On Solaris and Linux, mmap() is an optimized function without
prologue and epilogue. However, Solaris libc does not currently
bear any DWARF CFI. Therefore stack chain unwinder grabs only
two entries: IP inside mmap() and return address from the previous
frame which points inside _start(), right after where main()
is invoked. By introducing an intermediate function f(), main()
is now visible in the stack trace even on Solaris.

Add a deep-D test .exp values for ppc64.
Depending on the system and the systems endianness, there are variances
in the library reference, and to the specific line number in the library.
I was able to add and modify existing filters to cover most of the variations,
but did need to add a .exp to cover the additional call stack entry as seen
on power.
This change allows the ppc64 targets to pass the massif/deep-D test.

VG_(debugLog_vprintf).
Remove function VG_(percentify) and fix up its call sites (part of
fixing BZ #337869.
Allow the width in a format specification to be '*', i.e. the width is
given as an additional function argument.
The limitations for printing floating point numbers are:
(1) %f is the only supported format. Width and precision can be
specified.
(2) Funny numbers (NaN and such) are not supported.
(3) Floating point numbers need to be benign in the sense that their
integral part fits into an ULong.
This is good enough for our purposes.

Assorted fixes in exp-bbv to eliminate a few buffers.
Implement a suggestion found in the massif source, namely to add the
equivalent of fprintf to m_libcprint. Good suggestion. Thusly
- VgFile: similar to FILE; buffered output, 8k buffer
- VG_(fopen): similar to fopen, but with arguments as in VG_(open)
- VG_(fprintf) and VG_(vfprintf): like [v]fprintf with VgFile 1at argument
- VG_(fclose)

This patch changes the interface and behaviour of VG_(demangle) and
VG_(maybe_Z_demangle). Instead of copying the demangled name into a
fixed sized buffer that is passed in from the caller (HChar *buf, Int n_buf),
the demangling functions will now return a pointer to the full-length
demangled name (HChar **result). It is the caller's responsiblilty to
make a copy if needed.
This change in function parameters ripples upward
- first: to get_sym_name
- then to the convenience wrappers
- VG_(get_fnname)
- VG_(get_fnname_w_offset)
- VG_(get_fnname_if_entry)
- VG_(get_fnname_raw)
- VG_(get_fnname_no_cxx_demangle)
- VG_(get_datasym_and_offset)
The changes in foComplete then forces the arguments of
- VG_(get_objname) to be changed as well
There are some issues regarding the ownership and persistence of
character strings to consider.
In general, the returned character string is owned by "somebody else"
which means the caller must not free it. Also, the caller must not
modify the returned string as it possibly points to read only memory.
Additionally, the returned string is not necessarily persistent. Here are
the scenarios:
- the returned string is a demangled function name in which case the
memory holding the string will be freed when the demangler is called again.
- the returned string hangs off of a DebugInfo structure in which case
it will be freed when the DebugInfo is discarded
- the returned string hangs off of a segment in the address space manager
in which case it may be overwritten when the segment is merged with
another segment
So the rule of thunb here is: if in doubt strdup the string.

as opposed to the valgrind code proper. In particular, make sure that
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 does not get used for the preload shared
objects, since that can cause the stack to become misaligned and leads
to segfaults. Modified version of a patch from Matthias Schwarzott
(zzam@gentoo.org). Fixes#324050.
Also, fix the configure check in configure.ac for
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 so that it checks whether this is
allowable for 32-bit code generation even on 64-bit (x86) hosts. This
check was wrong before now and led to 32-bit builds on 64-bit hosts
generating poorer code for speed critical helper functions (eg
helperc_LOADV32le) than on 32-bit builds on 32-bit hosts.

showing inlined function calls.
See 278972 valgrind stacktraces and suppression do not handle inlined function call debuginfo
Reading the inlined dwarf call info is activated using the new clo
--read-inline-info=yes
Default is currently no but an objective is to optimise the performance
and memory in order to possibly set it on by default.
(see below discussion about performances).
Basically, the patch provides the following pieces:
1. Implement a new dwarf3 reader that reads the inlined call info
2. Some performance improvements done for this new parser, and
on some common code between the new parser and the var info parser.
3. Use the parsed inlined info to produce stacktrace showing inlined calls
4. Use the parsed inlined info in the suppression matching and suppression generation
5. and of course, some reg tests
1. new dwarf3 reader:
---------------------
Two options were possible: add the reading of the inlined info
in the current var info dwarf reader, or add a 2nd reader.
The 2nd approach was preferred, for the following reasons:
The var info reader is slow, memory hungry and quite complex.
Having a separate parsing phase for the inlined information
is simpler/faster when just reading the inlined info.
Possibly, a single parser would be faster when using both
--read-var-info=yes and --read-inline-info=yes.
However, var-info being extremely memory/cpu hungry, it is unlikely
to be used often, and having a separate parsing for inlined info
does in any case make not much difference.
(--read-var-info=yes is also now less interesting thanks to commit
r13991, which provides a fast and low memory "reasonable" location
for an address).
The inlined info parser reads the dwarf info to make calls
to priv_storage.h ML_(addInlInfo).
2. performance optimisations
----------------------------
* the abbrev cache has been improved in revision r14035.
* The new parser skips the non interesting DIEs
(the var-info parser has no logic to skip uninteresting DIEs).
* Some other minor perf optimisation here and there.
In total now, on a big executable, 15 seconds CPU are needed to
create the inlined info (on my slow x86 pentium).
With regards to memory, the dinfo arena:
with inlined info: 172281856/121085952 max/curr mmap'd
without : 157892608/106721280 max/curr mmap'd,
So, basically, inlined information costs about 15Mb of memory for
my big executable (compared to first version of the patch, this is
already using less memory, thanks to the strpool deduppoolalloc.
The needed memory can probably be decreased somewhat more.
3. produce better stack traces
------------------------------
VG_(describe_IP) has a new argument InlIPCursor *iipc which allows
to describe inlined function calls by doing repetitive calls
to describe_IP. See pub_tool_debuginfo.h for a description.
4. suppression generation and matching
--------------------------------------
* suppression generation now also uses an InlIPCursor *iipc
to generate a line for each inlined fn call.
* suppression matching: to allow suppression matching to
match one IP to several function calls in a suppression entry,
the 'inputCompleter' object (that allows to lazily generate
function or object names for a stacktrace when matching
an error with a suppression) has been generalised a little bit
more to also lazily generate the input sequence.
VG_(generic_match) has been updated so as to be more generic
with respect to the input completer : when providing an
input completer, VG_(generic_match) does not need anymore
to produce/compute any input itself : this is all delegated
to the input completer.
5. various regtests
-------------------
to test stack traces with inlined calls, and suppressions
of (some of) these errors using inlined fn calls matching.
Work still to do:
-----------------
* improve parsing performance
* improve the memory overhead.
* handling the directory name for files of the inlined function calls is not yet done.
(probably implies to refactor some code)
* see if m_errormgr.c *offsets arrays cannot be managed via xarray

Massif does not accept to take snapshots of heap before execution has started.

Option sp-at-mem-access can be used by tools which do not
need an up to date BP and IP at each mem access.
It is needed however to have SP up to date at each memory
access, as an up to date SP is needed to grow the stack in
m_signals.c
Tools massif, cachegrind and callgrind are using sp-at-mem-access
as default.
None tool could also use sp-at-mem-access but default is kept
to unwindregs-at-mem-access (similar to memcheck, drd, helgrind, exp-sgcheck).
exp-dhat, exp-bbv, lackey have not been looked at to see if they
could make use of sp-at-mem-access.
