Upgrade to valgrind 3.12.0.

Release 3.12.0 (20 October 2016)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3.12.0 is a feature release with many improvements and the usual
collection of bug fixes.

This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux,
ARM64/Linux, PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux,
MIPS32/Linux, MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android,
MIPS32/Android, X86/Android, X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris, X86/MacOSX
10.10 and AMD64/MacOSX 10.10.  There is also preliminary support for
X86/MacOSX 10.11/12, AMD64/MacOSX 10.11/12 and TILEGX/Linux.

* ================== PLATFORM CHANGES =================

* POWER: Support for ISA 3.0 has been added

* mips: support for O32 FPXX ABI has been added.
* mips: improved recognition of different processors
* mips: determination of page size now done at run time

* amd64: Partial support for AMD FMA4 instructions.

* arm, arm64: Support for v8 crypto and CRC instructions.

* Improvements and robustification of the Solaris port.

* Preliminary support for MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) has been added.

Whilst 3.12.0 continues to support the 32-bit x86 instruction set, we
would prefer users to migrate to 64-bit x86 (a.k.a amd64 or x86_64)
where possible.  Valgrind's support for 32-bit x86 has stagnated in
recent years and has fallen far behind that for 64-bit x86
instructions.  By contrast 64-bit x86 is well supported, up to and
including AVX2.

* ==================== TOOL CHANGES ====================

* Memcheck:

  - Added meta mempool support for describing a custom allocator which:
     - Auto-frees all chunks assuming that destroying a pool destroys all
       objects in the pool
     - Uses itself to allocate other memory blocks

  - New flag --ignore-range-below-sp to ignore memory accesses below
    the stack pointer, if you really have to.  The related flag
    --workaround-gcc296-bugs=yes is now deprecated.  Use
    --ignore-range-below-sp=1024-1 as a replacement.

* DRD:

  - Improved thread startup time significantly on non-Linux platforms.

* DHAT

  - Added collection of the metric "tot-blocks-allocd"

* ==================== OTHER CHANGES ====================

* Replacement/wrapping of malloc/new related functions is now done not just
  for system libraries by default, but for any globally defined malloc/new
  related function (both in shared libraries and statically linked alternative
  malloc implementations).  The dynamic (runtime) linker is excluded, though.
  To only intercept malloc/new related functions in
  system libraries use --soname-synonyms=somalloc=nouserintercepts (where
  "nouserintercepts" can be any non-existing library name).
  This new functionality is not implemented for MacOS X.

* The maximum number of callers in a suppression entry is now equal to
  the maximum size for --num-callers (500).
  Note that --gen-suppressions=yes|all similarly generates suppressions
  containing up to --num-callers frames.

* New and modified GDB server monitor features:

  - Valgrind's gdbserver now accepts the command 'catch syscall'.
    Note that you must have GDB >= 7.11 to use 'catch syscall' with
    gdbserver.

* New option --run-cxx-freeres=<yes|no> can be used to change whether
  __gnu_cxx::__freeres() cleanup function is called or not. Default is
  'yes'.

* Valgrind is able to read compressed debuginfo sections in two formats:
  - zlib ELF gABI format with SHF_COMPRESSED flag (gcc option -gz=zlib)
  - zlib GNU format with .zdebug sections (gcc option -gz=zlib-gnu)

* Modest JIT-cost improvements: the cost of instrumenting code blocks
  for the most common use case (x86_64-linux, Memcheck) has been
  reduced by 10%-15%.

* Improved performance for programs that do a lot of discarding of
  instruction address ranges of 8KB or less.

* The C++ symbol demangler has been updated.

* More robustness against invalid syscall parameters on Linux.

* ==================== FIXED BUGS ====================

The following bugs have been fixed or resolved.  Note that "n-i-bz"
stands for "not in bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us
but never got a bugzilla entry.  We encourage you to file bugs in
bugzilla (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.
