5b3c2f59c5 Run __gnu_cxx::__freeres() cleanup function available
from libstdc++ when available, similar to existing __libc_freeres().
New option --run-cxx-freeres=<yes|no> can be used to change whether
this cleanup function is called or not.

Note that __gnu_cxx::__freeres() is currently available
only in gcc 6. It is not yet decided what to do about
libstdc++ from gcc 5.
Tracked under https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69945
for libstdc++.

Fixes BZ#345307 (partially).

51c6c85e22 The semantic of the stack bounds is not consistent or is not described.
At various places, there were either some assumption that the 'end'
boundary (highest address) was either not included, included,
or was the highest addressable word, or the highest addressable byte.
This e.g. was very visible when doing:
  ./vg-in-place -d -d ./helgrind/tests/tc01_simple_race|&grep regi
giving
  --24040:2:stacks     register 0xBEDB4000-0xBEDB4FFF as stack 0
  --24040:2:stacks     register 0x402C000-0x4A2C000 as stack 1
showing that the main stack end was (on x86) not the highest word
but the highest byte, while for the thread 1, the registered end
was a byte not part of the stack.

The attached patch ensures that stack bounds semantic are documented and
consistent. Also, some of the stack handling code is factorised.

The convention that the patch ensures and documents is:
start is the lowest addressable byte, end is the highest addressable byte.
(the words 'min' and 'max' have been kept when already used, as this wording is 
consistent with the new semantic of start/end).

In various debug log, used brackets [ and ] to make clear that
both bounds are included.

The code to guess and register the client stack was duplicated
in all the platform specific syswrap-<plat>-<os>.c files.
Code has been factorised in syswrap-generic.c

The patch has been regression tested on
   x86, amd64, ppc32/64, s390x.
It has been compiled and one test run on arm64.
Not compiled/not tested on darwin, android, mips32/64, arm


More in details, the patch does the following:

coregrind/pub_core_aspacemgr.h
include/valgrind.h
include/pub_tool_machine.h
coregrind/pub_core_scheduler.h
coregrind/pub_core_stacks.h
  - document start/end semantic in various functions
 also in pub_tool_machine.h:
  - replaces unclear 'bottommost address' by 'lowest address'
    (unclear as stack bottom is or at least can be interpreted as
     the 'functional' bottom of the stack, which is the highest
      address for 'stack growing downwards').
coregrind/pub_core_initimg.h
  replace unclear clstack_top by clstack_end
coregrind/m_main.c
  updated to clstack_end

coregrind/pub_core_threadstate.h
  renamed client_stack_highest_word to client_stack_highest_byte
coregrind/m_scheduler/scheduler.c
  computes client_stack_highest_byte as the highest addressable byte
  Update comments in call to VG_(show_sched_status)
coregrind/m_machine.c
coregrind/m_stacktrace.c
  updated to client_stack_highest_byte, and switched 
    stack_lowest/highest_word to stack_lowest/highest_byte accordingly

coregrind/m_stacks.c
  clarify semantic of start/end,
  added a comment to indicate why we invert start/end in register call
  (note that the code find_stack_by_addr was already assuming that
  end was included as the checks were doing e.g.
    sp >= i->start && sp <= i->end

coregrind/pub_core_clientstate.h
coregrind/m_clientstate.c
  renames Addr  VG_(clstk_base) to Addr  VG_(clstk_start_base)
    (start to indicate it is the lowest address, base suffix kept
     to indicate it is the initial lowest address).

coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-darwin.c
   updated to  VG_(clstk_start_base)
   replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
   updated clstack_max_size computation according to both bounds included.

coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-linux.c
   updated to  VG_(clstk_start_base)
   updated VG_(clstk_end) computation according to both bounds included.
   replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end

coregrind/pub_core_aspacemgr.h
  extern Addr VG_(am_startup) : clarify semantic of the returned value
coregrind/m_aspacemgr/aspacemgr-linux.c
   removed a copy of a comment that was already in pub_core_aspacemgr.h
     (avoid double maintenance)
   renamed unclear suggested_clstack_top to suggested_clstack_end
    (note that here, it looks like suggested_clstack_top was already
     the last addressable byte)

* factorisation of the stack guessing and registration causes
  mechanical changes in the following files:
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-ppc64-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-x86-darwin.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-amd64-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-arm-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-generic.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-mips64-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-ppc32-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-amd64-darwin.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-mips32-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/priv_syswrap-generic.h
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-x86-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-s390x-linux.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-darwin.c
      coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-arm64-linux.c
 Some files to look at more in details:
  syswrap-darwin.c : the handling of sysctl(kern.usrstack) looked
    buggy to me, and has probably be made correct by the fact that
     VG_(clstk_end) is now the last addressable byte. However,unsure
    about this, as I could not find any documentation about 
    sysctl(kern.usrstack). I only find several occurences on the web,
    showing that the result of this is page aligned, which I guess
    means it must be 1+ the last addressable byte.
  syswrap-x86-darwin.c and syswrap-amd64-darwin.c
   I suspect the code that was computing client_stack_highest_word
   was wrong, and the patch makes it correct.
  syswrap-mips64-linux.c
    not sure what to do for this code. This is the only code
    that was guessing the stack differently from others.
    Kept (almost) untouched. To be discussed with mips maintainers.

coregrind/pub_core_libcassert.h
coregrind/m_libcassert.c
  * void VG_(show_sched_status):
     renamed Bool valgrind_stack_usage to Bool stack_usage
     if stack_usage, shows both the valgrind stack usage and
     the client stack boundaries
coregrind/m_scheduler/scheduler.c
coregrind/m_gdbserver/server.c
coregrind/m_gdbserver/remote-utils.c
   Updated comments in callers to VG_(show_sched_status)

8e605f14c5 Add option a new sim-hint no-nptl-pthread-stackcache.
Activating this hint using --sim-hints=no-nptl-pthread-stackcache
means the glibc nptl stack cache will be disabled.

