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.

string in valgrind.pc.in, so that they describe Valgrind as a "dynamic
binary instrumentation framework", and don't mention platforms at all.
I had to tweak the regtest filters a bit for this.

run, though. There are lots of stubs to be filled in. (The asm ones currently
just have "swi" in them, which seems to cause seg faults.)
Also, some of the macros are decided dubious, especially:
ARCH_* are bogus
SYSCALL_RET is bogus
PLATFORM_SET_SYSCALL_RESULT is bogus
not sure about SET_SYSCALL_RETVAL
FIRST_STACK_FRAME et al -- bogus?
VG_MAX_JUMPS ?
And in stage2.lds, the 0x8048000 is almost certainly wrong
This required some tweakings of the core:
- some of the vki_*.h kernel types were fixed up
- had to disable the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro in configure.in, because automake
(autoconf?) didn't like it...
- some "#ifdef __x86__" guards were introduced, for nasty x86 things I don't
yet know how to factor out (trampoline page muck, sysinfo page muck).
- fixed a minor stupidity in vg_proxylwp.c.
- moved the ptrace wrapper into the x86-linux part
- had to change the intercept mangling scheme, to use 'J' instead of '$' as the
escape char because GCC didn't like '$'. This is all very dubious, and only
works because none of our intercepted symbols contains a 'J'. To be fixed up
ASAP.

arch-neutral ones like R_STACK_PTR). Where they were used, we now always talk
about an offset into the Vex guest state, and an offset. As a result,
the shadow register get/set functions had to change. They now also use
an offset and size, and in an arch-neutral way.
Also, I combined the five the post_reg_write* functions into a single one that
takes a 'CorePart' parameter (plus also a ThreadId). Also, I added more
arguments (the CorePart, and the ThreadId) to the post_mem_write event, for
consistency with the pre_mem_* events.
Also, I reduced the number of register names that must be specified by each
arch, by factoring out duplication; and shortened their names for the core (eg.
ARCH_STACK_PTR is now STACK_PTR).
Plus some related minor cleanups in syscall wrappers.

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.

- 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.

Mackerras's work.
- introduced arch-neutral macros for getting the instruction/frame/stack
pointers.
- renamed ExeContext.eips as ExeContext.ips
- renamed esp/ebp/eip to sp/fp/ip in several related files and arch-neutralised
various comments
- introduced arch-neutral macros for walking the stack
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@2663
- 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.

threads to have thread-private data which is quickly accessible via a
segment in the GDT, stored in %gs. The patch implements the relevent
syscalls (setthreadarea), and also manages switching the VCPU's segment
information at thread context-switch time. Mostly Tom Hughes' work.

how stack snapshots are taken and printed; they can be used in preference
to VG_(get_ExeContext)() and VG_(pp_ExeContext)(). These are used by
Massif, my heap profiling skin.
Changed --num-callers to allow a backtrace size of 1.
Added code so that when Valgrind fails to disassemble an instruction, the
instructions line/file and address are printed out, which makes it easier to
work out where and what it is. Required the stack snapshot changes above.
MERGE TO STABLE?

from skin's view, replacing all instances with ThreadId. Much cleaner. Had to
change the way VG_(get_ExeContext)() worked a little. Changed the core/skin
major interface because this breaks the old version. Also fixed a few minor
related things here and there.

I really yearn for a proper module system in C. Come back Haskell,

HELGRIND: Add option to record ExeContext for every word access. This
is probably very slow and memory hungry, but it helps make the error
reports more useful. Defaults to off.

from core error ones:
- Split up VG_(panic) into VG_(core_panic) and VG_(skin_panic)
- Likewise, split vg_assert into vg_assert and sk_assert
- Added a new need string: `bug_reports_to'
- Removed VG_(skin_error) which was a previous wussy attempt at this change.
This removed the need for the hacky redeclaration of VG_(skin_error) in
vg_profile.c, which is good.
At the moment, Julian and Nick's email addresses are hard-coded into each skin
individually, rather than using a #define in vg_skin.h, because that didn't
feel quite right to me... jseward@acm.org is still done with a #define for
core errors, though.
