97c113e7e0 valgrind and tool mon. cmds prefixes changes + doc fixes + new vgdb option
--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

62e0d0b316 More gdbserver test fixes, from #214909 c 101:
fix mcsig(no)pass on arm Ubuntu10, arm thumb internal doc, improve
simulate_control_c

* new file docs/internals/arm_thumb_notes_gdbserver.txt
  documentation about the subtilities of the thumb bit handling in gdbsrv.
* made the SIGFPE backtrace filtering less dependent on gdb/os/libc/...
* improved simulate_control_c : runs faster/less dependent on timeout value

b37b05d214 Improvements for testing and compilation breakage for the GDB server
on various platforms:

* In all gdbserver_tests using gdb:
  Made a more general way to remove the initial start message.

* tests using threads burning cpu modified to have only 1 thread.
  This makes them independent of the scheduler fairness.

* filter_gdb and filter_vgdb enhanced to anonymise
    some debian 6.0/ppc specific things
    some s390x/gdb 7.0, gdb 7.1  specific things

* vgdb.c: added an #include <linux/ptrace.h> to fix compilation
  on s390x fedora and suse. (Christian Boerntrager)

* fixed a bug in valgrind-low.c debug log :
  when a register size is 0, its image cannot be output (and register
  should not be transferred).

* added a parameter --keep-unfiltered to vg_regtest.in
  This will make it easier to update filter_gdb:
  in case gdbserver_tests are failing due to "artificial"
  differences to be filtered, re-run the tests using:
     perl tests/vg_regtest --keep-unfiltered gdbserver_tests
  Then a tar file with all the *.out in gdbserver_tests
  will allow me to better/faster update the filter_gdb.

* made a better detection of a working PTRACE_GETREGS at compile time
  and/or at run-time.

This is the patch on bug 214909 comment 69.
