clever idea. There's no reason to assume the assembler is in
.text-mode when it encounters them, and as gcc 2.96 rudely
demonstrates, sometimes it isn't. So put .text in front of all of
them.

with respect to syscalls. It is detailed and comprehensive but does
not offer a way to deal with minor deviations in behaviour from the
vanilla kernel sources, either due to running a hacked kernel or
running a vanilla kernel with a custom kernel module loaded.
This commit adds a flexible way to handle such cases without polluting
the vanilla handler syswrap-*.c files or their supporting vki_*.h
header files. For each OS, a syswrap-OS-variants.c file is added,
containing wrappers for variants of OS. A new command line flag
--kernel-variants= carries a comma separated list of variant names
that apply to the current run. There are no other changes.

source it turns out that there are five different versions of mmap for
the three platforms we currently support:
- On x86-linux there is mmap (aka old_mmap) which takes the
arguments in a memory block and the offset in bytes; and
mmap2 (aka sys_mmap2) which takes the arguments in the normal
way and the offset in pages.
- On ppc32-linux there is mmap (aka sys_mmap) which takes the
arguments in the normal way and the offset in bytes; and
mmap2 (aka sys_mmap2) which takes the arguments in the normal
way and the offset in pages.
- On amd64-linux everything is simple and there is just the one
call, mmap (aka sys_mmap) which takes the arguments in the normal
way and the offset in bytes.
To reconcile all this I have created a generic handler and then
written five platform specific wrappers which normalise all the
arguments and then call the generic handler.
I have also modified the address space manager to use mmap2 rather
than mmap on x86 and ppc32 so that large offsets can be correctly
handled.
There is still an issue of OffT truncating offsets as we go through
the address space manager that will need to be addressed.

that layout policy is controlled from one place only.

and so is not part of a module cycle. This requires a moderately
grotty hack of passing a continuation-function pointer in a global
variable.

changes from r4341 through r4787 inclusive). That branch is now dead.
Please do not commit anything else to it.
For the most part the merge was not troublesome. The main areas of
uncertainty are:
- build system: I had to import by hand Makefile.core-AM_CPPFLAGS.am
and include it in a couple of places. Building etc seems to still
work, but I haven't tried building the documentation.
- syscall wrappers: Following analysis by Greg & Nick, a whole lot of
stuff was moved from -generic to -linux after the branch was created.
I think that is satisfactorily glued back together now.
- Regtests: although this appears to work, no .out files appear, which
is strange, and makes it hard to diagnose regtest failures. In
particular memcheck/tests/x86/scalar.stderr.exp remains in a
conflicted state.
- amd64 is broken (slightly), and ppc32 will be unbuildable. I'll
attend to the former shortly.

things. These made sense when the arch/OS/platform-specific code was in
one module, but as that code got mixed in with generic code the boundary
between generic and non-generic blurred, and the distinction made less
sense. So let's get rid of them.

module-local, use the new ML_ prefix instead of VG_. This makes it
trivial to see which names are those exported from public module
interfaces: precisely those using VG_.
/* VG_ is for symbols exported from modules. ML_ (module-local) is
for symbols which are not intended to be visible outside modules,
but which cannot be declared as C 'static's since they need to be
visible across C files within a given module. It is a mistake for
a ML_ name to appear in a pub_core_*.h or pub_tool_*.h file.
Likewise it is a mistake for a VG_ name to appear in a priv_*.h
file.

Plenty still to do, but simple programs like ls seem to run ok
Thanks, Paul, for having your ppc port of valgrind 2.4 to work from!

- Broke part of m_scheduler off into a new module m_threadstate. It
contains ThreadState, VG_(threads)[] and some basic operations on the
thread table. All simple stuff, the complex stuff stays in m_scheduler.
This avoids lots of circular dependencies between m_scheduler and other
modules.
- Managed to finally remove core.h and tool.h, double hurrah!
- Introduced pub_tool_basics.h and pub_core_basics.h, one of which is
include by every single C file.
- Lots of little cleanups and changes related to the above.
- I even did a small amount of documentation updating.
