about leaked or reachable blocks)
This patch implements two new memcheck gdbserver monitor commands:
block_list <loss_record_nr>
after a leak search, shows the list of blocks of <loss_record_nr>
who_points_at <addr> [<len>]
shows places pointing inside <len> (default 1) bytes at <addr>
(with len 1, only shows "start pointers" pointing exactly to <addr>,
with len > 1, will also show "interior pointers")
Compiled and reg-tested on f12/x86, deb5/amd64, f16/ppc64.
The 'block_list' command is implemented on top of the
lr_array/lc_chunks/lc_extras arrays used during the last leak search.
NB: no impact on the memory for the typical Valgrind usage where a leak
search is only done at the end of the run.
Printing the block_list of a loss record simply consists in scanning the
lc_chunks to find back the chunks corresponding to the loss record for which
block lists is requested.
The 'who_points_at' command is implemented by doing a scan similar to
(but simpler than) the leak search scan.
lc_scan_memory has been enhanced to have a mode to search for a specific
address, rather than to search for all allocated blocks.
VG_(apply_to_GP_regs) has been enhanced to also provide the ThreadId and
register name in the callback function.
The patch touches multiple files (but most changes are easy/trivial or factorise
existing code).
Most significant changes are in memcheck/mc_leakcheck.c :
* changed the LC_Extra struct to remember the clique for indirect leaks
(size of structure not changed).
* made lr_array a static global
* changed lc_scan_memory:
to have a search mode for a specific address (for who_points_at)
(for leak search) to pass a 'current clique' in addition to the clique
leader
so as to have a proper clique hierarchy for indirectly leaked blocks.
* print_results: reset values at the beginning of the print_result of the
next leak search, rather than at the end of print_results of the previous
leak search.
This allows to continue showing the same info for loss records till a new
leak search is done.
* new function print_clique which recursively prints a group of leaked
blocks, starting from the clique leader.
* new function MC_(print_block_list) : calls print_clique for each clique
leader found for the given loss record.
* static void scan_memory_root_set : code extracted from
MC_(detect_memory_leaks) (no relevant change)
* void MC_(who_points_at) : calls scan_memory_root_set, lc_scan_memory
and VG_(apply_to_GP_regs)(search_address_in_GP_reg) to search
pointers to the given address.

--cmd-time-out
* changed prefixes of Valgrind core monitor commands from vg. to v.
* removed prefixes of Tool monitor commands
* memcheck leak_check 'leakpossible' arg renamed to 'possibleleak'
* memcheck make_memory 'ifaddressabledefined' arg renamed to
'Definedifaddressable'
(with uppercase D to avoid confusion with 'defined' arg).
* vgdb options
- Some doc updates : more logical option order documentation,
specify 'standalone' for options aimed at standalone usage.
- added option --cmd-time-out for standalone vgdb
(comment of Josef Weindendorfer, needed to interface with a callgrind GUI)
* updated tests according to the above.
* updated documentation according to the above.
* some additional minor doc fixes/clarifications

--vgdb-error=N is specified, print a bit of text telling the user the
magic commands to give GDB in order to attach to the process.

Patch that fixes the problem reported by Christian Borntraeger.
The problem was created by keeping the shared memory mapped file opened
without reason till the process does an exec.
In case of a chain of forked processes (without exec), the range of safe_fd
reserved for Valgrind own usage becomes exhausted.
* coregrind/m_gdbserver/remote-utils.c :
do not VG_(safe_fd) shared_mem_fd (as it is now closed directly)
close shared_mem_fd once file is mmap-ed and written.
* gdbserver_tests/nlfork_chain.stderr.exp,nlfork_chain.vgtest,
fork_chain.c,nlfork_chain.stdout.exp:
new files
* gdbserver_tests/Makefile.am:
modified for new nlfork_chain test
