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.

choosing the longest symbol, choose the longest ignoring any of the libc
junk prefixes like __libc_, __, __GI_*, etc. This makes the symbol
presented to the user in messages and used in *.supp files more consistent
and comprehensible.

300k average bbs. Programs on the size of OOo (680m17) are thrashing the
cache at the smaller size, creating large numbers of retranslations and
wasting significant time as a result.

how autoconf/automake really work, but not me :-) What's the difference
between $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) (eg in coregrind/Makefile.am) ?

in it, much of it from 1.0.X days. Did it in such a way that if it doesn't get
touched (and it undoubtedly won't) it won't really go out of date, eg. by
removing temporary details like version numbers, dates, details of specific
software incompatibilities. It's much better to be vague but correct, than
precise but incorrect; having incorrect info in a file as important as the
README is bad. Also removed the README_KDE3_FOLKS file because it's pretty
redundant now. Also added some changes that had been made in the stable branch
but not the HEAD.
Did similar, but smaller changes to README_DEVELOPERS and README_PACKAGERS.
Also updated the valgrind.spec.in file to use the new, post-1.0.X description
in the README.
Also fixed a minor omission in Addrcheck's docs.

This patch extends the SFENCE support that is already present to include
support for LFENCE and MFENCE as well. It also stops CLFLUSH being mistaken
for SFENCE by checking the top two bits of the MODRM byte.

they rely on this area being unmapped for their quick sanity check. This
commit make Valgrind refuse to mmap() this area. Added a regtest for it.

so much so that the file is now 280 lines shorter. This despite me also adding
support for LOOP{E,NE} (thanks to Abhijit Menon-Sen). Also added support for
CMPS[lw], which was missing. Adding more REP-prefix instructions in the future
will now be much easier.
As part of this, I moved the D-flag fetch outside of the REP loops. This might
make programs that use REP prefixes a lot go faster.
