--branch-sim=yes is specified, Cachegrind simulates a simple indirect
branch predictor and a conditional branch predictor. The latter
considers both the branch instruction's address and the behaviour of
the last few conditional branches. Return stack prediction is not
modelled.
The new counted events are: conditional branches (Bc), mispredicted
conditional branches (Bcm), indirect branches (Bi) and mispredicted
indirect branches (Bim). Postprocessing tools (cg_annotate, cg_merge)
handle the new events as you would expect. Note that branch
simulation is not enabled by default as it gives a 20%-25% slowdown,
so you need to ask for it explicitly using --branch-sim=yes.

Makefile.am changes for AIX5. Almost all boilerplate stuff fitting in
with the existing factorisation scheme. The only change of interest
is that configure.in now generates automake symbols of name
VGP_platform and VGO_os, whereas previously it just made VG_platform
which was a bit inconsistent with the VGP/VGO/VGA scheme used in C
code.

distinction between primary and secondary build targets, and (2) make
it independent of the default behaviour of gcc (iow, what gcc does
when you specify neither -m32 nor -m64).
As a result, an out-of-the-box build on ppc64-linux now builds a
system which is basically for 64-bit PowerPC, but also has the ability
to run 32-bit ppc-linux binaries (exactly the same arrangement as you
get when building on amd64-linux).
There are various twists and turns. multiple-architectures.txt is
updated all the gory details.
This will break amd64 builds until such time as
<tool>/tests/{amd64,x86}/Makefile.am are fixed up (shortly).

bit-rotted badly and was clogging up the code.
I put the useful remnants in docs/porting-to-ARM in case anyone ever
wants to try porting to ARM again.

Plenty still to do, but simple programs like ls seem to run ok
Thanks, Paul, for having your ppc port of valgrind 2.4 to work from!

well with those for the CVS version... the I1 accesses are noticeably
higher, but everything else is nearly the same.
There's some ugliness in spots, partly due to shortcomings with Vex. And
CPUID auto-detection is currently disabled, because cpuid is disabled in
general.

seem to be simply duplication of the x86 instruction set tests into
the addrcheck and helgrind trees. I'm not sure what this duplication
achieves.

It compiles, but aborts immediately if you try to run it.
I didn't include ldt.c; I'm not sure how the LDT is used on AMD64. It can be
added later if necessary.
While doing this, did some 64-bit cleanness fixes:
- Added necessary intermediate casts to ULong to avoid warnings when converting
ThreadId to void* and vice versa, in vg_scheduler.c.
- Fixed VALGRIND_NON_SIMD_CALL[0123] to use 'long' as the return type.
- Fixed VALGRIND_PRINTF{,BACKTRACE} to use unsigned longs instead of unsigned
ints, as needed.
- Converted some offsets in vg_symtab2.h from "Int" to "OffT".
- Made strlen, strncat, etc, use SizeT instead of 'unsigned int' for the length
parameter.
- Couple of other minor things.
I had to insert some "#ifdef __amd64__" and "#ifndef __amd64__" guards in
places. In particular, in vg_mylibc.c, some of our syscall wrappers aren't
appropriate for AMD64 because the syscall numbering is a bit different in
places. This difference will have to be abstracted out somehow.
Also rewrote the sys_fcntl and sys_fcntl64 wrappers, as required for AMD64.
Also moved the ipc wrapper into x86, since it's not applicable for
AMD64. However, it is applicable (I think) for ARM, so it would be nice
to work out a way to share syscall wrappers between some, but not all,
archs. Hmm. Also now using the real IPC constants rather than magic
numbers in the wrapper.
Other non-AMD64-related fixes:
- ARM: fixed syscall table by accounting for the fact that syscall
numbers don't start at 0, but rather at 0x900000.
- Converted a few places to use ThreadId instead of 'int' or 'Int' for
thread IDs.
- Added both AMD64 and ARM (which I'd forgotten) entries to valgrind.spec.in.
- Tweaked comments in various places.

which list all the arches/OSes/platforms supported. These are used by
several newly added DIST_SUBDIRS automake commands, which specify that
although when you are building you only want to build for the current
arch/OS/platform, when you do 'make dist' you want every
arch/OS/platform to get included.

run, though. There are lots of stubs to be filled in. (The asm ones currently
just have "swi" in them, which seems to cause seg faults.)
Also, some of the macros are decided dubious, especially:
ARCH_* are bogus
SYSCALL_RET is bogus
PLATFORM_SET_SYSCALL_RESULT is bogus
not sure about SET_SYSCALL_RETVAL
FIRST_STACK_FRAME et al -- bogus?
VG_MAX_JUMPS ?
And in stage2.lds, the 0x8048000 is almost certainly wrong
This required some tweakings of the core:
- some of the vki_*.h kernel types were fixed up
- had to disable the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro in configure.in, because automake
(autoconf?) didn't like it...
- some "#ifdef __x86__" guards were introduced, for nasty x86 things I don't
yet know how to factor out (trampoline page muck, sysinfo page muck).
- fixed a minor stupidity in vg_proxylwp.c.
- moved the ptrace wrapper into the x86-linux part
- had to change the intercept mangling scheme, to use 'J' instead of '$' as the
escape char because GCC didn't like '$'. This is all very dubious, and only
works because none of our intercepted symbols contains a 'J'. To be fixed up
ASAP.

which caused the test to be skipped if the CPU type wasn't appropriate,
with a "prereq" line, which specifies a command that must succeed before
the test is run.

- Moved all the insn_* tests into x86/ subdirectories. What are the chances of
me getting this right on the first attempt?

- Rewrote tests/cputest.c so that it can apply to different kinds of
processors. The idea being that any arch-specific tests have a cpu_test:
label in their .vgtest file, so they'll only get executed if the right
machine is being used.
- Rewrote a bunch of .vgtest files accordingly.

created by the test. Added appropriate lines to the Cachegrind and Massif
tests. Should prevent large numbers of files clogging up directories.

Also fixed problem with Cachegrind tests, by filtering out P4s'
warning message.
Also fixed 'mismatches'.

the output file wouldn't get written. No longer creating the file at startup
and then writing it at the end; just writing it at the end. Also recording
the start directory at the start so that the output ends up in it even if the
program does change directory.
Had to add VG_(getcwd)() to vg_mylibc.c for this.
Added a regression test for it too.

was present from before the core/skin split, which is now dead. Means the
