ADD AT_DCACHEBSIZE and AT_HWCAP2 support for POWER PC
Valgrind currently does not support the following AUX vector entries:
AT_DCACHEBSIZE, and AT_HWCAP2. By default these entries are suppressed by
Valgrind. The attached patch adds the needed support so the user level programs
can correctly determine that hardware level they are running on. Specifically
that the ISA 2.07 for Power 8 is supported.
Bugzilla 345695
This fix adds the needed support. It makes a minor change to allow the
VEX settings of the host platform to be passed down so they can be checked
against the HWCAP values.
The files touched are:
coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-linux.c
coregrind/pub_core_initimg.h
coregrind/m_main.c
Assorted cleanups: remove magic constants and unneeded header file. Update
a few comments. Exit with code 127 in bash emulation mode when file was
not found.

Fixes BZ 344559.
The linux launcher showed some odd behaviour. When given a shell script
named 'now' with this contents:
#!
/bin/date
the platform selection logic does this:
--11196:1:launcher no tool requested, defaulting to 'memcheck'
--11196:2:launcher selecting platform for './now'
--11196:2:launcher selecting platform for './now'
--11196:2:launcher opened './now'
--11196:2:launcher read 13 bytes from './now'
--11196:2:launcher selecting platform for ''
--11196:2:launcher selecting platform for '/home/florian/bin/'
--11196:2:launcher opened '/home/florian/bin/'
--11196:2:launcher selected platform 'unknown'
--11196:1:launcher no platform detected, defaulting platform to 'amd64-linux'
That is not quite right. Instead the platform should be determined by
examining the default shell.
Additionally, define VKI_BINPRM_BUF_SIZE because on linux only that many
characters are considered on a #! line. C.f. <linux>/fs/binfmt_script.c
m_ume/* needs to be adapted as well but that is a different patch.
Add testcase for BZ 231357.
To do that a small enhancement to vg_regtest was needed:
(1) New declaration to allow specifying an environemnt variable
that is set prior to invoking valgrind.
eg: env: VAR=VAL
There can be more than one such declaration
(2) prog-asis: program_name
This is like prog: except the program name is not prefixed with
the testdir.
Further reduction of the size of the sector TTE tables
For default memcheck configuration, 32 bits) this patch
decreases by 13.6 MB ie. from 89945856 to 76317696.
Note that the type EClassNo is introduced only for readibility
purpose (and avoid some cast). That does not change the size
of the TTEntry.
The TTEntry size is reduced by using unions and/or Bool on 1 bit.
No performance impact detected (outer callgrind/inner memcheck bz2
on x86 shows a small improvement).
Revision 14976 causes a regression : stacktrace produced when the
stack has not yet been extended to cover SP will only contain one
element, as the stack limits are considered to be the limits of
the resvn segment.
This patch fixes that, by taking Resvn/SmUpper segment into
account to properly compute the limits.
It also contains a new regtest that fails with the trunk
(only one function in the stacktrace)
and succeeds with this patch (the 2 expected functions).
The hint given by Valgrind gdbserver when enabling host visibility
in gdbserver was wrongly giving the file load address,
instead of the text segment address start.
This means that GDB was then showing wrong symbols for an address
(typically, symbols slightly before the address being printed).
This patch ensures the hint given is using the text start address.
Helgrind optimisation:
* do VTS pruning only if new threads were declared
very dead since the last pruning round.
* When doing pruning, use the new list of threads very dead
to do the pruning : this decreases the cost of the dichotomic search
in VTS__substract

Add function VG_(am_is_valid_for_aspacem_minAddr) so that the parser

Have the very detailed gdbsrv debuglog (e.g. exchange of packets
between GDB and V gdbsrv, fetching/setting registers, ...) done
at debuglog level 3 instead of 1.
This allows to do gdbsrv commands at debuglog level 2
without seeing too much trace.
This patch further reduces the memory used by TT/TC (by about 15Mb
on 32 bits memcheck default nr of sectors).
Memory is reduced by using UShort typedef-s for Sector no and TTE no.
Note that for TTE no, we had a mixture of UShort, UInt and Int used
depending on the place (a TTE no was in any case constrained to be an UShort).
The bss memory/startup space is also reduced by allocating the htt on demand
(like tt and tc), using mmap the first time a sector is initialised.
Changes:
* pub_core_transtab.h :
* 2 typedef to identify a sector and a tt entry (these 2 types are UShort)
* add 2 #define 'invalid values' for these types
* change the interface to use these types rather than UInt
* m_transtab.c
* use wherever relevant these 2 new types rather than UInt or UShort
* replace the use of -1 by INV_SNO or INV_TTE
* remove now useless typecast from Int/UInt to UShort for tte
* schedule.c: use the new types

Add VG_(am_is_bogus_client_stack_pointer)(Addr).
The function is used in VG_(client_syscall) to avoid extending the stack
when it is clear that the current value of the stack pointer does not
point into a segment that looks like a stack segment.
See the comments in the code there.
As a side effect of this we can now revert r15018 which increased
the stack size of the alternate stack in memcheck/tests/sigaltstack.c.
The reason is that the belief at the time: "alternate stack is too small"
was not correct. What instead happened was that VG_(client_syscall) called
VG_(extend_stack) without need (the syscall was tgkill) and the new stack
pointer happened to be in a file segment.
In other words: the current stack pointer was still within the alternate
stack, i.e. the alternate stack was (barely) large enough.

Change the GCC demangler to not use VLA. The rationale is that these VLAs
are allocated on the stack and they can become quite large - in particular
when the client is a C++ application using the Boost library.
In combination with the demanglers recursive nature this can quickly lead
to exhaustion of valgrind's per-thread stack (which cannot be dynamically
grown). Additionally, due to the large VLAs (I've seen a 32k array) we
could run out of stack space without issuing a prior warning and instead
just segfault.
Therefore this patch allocates these arrays on the heap and frees them
later. Basically this is a respin of Joseph's r10385.
Change TT/TC hashing data structure (decreases memory by 50MB for memcheck 32bits)
This patch changes the way the transtab entries hash table is done.
Currently, the hash table is an open hash table considered full at 65%.
This means that in average, 1 entry on 3 is unused.
(all the hash table memory will be 'active' for big applications,
as the active entries are normally reasonably distributed over the hash table).
The size of a transtab entry is significant (about 150 Bytes).
To avoid having 35% of the entries unused, the translation table
is split in 2:
An hash table, that will contain an index pointing at the transtab entries.
With this technique, we are adding a small hash table,
but we spare 35% of the translation table.
Performance measurements have shown no degradation,
and some platforms have better performance. Not too clear why,
probably this helps platforms with small caches ?).

Increase the size of the alternate stack. It was too small.
This was found by accident and there is no known way to detect
an overflow of an alternate stack in the general case.
New Option --avg-transtab-entry-size=<number> can be used to tune
the size of the translation table sectors, either to gain memory
or to avoid too many retranslations.
