Also fixup the PRE handler to do the check correctly, using the

adds self-modifying-code checks to all guest code taken from mappings
which are not file backed, but omits checks in code from file backed
mappings. This has the effect of giving complete smc-coverage of JIT
generated code -- since that is invariably generated into anonymous
mapped areas -- without burdening non-JIT generated code with such
checks. Running Firefox 6, --smc-check=all-non-file reduces by a
factor of between 3 and 10 the number of translations requiring a self
check, compared to --smc-check=all. These changes depend on the vex
interface changes in r2158.

fix mcsig(no)pass on arm Ubuntu10, arm thumb internal doc, improve
simulate_control_c
* new file docs/internals/arm_thumb_notes_gdbserver.txt
documentation about the subtilities of the thumb bit handling in gdbsrv.
* made the SIGFPE backtrace filtering less dependent on gdb/os/libc/...
* improved simulate_control_c : runs faster/less dependent on timeout value

gdb 7.0 has problems with next/step/... in ARM thumb code.
* Documented in manual-core.xml that ARM thumb code implies
a gdb version >= 7.1
* m_gdbserver.h/.c : take into account the thumb bit at several places
* use new IRStmt_IMark::delta field to distinguish ARM vs Thumb

add cleanup: line to none/tests/require-text-symbol-2.vgtest
In case Valgrind terminates abnormally, then no cleanup is done.
In this case, the abnormal termination is in the test which checks
--require-text-symbol=:*libc.so*:doesntexist
This patch adds a cleanup: line to the test.

* syswrap-{generic|darwin|aix5}.c : in PRE(sys_execve) : terminate gdbserver
* pub_core_gdbserver.h and m_gdbserver.c : add VG_(gdbserver_prerun_action),
factorising the actions to do by gdbserver at "startup" (i.e. a traced
fork or a traced exec).
* scheduler.c : implement startup action using VG_(gdbserver_prerun_action)

Fix some tests on ppc-debian6,s390x + handled Nick Nethercote, Josef
Weidendorfer comments
* improved testing & related doc
- added option --vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns=yes to mcsig(no)pass.vgtest
+ updated manual-core.xml
- cleanup some comments in *.vgtest
- modified filter_gdb and filter_memcheck_monitor to
handle specific ppc/debian6.0 mcsig(no)pass output
handle specific s390x 'missing debug info'
- added more information in README_DEVELOPPERS on how to
investigate failing gdbserver tests.
* handled Nick Nethercote comment:
Replaced kludgy ms.snapshot detailed
by ms.detailed_snaphot
Updated documentation and test.
* handled Josef Weindendorfer comments:
- do not report an error if ptrace_scope file can't be read.
Instead, a debug trace is done if -d (debug) option given
- added an option -l to give the list of active Valgrind
gdbserver. Useful a.o. to support callgrind_control.
Updated documentation
- added ref. to vgdb help in the vgdb --help message

fix arm thumb by transforming an address to its thumb form when needed
* added a function thumb_pc transforming a pc to its thumb form if needed
(using an heuristic to guess if this is a thumb address)
* when program counter is modified by gdb, use thumb_pc
* use thumb_pc in monitor command vg.translate
(I was able to check that this improves inferior call on a small
thumb compiled executable + mcinfcallRU test) but I could not compile
all tests with thumb).
