two halves: stacktrace.c, which deals with getting, traversing and printing
stack traces; and execontext.c, which deals with storing stack traces
permanently in a way that avoids duplicates, and comparing them.
One nice outcome: previously we were often creating ExeContexts, which live
forever, even when they were only needed temporarily. Ie. this was a memory
leak, which has been removed.
As part of this, new headers have been created, carved off core.h and
tool.h. Lots of function names have changed, too.
In Massif, I also changed a lot of "eip" names to "ip" to make them less
x86-specific.

overhaul of the thread support. Many things are now probably broken,
but at least with --tool=none, simple and not-so-simple threaded and
non-thread programs work.

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.

which list all the arches/OSes/platforms supported. These are used by
several newly added DIST_SUBDIRS automake commands, which specify that
although when you are building you only want to build for the current
arch/OS/platform, when you do 'make dist' you want every
arch/OS/platform to get included.

state pointer points directly at the ThreadState.arch.vex field, thus
updating it in place and avoiding a lot of code (and time-wasting)
which copies stuff back and forth to baseBlock.
Fix zillions of other places in the system where the current thread id
is needed. It is now passed to all needed places.

- Moved some more syscall wrappers into linux/syscalls.c and
x86-linux/syscalls.c. There are still heaps of wrappers that probably aren't
generic, but I'm not sure, so they're staying in vg_syscalls.c for now.
Let's worry about that when we do an OS port.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@3036
- Moved the system call table into x86-linux, since it's platform specific.
- Started moving the non-generic syscall wrappers into linux/syscalls.c and
x86-linux/syscalls.c as appropriate.
- Added new coregrind/linux/ directory and some files in it.

socketcall() and ipc() which are done too simplistically.
Also, VG_([gs]et_thread_area)() both now return -VKI_EFAULT if they are given a
NULL pointer.

- Added include/x86-linux/ and include/linux/ subdirectories, with Makefile.am
files.
- Overhauled the definitions of kernel types. include/vg_kerneliface.h is now
three files, include/linux/vki.h, include/x86-linux/vki_arch.h, and
include/x86-linux/vki_arch_posixtypes.h. These files separate the
common/Linux and x86/Linux parts cleanly. All code is copied verbatim from
the relevant kernel headers, except that VKI_/vki_ prefixes are added as
necessary to distinguish them from glibc types. (This is done consistently,
unlike previously when some types did not have the prefixes.)
All code is clearly marked to show which particular header file it came from,
and the Linux version used. (I used 2.6.8.1, the most recent stable release,
for all of them.)
A few of the types changed; this is because they changed between the older
versions of Linux and the current 2.6.8.1. I checked that all these changes
were ok with respect to backwards compatibility for our purposes.
- vg_unsafe.h has been removed; we are no longer including any kernel headers,
as we have our own copies for everything. This is because installed kernel
headers are not reliable, and often cause compilation problems. (bug
#92420 is a recent example)
- Removed some no-longer-needed header-presence tests from configure.in.
- Some code in the rest of Valgrind was changed to account for some slight
changes in the names of our VKI_/vki_ kernel constants and types.
- Updated README_MISSING_SYSCALL_OR_IOCTL accordingly.
- Fixed off-by-one error with VKI_GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MAX (merged from stable branch)
The end result is that the kernel types situation should be much clearer, and
similar files can be created relatively easily for other architectures as
necessary.

stage2 as one. This means that we're not hard-wiring stage2 in at 0xb0000000,

I had to change the expected output of pth_once.c, because the change has
altered the order of the (non-deterministic) output.

