Callgrind, Cachegrind, and Lackey call
helpers for memory accesses in bunches, to reduce
register save/restore overhead (and merge load/store
within same instruction into a "modify" event).
The calls should not be done within a RMW section
enclosed by LL/SC instructions, as this reduces the
chance of SC to succeed, and can result in hangs.
For Callgrind, this definitly helped MIPS, and was
committed in r13136. Do the same for Cachegrind/Lackey.

There were some easy-to-resolve conflicts.
Then I had to fix up coregrind/link_tool_exe*.in -- those files had been
added independently on both the trunk and the branch, AFAICT. I just
overwrote the trunk versions with the branch versions.

executables. Gets rid of the linker script kludgery and uniformly
uses -Ttext=0x38000000 (or whatever) on Linux, so as to accomodate
both traditional ld and gold. Should fix#193413 although I have
been unable to test it. Using a whole new program seems like
overkill, but this is infrastructure to support static linking of
the tool executables on MacOS too.

- 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!
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@10721
- Made it count calls to main() by default, since _dl_runtime_resolve() no
longer appears to exist.
- A couple of other minor Lackey things.

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 branch adds proper support for atomic instructions, proper in the
sense that the atomicity is preserved through the compilation
pipeline, and thus in the instrumented code.
These changes track the IR changes added by vex r1901. They primarily
update the instrumentation functions in all tools to handle the
changes, with the exception of exp-ptrcheck, which needs some further
work in order to be able to run threaded code.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@10392
following improvements:
- Arch/OS/platform-specific files are now included/excluded via the
preprocessor, rather than via the build system. This is more consistent
(we use the pre-processor for small arch/OS/platform-specific chunks
within files) and makes the build system much simpler, as the sources for
all programs are the same on all platforms.
- Vast amounts of cut+paste Makefile.am code has been factored out. If a
new platform is implemented, you need to add 11 extra Makefile.am lines.
Previously it was over 100 lines.
- Vex has been autotoolised. Dependency checking now works in Vex (no more
incomplete builds). Parallel builds now also work. --with-vex no longer
works; it's little use and a pain to support. VEX/Makefile is still in
the Vex repository and gets overwritten at configure-time; it should
probably be renamed Makefile-gcc to avoid possible problems, such as
accidentally committing a generated Makefile. There's a bunch of hacky
copying to deal with the fact that autotools don't handle same-named files
in different directories. Julian plans to rename the files to avoid this
problem.
- Various small Makefile.am things have been made more standard automake
style, eg. the use of pkginclude/pkglib prefixes instead of rolling our
own.
- The existing five top-level Makefile.am include files have been
consolidated into three.
- Most Makefile.am files now are structured more clearly, with comment
headers separating sections, declarations relating to the same things next
to each other, better spacing and layout, etc.
- Removed the unused exp-ptrcheck/tests/x86 directory.
- Renamed some XML files.
- Factored out some duplicated dSYM handling code.
- Split auxprogs/ into auxprogs/ and mpi/, which allowed the resulting
Makefile.am files to be much more standard.
- Cleaned up m_coredump by merging a bunch of files that had been
overzealously separated.
The net result is 630 fewer lines of Makefile.am code, or 897 if you exclude
the added Makefile.vex.am, or 997 once the hacky file copying for Vex is
removed. And the build system is much simpler.

I tried using 'svn merge' to do the merge but it did a terrible job and
there were bazillions of conflicts. So instead I just took the diff between
the branch and trunk at r10155, applied the diff to the trunk, 'svn add'ed
the added files (no files needed to be 'svn remove'd) and committed.

Some of our option processing code uses it. This means that eg.
'--log-fd=9xxx' logs to fd 9, and '--log-fd=blahblahblah' logs to 0 (because
atoll() returns 0 if the string doesn't contain a number!)
It turns out that most of our option processing uses VG_(strtoll*) instead
of VG_(atoll). The reason that not all of it does is that the
option-processing macros are underpowered -- they currently work well if you
just want to assign the value to a variable, eg:
VG_BOOL_CLO(arg, "--heap", clo_heap)
else VG_BOOL_CLO(arg, "--stacks", clo_stacks)
else VG_NUM_CLO(arg, "--heap-admin", clo_heap_admin)
else VG_NUM_CLO(arg, "--depth", clo_depth)
(This works because they are actually an if-statement, but it looks odd.)
VG_NUM_CLO uses VG_(stroll10). But if you want to do any checking or
processing, you can't use those macros, leading to code like this:
else if (VG_CLO_STREQN(9, arg, "--log-fd=")) {
log_to = VgLogTo_Fd;
VG_(clo_log_name) = NULL;
tmp_log_fd = (Int)VG_(atoll)(&arg[9]);
}
So this commit:
- Improves the *_CLO_* macros so that they can be used in all circumstances.
They're now just expressions (albeit ones with side-effects, setting the
named variable appropriately). Thus they can be used as if-conditions,
and any post-checking or processing can occur in the then-statement. And
malformed numeric arguments (eg. --log-fd=foo) aren't accepted. This also
means you don't have to specify the lengths of any option strings anywhere
(eg. the 9 in the --log-fd example above). The use of a wrong number
caused at least one bug, in Massif.
- Updates all places where the macros were used.
- Updates Helgrind to use the *_CLO_* macros (it didn't use them).
- Updates Callgrind to use the *_CLO_* macros (it didn't use them), except
for the more esoteric option names (those with numbers in the option
name). This allowed getUInt() and getUWord() to be removed.
- Improves the cache option parsing in Cachegrind and Callgrind -- now uses
VG_(strtoll10)(), detects overflow, and is shorter.
- Uses INT instead of NUM in the macro names, to distinguish better vs. the
DBL macro.
- Removes VG_(atoll*) and the few remaining uses -- they're wretched
functions and VG_(strtoll*) should be used instead.
- Adds the VG_STREQN macro.
- Changes VG_BINT_CLO and VG_BHEX_CLO to abort if the given value is outside
the range -- the current silent truncation is likely to cause confusion as
much as anything.

clearer what they mean:
- They all have VGCONF_ prefixes now, to indicate they come out of
configure.in (and are clearly distinguished from the VGA_/VGO_/VGP_
#defines passed in to C files).
- The ones that refer to the primary *or* secondary platform have _INCLUDES_
in them.
- The ones that are in all-caps have a _CAPS suffix.
So, for example, what was VGP_X86_LINUX is now
VGCONF_PLATFORMS_INCLUDE_X86_LINUX, which is more verbose but also a lot
clearer. The names of the #defines used in the C files (VGA_x86, VGO_linux,
etc) are unchanged.
cputest.c: changed to reflect the Valgrind installation's capabilities,
rather than the machine's capabilities. In particular, if
--enable-only32bit is used on a 64-bit machine, then this program will claim
to only support 32-bits. Also use the VGA/VGO/VGP macros which are clearer
than the __i386__ ones. (This is partially merged from the DARWIN branch.)
configure.in: clean up the comments, distinguish different sections more
clearly, and generally make it more readable.
valgrind.pc.in: try to make this more accurate. I doubt anyone's using it.
It doesn't appear to be set up to handle dual-architecture builds.

Makefile.am changes for AIX5. Almost all boilerplate stuff fitting in
with the existing factorisation scheme. The only change of interest
is that configure.in now generates automake symbols of name
VGP_platform and VGO_os, whereas previously it just made VG_platform
which was a bit inconsistent with the VGP/VGO/VGA scheme used in C
code.
