6c7e08a8f5 Documentation update. This should bring the core of the documentation
up to date with reality.  Please give this a proofread.

I ran out of steam at memcheck/docs/mc_techdocs.html, which is even more
hopelessly out of date.  I will note that cacheprof.org is some kind of
dental insurance company now...

107c7fac44 Added Valgrind man page. (Ultimately, it would be best if this were
auto-generated from the XML manual somehow, to avoid double maintenance.
Still, put it in for now.)

7c542ccd39 Add new files resulting from merging in the 2.4.0 line. Many of these
seem to be simply duplication of the x86 instruction set tests into
the addrcheck and helgrind trees.  I'm not sure what this duplication
achieves.

7a75a9f583 Overhauled the docs. Removed all the HTML files, put in XML files as
converted by Donna.  Hooked it into the build system so they are only
built when specifically asked for, and when doing "make dist".

They're not perfect;  in particular, there are the following problems:
- The plain-text FAQ should be built from FAQ.xml, but this is not
  currently done.  (The text FAQ has been left in for now.)

- The PS/PDF building doesn't work -- it fails with an incomprehensible
  error message which I haven't yet deciphered.

Nonetheless, I'm putting it in so others can see it.

0db27515b1 Putting "dist_" in front of a "_DATA" variable means it is included in "make
dist".  This avoids the need to put it in "EXTRA_DIST", and saves a few lines
in all the docs Makefile.am files.

fb2d543ee8 Started to rescind the name "skin", replacing it with "tool". Did this in all
the places that normal users will see:

  - command line: --tool=foo (although --skin=foo still works)
  - docs: removed all traces (included renaming coregrind_skins.html to
    coregrind_tools.html)
  - in the usage messages
  - in error messages

Also did in in some places that I judged were unlikely to cause clashes with
existing workspaces:

  - in the header comments of many files (eg. "This file is part of Memcheck, a
    Valgrind tool for...")
  - in the regtests script
  - in the .supp files
  - in AUTHORS
  - in README_MISSING_SYSCALL_OR_IOCTL

Also update the AUTHORS file to mention Jeremy.

4eac75bf3e Fix some bugs in syscall/signal handling:
If the proxyLWP for a thread got a signal just as we were sending the
syscall request to it, then we would end up running the syscall twice.
The fix is to not check the results pipe while sending the syscall request
- wait until we're in a better state for handling signals (the deadlock
the results-read was supposed to avoid cannot actually happen).

Related to that, if we're delivering a signal to a thread, and that thread
is currently waiting for a syscall to complete, make sure we collect the
syscall results before entering the signal handler (otherwise we may end
up bogusly trying to restart the syscall by moving EIP back, even though
it now points to the signal handler rather than the syscall instruction)

This change also adds an assertion to VG_(restart_syscall) to make sure
we were actually restarting a syscall and not just randomly changing EIP
(this found the problem above).

Also, make set/getitimer run in the proxyLWP context, so that they
modify/read the proxyLWP's timers rather than the schedluer LWP's timers.

646c7b9b91 Documentation changes only.
Added a couple of links to the "Valgrind skins" doc, because there were none.

Added a section "suggested skins" in the "Valgrind skins" doc, just in case it
inspires anyone in user-land.

5fd0ef7ca3 Just call me Mr Brain-Dead Moron. Move the documentation sources to
where I _should_ have put them in the first place, and fix up the
Makefile.am's accordingly.  'make' and 'make install' now work.

5d93498d4d Add documentation back in, in its new form. Still all very rough and
totally borked, but pretty much all the duplication is gone, and there
is a good start on a common core section in
coregrind/coregrind_core.html.  At least I know where I'm going with
all this now.

The Makefile.am's need to be fixed up.

Basic idea is that, when put together in a single directory, these
files make a coherent manual, starting at manual.html.  Fortunately
:-) "make install" does exactly that -- copies them to a single
directory.

After redundancy removal, there's more that 38000 words of
documentation here, according to wc.  Amazing.
