALL_RETVAL
SET_PTHREQ_ESP
SET_PTHREQ_RETVAL
These replace all the old SET_EAX and SET_EDX macros, and are added in a few
places where the shadow-reg update was missing.
Added shadow registers to the machine state saved/restored when signal handlers
are pushed/popped (they were missing).
Added skin-callable functions VG_(set_return_from_syscall_shadow)() and
VG_(get_exit_status_shadow)() which are useful and abstract away from which
registers the results are in.
Also, poll() changes %ebx (it's first argument) sometimes, I don't know why.
So we notify skins about that too (with the `post_reg_write_syscall_return'
event, which isn't ideal I guess...)

because there was no point exposing them to clients, as they don't know the
ThreadState type.
Also, removed the LOGMESSAGE request type, replaced it with calls to
VG_(message) via the generic VALGRIND_NON_SIMD_CALL2.
In fact, almost every single pthread client request could be removed in this
same way. That would result in less code, which would be nice... yeah, real
nice.

the output file wouldn't get written. No longer creating the file at startup
and then writing it at the end; just writing it at the end. Also recording
the start directory at the start so that the output ends up in it even if the
program does change directory.
Had to add VG_(getcwd)() to vg_mylibc.c for this.
Added a regression test for it too.

NPTL support.
The behaviour of weak vs strong symbols seems to have changed in
glibc-2.3.2. This caused problems in coregrind/vg_intercept.c,
wherein strong symbols in vg_libpthread.c were intended to
override weak symbols in vg_intercept.c, in order to give alternative
thread-safe implementations of some functions, poll(), select(), etc.
The change involves moving the nonblocking implementations of poll, etc
into vg_intercept.c, renaming them to (eg) VGR_(poll), and routing
all calls to poll to VGR_(poll) [dually for other such fns]. This
means even single-threaded programs now use these functions, but
that doesn't strike me as harmful.

The first returns the number of errors found so far, and is a core request.
The second returns the number of bytes found
reachable/dubious/leaked/suppressed by all leak checks so far, for Memcheck and
Addrcheck.
Both are useful for using Valgrind in regression test suites where multiple
tests are present in a single file -- one can run Valgrind with no output
(using --logfile-fd=-1) and use the requests after each test to determine if
any errors happened.
Had to rename and make public vg_n_errs_found --> VG_(n_errs_found) to do so.
Nb: leak errors are not counted as errors for the purposes of
VALGRIND_COUNT_ERRORS. This was decided as the best thing to do after
discussion with Olly Betts, who original suggested these changes.
Pulled out common client request code shared between Memcheck and Addrcheck.
Added a regression test for this.
Added some documentation too.
