At various places, there were either some assumption that the 'end'
boundary (highest address) was either not included, included,
or was the highest addressable word, or the highest addressable byte.
This e.g. was very visible when doing:
./vg-in-place -d -d ./helgrind/tests/tc01_simple_race|&grep regi
giving
--24040:2:stacks register 0xBEDB4000-0xBEDB4FFF as stack 0
--24040:2:stacks register 0x402C000-0x4A2C000 as stack 1
showing that the main stack end was (on x86) not the highest word
but the highest byte, while for the thread 1, the registered end
was a byte not part of the stack.
The attached patch ensures that stack bounds semantic are documented and
consistent. Also, some of the stack handling code is factorised.
The convention that the patch ensures and documents is:
start is the lowest addressable byte, end is the highest addressable byte.
(the words 'min' and 'max' have been kept when already used, as this wording is
consistent with the new semantic of start/end).
In various debug log, used brackets [ and ] to make clear that
both bounds are included.
The code to guess and register the client stack was duplicated
in all the platform specific syswrap-<plat>-<os>.c files.
Code has been factorised in syswrap-generic.c
The patch has been regression tested on
x86, amd64, ppc32/64, s390x.
It has been compiled and one test run on arm64.
Not compiled/not tested on darwin, android, mips32/64, arm

- document start/end semantic in various functions
also in pub_tool_machine.h:
- replaces unclear 'bottommost address' by 'lowest address'
(unclear as stack bottom is or at least can be interpreted as
the 'functional' bottom of the stack, which is the highest
address for 'stack growing downwards').

added a comment to indicate why we invert start/end in register call
(note that the code find_stack_by_addr was already assuming that
end was included as the checks were doing e.g.

coregrind/m_clientstate.c
renames Addr VG_(clstk_base) to Addr VG_(clstk_start_base)

to indicate it is the initial lowest address).

updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
updated clstack_max_size computation according to both bounds included.
coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-linux.c
updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
updated VG_(clstk_end) computation according to both bounds included.
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
coregrind/pub_core_aspacemgr.h
extern Addr VG_(am_startup) : clarify semantic of the returned value
coregrind/m_aspacemgr/aspacemgr-linux.c
removed a copy of a comment that was already in pub_core_aspacemgr.h
(avoid double maintenance)
renamed unclear suggested_clstack_top to suggested_clstack_end
(note that here, it looks like suggested_clstack_top was already
the last addressable byte)

Some files to look at more in details:
syswrap-darwin.c : the handling of sysctl(kern.usrstack) looked
buggy to me, and has probably be made correct by the fact that
VG_(clstk_end) is now the last addressable byte. However,unsure
about this, as I could not find any documentation about
sysctl(kern.usrstack). I only find several occurences on the web,
showing that the result of this is page aligned, which I guess
means it must be 1+ the last addressable byte.
syswrap-x86-darwin.c and syswrap-amd64-darwin.c
I suspect the code that was computing client_stack_highest_word
was wrong, and the patch makes it correct.
syswrap-mips64-linux.c
not sure what to do for this code. This is the only code
that was guessing the stack differently from others.
Kept (almost) untouched. To be discussed with mips maintainers.

of clo which are (or should be) 'enum set'.
* pub_tool_options.h : add new macrox VG_USET_CLO and VG_USETX_CLO to
parse an 'enum set' command line option (with or without "all" keyword).
* use VG_USET_CLO for existing enum set clo options:
memcheck --errors-for-leak-kinds, --show-leak-kinds, --leak-check-heuristics
coregrind --vgdb-stop-at
* change --sim-hints and --kernel-variants to enum set
(this allows to detect user typos: currently, a typo in a sim-hint
or kernel variant is silently ignored. Now, an error will be given
to the user)
* The 2 new sets (--sim-hints and --kernel-variants) should not make
use of the 'all' keyword => VG_(parse_enum_set) has a new argument
to enable/disable the use of the "all" keyword.
* The macros defining an 'all enum' set definition was duplicating
all enum values (so addition of a new enum value could easily
give a bug). Removing these macros as they are unused
(to the exception of the leak-kind set).
For this set, the 'all macro' has been replaced by an 'all function',
coded using parse_enum_set parsing the "all" keyword.

