on 32 bits memcheck default nr of sectors).
Memory is reduced by using UShort typedef-s for Sector no and TTE no.
Note that for TTE no, we had a mixture of UShort, UInt and Int used
depending on the place (a TTE no was in any case constrained to be an UShort).
The bss memory/startup space is also reduced by allocating the htt on demand
(like tt and tc), using mmap the first time a sector is initialised.
Changes:
* pub_core_transtab.h :
* 2 typedef to identify a sector and a tt entry (these 2 types are UShort)
* add 2 #define 'invalid values' for these types
* change the interface to use these types rather than UInt
* m_transtab.c
* use wherever relevant these 2 new types rather than UInt or UShort
* replace the use of -1 by INV_SNO or INV_TTE
* remove now useless typecast from Int/UInt to UShort for tte
* schedule.c: use the new types

This allows to decrease memory usage when using many threads,
if no big stacksize is needed by Valgrind.
If needed (e.g. for demangling big c++ symbols), the V stacksize
can be increased.

the dirname_available parameter. It's redundant. The value

The functions VG_(get_filename) and VG_(get_filename_lineno) now return
a pointer to filename and directory name instead of copying them into
buffers passed in from the caller.
The returned strings are persistent as long as the DebugInfo to which
they belong is not discarded. The caller therefore needs to stash them
away as needed.
Function VG_(strncpy_safely) has been removed as it is no longer needed.

board (instead of e.g. VG_(arena_malloc)(VG_AR_CORE,...). This change
also benefits static analysers. We can tell tools that VG_(malloc) allocates
and VG_(free) deallocates and that they are a pair. But we cannot do that for
arena_malloc/free.
Also provide a wrapper VG_(realloc_shrink).

At various places, there were either some assumption that the 'end'
boundary (highest address) was either not included, included,
or was the highest addressable word, or the highest addressable byte.
This e.g. was very visible when doing:
./vg-in-place -d -d ./helgrind/tests/tc01_simple_race|&grep regi
giving
--24040:2:stacks register 0xBEDB4000-0xBEDB4FFF as stack 0
--24040:2:stacks register 0x402C000-0x4A2C000 as stack 1
showing that the main stack end was (on x86) not the highest word
but the highest byte, while for the thread 1, the registered end
was a byte not part of the stack.
The attached patch ensures that stack bounds semantic are documented and
consistent. Also, some of the stack handling code is factorised.
The convention that the patch ensures and documents is:
start is the lowest addressable byte, end is the highest addressable byte.
(the words 'min' and 'max' have been kept when already used, as this wording is
consistent with the new semantic of start/end).
In various debug log, used brackets [ and ] to make clear that
both bounds are included.
The code to guess and register the client stack was duplicated
in all the platform specific syswrap-<plat>-<os>.c files.
Code has been factorised in syswrap-generic.c
The patch has been regression tested on
x86, amd64, ppc32/64, s390x.
It has been compiled and one test run on arm64.
Not compiled/not tested on darwin, android, mips32/64, arm
More in details, the patch does the following:
coregrind/pub_core_aspacemgr.h
include/valgrind.h
include/pub_tool_machine.h
coregrind/pub_core_scheduler.h
coregrind/pub_core_stacks.h
- document start/end semantic in various functions
also in pub_tool_machine.h:
- replaces unclear 'bottommost address' by 'lowest address'
(unclear as stack bottom is or at least can be interpreted as
the 'functional' bottom of the stack, which is the highest
address for 'stack growing downwards').
coregrind/pub_core_initimg.h
replace unclear clstack_top by clstack_end
coregrind/m_main.c
updated to clstack_end
coregrind/pub_core_threadstate.h
renamed client_stack_highest_word to client_stack_highest_byte
coregrind/m_scheduler/scheduler.c
computes client_stack_highest_byte as the highest addressable byte
Update comments in call to VG_(show_sched_status)
coregrind/m_machine.c
coregrind/m_stacktrace.c
updated to client_stack_highest_byte, and switched
stack_lowest/highest_word to stack_lowest/highest_byte accordingly
coregrind/m_stacks.c
clarify semantic of start/end,
added a comment to indicate why we invert start/end in register call
(note that the code find_stack_by_addr was already assuming that
end was included as the checks were doing e.g.
sp >= i->start && sp <= i->end
coregrind/pub_core_clientstate.h
coregrind/m_clientstate.c
renames Addr VG_(clstk_base) to Addr VG_(clstk_start_base)
(start to indicate it is the lowest address, base suffix kept
to indicate it is the initial lowest address).
coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-darwin.c
updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
updated clstack_max_size computation according to both bounds included.
coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-linux.c
updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
updated VG_(clstk_end) computation according to both bounds included.
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
coregrind/pub_core_aspacemgr.h
extern Addr VG_(am_startup) : clarify semantic of the returned value
coregrind/m_aspacemgr/aspacemgr-linux.c
removed a copy of a comment that was already in pub_core_aspacemgr.h
(avoid double maintenance)
renamed unclear suggested_clstack_top to suggested_clstack_end
(note that here, it looks like suggested_clstack_top was already
the last addressable byte)
* factorisation of the stack guessing and registration causes
mechanical changes in the following files:
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-ppc64-linux.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-x86-darwin.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-amd64-linux.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-arm-linux.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-generic.c

coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-s390x-linux.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-darwin.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-arm64-linux.c
Some files to look at more in details:
syswrap-darwin.c : the handling of sysctl(kern.usrstack) looked
buggy to me, and has probably be made correct by the fact that
VG_(clstk_end) is now the last addressable byte. However,unsure
about this, as I could not find any documentation about
sysctl(kern.usrstack). I only find several occurences on the web,
showing that the result of this is page aligned, which I guess
means it must be 1+ the last addressable byte.
syswrap-x86-darwin.c and syswrap-amd64-darwin.c
I suspect the code that was computing client_stack_highest_word
was wrong, and the patch makes it correct.
syswrap-mips64-linux.c
not sure what to do for this code. This is the only code
that was guessing the stack differently from others.
Kept (almost) untouched. To be discussed with mips maintainers.
coregrind/pub_core_libcassert.h
coregrind/m_libcassert.c
* void VG_(show_sched_status):
renamed Bool valgrind_stack_usage to Bool stack_usage
if stack_usage, shows both the valgrind stack usage and
the client stack boundaries
coregrind/m_scheduler/scheduler.c
coregrind/m_gdbserver/server.c
coregrind/m_gdbserver/remote-utils.c

glibc is recycling memory for detached threads before a thread
termination => disable the stack cache earlier (i.e. once
a 'non main thread' is seen)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@14329
Activating this hint using --sim-hints=no-nptl-pthread-stackcache
means the glibc nptl stack cache will be disabled.
Disabling this stack/tls cache avoids helgrind false positive race conditions
errors when using __thread variables.
Note: disabling the stack cache is done by a kludge, dependent on
internal knowledge of glibc code, and using libpthread debug info.
So, this kludge might be broken with newer glibc version.
This has been tested on various platforms and various
glibc versions 2.11, 2.16 and 2.18
To check if the disabling works, you can do:
valgrind --tool=helgrind --sim-hints=no-nptl-pthread-stackcache -d -v ./helgrind/tests/tls_threads |& grep kludge
If you see the below 2 lines, then hopefully the stack cache has been disabled.

to add PPC64 LE support. The other two patches can be found in Bugzillas
334834 and 334836. The commit does not have a VEX commit associated with it.
POWER PC, add initial Little Endian support
The IBM POWER processor now supports both Big Endian and Little Endian.
This patch renames the #defines with the name ppc64 to ppc64be for the BE
specific code. This patch adds the Little Endian #define ppc64le to the
Additionally, a few functions are renamed to remove BE from the name if the
function is used by BE and LE. Functions that are BE specific have BE put
in the name.
The goals of this patch is to make sure #defines, function names and
variables consistently use PPC64/ppc64 if it refers to BE and LE,
PPC64BE/ppc64be if it is specific to BE, PPC64LE/ppc64le if it is LE
specific. The patch does not break the code for PPC64 Big Endian.
The test files memcheck/tests/atomic_incs.c, tests/power_insn_available.c
and tests/power_insn_available.c are also updated to the new #define
definition for PPC64 BE.

making it easier to understand the memory and/or oom situation.
No functional (user level) change.
* For --profile-heap=yes, sort the cost centers by decreasing size,
so that the most relevant cost centers are closed to the arena
total.
* factorise duplicated code calling a series of print stat functions
* VG_(show_sched_status)
optionally show the host stacktrace
the amount of valgrind stack used by each thread
the exited threads
* various functions: update to add VG_(show_sched_status) new
args, keeping the same info production as before.
* In case of out of memory situation detected by m_mallocfree.c,
reports more information:
valgrind and tool stats
scheduler status (full information)
* gdbserver v.info scheduler :
show full information.
The oom behaviour/reporting was tested using a small
program causing an OOM, and having several threads
(some terminated, some still active).

In a big applications, some recursive algorithms have created
hundreds of thousands of stacktraces, taking a lot of memory.
Option --merge-recursive-frames=<number> tells Valgrind to
detect and merge (collapse) recursive calls when recording stack traces.
The value is changeable using the monitor command
'v.set merge-recursive-frames'.
Also, this provides a new client request: VALGRIND_MONITOR_COMMAND
allowing to execute a gdbsrv monitor command from the client
program.

--profile-flags=00000000 now prints summary statistics, one line per
profiled block, but with no translation details. Previously it had
no effect.
--profile-interval=<number> is a new flag that causes the profile data
to be dumped and zeroed every <number> event checks. This makes it
possible to get profile data without waiting for runs to end, and to
get profile data which depends on the current workload etc. If
--profile-interval=0 or is unset, the profile is printed only once, at
the end of the run, as before.
--profile-flags=XXXXXXXX (for at least one nonzero X) prints the
summary lines both at the start and end of the profile, so you don't
have to scroll back up to the top to see the summary.
