This commit tidies up and rationalises what could be called the
"messaging" system -- that part of V to do with presenting output to
the user. In particular it brings significant improvements to XML
output.
Changes are:
* XML and normal text output now have separate file descriptors,
which solves longstanding problems for XML consumers caused by
the XML output getting polluted by unexpected non-XML output.
* This also means that we no longer have to hardwire all manner
of output settings (verbosity, etc) when XML is requested.
* The XML output format has been revised, cleaned up, and made
more suitable for use by error detecting tools in general
(various Memcheck-specific features have been removed). XML
output is enabled for Ptrcheck and Helgrind, and Memcheck is
updated to the new format.
* One side effect is that the behaviour of VG_(message) has been
made to be consistent with printf: it no longer automatically
adds a newline at the end of the output. This means multiple
calls to it can be used to build up a single line message; or a
single call can write a multi-line message. The ==pid==
preamble is automatically inserted at each newline.
* VG_(message)(Vg_UserMsg, ..args..) now has the abbreviated form
VG_(UMSG)(..args..); ditto VG_(DMSG) for Vg_DebugMsg and
VG_(EMSG) for Vg_DebugExtraMsg. A couple of other useful
printf derivatives have been added to pub_tool_libcprint.h,
most particularly VG_(vcbprintf).
* There's a small change in the core-tool interface to do with
error handling: VG_(needs_tool_errors) has a new method
void (*before_pp_Error)(Error* err) which, if non-NULL, is
called just before void (*pp_Error)(Error* err). This is to
give tools the chance to look at errors before any part of them
is printed, so they can print any XML preamble they like.
* coregrind/m_errormgr.c has been overhauled and cleaned up, and
is a bit simpler and more commented. In particular pp_Error
and VG_(maybe_record_error) are significantly changed.
The diff is huge, but mostly very boring. Most of the changes
are of the form
- VG_(message)(Vg_UserMsg, "this is a message %d", n);
+ VG_(message)(Vg_UserMsg, "this is a message %d\n", n);
Unfortunately as a result of this, it touches a large number
of source files.

now has its own copy of custom_alloc.c which is a little different to
Memcheck's; making them both work with the same version was too difficult.

code section which is marked as uninitialised.
This can happen if you have incremental linking enabled in Visual
Studio, which causes a .textbss section to be added before the real
text section. We were picking up that .textbss section and using it to
compute the avma and bias for the code which was giving completely the
wrong results.

This branch adds proper support for atomic instructions, proper in the
sense that the atomicity is preserved through the compilation
pipeline, and thus in the instrumented code.
These changes track the IR changes added by vex r1901. They primarily
update the instrumentation functions in all tools to handle the
changes, with the exception of exp-ptrcheck, which needs some further
work in order to be able to run threaded code.

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.

- Put Darwin syscall DECL_TEMPLATEs in syscall order.
- Removed the "sys_" prefix from Darwin-specific wrappers, it's not
necessary. Renamed a couple of other wrappers similarly.
- Removed the sys_fcntl64 Darwin wrapper, it was unused.
- Improved some code layout.
Overall this removes 6 "DDD"/"GrP" fixme comments.

and reject attempts to use it. This is because the hardware does not
allow entry zero to be used, and apparently doing so confuses some
code (perhaps Windows apps running on Wine). Derived from a patch by
John Reiser.

- Introduced VG_SYSNUM_STRING and VG_SYSNUM_STRING_EXTRA which factor out
differences in the way syscall numbers are printed on different platforms.
This gets rid of seven "DDD" fixme-style comments.
- This also meant that Darwin syscall numbers are now printed in a
non-ambiguous way -- previously Unix, machine-dependent and diagnostic
syscalls were all printed the same way, even though their numbers overlap.
Now each number is prefixed with "unix", "mdep", etc. And Mach trap
numbers aren't printed as negative numbers now that they have a "mach"
prefix.
- Split each of pub_core_vkiscnums.h and pub_tool_vkiscnums.h into two
parts, one suitable for inclusion in asm files, one suitable for inclusion
in C files; in both cases the latter includes the former. This makes
this module more like other modules that have asm-only components (eg.
m_transtab); it also allows the hacky VG_IN_ASSEMBLY_SOURCE macros and
tests to be removed.
- Removed some of the VG_DARWIN_SYSNO_* macros that were no longer needed,
and renamed some of the existing ones to make their meanings clearer.
- Added comments on the encoding of Darwin syscall numbers so it's
possible for mortals to understand without reading the kernel code..
