things. These made sense when the arch/OS/platform-specific code was in
one module, but as that code got mixed in with generic code the boundary
between generic and non-generic blurred, and the distinction made less
sense. So let's get rid of them.

module-local, use the new ML_ prefix instead of VG_. This makes it
trivial to see which names are those exported from public module
interfaces: precisely those using VG_.
/* VG_ is for symbols exported from modules. ML_ (module-local) is
for symbols which are not intended to be visible outside modules,
but which cannot be declared as C 'static's since they need to be
visible across C files within a given module. It is a mistake for
a ML_ name to appear in a pub_core_*.h or pub_tool_*.h file.
Likewise it is a mistake for a VG_ name to appear in a priv_*.h
file.

not really from the kernel and they're defined in terms of VG_(max_signal),
which is in m_signals. Renamed them with the VG_ prefix too, since they're
now not part of the kernel interface.

I've changed it so it now is, which makes it consistent with the
other 'needs'. Because of this, I was also able to invert the dependence
between m_mallocfree and m_tooliface, which is related to setting
the redzone size for client heap blocks. As a result, m_tooliface
now doesn't depend on anything except pub_core_basics.h, hooray!

- VG_(sanity_check_needs)() now returns a message to m_main if it fails,
for m_main to print and abort, rather than printing an error message and
aborting itself. This removes the dependency on m_libcprint and
m_libcassert.
- Passing in an extra param to VG_(sanity_check_needs)() that says if
shadow memory has been allocated, rather than using
VG_(get_shadow_size)(). This removes the dependency on m_aspacemgr.

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.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3944
- Renamed VG_INTERCEPT as VG_REPLACE_FUNCTION to make its purpose
clearer.
- Renamed VG_WRAPPER as VG_NOTIFY_ON_LOAD to make its purpose cleare.
Started calling that stuff "load notification".
- Moved various things into m_redir.c, a much more sensible place for
them. This reduced the number of exported functions overall. Renamed
intercept_demangle() as Z_decode() as part of this.
- Improved the documentation of this stuff, especially in
pub_core_redir.c.
- Got --run-libc-freeres=yes working again. It was doing nothing.
- Renamed vg_inject.so as vg_preload_core.so to match
vg_preload_<tool>.so
- Renamed vg_intercept.c as vg_preloaded.c. (I kept the "vg_" prefix
because this filename can appear in stack traces, so the "vg_" is a
useful hint for users that it belongs to Valgrind.)
- Removed all the Memcheck-specific calls to add_redirect_sym_to_sym()
from VG_(setup_redirect_table)(), instead using VG_REPLACE_FUNCTION in
mac_replace_strmem.c, just like vg_replace_malloc.c. This is the
right way to do it. This required moving some of
coregrind/pub_core_redir.h into the newly added
include/pub_tool_redir.h. add_redirect_sym_to_sym() is no longer
used...
- Now only handing off symbols to m_redir for inspection/decoding after
they have been deemed to be interesting by the symbol table reader.
- Factored out commonality between the add_redirect_*_to_* functions
into add_redirect_X_to_X().
- Added "Zh", meaning '-' ('h' for "hyphen"), to the Z-decoding scheme,
to handle sonames like "ld-linux-x86-64.so.2".
- Added a FAQ explaining the newly found issue of glibc aliasing
sometimes causing the wrong function name to appear in stack traces.
- Added a new regtest strchr.c. It's possible this will fail on some
platforms. If so, an alternative output file can be provided, but
I'd like to see it in practice first.
It's possible that there will be minor breakage on other
platforms/setups, but it should be minimal and easily fixable.
Plus some ordinary cleanups in symtab.c:
- Removed the old optimisation from VG_(addStr)() whereby it kept track
of the previous 5 added strings and avoiding duplicating any of them.
Turns out it was barely having any effect any more, and just
complicated things.
- Made read_symtab() more readable, by introducing a new variable
"sym_name" and introducing the auxiliary function
is_symbol_interesting().
- renamed the module variable 'segInfo' as 'segInfo_list' to make it
more obvious it's a module variable and not just some ordinary local
variable (which was an easy mistake to make).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
XXX: [later] remove add_redirect_sym_to_sym, and everything related to
X_to_sym? (ie. only need X_to_addr)
XXX: better function names? all those 'resolved' names...
[later...]

