linux arm regtest: add an expected for leak_cpp_interior
For this code
ptr2 = new MyClass[0]; // "interior but exterior ptr".
// ptr2 points after the chunk, is wrongly considered by memcheck as definitely leaked.
there's a possible leak rather than a definite one.
I tried adding the clobber macro but that didn't change anything.
So I'm still not too sure why memcheck is finding the pointer for
this.

linux arm regtest: fix test and stdout expected
The three diffs that I noticed earlier were really due to typos
in the testcase. They should have been using d0 d1 d2 d3 but
instead were using d0 d1 d2 d4.
Fix gdbserver tests failing due to 'warning: ' prefix in syscall-template.S line
At least on debina 12.5, with GDB 13.1 and GDB 14.1, 2 gdbserver tests
fails due to a 'warning: ' word appearing in from of a line
giving the syscall-template.S filename.
Fix this by allowing an optional 'warning: ' regexp at the beginning of the line.
Tested on debian 12.5, with GDB 12.1/13.1/14.1 and 15.0.50.20240211-git

FreeBSD: updates for FreeBSD 14.0
Added some filtering. Removed a few compiler warnings.
memcheck manuel1 has an extra error somewhere within
the printf calltree - sensitive to libc changes.

Helgrind: add suppression for libnss from getaddrinfo
Seems as though Raspberry Pi OS doesn't have a debuginfo package
for libnss_mdns4 so we need to suppress based on the obj name.
There is still one error in the Helgrind getaddrinfo test, but that
is in the somewhat malformed libarmmem library (which does have
debuginfo but Valgrind can't read it because there is no ELF type
or size info). I think that suppressing that would be too broad.

Bug 480126 - Build failure on Raspberry Pi 5 / OS 6.1.0-rpi7-rpi-v8
The problem is that the Pi 3+ with raspbian has a 64bit aarch64 OS
but a 32bit gnueabihf userland. If you just run "configure" the
result will be an attempt to use 32-bit GCC with the ARM64 Valgrind
platform, which will fail.
This can be fixed by using the appropriate --host= option.
I've updated README.aarch64 with a description of this.
I've also changed configure.ac to take "arm*" for the
ARM platform (previously it was "armv7*"). That's been
a patch on Debian for a while. It will allow building
on older arm hardware and also armv8 (used on the
Raspberry Pi 3 and later models).

regtest: try to make cachegrind/tests/ann-merge2.vgtest deterministic
Add a touch of the cgout files so that they are more recent than the
source file. git clone seems to sometimes timestamp the source
after the cgout files which generates a warning and a post failure.
At least with FreeBSD on ZFS.

Bug 479041 - Executables without RW sections do not trigger debuginfo reading
The main change is to not assume that there is always 1 and only 1 RW segment.
Now the rw segment count is obtained from the macho segments.
I've had to make several changes to remove asserts that checked
that there is always 1 or more rw segments. I don't think that this
really affects 'normal' C and C++ compiled binaries. There is one
exp-bbv testcase (x86/million) that is written in assembler and
was failing until I removed all of the asserts.
There's still a bit more work to do.
1. Handle fat binaries - are these still a thing (with "apple silicon")?
2. Use a dynamically sized buffer for the segments rather than just 4k.

Bug 478837 - valgrind fails to read debug info for rust binaries
mold produces binaries with non-contiguous .rodata and .rodata.xxx
sections. The code that merges their addresses can only handle 1
rodata which means only contiguous sections can be merged.
Since this now seems to be a "normal" case I've changed the warning
message to be a SYMTAB_TRACE message.

Bug 478624 - Valgrind incompatibility with binutils-2.42 on x86 with new nop patterns (unhandled instruction bytes: 0x2E 0x8D 0xB4 0x26)
It was a bit of a struggle to get the testcase to build
with both clang and gcc (oddly enough gcc was more difficult) so
I just resorted to using .byte arrays.
When vgdb replies to qRcmd packet recieved from GDB, it
used to send the reply as simple string. This is wrong,
GDB expects to get a hex encoded string.

FreeBSD regtest: make aio test more robust
Had to remove a few of the errors - seems to me that aio errors
are not handled well by the FreeBSD kernel. E.g., it looks
like the error state doesn't get cleared by aio_return.
