the guest extents for the presented translation and also its original
un-redirected guest address. These changes are needed in particular
to make cachegrind's code cache management work properly.

deal with any IR that happens to show up. This makes it work on ppc32
and should fix occasionally-reported bugs on x86/amd64 where it bombs
due to having to deal with multiple date references in a single
instruction.
The new scheme is based around the idea of a queue of memory events
which are outstanding, in the sense that no IR has yet been generated
to do the relevant helper calls. The presence of the queue --
currently 16 entries deep -- gives cachegrind more scope for combining
multiple memory references into a single helper function call. As a
result it runs 3%-5% faster than the previous version, on x86.
This commit also changes the type of the tool interface function
'tool_discard_basic_block_info' and clarifies its meaning. See
comments in include/pub_tool_tooliface.h.

changes from r4341 through r4787 inclusive). That branch is now dead.
Please do not commit anything else to it.
For the most part the merge was not troublesome. The main areas of
uncertainty are:
- build system: I had to import by hand Makefile.core-AM_CPPFLAGS.am
and include it in a couple of places. Building etc seems to still
work, but I haven't tried building the documentation.
- syscall wrappers: Following analysis by Greg & Nick, a whole lot of
stuff was moved from -generic to -linux after the branch was created.
I think that is satisfactorily glued back together now.
- Regtests: although this appears to work, no .out files appear, which
is strange, and makes it hard to diagnose regtest failures. In
particular memcheck/tests/x86/scalar.stderr.exp remains in a
conflicted state.
- amd64 is broken (slightly), and ppc32 will be unbuildable. I'll
attend to the former shortly.

higher-order functions for traversing data structures. The higher-order
approach is too clumsy due to the lack of polymorphism and closures; you
have to use void* too much and it is more verbose than it should be.
Hence, I replaced all the uses of HT_first_match() and
HT_apply_to_all_nodes() with equivalent uses of the hashtable iterator.
Also replaced higher-order traversal functions for Memcheck's freed-list
and the thread stacks with iterators. That last change changes the
core/tool interface, so I've increased the version number.

the unused init_shadow_page() function. As a result, m_aspacemgr no longer
depends on m_libcmman, breaking a circular module dependency, good!

things. These made sense when the arch/OS/platform-specific code was in
one module, but as that code got mixed in with generic code the boundary
between generic and non-generic blurred, and the distinction made less
sense. So let's get rid of them.

I've changed it so it now is, which makes it consistent with the
other 'needs'. Because of this, I was also able to invert the dependence
between m_mallocfree and m_tooliface, which is related to setting
the redzone size for client heap blocks. As a result, m_tooliface
now doesn't depend on anything except pub_core_basics.h, hooray!

the m_syscalls module. Fundamentally the aim of the overhaul is to
clean up the logic and abstractions surrounding syscalls in order that
we can cleanly support ppc32 and other new targets. Aims in detail:
* To further decouple the syscall PRE/POST wrappers from specifics of
how those values are stored on a given platform. The wrappers look
the same as they did before, mostly (eg, references to ARGn and
RES are unchanged), but now those macros refer to values in structs
SyscallArgs and SyscallStatus (see priv_types_n_macros.h).
* Complete overhaul of the driver logic for syscalls. The resulting
logic is algorithmically identical to what we had before, but is
more documented, and deals with moving arg/result data between
platform specific representations and the canonical forms in
structs SyscallArgs and SyscallStatus.
* Also as a result of this change, remove problems in the old logic
due to assignments of RES in PRE wrappers trashing the ARGs whilst
we still need to see them.
* Lots of other cleanups and documentation. There is extensive
commentary in syscalls-main.c.
The driver logic has been placed in its own file, syscalls-main.c.
New/deleted files in m_syscalls:
* syscalls.c is divided up into syscalls-main.c, containing driver
logic, and syscalls-generic.c, containing generic Unix wrappers.
* priv_syscalls.h is chopped up into priv_types_n_macros.h
and priv_syscalls-{generic,main}.h.
------------
All the above changes are in m_syscalls. However there is one
system-wide change as a result of all this.
The x86-linux assumption that syscall return values in the range -4095
.. -1 are errors and all others are values, has been done away with
everywhere. Instead there is a new basic type SysRes which holds a
system call result in a platform-neutral way.
Everywhere that previously an Int would have held a system call
result, there is now a SysRes in its place.
------------
Almost everything works on SuSE 9.1 (LinuxThreads) again. NPTL will
still be majorly broken; I will commit fixes shortly. AMD64 is also
totalled. I will get to that too.

into a new module m_tooliface. Pretty straightforward. Touches a lot
of files because many files use this interface and so need to include
the headers for the new module.
