Allow a WordFM iterator to be initialised so as to exclude all key
values below a given value. This allows efficiently iterating over
small subsets of a mapping. Use this in Helgrind to avoid a
performance bad case. Patch from Konstantin Serebryany.

DRD updates (Bart Van Assche):
- Updated copyright statement: replaced 2006-2007 by 2006-2008.
- Added copyright statement in the files where it was missing
(drd_track.h and drd_clientreq.c)
- Eliminated dependencies on core header files -- there are no more
#include "pub_core....h" directives in the exp-drd source code.
- Added semaphore support.
- Added barrier support.
- Added pthread_mutex_timedlock() support.
- Stack depth of stack traces printed by exp-drd can now be set via
--num-callers=...
- Added command-line option --trace-barrier=[yes|no].
- Added regression test for pthread_barrier() (matinv, a program that
performs matrix inversion).
- Added regression test sem_as_mutex, which tests whether race
detection works correctly when a semaphore is used to ensure mutual
exclusion of critical sections.
- Some of helgrind's regression tests are now used to test both
helgrind and exp-drd: tc17_sembar and tc18_semabuse.
- Cleaned up bitmap implementation code now that the const keyword has
been added to the declarations of the OSet functions.
- Cleaned up exp-drd/Makefile.am
- Updated exp-drd/TODO.txt

Mark the main thread as running while the initial memory declarations

Also cleanup existing hacks in the drd tool which worked around the

Add a new method VG_(record_depth_1_ExeContext), a trivial derivative
of VG_(record_ExeContext), which just records the first stack frame

Improve handling of programs which require very large main thread
stacks. Instead of hardwiring the main thread stack to a max of 16MB
and segfaulting the app beyond that point, allow the user to specify
the main stack size using the new flag --main-stacksize=<number>.
If said flag is not present, the current default, which is "MIN(16GB,

DRD changes (Bart Van Assche)
* Add docs: exp-drd/docs/README.txt
* Added one drd suppression pattern, and cleaned up the suppression file.
* All regression tests now pass on x86_64 and i386, including sigalrm.
* Updated TODO.txt file.
* pth_create_chain test is now started with 100 threads instead of 10
-- 10 was not enough.
* DRD no longer exits on PPC32 and PPC64 but just prints a warning
message before it starts.
Update old (and wrong) parts of callgrind documentation.
This obviously was already wrong in 3.2.x :-(
* Old --fn-recursion=... / --fn-caller=... options are called
--separate-recs=... / --separate-callers=... since quite some
time for consistency with e.g. --separate-threads=yes.
Error noted from bug 153335.
* Function specifications support wildcards since quite some time;
specification of a prefix only does not work, but the full
function has to match. This was needed to allow to specify 'foo'
without also specifying 'foo1'.
* The script 'callgrind' does not exist since merging into
valgrind.
* Rename callgrind from being a 'heavyweight' to a 'call graph'
profiler, similar to the description in the quick start overview.
Two changes:
- Be more robust in the face of malformed stack traces. This avoids some
potential assertion errors (which have affected prior versions of Massif),
but unfortunately reduces the amount of sanity-checking that can be done
on XTrees.
- Get white-space printing right in output file. Non-functional change,
just makes output files easier to read.

calloc_common, realloc_common, memalign_common in libc. Intercept
those names too.
Add Massif bugs fixed by the rewrite. I added them to the top part of the
file, not the "after 3.2.3" section, I hope this is the right place for
them.
- Rewrote documentation.
- Added a new time unit, instructions executed, and made it the default -- it's
much more reproducible and consistent than milliseconds. Requires IRSB
instrumentation and so slows down some programs (malloc-light ones such as
bzip2) by about 20%, others by less.
- ms_print now doesn't overwrite the x-axis in the graphs.
- Added a test for --detailed-freq and --max-snapshots
