b859182c44 Removed the need for the user to generate a cache simulation -- now do
automatic cache configuration detection using the CPUID instruction.
This can be overridden from the command-line if necessary.

vg_include.h:
    - added the cache_t type and UNDEFINED_CACHE macro

    - added command line args (of type cache_t) allowing manual override of
      I1/D1/L2 configuration

    - added log2(), which is generally useful

vg_main.c, valgrind.in, cachegrind.in:
    - added handling of the new --{I1,D1,L2}=<size>,<assoc>,<line_size>
      options

vg_cachesim.c:
    - lots of stuff for auto-detecting cache configuration with CPUID.
      Only handles Intel and AMD chips at the moment, and possibly not all of
      them.  Falls back onto defaults if anything goes wrong, and the configs
      can be manually overridden from the command line anyway.

    - now not printing cache summary stats if verbosity == 0.  Still writing
      cachegrind.out, though.

vg_cachesim_gen.c:
    - new file containing stuff shared by the I1/D1/L2 simulations

vg_cachesim_{I1,D1,L2}:
    - removed most of it;  each now just calls a macro defined in
      vg_cachesim_gen.c

vg_cachegen:
    - has been cvs removed as it is no longer needed.

Makefile.am:
    - added vg_cachesim_gen.c

    - removed vg_cachegen

configure.in:
    - removed vg_cachegen

77dca1afe5 Cache simulator now handles basic block discards correctly. When
VG_(cachesim_discard_notify) is called, the cost centre array for the basic
block is removed from the table, and its counts are aggregated into a single
"discard" cost centre, and the cost centre array is free'd.

The aggregate discard cost centre is given the filename:function_name
"(discarded):(discarded)".  Mentioned this in the manual.

Only tested with tests/discard.c.  Seems to work well for that case though :)

96b04d4f30 Fix fork/exec stuff so it works again. We have to mangle LD_LIBRARY_PATH
as well as LD_PRELOAD, so as to make our libpthread.so go out of scope
when a child which we don't want to trace, is exec'd.  Otherwise the
child can wind up being connected to our libpthread.so but not to
valgrind.so, which is an unworkable combination; you have to be connected
to both or neither.

6610ca19b3 Remove existing non-working support for self-modifying code, and instead
add a simple compromise, in which the client can notify valgrind
that certain code address ranges are invalid and should be retranslated.
This is done using the VALGRIND_DISCARD_TRANSLATIONS macro in valgrind.h.

At the same time take the opportunity to close the potentially fatal
loophole that translations for executable segments were not being
discarded when those segments were munmapped.  They are now.

Documentation updated.

8cbe9082c5 Expanded --sort option to take threshold args with the event names. Lets you
do things like "show functions covering 99% of all D2mr events *and* 99% of all
D2mw events" - before you could only choose the threshold for one.

Useful for me, but probably no-one else.  Still mentioned it in the docs,
though.

2943666eb5 In order to catch timeout events on fds which are readable and which
have been ioctl(TCSETA)'d with a VTIMEout, we appear to need to ask if
the fd is writable, for some reason.  Ask me not why.  Since this is
strange and potentially troublesome we only do it if the user asks
specially, by specifying --wierd-hacks=ioctl-VTIME.

53d40a27da vg_symtab2.c:
- No longer aborting when encountering a N_SOL symbol after the 65535th
      line in a file, just printing a warning/apology that annotations/messages
      might be wrong.

      This is a pain to fix properly, since it requires first guessing when a
      line number overflow happens, then switching to one or more other files,
      then switching back.

fcc45a9e85 New files:
- vg_cachesim.c
  - vg_cachesim_{I1,D1,L2}.c
  - vg_annotate.in
  - vg_cachegen.in

Changes to existing files:

  - valgrind/valgrind.in, added option:

        --cachesim=no|yes       [no]

  - Makefile/Makefile.am:
        * added vg_cachesim.c to valgrind_so_SOURCES var
        * added vg_cachesim_I1.c, vg_cachesim_D1.c, vg_cachesim_L2.c to
          noinst_HEADERS var
        * added vg_annotate, vg_cachegen to 'bin_SCRIPTS' var, and added empty
          targets for them

  - vg_main.c:
        * added two offsets for cache sim functions (put in positions 17a,17b)
        * added option handling (detection of --cachesim=yes which turns off of
          --instrument);
        * added calls to cachesim initialisation/finalisation functions

  - vg_mylibc: added some system call wrappers (for chmod, open_write, etc) for
    file writing

  - vg_symtab2.c:
        * allow it to read symbols if either of --instrument or --cachesim is
          used
        * made vg_symtab2.c:vg_what_{line,fn}_is_this extern, renaming it as
          VG_(what_line_is_this) (and added to vg_include.h)
        * completely rewrote the read loop in vg_read_lib_symbols, fixing
          several bugs.  Much better now, although probably not perfect.  It's
          also relatively fragile -- I'm using the "die immediately if anything
          unexpected happens" approach.

  - vg_to_ucode.c:
        * in VG_(disBB), patching in x86 instruction size into extra4b field of
          JMP instructions at the end of basic blocks if --cachesim=yes.
          Shifted things around to do this;  also had to fiddle around with
          single-step stuff to get this to work, by not sticking extra JMPs on
          the end of the single-instruction block if there was already one
          there (to avoid breaking an assertion in vg_cachesim.c).  Did a
          similar thing to avoid an extra JMP on huge basic blocks that are
          split.

  - vg_translate.c:
        * if --cachesim=yes call the cachesim instrumentation phase
        * made some functions extern and renamed:
                allocCodeBlock() --> VG_(allocCodeBlock)()
                freeCodeBlock()  --> VG_(freeCodeBlock)()
                copyUInstr()     --> VG_(copyUInstr)()
          (added to vg_include.h too)

  - vg_include.c: declared
        * cachesim offsets
        * exports of vg_cachesim.c
        * added four new profiling events (increasing VGP_M_CCS to 24 -- I kept
          the spare ones)
        * added comment about UInstr.extra4b field being used for instr size in
          JMPs for cache simulation

  - docs/manual.html:
        * Added --cachesim option to section 2.5.
        * Added cache profiling stuff as section 7.
