* The new option --keep-debuginfo=no|yes (default no) can be used to retain
debug info for unloaded code. This allows saved stack traces (e.g. for
memory leaks) to include file/line info for code that has been dlclose'd (or
similar). See the user manual for more information and known limitations.
* Ability to specify suppressions based on source file name and line number.
* Majorly overhauled register allocator. No end-user changes, but the JIT
generates code a bit more quickly now.
* Preliminary support for macOS 10.13 has been added.
* mips: support for MIPS32/MIPS64 Revision 6 has been added.
* mips: support for MIPS SIMD architecture (MSA) has been added.
* mips: support for MIPS N32 ABI has been added.
* s390: partial support for vector instructions (integer and string) has been
added.
* Helgrind: Addition of a flag
--delta-stacktrace=no|yes [yes on linux amd64/x86]
which specifies how full history stack traces should be computed.
Setting this to =yes can speed up Helgrind by 25% when using
--history-level=full.
* Memcheck: reduced false positive rate for optimised code created by Clang 6
/ LLVM 6 on x86, amd64 and arm64. In particular, Memcheck analyses code
blocks more carefully to determine where it can avoid expensive definedness
checks without loss of precision. This is controlled by the flag
--expensive-definedness-checks=no|auto|yes [auto].
* Valgrind is now buildable with link-time optimisation (LTO). A new
configure option --enable-lto=yes allows building Valgrind with LTO. If the
toolchain supports it, this produces a smaller/faster Valgrind (up to 10%).
Note that if you are doing Valgrind development, --enable-lto=yes massively
slows down the build process.

* 3.11.0 is a feature release with many improvements and the usual
collection of bug fixes.
- replace gcc-version.patch with gcc5.patch: This is the upstream
version
- drop valgrind-linux-4.0.patch: merged upstream
- add svn-r15766.patch: Fix valgrind with recent kernels
- jit-register-unregister.diff commented out, needs porting

* Support for the 64-bit ARM Architecture (AArch64 ARMv8). This port
is mostly complete, and is usable, but some SIMD instructions are as
yet unsupported.
* Support for little-endian variant of the 64-bit POWER architecture.
* Support for Android on MIPS32.
* Support for 64bit FPU on MIPS32 platforms.
* Both 32- and 64-bit executables are supported on MacOSX 10.8 and 10.9.
* Configuration for and running on Android targets has changed.
See README.android in the source tree for details.

- update to 3.9.0:
* Support for Intel AVX2 instructions. This is available only on 64
bit code.
* Support for POWER8 (Power ISA 2.07) instructions.
* Initial support for Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions,
both RTM and HLE.
* Initial support for Hardware Transactional Memory on POWER.
* Improvements in handling of vectorised code, leading to
significantly fewer false error reports. You need to use the flag
--partial-loads-ok=yes to get the benefits of these changes.
* Better control over the leak checker. It is now possible to
specify which leak kinds (definite/indirect/possible/reachable)
should be displayed.
* Reduced "possible leak" reports from the leak checker by the use
of better heuristics.
* Better control of stacktrace acquisition for heap-allocated
blocks.
* Better reporting of leak suppression usage.
* New and modified GDB server monitor features.
* New flag --sigill-diagnostics to control whether a diagnostic
message is printed when the JIT encounters an instruction it can't
translate.
* The maximum amount of memory that Valgrind can use on 64 bit
targets has been increased from 32GB to 64GB.
* Additional smaller new features and many bug fixes.
- Remove obsolete raise-segnames-limit.diff,
valgrind-glibc-2.17.patch and valgrind-glibc-2.18.patch.
