PowerPC:, Fix test test_isa_3_1_R1_RT.c, test_isa_3_1_R1_XT.c
Fixes an issue with the PAD_ORI used in the the tests by explicitly adding
SAVE_REGS and RESTORE_REGS macros. The macros ensure that the block of
immediate OR instructions don't inadvertently change the contents of the
registers.
John Reiser suggested that the PAD_ORI asm statements in the PAD_ORI
macro be updated to inform the compiler which register the ori instruction
is clobbering. The compiler will then generate the code to save and
restore the register automatically. This is a cleaner solution then
explicitly adding the macros to store and restore the registers. It is
functionally cleaner in that the value fetched by the instruction under
test is not modified by the PAD_ORI instructions.
This patch removes the SAVE_REG and RESTORE_REG macros and updates the
PAD_ORI macro.
Release notes for Valgrind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are building a binary package of Valgrind for distribution,
please read README_PACKAGERS. It contains some important information.
If you are developing Valgrind, please read README_DEVELOPERS. It contains
some useful information.
For instructions on how to build/install, see the end of this file.
If you have problems, consult the FAQ to see if there are workarounds.
Executive Summary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valgrind is a framework for building dynamic analysis tools. There are
Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management
and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail. You can also
use Valgrind to build new tools.
The Valgrind distribution currently includes seven production-quality
tools: a memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cache
and branch-prediction profiler, a call-graph generating cache and
branch-prediction profiler, and two heap profilers. It also includes
one experimental tool: a SimPoint basic block vector generator.
Valgrind is closely tied to details of the CPU, operating system and to
a lesser extent, compiler and basic C libraries. This makes it difficult
to make it portable. Nonetheless, it is available for the following
platforms:
- X86/Linux
- AMD64/Linux
- PPC32/Linux
- PPC64/Linux
- ARM/Linux
- ARM64/Linux
- x86/macOS
- AMD64/macOS
- S390X/Linux
- MIPS32/Linux
- MIPS64/Linux
- nanoMIPS/Linux
- X86/Solaris
- AMD64/Solaris
- X86/FreeBSD
- AMD64/FreeBSD
Note that AMD64 is just another name for x86_64, and Valgrind runs fine
on Intel processors. Also note that the core of macOS is called
"Darwin" and this name is used sometimes.
Valgrind is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2.
Read the file COPYING in the source distribution for details.
However: if you contribute code, you need to make it available as GPL
version 2 or later, and not 2-only.
Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A comprehensive user guide is supplied. Point your browser at
$PREFIX/share/doc/valgrind/manual.html, where $PREFIX is whatever you
specified with --prefix= when building.
Building and installing it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install from the GIT repository:
0. Clone the code from GIT:
git clone https://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
There are further instructions at
http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/repository.html.
1. cd into the source directory.
2. Run ./autogen.sh to setup the environment (you need the standard
autoconf tools to do so).
3. Continue with the following instructions...
To install from a tar.bz2 distribution:
4. Run ./configure, with some options if you wish. The only interesting
one is the usual --prefix=/where/you/want/it/installed.
5. Run "make".
6. Run "make install", possibly as root if the destination permissions
require that.
7. See if it works. Try "valgrind ls -l". Either this works, or it
bombs out with some complaint. In that case, please let us know
(see http://valgrind.org/support/bug_reports.html).
Important! Do not move the valgrind installation into a place
different from that specified by --prefix at build time. This will
cause things to break in subtle ways, mostly when Valgrind handles
fork/exec calls.
