twice as fast as it was before.

- Factor out 'execv' from 'system' and expose it to tools.
Partly based on a patch from Robert O'Callahan.

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.

helgrind/ into the core. It's just too darn useful to not be in the
core. There is some overlap in functionality between OSet and WordFM,
but OSet is more space efficient in some circumstances, whereas WordFM
is easier to use and a bit more flexible in some cases.
Also in this new module (m_wordfm) is a type WordBag, build on top of
WordFM. This provides Multiset of UWords functionality.

family of syscalls is impossible to write in a way that's portable and
correct. On some targets (eg x86-linux) you need to do sys_stat64 and
receive the results in a 'struct vki_stat64'. But on other targets
(eg amd64-linux) neither sys_stat64 nor 'struct vki_stat64' exist.
This commit adds a new type, 'struct vg_stat', which contains 64 bit
fields in all the right places, and makes VG_(stat) and VG_(fstat) use
it. This means callers to the two functions no longer need to worry
about the is-it-64-bit-clean-or-not question, since these routines
reformat the received data into a'struct vg_stat'. Kind of like what
glibc must have been doing for decades.
This (indirectly) fixes a bug on x86-linux, in which m_debuginfo would
sometimes fail to read debug info, due to VG_(di_notify_mmap) using
VG_(stat) (hence sys_stat) on the file, which failed, and when in fact
it should have used sys_stat64. Bug reported and tracked down by
Marc-Oliver Straub.

hardwire the assumption that an inode number is a UWord, that is, a
host word. There's no reason for that assumption to be valid; an
inode number could be a 64-bit int even on a 32 bit platform (eg w.r.t
sys_stat64). This commit changes inode numbers and, for good measure,
dev numbers, to be 64-bit regardless.

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.

of VG_(record_ExeContext), which just records the first stack frame
but does not attempt to unwind the (guest) stack. This is useful in
situations where we suspect unwinding the stack might cause a
segfault.
Use this in m_signals, when getting a backtrace following a guest
segfault.

--fill-free=<hexnumber>, which cause malloc'd(etc) and free'd(etc)
blocks to be filled with the specified value. This can apparently be
useful for shaking out hard-to-track-down memory corruption. The
definedness/addressability of said areas is not affected -- only the
contents. Documentation to follow.

the string converted wasn't entirely numeric. Using them for numeric
command-line options -- previously if you had a option "--foo=<n>", where
<n> is supposed to be an integer, then "--foo=blah" would be interpreted as
"--foo=0", because the "blah" would be converted to zero and the remaining
chars wouldn't be noticed.
Fixed an incorrect command-line option in two massif tests that this change
exposed.
