namespace pollution.
Also broadened a couple of _dl_* suppressions so that vgtest_ume
passes on my machine.

- Broke part of m_scheduler off into a new module m_threadstate. It
contains ThreadState, VG_(threads)[] and some basic operations on the
thread table. All simple stuff, the complex stuff stays in m_scheduler.
This avoids lots of circular dependencies between m_scheduler and other
modules.
- Managed to finally remove core.h and tool.h, double hurrah!
- Introduced pub_tool_basics.h and pub_core_basics.h, one of which is
include by every single C file.
- Lots of little cleanups and changes related to the above.
- I even did a small amount of documentation updating.

an exact address (idea from Paul Mackerras' PPC port). Thus it could be
moved into coregrind/Makefile.am.
Let me know if this breaks anything on other platforms.

- Renamed VG_INTERCEPT as VG_REPLACE_FUNCTION to make its purpose
clearer.
- Renamed VG_WRAPPER as VG_NOTIFY_ON_LOAD to make its purpose cleare.
Started calling that stuff "load notification".
- Moved various things into m_redir.c, a much more sensible place for
them. This reduced the number of exported functions overall. Renamed
intercept_demangle() as Z_decode() as part of this.
- Improved the documentation of this stuff, especially in
pub_core_redir.c.
- Got --run-libc-freeres=yes working again. It was doing nothing.
- Renamed vg_inject.so as vg_preload_core.so to match
vg_preload_<tool>.so
- Renamed vg_intercept.c as vg_preloaded.c. (I kept the "vg_" prefix
because this filename can appear in stack traces, so the "vg_" is a
useful hint for users that it belongs to Valgrind.)
- Removed all the Memcheck-specific calls to add_redirect_sym_to_sym()
from VG_(setup_redirect_table)(), instead using VG_REPLACE_FUNCTION in
mac_replace_strmem.c, just like vg_replace_malloc.c. This is the
right way to do it. This required moving some of
coregrind/pub_core_redir.h into the newly added
include/pub_tool_redir.h. add_redirect_sym_to_sym() is no longer
used...
- Now only handing off symbols to m_redir for inspection/decoding after
they have been deemed to be interesting by the symbol table reader.
- Factored out commonality between the add_redirect_*_to_* functions
into add_redirect_X_to_X().
- Added "Zh", meaning '-' ('h' for "hyphen"), to the Z-decoding scheme,
to handle sonames like "ld-linux-x86-64.so.2".
- Added a FAQ explaining the newly found issue of glibc aliasing
sometimes causing the wrong function name to appear in stack traces.
- Added a new regtest strchr.c. It's possible this will fail on some
platforms. If so, an alternative output file can be provided, but
I'd like to see it in practice first.
It's possible that there will be minor breakage on other
platforms/setups, but it should be minimal and easily fixable.
Plus some ordinary cleanups in symtab.c:
- Removed the old optimisation from VG_(addStr)() whereby it kept track
of the previous 5 added strings and avoiding duplicating any of them.
Turns out it was barely having any effect any more, and just
complicated things.
- Made read_symtab() more readable, by introducing a new variable
"sym_name" and introducing the auxiliary function
is_symbol_interesting().
- renamed the module variable 'segInfo' as 'segInfo_list' to make it
more obvious it's a module variable and not just some ordinary local
variable (which was an easy mistake to make).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
XXX: [later] remove add_redirect_sym_to_sym, and everything related to
X_to_sym? (ie. only need X_to_addr)
XXX: better function names? all those 'resolved' names...

to check that the threading library hadn't messed up errno. Now that
doesn't make much sense any more. Anyway, now it annoyingly fails due
to memcheck reporting bugs in libpthread et al. Move it to corecheck
so at least it can continue to run and hopefully not continually fail.

corecheck/tests and there is no point in duplicating it. Given that
it was intended to check the behaviour of our now-defunct pthread
implementation there's not much point in keeping it at all.

overhaul of the thread support. Many things are now probably broken,
but at least with --tool=none, simple and not-so-simple threaded and
non-thread programs work.

which list all the arches/OSes/platforms supported. These are used by
several newly added DIST_SUBDIRS automake commands, which specify that
although when you are building you only want to build for the current
arch/OS/platform, when you do 'make dist' you want every
arch/OS/platform to get included.

While doing so, fixed bug #93328, by using the right sized types in
sigprocmask(), and converting them as necessary. Added a regression test for
it too.

- All memory-related errors are now clear whether they are caused by
unaddressable or uninitialised memory. (Previously, writes were
clearly addressability errors, but reads could be either.) Mostly
done by replacing the 'isWrite' field in MAC_Error with 'isUnaddr'.
Also, mc_check_readable() now indicates not just if an error occurred,
but what kind of error (ie. addressability or definedness).
- Put machinery into place in the core to inform tools when registers
are being read by the core -- ie. a 'pre_reg_read' event. Most
notably, this facilitates syscall scalar arg definedness checking for
Memcheck. Currently this is only working for read(), write(), exit()
and exit_group(), but it will be extended as the syscalls are
overhauled as part of the arch-abstraction work.
A consequence of this is that the ParamErr messages have changed. This:
Syscall param write(buf) contains uninitialised byte(s)
now means that the pointer 'buf' is partially undefined. If the memory
pointed to by 'buf' is partially undefined or unaddressable, it says one of:
Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised byte(s)
Syscall param write(buf) points to unaddressable byte(s)
The docs have been updated accordingly.
I also added a couple of regression tests.
These two change sare notable for being the first improvements to
Memcheck's checking/errors in a long time.
I also folded mc_clientreqs.c into mc_main.c, which saves exporting a
whole bunch of things that are not used anywhere else.

of using an assembly hack to find the stack pointer at startup, we find it from
argv. It's much simpler, avoids linking games, is platform independent, and
works on PPC.

Valgrind itself (the files ume.c, ume_entry.c and jmp_with_stack.c). Thus,
we are using Memcheck to check these files in a unit test setting.
I hope to do unit self-testing for many more parts of Valgrind, eventually all
the bits that can be pulled out into any kind of sensible stand-alone form.
Doing so achieves two things:
a) it introduces unit testing into our framework (a serious shortcoming at the
moment)
b) it lets us use Valgrind (esp. Memcheck) on itself, to some extent
This should help reliability. This first unit self-test isn't very exhaustive,
but it's a start.
Note that this involves something like bootstrapping, in that we are checking
parts of a Valgrind build with itself. I don't think this will be a problem,
since we (at least, I do) tend to only run the regtests when we think the
Valgrind build is ok.

signal handler present -- previously, Valgrind would abort unnecessarily on
this case.
Added a regression test for it.
