'__libc_start_main', in Massif, m_debuginfo and m_stacktrace. As part of
this, --show-below-main is now visible to tools, and Massif pays attention
to it.
Improved the description of --show-below-main=yes in the manual.
Replaced some instances of "__libc_start_main" in the test *.exp files with
"(below main)", which is what will actually be seen. Also updated
scalar.stderr.exp*, which should make it get closer to actually passing.

wrote into the parent's output file even if %p was specified.
Josef, I think Callgrind does not have this bug, but you might want to say
something about forking in the manual, as I have done for Massif and
Cachegrind.

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.

on some advanced aspects of the core (client requests, function
wrapping) and move stuff from the main core manual into it.

somewhat to move less relevant material out of the way to some extent.
The main changes are:
* Update date and version info
* Mention other tools in the quick-start guide
* Document --child-silent-after-fork
* Rearrange order of sections in the Valgrind Core chapter, to move
advanced stuff (client requests) to the end, and compact stuff
relevant to the majority of users towards the front
* Move MPI debugging stuff from the Core manual (a nonsensical place
for it) to the Memcheck chapter
* Update the manual's introductory chapter a bit
* Connect up new tech docs summary page, and disconnect old and
very out of date valgrind/memcheck tech docs
* Add section tags to the Cachegrind manual, to stop xsltproc
complaining about their absence

Memcheck, replacing the 9-bits-per-byte shadow memory representation to a
2-bits-per-byte representation (with possibly a little more on the side) by
taking advantage of the fact that extremely few memory bytes are partially
defined.
For the SPEC2k benchmarks with "test" inputs, this speeds up Memcheck by a
(geometric mean) factor of 1.20, and reduces the size of shadow memory by a
(geometric mean) factor of 4.26.
At the same time, Addrcheck is removed. It hadn't worked for quite some
time, and with these improvements in Memcheck its raisons-d'etre have
shrivelled so much that it's not worth the effort to keep around. Hooray!
Nb: this code hasn't been tested on PPC. If things go wrong, look first in
the fast stack-handling functions (eg. mc_new_mem_stack_160,
MC_(helperc_MAKE_STACK_UNINIT)).

- removed a reference to cachegrind dot org from mc-tech-docs.xml
- in an effort to simplify future borked links, replaced all valgrind
website urls with entities so now we just have to change one string.
- new stylesheet to create the docs to 'fit' into the website
- added build rules 'make website-docs' + make download-docs
to /docs/Makefile.am
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@5239
bug-patches and created some new ones in the stylesheets.
Also tweaked some files to structure the xml properly.
The FAQ and the Quick-Start are now 'articles' inside a book-wrapper,
which is as it should be.
FAQ.xml
- due to various passivetex bug fixes, the faq is now a properly
structured xml qandaset document
quick-start-guide.xml:
manual.xml
- Fixed some passivetex-workaround kludges:
legalnotice -> author
manual-core.xml:
For readability, added '<command>' to varlistentry items
since passivetex (sigh) will no longer indent the para text.
index.xml:
- loads of white-space readability tweaks here and there.
tech-docs.xml
dist-docs.xml
manual.xml
- additional entries to <bookinfo> for compatability with
the rest of the docs.
/docs/Makefile.am
- added stuff to use the new vg-faq2txt.xsl stylesheet
/docs/lib/Makefile.am
- updated to reflect current contents of /docs/lib/
- removed refs to vg-html-single as is never ever used
/docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl
- massively updated to reflect losing old bugs and gaining new ones
/docs/lib/vg-common.xsl
- deleted as only contained two lines common to html and fo,
so not worth the bother of hauling around
/docs/lib/vg-html-chunk.xsl
- added what was in vg-common.xsl
/docs/lib/line-wrap.xsl
/docs/lib/faq2text.xsl
- two new stylesheet files for transforming FAQ.xml to FAQ.txt

the glibc-removal process. Timestamps are now printed in terms of
elapsed wallclock time since startup, shown as days, hours, minutes,
seconds and milliseconds. The arithmetic is done with 32-bit unsigned
ints, so people doing Valgrind runs that last longer than 49.71 days
are going to see some funny results :-)

considerable performance overhead and some additional complexity.
