Two things:
- remove the buffer argument from VG_(DebugInfo_sect_kind)
- allocate AddrInfo::SectKind::objname dynamically

* This option can be used to mark the begin/end of errors in textual
output mode, to facilitate searching/extracting errors in output files
mixing valgrind errors with program output.
* Use the new option in various existing regtests to test the various
possible usage.

(a) the 2nd argument must not be NULL
This was true anyhow and requiring it allows us to simplify the function
by eliminating the local buffer.
(b) the memory pointed to by the 2nd argument is always initialised
In the past the output file name was not initialised in case VG_(open)
failed 10 times in a row. The call sites in m_main.c and m_gdbserver/target.c
were reading the uninitialised filename unconditionally. This was spotted
by IBM's BEAM checker.
Fix call sites, eliminate some magic constants along the way.

Bug is not really fixed, instead the SHM_HUGETLB flag is ignored.
Note that it is not straightforward to properly fix this,
as this implies either to learn aspacemgr what huge pages are.
Also, the trick used in the fix for 333051 cannot be used easily,
because the SHM_HUGETLB flag is given in shmget, while the mmap
is done in shmat.
So, the easiest is to just ignore the SHM_HUGETLB flag.
SHM_HUGETLB is supposed to only give a performance impact.
Ignoring it should be benign.
Theoretically, the caller might expect a sucessful shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)+shmat
to give pages aligned on e.g. 1MB.
In this case, bad luck, the program will misbehave under valgrind.
To warn of this, a warning is given (once) when SHM_HUGETLB is seen.
The map_unmap.c test has been restructured somewaht to allow
TEST_SHM_HUGETLB to be tested independently (or not) of the TEST_MAP_HUGETLB.
Note also that by default, testing MAP_HUGETLB and SHM_HUGETLB
is disabled as usually, huge pages are not enabled.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@14683
Learning aspacemgr to handle huge page is too difficult.
So, huge page requests that fails due to bad advice by aspacemgr
will (we hope) succeed if a mmap retry is done with the kernel,
without any constraints.

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)
Change massif, exp-bbv and cachegrind to use this functionality.

Patch from Miroslav Franc (mfranc@redhat.com)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@14677
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.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@14668
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.

memory-map resync operations. Without the filter, such operations
come to dominate the running time of complex apps with thousands of
memory segments (eg Firefox) and it becomes unusably slow. With
the filter in place, the huge performance loss is mostly avoided.
Has no meaning and no effect on non-Darwin targets. Controlled by
flag --resync-filter=no|yes|verbose [yes]. Filter is currently only
set up for Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) 64 bit and will not produce
any performance benefit on any other configuration.
