caused by heap corruption by the client. Also clarified the FAQ about this.
Also updated the FAQ about decoding failures a little.

interface, except for the syscall numbers, into that. Mostly this
means moving include/vki-*.h to include/vki/vki-*.h.
include/pub_tool_basics.h previously dragged in the entire kernel
interface. I've done away with that, so that modules which need to
see the kernel interface now have to include pub_{core,tool}_vki.h
explicitly. This is why there are many modified .c files -- they have
all acquired an extra #include line.
This certainly breaks all platforms except x86. Will fix shortly.

do_syscall_for_client_WRK() needed a bigger stack to avoid the linkage area.
always use dot_prefix for label calls
not wrapping assembly with
.section ".text"

.previous
- ppc64 doesn't like it... seems we can't 'stack' more than one section to pop off with .previous ?

changes from r4341 through r4787 inclusive). That branch is now dead.
Please do not commit anything else to it.
For the most part the merge was not troublesome. The main areas of
uncertainty are:
- build system: I had to import by hand Makefile.core-AM_CPPFLAGS.am
and include it in a couple of places. Building etc seems to still
work, but I haven't tried building the documentation.
- syscall wrappers: Following analysis by Greg & Nick, a whole lot of
stuff was moved from -generic to -linux after the branch was created.
I think that is satisfactorily glued back together now.
- Regtests: although this appears to work, no .out files appear, which
is strange, and makes it hard to diagnose regtest failures. In
particular memcheck/tests/x86/scalar.stderr.exp remains in a
conflicted state.
- amd64 is broken (slightly), and ppc32 will be unbuildable. I'll
attend to the former shortly.

snapshots on ppc32-linux in the presence of functions subject to
leaf-function optimisations.
At the same time, simplify the stack unwinding logic by basically
implementing it separately for each target. Having a single piece of
logic for amd64 and x86 was tenable, but merging ppc32 into it is too
confusing. So now there is an x86/amd64 unwinder and a ppc32
unwinder.
This requires plumbing a link-register value into
VG_(get_StackTrace2), and that in turn requires passing it around
several other stack-trace-related functions. Hence 7 changed files.

as well disable pp_sched_status() -- which produces traces that are less
useful than the main one that has been disabled -- and break the
circular dependence between m_libcassert and m_threadstate.

unsuccessful attempt to remove m_libcassert from the huge cycle which
most of the modules currently live in.
VG_(get_StackTrace2) can now be privatised, but I haven't done so yet.

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!

- Broke part of m_scheduler off into a new module m_threadstate. It
contains ThreadState, VG_(threads)[] and some basic operations on the
thread table. All simple stuff, the complex stuff stays in m_scheduler.
This avoids lots of circular dependencies between m_scheduler and other
modules.
- Managed to finally remove core.h and tool.h, double hurrah!
- Introduced pub_tool_basics.h and pub_core_basics.h, one of which is
include by every single C file.
- Lots of little cleanups and changes related to the above.
- I even did a small amount of documentation updating.

m_syscall.c. Plus some associated cleanups.
Moved VG_(sigreturn) into m_signals.c and made it local.

As part of this, killed the VG_STRINGIFY macro, which was used to expand
out names like "VG_(foo)" and "vgPlain_foo" in assertion failure
messages. This is good since we actually want the "VG_(foo)" form used
in these messages.
