with only one symbol. Instead, allow an address to have arbitrarily
many names. This reflects reality better, particularly for systemy
libraries such as glibc and ld.so, and is background work needed for
fixing #275284. This is not in itself a fix for #275284. A followup
commit to un-break compilation on OSX will follow shortly.

type STT_GNU_IFUNC which, instead of pointing directly at the
function, point at a routine which will return the address of
the real function. Redirection of indirect functions is handled
by valgrind as follows:
- When a redirection specification matches an indirect
function symbol an active redirection is added in the
normal way, but with the isIFunc flag set.
- When a call is made to an address which matches an
active redirection with the isIFunc flag set the call
is redirected, but not to the target address of the
redirection - instead it is sent to a small wrapper
routine that is preloaded into the client.
- The wrapper routine calls the original client routine
and collects the result, which it reports to valgrind
using a client request, and then returns the result to
the caller.
- When valgrind gets the client request it looks up the
active redirection for the indirect function and then
adds a new active redirection which redirects from the
address returned by the indirection function to the
redirection target. This new redirection does not have
the isIFunc flag set so behaves as a normal redirection.
In addition to the above we also add a few new redirections to
memcheck to capture internal calls made by glibc to things like
strlen, as these internal calls do not go through the indirect
function and instead go direct to the chosen implementation.
Based on a patch from Dodji Seketeli and comments from Jakub
Jelinek, this commit closes bug 206013.

* VG_(find_seginfo): incrementally rearrange the DebugInfo list, like
most of the other list-searching functions do.
* rename all VG_(*seginfo*) functions exported from m_debuginfo to
VG_(*DebugInfo*). "seginfo" was a historical name which was mostly
but not completely, done away with some time back.

'__libc_start_main', in Massif, m_debuginfo and m_stacktrace. As part of
this, --show-below-main is now visible to tools, and Massif pays attention
to it.
Improved the description of --show-below-main=yes in the manual.
Replaced some instances of "__libc_start_main" in the test *.exp files with
"(below main)", which is what will actually be seen. Also updated
scalar.stderr.exp*, which should make it get closer to actually passing.

that are memory offsets) with PtrdiffT; OffT should only be used for file
sizes and offsets.
Change Off64T from a ULong to a Long, as it should be. Replace some uses
of ULong in the address space manager with Off64T to match.
Also add a comment explaining the meanings of the basic types like Addr,
OffT, SizeT, etc.
Also fix the prototype for VG_(pread) -- the last arg is an OffT, not an
Int.

relatively minor extensions to m_debuginfo, a major overhaul of
m_debuginfo/readdwarf3.c to get its space usage under control, and
changes throughout the system to enable heap-use profiling.

The only interesting part is a change of signature of
VG_(get_filename_linenum) so that callers can optionally request
directory info too.
