53d40a27da vg_symtab2.c:
- No longer aborting when encountering a N_SOL symbol after the 65535th
      line in a file, just printing a warning/apology that annotations/messages
      might be wrong.

      This is a pain to fix properly, since it requires first guessing when a
      line number overflow happens, then switching to one or more other files,
      then switching back.

ece0587a11 Added section to tech docs on how cachegrind works, including the
cachegrind.out file format.

Tiny change in user manual.

892eb8f8fc Remove comments about Mozilla 1.0RC1 crashing, since that's not a Valgrind
bug, and explain, for the benefit of Mozilla hackers, how to make 1.0RC1
work on Valgrind.

50ca1d2fc2 Fix free and free-mismatch err so the top frame in the bt isn't skipped.
Put a better example of free-mismatch error in the manual.

fcc45a9e85 New files:
- vg_cachesim.c
  - vg_cachesim_{I1,D1,L2}.c
  - vg_annotate.in
  - vg_cachegen.in

Changes to existing files:

  - valgrind/valgrind.in, added option:

        --cachesim=no|yes       [no]

  - Makefile/Makefile.am:
        * added vg_cachesim.c to valgrind_so_SOURCES var
        * added vg_cachesim_I1.c, vg_cachesim_D1.c, vg_cachesim_L2.c to
          noinst_HEADERS var
        * added vg_annotate, vg_cachegen to 'bin_SCRIPTS' var, and added empty
          targets for them

  - vg_main.c:
        * added two offsets for cache sim functions (put in positions 17a,17b)
        * added option handling (detection of --cachesim=yes which turns off of
          --instrument);
        * added calls to cachesim initialisation/finalisation functions

  - vg_mylibc: added some system call wrappers (for chmod, open_write, etc) for
    file writing

  - vg_symtab2.c:
        * allow it to read symbols if either of --instrument or --cachesim is
          used
        * made vg_symtab2.c:vg_what_{line,fn}_is_this extern, renaming it as
          VG_(what_line_is_this) (and added to vg_include.h)
        * completely rewrote the read loop in vg_read_lib_symbols, fixing
          several bugs.  Much better now, although probably not perfect.  It's
          also relatively fragile -- I'm using the "die immediately if anything
          unexpected happens" approach.

  - vg_to_ucode.c:
        * in VG_(disBB), patching in x86 instruction size into extra4b field of
          JMP instructions at the end of basic blocks if --cachesim=yes.
          Shifted things around to do this;  also had to fiddle around with
          single-step stuff to get this to work, by not sticking extra JMPs on
          the end of the single-instruction block if there was already one
          there (to avoid breaking an assertion in vg_cachesim.c).  Did a
          similar thing to avoid an extra JMP on huge basic blocks that are
          split.

  - vg_translate.c:
        * if --cachesim=yes call the cachesim instrumentation phase
        * made some functions extern and renamed:
                allocCodeBlock() --> VG_(allocCodeBlock)()
                freeCodeBlock()  --> VG_(freeCodeBlock)()
                copyUInstr()     --> VG_(copyUInstr)()
          (added to vg_include.h too)

  - vg_include.c: declared
        * cachesim offsets
        * exports of vg_cachesim.c
        * added four new profiling events (increasing VGP_M_CCS to 24 -- I kept
          the spare ones)
        * added comment about UInstr.extra4b field being used for instr size in
          JMPs for cache simulation

  - docs/manual.html:
        * Added --cachesim option to section 2.5.
        * Added cache profiling stuff as section 7.

fe8ade38b8 Change --trace-pthread= flag to accept none|some|all, for finer level
of pthread event tracing.  And allow this info to be passed across to
the client, where vg_libpthread.c uses it to also control verbosity.

43ca0bb6f4 Get rid of the --client-perms= flag. Valgrind now depends critically
on the client-request subsystem, and disabling it is no longer a
sensible thing to do.

Also: in the manual, mention flags --trace-sched= and --trace-pthread=.

0523b62608 Change message "Use of uninitialized CPU condition code" to
"Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)", since
that will be more meaningful to most programmers.  Also change the
suppression-kind to Cond in .supp files.  The old Value0 descriptor
means the same and is still accepted.  Suggested by Joe Buck
<Joe.Buck@synopsys.com>.
