support to Memcheck for tracking the origin of uninitialised values,
if you use the --track-origins=yes flag.
This currently causes some Memcheck regression tests to fail, because
they now print an extra line of advisory text in their output. This
will be fixed.
The core-tool interface is slightly changed. The version number for
the interface needs to be incremented.

the new thread's stack, then make the stack unwinder use that information
to make a better guess at the stack bounds.
This helps avoid crashes trying to unwind the stack under wine when
the starting point is a routine without a proper stack frame.

interface:
r6805: Modify two thread-notification events in the core-tool
interface. This removes track_post_thread_create and
track_post_thread_join. The core can only see low level thread
creation and exiting, and has no idea about pthread-level concepts
like "pthread_create" and "pthread_join", so these are a bit
ambiguous.
Replace them with track_pre_thread_ll_create, which is notified before
a new thread makes any memory references, and
track_pre_thread_ll_exit, which is notified just before the new thread
exits, that is, after it has made its last memory reference.
r6823: Core-tool interface: give 'needs_tool_errors' an extra Boolean
indicating whether or not the core should print thread id's on error
messages.

- extend some to 2007
- use njn@valgrind.org instead of njn25@cam.ac.uk
- use "tool" instead of "skin"

- track SysRes changes
- track VG_(am_find_nsegment) const-ness change
- increase number of client syscall args supported from 6 to 8
- simplify type SyscallStatus. Simply hold a copy of the SysRes
for the syscall rather than have this be a data structure
incorporating something very similar to the fields of a SysRes,
and more besides. Change various macros in priv_types_n_macros.h
to match.
- syswrap-main.c: instantiate the various impedance-matching
functions for AIX.

clever idea. There's no reason to assume the assembler is in
.text-mode when it encounters them, and as gcc 2.96 rudely
demonstrates, sometimes it isn't. So put .text in front of all of
them.

have no idea how these work (what's there is a conceptual transcription of
what we have for x86-linux) and so if those of you more Skilled In The Art
Of Signals than myself would care to peer at it, that would be appreciated.

source it turns out that there are five different versions of mmap for
the three platforms we currently support:
- On x86-linux there is mmap (aka old_mmap) which takes the
arguments in a memory block and the offset in bytes; and
mmap2 (aka sys_mmap2) which takes the arguments in the normal
way and the offset in pages.
- On ppc32-linux there is mmap (aka sys_mmap) which takes the
arguments in the normal way and the offset in bytes; and
mmap2 (aka sys_mmap2) which takes the arguments in the normal
way and the offset in pages.
- On amd64-linux everything is simple and there is just the one
call, mmap (aka sys_mmap) which takes the arguments in the normal
way and the offset in bytes.
To reconcile all this I have created a generic handler and then
written five platform specific wrappers which normalise all the
arguments and then call the generic handler.
I have also modified the address space manager to use mmap2 rather
than mmap on x86 and ppc32 so that large offsets can be correctly
handled.
There is still an issue of OffT truncating offsets as we go through
the address space manager that will need to be addressed.
