info (DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression, DW_CFA_expression,
DW_CFA_val_expression). Mechanism to support all of these is in place
although only DW_CFA_val_expression is currently connected up.
This is really nasty. The basic idea is to partially evaluate each
expression at the debuginfo-reading time by running it on a stack
machine in which each stack element is an expression tree. If the
expression can be 'run' successfully, the tree (dag, really) remaining
at the top of the stack is massaged and put into the DiCfSI record for
that address range. At unwind time the tree is evaluated if needed.
Such cases are in fact extremely rare and so the vast majority of
unwindings use the same mechanism as before.
As a result of all this:
* some obscure cases in glibc-2.5's libpthread.so unwind when they
didn't before
* --debug-dump=frames produces identical output to that of readelf
for libc-2.5.so and associated libpthread.so
* All the action centers around the new type CfiExpr, which is a
union expression-tree type in the same style as IRExpr et al
* Many dark corners of the CFI reader have been looked at and
(re-)validated

reading. Two sets of changes:
* New flags for debugging the readers.
--debug-dump=syms
--debug-dump=line
--debug-dump=frames
These (currently accepted but nonfunctional) are intended to
create output in the style of (that is, identical to)
/usr/bin/readelf --syms
/usr/bin/readelf --debug-dump=line
/usr/bin/readelf --debug-dump=frames
respectively. The plan is that flaws in these readers can then
be easily found by diff-ing the output against that from readelf.
Also, a new flag --trace-symtab-patt=<object filename pattern>
which is used to limit all debuginfo-related debug info to the
set of shared object names matching the given pattern. This
facilitates extracting the debuginfo details of one specific
shared object, which is usually what is required, rather than
having to wade through megabytes of junk from every object in
the process.
* Propagate the avma/svma/image address-naming scheme
(as described at the top of debuginfo.c) through large parts of
readelf.c and readdwarf.c.

that hold various kinds of addresses during debuginfo reading, so as
to make it easier to understand. See comment at top of debuginfo.c.

Changes to support XCOFF:
- allow modules to have 'member names' as well as file names. A member
name is a "foo.o" name inside a "bar.a"; necessary as AIX
keeps all its dynamic libraries in .a files.
- rename the type RiLoc to DiLoc (this holds a line number indication).
No idea why it was called RiLoc in the first place.
- trace changes in type SysRes
- implement VG_(di_aix5_notify_segchange)