The only interesting part is a change of signature of
VG_(get_filename_linenum) so that callers can optionally request
directory info too.

the m_syscalls module. Fundamentally the aim of the overhaul is to
clean up the logic and abstractions surrounding syscalls in order that
we can cleanly support ppc32 and other new targets. Aims in detail:
* To further decouple the syscall PRE/POST wrappers from specifics of
how those values are stored on a given platform. The wrappers look
the same as they did before, mostly (eg, references to ARGn and
RES are unchanged), but now those macros refer to values in structs
SyscallArgs and SyscallStatus (see priv_types_n_macros.h).
* Complete overhaul of the driver logic for syscalls. The resulting
logic is algorithmically identical to what we had before, but is
more documented, and deals with moving arg/result data between
platform specific representations and the canonical forms in
structs SyscallArgs and SyscallStatus.
* Also as a result of this change, remove problems in the old logic
due to assignments of RES in PRE wrappers trashing the ARGs whilst
we still need to see them.
* Lots of other cleanups and documentation. There is extensive
commentary in syscalls-main.c.
The driver logic has been placed in its own file, syscalls-main.c.
New/deleted files in m_syscalls:
* syscalls.c is divided up into syscalls-main.c, containing driver
logic, and syscalls-generic.c, containing generic Unix wrappers.
* priv_syscalls.h is chopped up into priv_types_n_macros.h
and priv_syscalls-{generic,main}.h.
------------
All the above changes are in m_syscalls. However there is one
system-wide change as a result of all this.
The x86-linux assumption that syscall return values in the range -4095
.. -1 are errors and all others are values, has been done away with
everywhere. Instead there is a new basic type SysRes which holds a
system call result in a platform-neutral way.
Everywhere that previously an Int would have held a system call
result, there is now a SysRes in its place.
------------
Almost everything works on SuSE 9.1 (LinuxThreads) again. NPTL will
still be majorly broken; I will commit fixes shortly. AMD64 is also
totalled. I will get to that too.

in the user manual for usage information. The stack_changes.c file in
corecheck/tests contains a short example.

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.

relying on any other modules -- in m_libcbase.
Also converted the 'size' parameters to functions like VG_(memcpy) and
VG_(strncpy) from Int to SizeT, as they should be.
Also removed VG_(atoll16) and VG_(toupper), which weren't being used.
Also made VG_(atoll36) less flexible -- it now only does base-36 numbers
instead of any base in the range 2..36, since base-36 is the only one we
need. As part of that, I fixed a horrible bug in it which caused it to
return incorrect answers for any number containing the digits 'A'..'I'!
(Eg. for "A; it would return 17 instead of 10!)
Had to disable the assertions in VG_(string_match), since this module can't
see vg_assert, which wasn't ideal but also isn't a disaster.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3838
sensible now -- no vg_dummy_profile.c, no silly #including of
vg_profile.c from tools.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work, due to bad interactions
with signal handling that I don't understand.

been a concept of a 'master thread'. This is the first thread in the
process. There was special logic which kept the master thread alive
artificially should it attempt to exit before its children. So the
master would wait for all children to exit and then exit itself, in
the process emitting the final summary of errors, leaks, etc.
This has the advantage that any process waiting on this one will see
the final summaries appearing before its sys_wait call returns. In
other words, the final summary output is synchronous with the
master-thread exiting.
Unfortunately the master-thread idea has a serious drawback, namely
that it can and sometimes does cause threaded programs to deadlock at
exit. It introduces an artificial dependency which is that the master
thread cannot really exit until all its children have exited. If --
by any means at all -- the children are waiting for the master to exit
before exiting themselves, deadlock results. There are now two known
examples of such deadlocks.
This commit removes the master thread concept and lets threads exit in
the order which they would have exited without Valgrind's involvement.
The last thread to exit prints the final summaries. This has the
disadvantage that final output may appear arbitrarily later relative
to the exit of the initial thread. Whether this is a problem in
practice remains to be seen.
As a minor side effect of this change, some functions have had
_NORETURN added to their names. Such functions do not return. The
thread in which they execute is guaranteed to exit before they return.
This makes the logic somewhat easier to follow.
amd64 compilation is now broken. I will fix it shortly.

form. The relevant flag is --xml=yes. Currently this only works with
Memcheck.
Specifying this flag fixes various other options relating to verbosity
and behaviour of the leak checker, so that the resulting output is in
a relatively fixed form suitable for parsing by GUIs.
Still to do:
* Add mechanism to show error counts
* Add regression test
* Document the resulting format