Disabling this stack/tls cache avoids helgrind false positive race conditions
errors when using __thread variables.

Note: disabling the stack cache is done by a kludge, dependent on
internal knowledge of glibc code, and using libpthread debug info.
So, this kludge might be broken with newer glibc version.
This has been tested on various platforms and various
glibc versions 2.11, 2.16 and 2.18

To check if the disabling works, you can do:
valgrind --tool=helgrind --sim-hints=no-nptl-pthread-stackcache -d -v ./helgrind/tests/tls_threads |& grep kludge

If you see the below 2 lines, then hopefully the stack cache has been disabled.
--12624-- deactivate nptl pthread stackcache via kludge: found symbol stack_cache_actsize at addr 0x3AF178
--12624:1:sched    pthread stack cache size disabling done via kludge

521a1c8ec4 In an attempt to fix the accounting for dynamic memory allocation
it turned out that coregrind freely allocates memory on the tool
arena (which it should not, conceptually) and tools rely on coregrind
doing so (by VG_(free)'ing memory allocated by coregrind).
Entangling this mess is risky and provides little benefit except
architectural cleanliness. 
Thinking more about it... It isn't really all that interesting how
much memory is allocated by tool code in and by itself.  What is
interesting is the total memory impact a tool has, e.g. as compared
to running "none".
So in this patch the number of memory arenas is consolidated by
subsuming VG_AR_TOOL/ERRORS/EXECCTXT into VG_AR_CORE.
VG_(malloc) and friends have been modified to operate on VG_AR_CORE.

3168fa1e2a fix 321960 pthread_create() then alloca() causing invalid stack write errors
Problem created by a discrepancy between the initial main stack
anon segment, and the main stack registered in m_stacks.c

Looking at some tracing; we see that there are two pages of stack:
--9078:2:main       tell tool about 0ffefff000-0fff000fff rw-
The stack between the base and the current sp is marked as not accessible:
--9078:2:main       mark stack inaccessible 0ffefff000-0fff0004bf

This is matching the aspacemgr view:
--9078:1:aspacem   22: RSVN 0ffe801000-0ffeffefff 8380416 ----- SmUpper
--9078:1:aspacem   23: anon 0ffefff000-0fff000fff    8192 rw---
(all the above is normal/as expected)


However, the main stack is registered in m_stacks.c as having only one page:
--9078:2:stacks     register 0xFFF000000-0xFFF000FFF as stack 0

When the main stack is grown, m_stacks.c is informed by m_signals.c
that the stack is grown. This is done by trapping the signal 11
when a not mapped page is accessed.
However, the 2nd page does not cause a signal (as it is mapped).
So, m_stacks.c still believes the main has one page stack.
This then gives problems in the tracking of the SP and current_stack
in m_stacks.c.

Only one page was registered for the main stack, as the registration
was done with values computed before possibly adding a page
needed for the ABI redzone.

The fix is to properly register the main stack with the size of
the stack segment, once all aspects have been taken into account.
With the fix, the stack is registered as:
--31501:2:stacks     register 0xFFEFFF000-0xFFF000FFF as stack 0

  Another possible fix would be to always register the main stack with the
  full size of the aspacemgr stack segment (i.e. the anon+RSVN above)
  (idea is that this is similar to non main threads, for which the
  full thread stack is registered from the beginning, even if not fully
  used yet).
  The first fix was preferred, assuming it is better to keep registering
  the main stack "physical" size (and not its maximal size).


Test memcheck/tests/thread_alloca added, based on reproducer
done by Daniel Stodden.
The bug might be triggered or not depending on the initial value
of the SP, which is influenced by the size of the "env".
So, the test execs itself, growing each time the environment.
This has given a reasonable chance/way to reproduce the bug on Ubuntu 12
and on a Debian 6.
(tested on amd64/Ubuntu 12 and Debian 6
           x86/fedora12
           ppc64/fedora18

Note that while investigating this bug, another strange thing was seen:
thread stacks are registered in m_stacks.c but are never unregistered.
It is not very clear that it is needed or not to unregister them:
thread stack segments are not freed when a thread terminates :
when a thread slot is re-used, its thread stack will also be re-used.
(Is that good for address space mgt ? A process that has created many
temporary threads will have the thread stacks lost forever ???).

f3c89bf4b0 remove two not used global variables:
Addr  VG_(client_base) = 0;       /* client address space limits */
Addr  VG_(client_end)  = 0;

These 2 vars are unused, and there is a comment just before
telling:
 // TODO: get rid of as many of these as possible.

So, let's do the easy part :)

ae8215b3ac Create a new module, m_vki, and move all knowledge about the kernel
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.

cc8ccbbfb4 This commit merges in changes from branches/ASPACEM (specifically,
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.
