Valgrind was crashing systematically on Android 4.1.
This crash is caused by AT_IGNORE-ing AT_BASE.
This AT_IGNORE was needed to have breakpoints in shared libs
be handled properly (not very clear what is the problem
in the interaction between Valgrind GDBSERVER, AT_BASE and GDB).
Waiting to better understand all this, as a temporary bypass,
this patch ensures we do not ignore the AT_BASE on android.
The possible consequence is that breakpoints might be inserted
by the Valgrind gdbserver at wrong addresses in shared lib.
(any feedback on that is welcome).
Valgrind was build and then "proved" to work on Android emulator 4.0
and emulator 4.1, by using memcheck on one executable.

Allow Valgrind to run on android emulator.
+ added README.android_emulator giving some details about versions used.

__builtin_setjmp and __builtin_longjmp so that they can be selectively
replaced, on a platform by platform basis. Does not change any
functionality. Related to #259977.

AUXV at startup, rather than by trying to execute a Neon instruction
and seeing whether it SIGILLs. Apparently the latter is not a
reliable way to ascertain the presence of usable Neon support. Fixes
#249775.

following improvements:
- Arch/OS/platform-specific files are now included/excluded via the
preprocessor, rather than via the build system. This is more consistent
(we use the pre-processor for small arch/OS/platform-specific chunks
within files) and makes the build system much simpler, as the sources for
all programs are the same on all platforms.
- Vast amounts of cut+paste Makefile.am code has been factored out. If a
new platform is implemented, you need to add 11 extra Makefile.am lines.
Previously it was over 100 lines.
- Vex has been autotoolised. Dependency checking now works in Vex (no more
incomplete builds). Parallel builds now also work. --with-vex no longer
works; it's little use and a pain to support. VEX/Makefile is still in
the Vex repository and gets overwritten at configure-time; it should
probably be renamed Makefile-gcc to avoid possible problems, such as
accidentally committing a generated Makefile. There's a bunch of hacky
copying to deal with the fact that autotools don't handle same-named files
in different directories. Julian plans to rename the files to avoid this
problem.
- Various small Makefile.am things have been made more standard automake
style, eg. the use of pkginclude/pkglib prefixes instead of rolling our
own.
- The existing five top-level Makefile.am include files have been
consolidated into three.
- Most Makefile.am files now are structured more clearly, with comment
headers separating sections, declarations relating to the same things next
to each other, better spacing and layout, etc.
- Removed the unused exp-ptrcheck/tests/x86 directory.
- Renamed some XML files.
- Factored out some duplicated dSYM handling code.
- Split auxprogs/ into auxprogs/ and mpi/, which allowed the resulting
Makefile.am files to be much more standard.
- Cleaned up m_coredump by merging a bunch of files that had been
overzealously separated.
The net result is 630 fewer lines of Makefile.am code, or 897 if you exclude
the added Makefile.vex.am, or 997 once the hacky file copying for Vex is
removed. And the build system is much simpler.

I tried using 'svn merge' to do the merge but it did a terrible job and
there were bazillions of conflicts. So instead I just took the diff between
the branch and trunk at r10155, applied the diff to the trunk, 'svn add'ed
the added files (no files needed to be 'svn remove'd) and committed.

DARWIN branch. A big ugly DARWIN/trunk sync commit, mostly to do with
changing the representation of SysRes and vki_sigset_t. Functionality of
the trunk shouldn't be changed by it.

$INSTALL/<platform>/<filename>, they go to $INSTALL/<filename>-<platform>.
These filenames match those built in the build tree, and so simplifies the
build system signficantly and avoids the horrible sed renamings that were
previously required. This will also help greatly with the treatment of
.dSYM debug directories in the DARWIN branch.
Files affected include:
- preload libraries such as vgpreload_core-<platform>.so and
libmpiwrap-<platform>.so
- libraries such as libcoregrind_<platform>.a
- executables such as memcheck-<platform>
I updated the manual and added a note to the NEWS file about the change,
because it will affect a small number of users.
I did my best to update the AIX launcher/initimg correctly, but it hasn't
been tested.

the DARWIN branch easier later.
- Remove the disabled vgtest_ume test, it's very unlikely it'll ever work
again.
- Move VG_(find_auxv) to initimg-linux.c, the only place it's used, and make
it static.

relatively minor extensions to m_debuginfo, a major overhaul of
m_debuginfo/readdwarf3.c to get its space usage under control, and
changes throughout the system to enable heap-use profiling.
The majority of the merged changes were committed into
branches/PTRCHECK as the following revs: 8591 8595 8598 8599 8601 and
8161.

support to Memcheck for tracking the origin of uninitialised values,
if you use the --track-origins=yes flag.
This currently causes some Memcheck regression tests to fail, because
they now print an extra line of advisory text in their output. This
will be fixed.
The core-tool interface is slightly changed. The version number for
the interface needs to be incremented.

stacks. Instead of hardwiring the main thread stack to a max of 16MB
and segfaulting the app beyond that point, allow the user to specify
the main stack size using the new flag --main-stacksize=<number>.
If said flag is not present, the current default, which is "MIN(16GB,
current ulimit -s value)", is used.

the --max-stackframe value. This makes it possible to run programs
with very large (primary) stack requirements simply by specifying
--max-stackframe.

Problem is that --help etc are handled by the tool exe. But a
ptrace-based launch scheme can't run "no program" if the user just
types "valgrind --help" because the launcher depends on starting the
client first and only then attaching valgrind to it using ptrace. So
instead provide a dummy do-nothing program to run when no program is
specified. m_main notices this and acts as if there really had been
no program specified.
This has no effect at all on Linux/ELF program launching.
