seconday platform (x86 and ppc32, respectively) is not available.
Add -DVGA_SEC_xxxxx and -DVGP_SEC_... to the GCC command line
indicating that a seconday platform is supported. Make arch_test.c
recognise those flags.
Fixes bugzilla #296983.

* perf/vg_perf:
Similarly to tests/vg_regtest, perf/vg_perf now accepts the 3
optional arguments:
--outer-valgrind
--outer-tool
--outer-args
This allows easy analysis or comparison of performance between
different Valgrind versions (e.g. using callgrind, or cachegrind/cg_diff).
* See README_DEVELOPERS for more details.
* vg_regtest modified so as to use the 'in-place' build of inner, rather
than the installed version.
* added option --smc-check=all-non-file to vg_perf and vg_regtest
outer default arguments (needed when evaluating a Valgrind which does
translation chaining).

instruction support -- VEX side changes. See #295221.
This patch adds test cases. Also adds some minor Memcheck
instrumentation tweaks necessitated by the IR changes.

A '3 lines how to':
perl tests/vg_regtest --outer-valgrind=../trunk_untouched/install/bin/valgrind --all
(the outer results for a test xxx is in xxx.outer.log)
To run with another tool (e.g. drd), add the argument --outer-tool=drd
Still to do/things to improve:
* Most (inner) tests are successful when running under an outer
memcheck. Need to analyse the reasons of remaining failures.
* The memcheck annotations in m_mallocfree.c can be improved:
- A superblock is marked 'undefined', it should rather be marked
'no access'.
- When a free block is splitted, the remaining free block is
not made 'no access'. Instead, it is made 'undefined'.
=> this decreases the chance to find bugs.
=> this is not very efficient (e.g. the rest of a superblock
is often marked undefined repetitively).
Similarly, the free block created by VG_(arena_memalign)
is marked 'undefined'. 'No access' would be preferrable.
- mkInuseBlock marks the new block as undefined. This is probably
not needed, as VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK will do it already.
- VG_(arena_malloc) should give the requested size to
VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK, not the malloc usable size,
as this decreases the chance to find buffer overrun bugs.
But giving the requested size is tricky (see comments in
the code).
* need to do memcheck annotations in m_poolalloc.c
so as to allow leak checking for pool allocated elements.
* vg_regtest.in
- should analyse the results of the outer and should
produce a separate result for the tests for which
the outer detects an error or a memory leak or ...
Changes done:
README_DEVELOPERS: document the new outer/inner features.
manual-core.xml: document the new sim-hint no-inner-prefix
tests/outer_inner.supp: new file, containing the suppressions for inner.
vg_regtest.in: implement new args --outer-valgrind, --outer-tool, --outer-args.
m_mallocfree.c: annotations for memcheck.
m_libcprint.c: handle the new sim-hint no-inner-prefix
m_main.c: do an (early) parse of --sim-hints

and update exp files accordingly. This works well for x86
and all testcases pass on my machine.
New file filter_memcheck to do the work.
There is a bit of a ripple here as filter_memcheck requires
command line arguments to be passed in. So all users of
filter_memcheck (direct or indirect) were updated as well.
filter_stderr was simplified as was filter_libc.

bucket. Instead of removing what we don't want to see in a backtrace
(e.g. path segments through libc and libpthread), we simply keep what
we do want to see. That way .exp files can be generic.
We need to make sure that GCC inlining does not get in the way. So all
the ..._WRK function in hg_intercepts.c are attributed as noinline.
The backtrace filtering is done in the new filter_helgrind script.
filter_stderr is simplified quite a bit.

The testcase was executed despite uname -r being 2.6.9-42.EL

which is a minimum version number. Use os_test in the
prerequisite expression.

on various platforms:
* In all gdbserver_tests using gdb:
Made a more general way to remove the initial start message.
* tests using threads burning cpu modified to have only 1 thread.
This makes them independent of the scheduler fairness.
* filter_gdb and filter_vgdb enhanced to anonymise
some debian 6.0/ppc specific things
some s390x/gdb 7.0, gdb 7.1 specific things
* vgdb.c: added an #include <linux/ptrace.h> to fix compilation
on s390x fedora and suse. (Christian Boerntrager)
* fixed a bug in valgrind-low.c debug log :
when a register size is 0, its image cannot be output (and register
should not be transferred).
* added a parameter --keep-unfiltered to vg_regtest.in
This will make it easier to update filter_gdb:
in case gdbserver_tests are failing due to "artificial"
differences to be filtered, re-run the tests using:
perl tests/vg_regtest --keep-unfiltered gdbserver_tests
Then a tar file with all the *.out in gdbserver_tests
will allow me to better/faster update the filter_gdb.
* made a better detection of a working PTRACE_GETREGS at compile time
and/or at run-time.

VALGRIND_{PRINTF,PRINTF_BACKTRACE,INTERNAL_PRINTF} were no longer appending
newlines. This meant that --trace-malloc=yes spewed everything onto a
single line, among other things.
Rather than adding the newline back in, I chose to offically change their
behaviour to not add the newlines, as this is more flexible (and the reason
for the underlying VG_(message) change). I updated all the relevant places
I could find.

following improvements:
- Arch/OS/platform-specific files are now included/excluded via the
preprocessor, rather than via the build system. This is more consistent
(we use the pre-processor for small arch/OS/platform-specific chunks
within files) and makes the build system much simpler, as the sources for
all programs are the same on all platforms.
- Vast amounts of cut+paste Makefile.am code has been factored out. If a
new platform is implemented, you need to add 11 extra Makefile.am lines.
Previously it was over 100 lines.
- Vex has been autotoolised. Dependency checking now works in Vex (no more
incomplete builds). Parallel builds now also work. --with-vex no longer
works; it's little use and a pain to support. VEX/Makefile is still in
the Vex repository and gets overwritten at configure-time; it should
probably be renamed Makefile-gcc to avoid possible problems, such as
accidentally committing a generated Makefile. There's a bunch of hacky
copying to deal with the fact that autotools don't handle same-named files
in different directories. Julian plans to rename the files to avoid this
problem.
- Various small Makefile.am things have been made more standard automake
style, eg. the use of pkginclude/pkglib prefixes instead of rolling our
own.
- The existing five top-level Makefile.am include files have been
consolidated into three.
- Most Makefile.am files now are structured more clearly, with comment
headers separating sections, declarations relating to the same things next
to each other, better spacing and layout, etc.
- Removed the unused exp-ptrcheck/tests/x86 directory.
- Renamed some XML files.
- Factored out some duplicated dSYM handling code.
- Split auxprogs/ into auxprogs/ and mpi/, which allowed the resulting
Makefile.am files to be much more standard.
- Cleaned up m_coredump by merging a bunch of files that had been
overzealously separated.
The net result is 630 fewer lines of Makefile.am code, or 897 if you exclude
the added Makefile.vex.am, or 997 once the hacky file copying for Vex is
removed. And the build system is much simpler.

I tried using 'svn merge' to do the merge but it did a terrible job and
there were bazillions of conflicts. So instead I just took the diff between
the branch and trunk at r10155, applied the diff to the trunk, 'svn add'ed
the added files (no files needed to be 'svn remove'd) and committed.
