--fill-free=<hexnumber>, which cause malloc'd(etc) and free'd(etc)
blocks to be filled with the specified value. This can apparently be
useful for shaking out hard-to-track-down memory corruption. The
definedness/addressability of said areas is not affected -- only the
contents. Documentation to follow.

Makefile.am changes for AIX5. Almost all boilerplate stuff fitting in
with the existing factorisation scheme. The only change of interest
is that configure.in now generates automake symbols of name
VGP_platform and VGO_os, whereas previously it just made VG_platform
which was a bit inconsistent with the VGP/VGO/VGA scheme used in C
code.

stores of char/short/int/int64/double at random offsets and hence
alignments in an array. It does it in a way in which the computation
just computes the expected V bits, and hence can check whether these
seem correct.

Memcheck, replacing the 9-bits-per-byte shadow memory representation to a
2-bits-per-byte representation (with possibly a little more on the side) by
taking advantage of the fact that extremely few memory bytes are partially
defined.
For the SPEC2k benchmarks with "test" inputs, this speeds up Memcheck by a
(geometric mean) factor of 1.20, and reduces the size of shadow memory by a
(geometric mean) factor of 4.26.
At the same time, Addrcheck is removed. It hadn't worked for quite some
time, and with these improvements in Memcheck its raisons-d'etre have
shrivelled so much that it's not worth the effort to keep around. Hooray!
Nb: this code hasn't been tested on PPC. If things go wrong, look first in
the fast stack-handling functions (eg. mc_new_mem_stack_160,
MC_(helperc_MAKE_STACK_UNINIT)).

* test all wrapped-function arities from 0 to 12
* try hard to run both callers and callees out of integer registers,
so as to detect problems where the CALL_FN_* macros do not
properly save registers around the call
This will cause failure in building the regtests on all non-x86
platforms. Will fix shortly.

except x86; fixes for amd64/ppc32 to follow.

distinction between primary and secondary build targets, and (2) make
it independent of the default behaviour of gcc (iow, what gcc does
when you specify neither -m32 nor -m64).
As a result, an out-of-the-box build on ppc64-linux now builds a
system which is basically for 64-bit PowerPC, but also has the ability
to run 32-bit ppc-linux binaries (exactly the same arrangement as you
get when building on amd64-linux).
There are various twists and turns. multiple-architectures.txt is
updated all the gory details.
This will break amd64 builds until such time as
<tool>/tests/{amd64,x86}/Makefile.am are fixed up (shortly).

system that allows multiple copies of valgrind to be built so that we
can build both x86 and amd64 versions of the tools on amd64 machines.
The launcher is then modified to look at the program being run and
decide which tool to use to run it.

the old style sigprocmask system call correctly without corrupting
memory when we copy out the new (larger) signal mask into the user
provided old (smaller) signal mask.
It therefore makes no sense to run it on amd64 or any other platform
which only has the newer rt_sigprocmask system call, and indeed it
wasn't working because we weren't passing the extra argument which
that call expects.

changes from r4341 through r4787 inclusive). That branch is now dead.
Please do not commit anything else to it.
For the most part the merge was not troublesome. The main areas of
uncertainty are:
- build system: I had to import by hand Makefile.core-AM_CPPFLAGS.am
and include it in a couple of places. Building etc seems to still
work, but I haven't tried building the documentation.
- syscall wrappers: Following analysis by Greg & Nick, a whole lot of
stuff was moved from -generic to -linux after the branch was created.
I think that is satisfactorily glued back together now.
- Regtests: although this appears to work, no .out files appear, which
is strange, and makes it hard to diagnose regtest failures. In
particular memcheck/tests/x86/scalar.stderr.exp remains in a
conflicted state.
- amd64 is broken (slightly), and ppc32 will be unbuildable. I'll
attend to the former shortly.

- Broke part of m_scheduler off into a new module m_threadstate. It
contains ThreadState, VG_(threads)[] and some basic operations on the
thread table. All simple stuff, the complex stuff stays in m_scheduler.
This avoids lots of circular dependencies between m_scheduler and other
modules.
- Managed to finally remove core.h and tool.h, double hurrah!
- Introduced pub_tool_basics.h and pub_core_basics.h, one of which is
include by every single C file.
- Lots of little cleanups and changes related to the above.
- I even did a small amount of documentation updating.