VG_SYSNUM_STRING_EXTRA.

to add PPC64 LE support. The other two patches can be found in Bugzillas
334384 and 334836.
POWER PC, add the functional Little Endian support, patch 2
The IBM POWER processor now supports both Big Endian and Little Endian.
The ABI for Little Endian also changes. Specifically, the function
descriptor is not used, the stack size changed, accessing the TOC
changed. Functions now have a local and a global entry point. Register
r2 contains the TOC for local calls and register r12 contains the TOC
for global calls. This patch makes the functional changes to the
Valgrind tool. The patch makes the changes needed for the
none/tests/ppc32 and none/tests/ppc64 Makefile.am. A number of the
ppc specific tests have Endian dependencies that are not fixed in
this patch. They are fixed in the next patch.

POWER PC, add initial Little Endian support
The IBM POWER processor now supports both Big Endian and Little Endian.
This patch renames the #defines with the name ppc64 to ppc64be for the BE
specific code. This patch adds the Little Endian #define ppc64le to the
Additionally, a few functions are renamed to remove BE from the name if the
function is used by BE and LE. Functions that are BE specific have BE put
in the name.
The goals of this patch is to make sure #defines, function names and
variables consistently use PPC64/ppc64 if it refers to BE and LE,
PPC64BE/ppc64be if it is specific to BE, PPC64LE/ppc64le if it is LE
specific. The patch does not break the code for PPC64 Big Endian.
The test files memcheck/tests/atomic_incs.c, tests/power_insn_available.c
and tests/power_insn_available.c are also updated to the new #define
definition for PPC64 BE.

As explained in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331829, when passing
an ioctl request number as an int to a function the request number will
be sign-extended to 64 bits on 64-bit systems. Avoid that this causes
Valgrind to fail to recognize an ioctl by truncating the request number
to 32 bits.

Some syscall verification code is allocating memory to generate
the string used to build an error, e.g. syswrap-generic.c verifying fields of
e.g socket addresses (pre_mem_read_sockaddr) or sendmsg/recvmsg args
(msghdr_foreachfield)
The allocated pointer was copied in the error created by VG_(maybe_record_error).
This was wrong for 2 reasons:
1. If the error is a new error, it is stored in a list of errors,
but the string memory was freed by pre_mem_read_sockaddr, msghdr_foreachfield, ...
This causes a dangling reference. Was at least visible when giving -v, which
re-prints all errors at the end of execution.
Probably this could have some consequences during run while generating new errors,
and comparing for equality with a recorded error having a dangling reference.
2. the same allocated string is re-used for each piece/field of the verified struct.
The code in mc_errors.c that checks that 2 errors are identical was then wrongly
considereing that 2 successive errors for 2 different fields for the same syscall
arg are identical, just because the error string happened to be produced at
the same address.
(it is believed that initially, the error string was assumed to be a static
string, which is not the case anymore, causing the above 2 problems).
Changes:
* The fix consists in duplicating in m_errormgr.c the given error string when
the error is recorded. In other words, the error string is now duplicated similarly
to the (optional) extra component of the error.
* memcheck/tests/linux/rfcomm.c test modified as now an error is reported
for each uninit field.
* socketaddr unknown family is also better reported (using sa_data field name,
rather than an empty field name.
* minor reformatting in m_errormgr.c, to be below 80 characters.
Some notes:
1. the string is only duplicated if the error is recorded
(ie. printed or the first time an error matches a suppression).
The string is not duplicated for duplicated errors or following errors
matching the first (suppressed) error.
The string is also not duplicated for 'unique errors' (that are printed
and then not recorded).
2. duplicating the string for each recorded error is not deemed to
use a lot of memory:
* error strings are usually NULL or short (often 10 bytes or so).
* we expect no program has a huge number of errors
If ever this string duplicate would be significant, having a DedupPoolAlloc
in m_errormgr.c for these strings would reduce this memory (as we expect to
have very few different strings, even with millions of errors).