- Factored out the remaining arch-specific code from vg_libpthread.c.
- Also fixed up the build process for x86/libpthread.c, which was done
wrongly in the previous commit.

of using an assembly hack to find the stack pointer at startup, we find it from
argv. It's much simpler, avoids linking games, is platform independent, and

- removed some assumptions that arch==x86 in Makefile.am files
- removed ume_arch.h; moved its contents into ume.h. There was no need for
these to be separate.
- moved ume_go.c into an x86/ subdir; gave it the more meaningful name
jmp_with_stack.c in the process (the corresponding function also got the name
change)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@2757
- move LDT stuff out of core, into x86-linux specific stuff. Some of it
(VG_(do_useseg)()?) may be really x86-specific, rather than
x86/linux-specific, but that can be fixed later if it's really shared with
another OS.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@2748
- create coregrind/x86-linux/ directory.
- move vg_unistd.h into x86-linux/, because it's platform-dependent. Also
rename it as vki_unistd.h to make clear it's a kernel interface thing.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@2681
- Added include/x86/: contains tool_arch.h, Makefile.am, .cvsignore.
- Added coregrind/x86/state.c. Contains some arch-specific code for dealing
with x86 registers -- eg. setting up the baseBlock, loading/saving the whole
register state. It is compiled into coregrind/x86/libarch.a and linked via
${VG_ARCH} with the core.
Relatedly, also added coregrind/x86/{core_arch.h,core_arch_asm.h}.
- Correspondingly abstracted the register state out of ThreadState. This
affected every place that touches registers, and there are a lot of them.
(Eventually all the register touching should be abstracted out in an
arch-neutral way, but not yet; one step at a time.)
- Added some declarations about register loading/saving functions to core.h;
all architectures will have to provide these functions.
- Rejigged the build system so that the arch-specific stuff is all done via
${VG_ARCH}, rather than naming e.g. x86/ directly. Appropriate -I arguments
are used so that all the headers are found, etc.

bit before "$(subdir)" has to specify the path from .in_place/ to the root.
It just so happened that $(top_builddir) was the same for all directories at
the same level in the hierarchy as .in_place/ (ie. one deep).
(I haven't bothered changing it in all the tool Makefile.am files, because I'll
do that when I factor out all their common bits into a single file, be it
before or after 2.2.0 is released.)

1. It simplifies various things a bit.
2. Valgrind/tools will run out of memory later than currently in many
circumstances. This is good news esp. for Calltree.
Some things were going in V's 128MB heap, and some were going in V's 128MB map
segment. Now all these things are going into a single 256MB map segment.
stage2 has been moved down to 0xb0000000, the start of the 256MB map segment.
The .so files needed by it are placed at 0xb1000000 (that's the map_base).
This required some bootstrapping at startup for memory -- we need to allocate
memory to create the segments skip-list which lets us allocate memory...
solution was to make the first superblock allocated a special static one.
That's pretty simple and enough to get things going.
Removed vg_glibc.c which wasn't doing anything anyway.
Removed VG_(brk) and associated stuff, made all the things that were calling it
call VG_(mmap)() instead.
Removed VG_(valgrind_mmap_end) which was no longer needed.
Rejigged the startup order a bit as necessary.
Moved an important comment from ume.c to vg_main.c where it should be.

segment to be moved up to stage2's brk segment. Instead, Valgrind's
use of brk is simulated with mmap. In order to prevent any unwanted use
of the process brk segment, it also sets the RLIMIT_DATA to 0, which will
make brk always fail. glibc's malloc will use mmap to allocate if brk
fails. We try to intercept glibc's brk, but malloc seems to always use the
library-internal version. (The client's use of brk has always been simulated,
and is unaffected by this change.)

Doesn't fix "make distcheck", however, because this happens:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file ../../coregrind/x86/stage2.lds:
No such file or directory
For some reason I can't work out, that file is built when you make in a CVS
tree, or manually from a "make dist" tarball, but not when you "make
distcheck".

no longer exists. One advantage of this is that global
variables/structures needed for communicating between the two can be made
local. Also, the order in which things happen has been simplified.
This is mostly just a big refactoring. Startup is now a fair bit easier to
understand. Dependencies between the various startup stages are fairly well
documented in comments. Also, --help and --version now work properly --
eg. --help gives tool-specific help if --tool was specified. There is still
some parts where things could be reordered and/or simplified, and where the
dependencies aren't clear. These are marked with 'XXX'.
One new feature was added: ability to read options from ~/.valgrindrc and
./.valgrindrc. Part of this is support for specifying tool-specific options
in the form --toolname:tool-specific-option.
