The IBM Power ISA 2.07 has been published on power.org, and IBM's new POWER8 processor is under development to implement that ISA. This patch provides initial runtime and testsuite support for running Valgrind on POWER8 systems running a soon-to-be released Linux distribution. This Linux distro will include a POWER8-tuned libc that uses a subset of the new instructions from ISA 2.07. Since virtually all applications link with libc, it would be impossible to run an application under Valgrind on this distro without adding support for these new instructions to Valgrind, so that's the intent of this patch. Note that applications built on this distro will *not* employ new POWER8 instructions by default. There are roughly 150 new instructions in the Power ISA 2.07, including hardware transaction management (HTM). Support for these new instructions (modulo the subset included in this bug) will be added to Valgrind in a phased approach, similar to what we did for Power ISA 2.06. Bugzilla 322294, VEX commit 2740 git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@13494
