a bunch of file-related syscalls to be handled on the might-block
syscall path rather than the fast syscall path. This fixes deadlocks
when running some FUSE-specific filesystem codes. Fixes#278057.

--cmd-time-out
* changed prefixes of Valgrind core monitor commands from vg. to v.
* removed prefixes of Tool monitor commands
* memcheck leak_check 'leakpossible' arg renamed to 'possibleleak'
* memcheck make_memory 'ifaddressabledefined' arg renamed to
'Definedifaddressable'
(with uppercase D to avoid confusion with 'defined' arg).
* vgdb options
- Some doc updates : more logical option order documentation,
specify 'standalone' for options aimed at standalone usage.
- added option --cmd-time-out for standalone vgdb
(comment of Josef Weindendorfer, needed to interface with a callgrind GUI)
* updated tests according to the above.
* updated documentation according to the above.
* some additional minor doc fixes/clarifications

adds self-modifying-code checks to all guest code taken from mappings
which are not file backed, but omits checks in code from file backed
mappings. This has the effect of giving complete smc-coverage of JIT
generated code -- since that is invariably generated into anonymous
mapped areas -- without burdening non-JIT generated code with such
checks. Running Firefox 6, --smc-check=all-non-file reduces by a
factor of between 3 and 10 the number of translations requiring a self
check, compared to --smc-check=all. These changes depend on the vex
interface changes in r2158.

* Disabled several tests on ARM when gdb version < 7.1
gdb 7.0 has problems with next/step/... in ARM thumb code.
* Documented in manual-core.xml that ARM thumb code implies
a gdb version >= 7.1
* m_gdbserver.h/.c : take into account the thumb bit at several places
* use new IRStmt_IMark::delta field to distinguish ARM vs Thumb
instructions as committed in vex r2153

Fix some tests on ppc-debian6,s390x + handled Nick Nethercote, Josef
Weidendorfer comments
* improved testing & related doc
- added option --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=yes to mcsig(no)pass.vgtest
+ updated manual-core.xml
- cleanup some comments in *.vgtest
- modified filter_gdb and filter_memcheck_monitor to
handle specific ppc/debian6.0 mcsig(no)pass output
handle specific s390x 'missing debug info'
- added more information in README_DEVELOPPERS on how to
investigate failing gdbserver tests.
* handled Nick Nethercote comment:
Replaced kludgy ms.snapshot detailed
by ms.detailed_snaphot
Updated documentation and test.
* handled Josef Weindendorfer comments:
- do not report an error if ptrace_scope file can't be read.
Instead, a debug trace is done if -d (debug) option given
- added an option -l to give the list of active Valgrind
gdbserver. Useful a.o. to support callgrind_control.
Updated documentation
- added ref. to vgdb help in the vgdb --help message

behave more like the original proposal in #245535. This makes it
more flexible and general. Also rename it.
* new name is --fullpath-after=
* allow multiple instances of --fullpath-after=
* don't require the specified strings to be prefixes, only substrings
But retain the elegant backwards-compatibility trick in Bart's r11312
commit: if --fullpath-after= is not specified at all, then behave
exactly as before.

both wrapped up in XML tags (as before) but also in plain text in a
sequence of CDATA blocks. Normally only one, but in the worst case
the raw data will have ]]> in it, in which case it needs to be split
across two CDATA blocks.
This apparently simple change involved a lot of refactoring of the
suppression printing machinery:
* in the core-tool iface, change "print_extra_suppression_info" (which
prints any auxiliary info) to "get_extra_suppression_info", which
parks the text in a caller-supplied buffer. Adjust tools to match.
* VG_(apply_StackTrace): accept a void* argument, which is passed to
each invokation of the functional parameter (a poor man's closure
implementation).
* move PRINTF_CHECK into put_tool_basics.h, where it should have been
all along
* move private printf-into-an-XArray-of-character functions from
m_debuginfo into m_xarray, and make them public
* gen_suppression itself: use all the above changes. Basically we
always generate the plaintext version into an XArray. In text mode
that's just printed. In XML mode, we print the XMLery as before,
but the plaintext version is dumped into a CDATA block too.
* update the Protocol 4 specification to match all this.
This still isn't 100% right in the sense that the CDATA block data
needs to be split across multiple blocks if it should ever contain the
CDATA end mark "]]>". The Protocol 4 spec has this right even though
the implementation currently doesn't.

consistency.

git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@10742
- Added a manpage for ms_print.
- Added docs/xml/manpages-index.xml, which is just used as a convenient
single file to hang all the man pages off so they can be generated in a
single command.
- Added facility whereby manpage generation will attempt to find the
stylesheet in multiple places. This means I don't have to constantly edit
XSL_MAN_STYLE to build manpages on my machine.
- Changed vg-docs-path to start with $INSTALL instead of /usr/, because we
can't assume that's the installation dir.
