Under Xen the toolstack is responsible for managing the domains in
the system, e.g. creating, destroying, and otherwise manipulating
them.
To do this it uses a number of ioctls on the /proc/xen/privcmd
device. Most of these (the MMAPBATCH ones) simply set things up such
that a subsequenct mmap call will map the desired guest memory. Since
valgrind has no way of knowing what the memory contains we assume
that it is all initialised (to do otherwise would require valgrind to
be observing the complete state of the system and not just the given
process).
The most interesting ioctl is XEN_IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL which
allows the toolstack to make arbitrary hypercalls. Although the
mechanism here is specific to the OS of the guest running the
toolstack the hypercalls themselves are defined solely by the
hypervisor. Therefore I have split support for this ioctl into a part
in syswrap-linux.c which handles the ioctl itself and passes things
onto a new syswrap-xen.c which handles the specifics of the
hypercalls themselves. Porting this to another OS should just be a
matter of wiring up syswrap-$OS.c to decode the ioctl and call into
syswrap-xen.c. In the future we may want to split this into
syswrap-$ARCH-xen.c but for now this is x86 only.
The hypercall coverage here is pretty small but is enough to get
reasonable(-ish) results out of the xl toolstack when listing,
creating and destroying domains.
One issue is that the hypercalls which are exlusively used by the
toolstacks (as opposed to those used by guest operating systems) are
not considered a stable ABI, since the hypervisor and the lowlevel
tools are considered a matched pair. This covers the sysctl and
domctl hypercalls which are a fairly large chunk of the support
here. I'm not sure how to solve this without invoking a massive
amount of duplication. Right now this targets the Xen unstable
interface (which will shortly be released as Xen 4.2), perhaps I can
get away with deferring this problem until the first change .
On the plus side the vast majority of hypercalls are not of interest
to the toolstack (they are used by guests) so we can get away without
implementing them.
Note: a hypercall only reads as many words from the ioctl arg
struct as there are actual arguments to that hypercall and the
toolstack only initialises the arguments which are used. However
there is no space in the DEFN_PRE_TEMPLATE prototype to allow this to
be communicated from syswrap-xen.c back to syswrap-linux.c. Since a
hypercall can have at most 5 arguments I have hackily stolen ARG8 for
this purpose.

Glibc deliberately passes random value for the sixth parameter when calling
FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME. This is a regular case of using the
Futex API, so V should not complain that "Syscall param futex(val3) contains
uninitialised byte(s)", if the futex does not have a specified value initially.
For more info, see function pthread_initialize_minimal_internal at:
glibc/nptl/nptl-init.c.

Allow Valgrind to run on android emulator.

Removing a warning of 'implicit declaration of function vgPlain_get_SP' when
compiled for MIPS. Done by including an appropriate header file.
Also, minor style issue correction for #define PSRAn_BE(n,s,t,a) macro.

This patch fixes incorrect handling of sys_shmdt for MIPS. Linux wrappers have
been added for sys_sigprocmask, sys_timerfd_create, sys_timerfd_gettime, and
sys_timerfd_settime on MIPS.
The bug has been reported at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270777 as
sh_mat issue, and it can be reproduced with shmat-sample.c from
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222545.
The change also fixes sigprocmask from memcheck tests.

* manual-core.xml : fix a typo
* include/pub_tool_inner.h : new file, defining macros for inner annotation
include/Makefile.am : reference this new file.
* syswrap-linux.c : when ENABLE_INNER, register the stacks for the outer.
(otherwise, nothing works properly).
* m_redir.c : avoid inner interpreting the outer vgpreload instructions.
* sema.c : annotate the semaphore with RWLOCK annotations for helgrind
* ticket-lock-linux.c : similar.

* initial support for Pandaboard/Linaro
* on Android/ARM, ask for non-executable stacks in the executables
* disable Memcheck's strcasestr intercept; its use of tolower()
causes the dynamic linker to fail.

bits of assembly which finally cause the thread to exit. How this
ever worked before, on any platform, beats me. The lack was causing
some Android builds to segfault at thread exit. Only the s390 version
was correct.

a bunch of file-related syscalls to be handled on the might-block
syscall path rather than the fast syscall path. This fixes deadlocks
when running some FUSE-specific filesystem codes. Fixes#278057.

VALGRIND_{DISABLE,ENABLE}_ERROR_REPORTING, which allow a thread to
temporarily disable reporting of errors it makes. This is useful for
making Memcheck behave sanely in the presence of some MPI
implementations. Also mark up libmpiwrap.c accordingly.

perf_event_open some time after we added it, so correct the name
wherever it appears to match the current kernel source.
Also fixup the PRE handler to do the check correctly, using the
