If valgrind is started with --vgdb-prefix arg, then callgrind_control
cannot find and control this valgrind.
So, add an (optional) argument to callgrind_control,
and have callgrind tool report the needed vgdb prefix argument
if the user supplied this arg.

Bug found by, and fix based on a patch by Mark Wielaard
Callgrind format specification was inconsistent with
what Callgrind generates, and what callgrind_annotate
accepted. Now, callgrind_annotate accepts the examples
in the format specification.
* Callgrind writes 'cfi=' lines for when a call target goes
into another source file. According to the spec, 'cfl=' is
used for this. Change the spec to allow both, and change
callgrind_annotate to accept both.
* The spec requires just an "events:" line as minimum header
to render the file as correct according to the specification.
callgrind_annotate also expected a 'cmd=' line. Fixed.
* The 'summary:' line is optional in the spec. Fixed in
callgrind_annotate. If not provided, summary is calculated
from all cost lines.

The vgdb "status" monitor command is still available, but
used for pretty printing of status information now (acutally,
just some place holder for real information up to now: just
number of running threads). The internal interface used by
callgrind_control to provide stack traces and event counts
is using "status internal", and is not documented, as the
format is not for human consumption.
This also adds some documentation.

--cmd-time-out
* changed prefixes of Valgrind core monitor commands from vg. to v.
* removed prefixes of Tool monitor commands
* memcheck leak_check 'leakpossible' arg renamed to 'possibleleak'
* memcheck make_memory 'ifaddressabledefined' arg renamed to
'Definedifaddressable'
(with uppercase D to avoid confusion with 'defined' arg).
* vgdb options
- Some doc updates : more logical option order documentation,
specify 'standalone' for options aimed at standalone usage.
- added option --cmd-time-out for standalone vgdb
(comment of Josef Weindendorfer, needed to interface with a callgrind GUI)
* updated tests according to the above.
* updated documentation according to the above.
* some additional minor doc fixes/clarifications

of the L2 cache. This is to accommodate machines with three levels of
cache. We still only simulate two levels, the first and the last.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@11404
Callgrind now uses Cachegrind's command line option to switch
on simulation: "--branch-sim=yes/no" for branch prediction,
and "--cache-sim=yes/no" for cache simulation (for more
consistency and to avoid confusion). However, the previously
used "--simulate-cache=yes/no" still is supported but deprecated.
Included: according documentation and tests.

To count global bus lock events, use "--collect-bus=yes".
For x86, this will count the number of executed instructions
with a lock prefix; for architectures with LL/SC, this will
count the number of executed SC instructions.

Get rid of "-v" as short form of "--version".
Also, help text for dumps/instrumentation shows only the long
versions now. However, '-i on' or '-d dump now!' is still possible.

a manpage, and they're so simple I can't be bothered doing ones for them
(they don't even have sections in the manual).
Also fixed a few minor things relating to manpages.

and created man pages for them. Renamed the XML files in the process for
consistency.
- Inlined cg-entities.xml into vg-entities.xml.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@10742
- Actually remove the dead docs/images/massif*.png files (this was meant to
happen in r10720).
- Inline $TOOL/docs/Makefile.am into $TOOL/Makefile.am for all 10 tools. 10
fewer Makefile.am files FTW!

line options. This commit changes them to all <option>.
Also make consistent how options with multiple names (eg. -h --help) are
shown.
Also, remove section describing --help and --version in Callgrind's chapter;
these aren't necessary and are presumably a hangover from when Callgrind was
a separate tool.

- There were detailed descriptions of all the tools in the Quick Start
Guide, the Manual introduction, and the start of each tool chapter. To
avoid duplication/overlap, I removed these altogether from the Quick Start
Guide, and shortened them in the intro.
- Improved the description of what errors Memcheck can find.
- Made all tool chapters start with "Overview" section, for consistency.
- Made the "run with --tool=XXX" bit consistent in each tool chapter.
- Made all tool chapter titles match the description given when running them.
- Added BBV to the User Manual intro.
- Generally clarified, updated, and future-proofed various bits of text in
the Quick Start Guide and User Manual introduction.
Also:
- Changed Nulgrind's start-up description to "the minimal Valgrind tool".
- Fixed some punctuation in the usage message.

This obviously was already wrong in 3.2.x :-(
* Old --fn-recursion=... / --fn-caller=... options are called
--separate-recs=... / --separate-callers=... since quite some
time for consistency with e.g. --separate-threads=yes.
Error noted from bug 153335.
* Function specifications support wildcards since quite some time;
specification of a prefix only does not work, but the full
function has to match. This was needed to allow to specify 'foo'
without also specifying 'foo1'.
* The script 'callgrind' does not exist since merging into
valgrind.
* Rename callgrind from being a 'heavyweight' to a 'call graph'
profiler, similar to the description in the quick start overview.

This hopefully makes the whole issue with cycles easier to understand.
And no, this does not get rid of the description of cycles, carefully
crafted by Julian ;-)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@6747
* Looks a little bit more like the Cachegrind manual
(at least in front)
* Removed the out-of-place general section about profiling
and gprof. Perhaps something like this can be put at
another place
* Notes about Callgrinds problems with call tracing on PPC
* Include usage of callgrind_annotate, and note its lack of
cycle detection
