this, --show-below-main is now visible to tools, and Massif pays attention
to it.
Improved the description of --show-below-main=yes in the manual.
Replaced some instances of "__libc_start_main" in the test *.exp files with
"(below main)", which is what will actually be seen. Also updated
scalar.stderr.exp*, which should make it get closer to actually passing.

that are memory offsets) with PtrdiffT; OffT should only be used for file
sizes and offsets.
Change Off64T from a ULong to a Long, as it should be. Replace some uses
of ULong in the address space manager with Off64T to match.
Also add a comment explaining the meanings of the basic types like Addr,
OffT, SizeT, etc.
Also fix the prototype for VG_(pread) -- the last arg is an OffT, not an
Int.

stack unwind mechanism (the function VG_(record_ExeContext) et al),
clears up some associated kludges, and makes suppression matching work
more reliably.
Prior to this commit, a stack snapshot contained, at [0], the IP of
the relevant thread, and at all positions [1] and above, the return
addresses for the open calls.
When showing a snapshot to the user (in VG_(apply_StackTrace)), and
searching the stack for stack blocks (in VG_(get_data_description)), 1
is subtracted from positions [1] and above, so as to move these return
addresses back to the last byte of the calling instruction. This
subtraction is also done even in VG_(get_StackTrace_wrk) itself, in
order to make the stack unwinding work at all.
It turns out that suppression-vs-function-name matching requires the
same hack, and sometimes failed to match suppressions that should
match, because of this self-same problem.
So the commit changes the stack unwinder itself, so that entries [1]
and above point to the last byte of the call instruction, rather than
the return address. The associated kludges in VG_(apply_StackTrace)
and VG_(get_StackTrace_wrk) are removed, and suppression matching is
observed to work in a case where it failed before.

matching, in the function VG_(generic_match). Patterns to be matched
against may contain only '*'-style wildcards (matches any number of
elements, we don't care what they are), '?' wildcards (matches exactly
one element, we don't care what it is) and literal elements.
It is totally abstractified, in the sense that the pattern and input
arrays may be arrays of anything. The caller provides enough
information so that VG_(generic_match) can step along both arrays, and
can ask the questions "is this pattern element a '*' ?", "is this
pattern element a '?' ?", and "does this pattern element match an
input element ?".
The existing function VG_(string_match) is reimplemented using
VG_(generic_match), although the ability to escape metacharacters in
the pattern string is removed -- I don't think it was ever used.
In m_errormgr, matching of suppression stacks (including wildcard
"..." lines) against error stacks is re-implemented using
VG_(generic_match).
Further detailed comments are in m_seqmatch.h and pub_tool_seqmatch.h.
A negative side effect is that VG_(string_match) will be much slower
than before, due to the abstractification. It may be necessary to
reimplement a specialised version later.

which is also indexed by UWord. This can be used as a replacement for
WordFM with unboxed keys, when the key ranges are dense. It is
implemented as a 256-way radix tree (4-deep on 32-bit platforms,
8-deep on 64-bit platforms).

the conflicting-access machinery itself is about 20% faster.

m_debuginfo/readdwarf3.c to get its space usage under control, and
changes throughout the system to enable heap-use profiling.

helgrind/ into the core. It's just too darn useful to not be in the
core. There is some overlap in functionality between OSet and WordFM,
but OSet is more space efficient in some circumstances, whereas WordFM
is easier to use and a bit more flexible in some cases.
Also in this new module (m_wordfm) is a type WordBag, build on top of
WordFM. This provides Multiset of UWords functionality.

family of syscalls is impossible to write in a way that's portable and
correct. On some targets (eg x86-linux) you need to do sys_stat64 and
receive the results in a 'struct vki_stat64'. But on other targets
(eg amd64-linux) neither sys_stat64 nor 'struct vki_stat64' exist.
This commit adds a new type, 'struct vg_stat', which contains 64 bit
fields in all the right places, and makes VG_(stat) and VG_(fstat) use
it. This means callers to the two functions no longer need to worry
about the is-it-64-bit-clean-or-not question, since these routines
reformat the received data into a'struct vg_stat'. Kind of like what
glibc must have been doing for decades.
This (indirectly) fixes a bug on x86-linux, in which m_debuginfo would
sometimes fail to read debug info, due to VG_(di_notify_mmap) using
VG_(stat) (hence sys_stat) on the file, which failed, and when in fact
it should have used sys_stat64. Bug reported and tracked down by
Marc-Oliver Straub.

hardwire the assumption that an inode number is a UWord, that is, a
host word. There's no reason for that assumption to be valid; an
inode number could be a 64-bit int even on a 32 bit platform (eg w.r.t
sys_stat64). This commit changes inode numbers and, for good measure,
dev numbers, to be 64-bit regardless.

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.

of VG_(record_ExeContext), which just records the first stack frame
but does not attempt to unwind the (guest) stack. This is useful in
situations where we suspect unwinding the stack might cause a
segfault.
Use this in m_signals, when getting a backtrace following a guest
segfault.
