All assembler files have also had a declaration added so that the

that when the client is killed by a coredumping signal, Valgrind will
generate the coredump itself, which is full of client state, rather than
Valgrind state; this core file will therefore be useful to the developer
in debugging their program.
The corefile generated is named vgcore.pidNNNNN (and maybe with .M on
the end in case of duplicates). If you set a logfile with --logfile,
then this name will be used as the basename for the core file, so that
both the core and the logs will be next to each other.
Valgrind respects the RLIMIT_CORE limit when generating the file; if the
limit is set to 0, then it will not generate one.

segment to be moved up to stage2's brk segment. Instead, Valgrind's
use of brk is simulated with mmap. In order to prevent any unwanted use
of the process brk segment, it also sets the RLIMIT_DATA to 0, which will
make brk always fail. glibc's malloc will use mmap to allocate if brk
fails. We try to intercept glibc's brk, but malloc seems to always use the
library-internal version. (The client's use of brk has always been simulated,
and is unaffected by this change.)

no longer exists. One advantage of this is that global
variables/structures needed for communicating between the two can be made
local. Also, the order in which things happen has been simplified.
This is mostly just a big refactoring. Startup is now a fair bit easier to
understand. Dependencies between the various startup stages are fairly well
documented in comments. Also, --help and --version now work properly --
eg. --help gives tool-specific help if --tool was specified. There is still
some parts where things could be reordered and/or simplified, and where the
dependencies aren't clear. These are marked with 'XXX'.
One new feature was added: ability to read options from ~/.valgrindrc and
./.valgrindrc. Part of this is support for specifying tool-specific options
in the form --toolname:tool-specific-option.

Patch to improve SSE/SS2 support
This patch should implement most of the missing SSE/SSE2 opcodes. About
the only ones it doesn't do are the MASKMOVxxx ones as they are quite
horrible and involved an implicit reference to EDI so I need to think
about them a bit more.
The patch also includes a set of tests for the MMX/SSE/SSE2 opcodes to
validate that they have the same effect under valgrind as they do when
run normally. In one or two cases this wasn't actually the case even
for some of the implemented opcodes, so I fixed those as well ;-)

Valgrind's dependency on the dynamic linker for getting started, and
instead takes things into its own hands.
This checkin doesn't add much in the way of new functionality, but it
is the basis for all future work on Valgrind. It allows us much more
flexibility in implementation, and well as increasing the reliability
of Valgrind by protecting it more from its clients.
This patch requires some changes to tools to update them to the changes
in the tool API, but they are straightforward. See the posting "Heads
up: Full Virtualization" on valgrind-developers for a more complete
description of this change and its effects on you.

If the proxyLWP for a thread got a signal just as we were sending the
syscall request to it, then we would end up running the syscall twice.
The fix is to not check the results pipe while sending the syscall request
- wait until we're in a better state for handling signals (the deadlock
the results-read was supposed to avoid cannot actually happen).
Related to that, if we're delivering a signal to a thread, and that thread
is currently waiting for a syscall to complete, make sure we collect the
syscall results before entering the signal handler (otherwise we may end
up bogusly trying to restart the syscall by moving EIP back, even though
it now points to the signal handler rather than the syscall instruction)
This change also adds an assertion to VG_(restart_syscall) to make sure
we were actually restarting a syscall and not just randomly changing EIP
(this found the problem above).
Also, make set/getitimer run in the proxyLWP context, so that they
modify/read the proxyLWP's timers rather than the schedluer LWP's timers.

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
