What this does is to make sure that the initial client data segment
is marked as unaddressable. This is consistent with the behaviour of
brk when the data segment is shrunk. The "freed" memory is marked
as unaddressable.
Special tweaks were needed for s390 which was returning early from
the funtion to avoid sloppy register definedness initialisation.

adler32 is not very good as a hash function.
sdbm_hash gives more different keys that adler32,
and in a large majority of the cases, shorter chains.

The VG_(extend_stack) call needs to be properly guarded because the
passed-in address is not necessarily part of an extensible stack
segment. And an extensible stack segment is the only thing that
function should have to deal with.
Previously, the function VG_(am_addr_is_in_extensible_client_stack)
was introduced to guard VG_(extend_stack) but it was not added in all
places it should have been.
Also, extending the client stack during signal delivery (in sigframe-common.c)
was simply calling VG_(extend_stack) hoping it would do the right thing.
But that was not always the case. The new testcase
none/tests/linux/pthread-stack.c exercises this (3.10.1 errors out on it).
Renamed ML_(sf_extend_stack) to ML_(sf_maybe_extend_stack) and add
proper guard logic for VG_(extend_stack).

with GCC 4.9. To avoid generating the "note", the passing of the arguments
were changed to a pointer to make it pass by reference rather then pass by

transactional memory instruction summary information. This register contains
the upper 32-bits of the transaction information. Note, the valgrind
implementation of transactional memory instructions is limited. Currently, the
contents of the TEXASRU register will always return 0. The lower 64-bits of
the trasnaction information in the TEXASR register will contain the failure
information as setup by Valgrind.
The vex commit 3143 contains the changes needed to support the TEXASRU
register on PPC64.
The support requires changing the value of MAX_REG_WRITE_SIZE in
memcheck/mc_main.c from 1696 to 1712. The change is made in this
valgrind commit.

git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@15128
Otherwise, long running applications still see the max nr of RCEC
slowly growing, which increases the memory usage and
makes the (fixed) contextTab hash table slower to search.
Without this margin, the max could increase as the GC code
is not called at exactly the moment we reach the previous max,
but rather when a thread has run a bunch of basic blocks.

conflict cache size.
The current policy is:
A 'more or less' LRU policy is implemented by giving
to each OldRef a generation nr in which it was last touched.
A new generation is created every 50000 new access.
GC is done when the nr of OldRef reaches --conflict-cache-size.
The GC consists in removing enough generations to free
half of the entries.
After GC of OldRef, the RCEC (Ref Counted Exe Contexts)
not referenced anymore are GC-ed.
The new policy is:
An exact LRU policy is implemented using a doubly linked list
of OldRef.
When reaching --conflict-cache-size, the LRU entry is re-used.
The not referenced RCEC are GC-ed when less than 75% of the RCEC
are referenced, and the nr of RCEC is 'big' (at least half the
size of the contextTab, and at least the max nr of RCEC reached
previously).
(note: tried to directly recover a unref'ed RCEC when recovering
the LRU oldref, but that gives a lot of re-creation of RCEC).
new policy has the following advantages/disadvantages:
1. It is faster (at least for big applications)
On a firefox startup/exit, we gain about 1m30 second on 11m.
Similar 5..10% speed up encountered on other big applications
or on the new perf/memrw test.
The speed increase depends on the amount of memory
touched by the application. For applications with a
working set fitting in conflict-cache-size, the new policy
might be marginally slower than previous policy on platforms
having a small cache : the current policy only sets a generation
nr when an address is re-accessed, while the new policy
has to unchain and rechain the OldRef access in the LRU
doubly linked list.
2. It uses less memory (at least for big applications)
Firefox startup/exit "core" arena max use decreases from
1175MB mmap-ed/1060MB alloc-ed
to
994MB mmap-ed/913MB alloc-ed
The decrease in memory is the result of having a lot less RCEC:
The current policy let the nr of RCEC grow till the conflict
cache size is GC-ed.
The new policy limits the nr of RCEC to 133% of the RCEC
really referenced. So, we end up with a max nr of RCEC
a lot smaller with the new policy : max RCEC 191000
versus 1317000, for a total nr of discard RCEC operations
almost the same: 33M versus 32M.
Also, the current policy allocates a big temporary array
to do the GC of OldRef.
With the new policy, size of an OldRef increases because
we need 2 pointers for the LRU doubly linked list, and
we need the accessed address.
In total, the OldRef increase is limited to one Word,
as we do not need anymore the gen, and the 'magic'
for sanity check was removed (the check somewhat
becomes less needed, because an OldRef is never freed
anymore. Also, we do a new cross-check between
the ga in the OldRef and the sparseWA key).
For applications using small memory and having
a small nr of different stack traces accessing memory,
the new policy causes an increase in memory (one Word
per OldRef).
3. Functionally, the new policy gives better past information:
once the steady state is reached (i.e. the conflict cache
is full), the new policy has always --conflict-cache-size
entries of past information.
The current policy has a nr of past information varying
between --conflict-cache-size/2 and --conflict-cache-size
(so in average, 75% of conflict-cache-size).
4. The new code is a little bit smaller/simpler:
The generation based GC is replaced by a simpler LRU policy.
So, in summary, this patch should allow big applications
to use less cpu/memory, while having very little
or no impact on memory/cpu of small applications.
Note that the OldRef data structure LRU policy
is not really explicitely tested by a regtest.
Not easy at first sight to make such a test portable
between platforms/OS/compilers/....
