line with the DWARF3 spec and also with binutils/readelf.c:
- Update some comments
- Get rid of kludge_then_addDiCfSI; apparently no longer needed
- Pass the SegInfo's text_bias around in the AddressDecodingInfo,
so that ...
- read_encoded_Addr can set 'base' to the text_bias when handling
DW_EH_PE_absptr. This is the central change of this commit and
appears (to me) to be what DWARF3 requires. (The spec is less
than clear ..)
- don't use read_encoded_Addr to read the FDE arange field since
read_encoded_Addr's adding-on of a 'base' value is meaningless
here - the arange is not an address, but a value saying how many
bytes the FDE covers. Instead just read a little-endian value of
the right size. This is in accordance with DWARF3 and with
readelf.c. Add new function read_le_encoded_literal to make
this possible.
I believe this is all correct, and it's certainly much better than it
was. But given that the DWARF3 spec isn't as formal as it should be,
it's hard to be sure.

mostly by a lot of comparison of this code vs that of
binutils-2.17/binutils/dwarf.c vs the relevant specs.

Implement GNU binutils 'readelf' style output for --debug-dump=lines
(fully) and --debug-dump=frames (partially).
Initial testing with --debug-dump=lines shows our DWARF2 line number
reader behaves identically to readelf for all examples I tried so far.

hex numbers: %x produces lowercase hex, and %X produces uppercase.
Unfortunately this probably changes the output in dozens of places.

reading. Two sets of changes:
* New flags for debugging the readers.
--debug-dump=syms
--debug-dump=line
--debug-dump=frames
These (currently accepted but nonfunctional) are intended to
create output in the style of (that is, identical to)
/usr/bin/readelf --syms
/usr/bin/readelf --debug-dump=line
/usr/bin/readelf --debug-dump=frames
respectively. The plan is that flaws in these readers can then
be easily found by diff-ing the output against that from readelf.
Also, a new flag --trace-symtab-patt=<object filename pattern>
which is used to limit all debuginfo-related debug info to the
set of shared object names matching the given pattern. This
facilitates extracting the debuginfo details of one specific
shared object, which is usually what is required, rather than
having to wade through megabytes of junk from every object in
the process.
* Propagate the avma/svma/image address-naming scheme
(as described at the top of debuginfo.c) through large parts of
readelf.c and readdwarf.c.

more cache friendly. This changes the mechanism from being a table of
pointers to (guest address, translated code pairs) to being a table of
pairs (guest address, pointer to translated code). The effect ranges
from zero up to about 20% performance improvement on memcheck, the
biggest effects being seen for programs which jump around a large
number of blocks of code and whose data set does not fit in L2.

was calling VG_(memcpy) a huge number of times, and to callgrind for
finding out who :-)

precisely the name of the profile data file it should use (instead of
assuming cachegrind.out.<pid> where <pid> is specified by the --<pid>
flag). The old mechanism is still supported though.

basename to be something other than "cachegrind.out".
* Observe the core-supplied --log-file-qualifier, if specified,
in creation of output file names.
* To make the above work, move most of the stuff in cg_pre_clo_init
into cg_post_clo_init, so that the core's determination of the
log file qualifier, if any, is done by the time cachegrind comes
to process its arguments.
