The `nat` type was an alias for `unsigned int` with a comment saying
it was at least 32 bits. We keep the typedef in case client code is
using it but mark it as deprecated.

This will hopefully help ensure some basic consistency in the forward by
overriding buffer variables. In particular, it sets the wrap length, the
offset to 4, and turns off tabs.

We have various problems with reallocating the array of Capabilities,
due to threads in waitForReturnCapability that are already holding a
pointer to a Capability.
Rather than add more locking to make this safer, I decided it would be
easier to ensure that we never move the Capabilities at all. The
capabilities array is now an array of pointers to Capabaility. There
are extra indirections, but it rarely matters - we don't often access
Capabilities via the array, normally we already have a pointer to
one. I ran the parallel benchmarks and didn't see any difference.

This allows us to provide access to them in the base library.

This means that both time and heap profiling work for parallel
programs. Main internal changes:
- CCCS is no longer a global variable; it is now another
pseudo-register in the StgRegTable struct. Thus every
Capability has its own CCCS.
- There is a new built-in CCS called "IDLE", which records ticks for
Capabilities in the idle state. If you profile a single-threaded
program with +RTS -N2, you'll see about 50% of time in "IDLE".
- There is appropriate locking in rts/Profiling.c to protect the
shared cost-centre-stack data structures.
This patch does enough to get it working, I have cut one big corner:
the cost-centre-stack data structure is still shared amongst all
Capabilities, which means that multiple Capabilities will race when
updating the "allocations" and "entries" fields of a CCS. Not only
does this give unpredictable results, but it runs very slowly due to
cache line bouncing.
It is strongly recommended that you use -fno-prof-count-entries to
disable the "entries" count when profiling parallel programs. (I shall
add a note to this effect to the docs).

Terminology cleanup: the type "Ticks" has been renamed "Time", which
is an StgWord64 in units of TIME_RESOLUTION (currently nanoseconds).
The terminology "tick" is now used consistently to mean the interval
between timer signals.
The ticker now always ticks in realtime (actually CLOCK_MONOTONIC if
we have it). Before it used CPU time in the non-threaded RTS and
realtime in the threaded RTS, but I've discovered that the CPU timer
has terrible resolution (at least on Linux) and isn't much use for
profiling. So now we always use realtime. This should also fix
The default tick interval is now 10ms, except when profiling where we
drop it to 1ms. This gives more accurate profiles without affecting
runtime too much (<1%).
Lots of cleanups - the resolution of Time is now in one place
only (Rts.h) rather than having calculations that depend on the
resolution scattered all over the RTS. I hope I found them all.

User visible changes
====================
Profilng
--------
Flags renamed (the old ones are still accepted for now):
OLD NEW
--------- ------------
-auto-all -fprof-auto
-auto -fprof-exported
-caf-all -fprof-cafs
New flags:
-fprof-auto Annotates all bindings (not just top-level
ones) with SCCs
-fprof-top Annotates just top-level bindings with SCCs
-fprof-exported Annotates just exported bindings with SCCs
-fprof-no-count-entries Do not maintain entry counts when profiling
(can make profiled code go faster; useful with
heap profiling where entry counts are not used)
Cost-centre stacks have a new semantics, which should in most cases
result in more useful and intuitive profiles. If you find this not to
be the case, please let me know. This is the area where I have been
experimenting most, and the current solution is probably not the
final version, however it does address all the outstanding bugs and
seems to be better than GHC 7.2.
Stack traces
------------
+RTS -xc now gives more information. If the exception originates from
a CAF (as is common, because GHC tends to lift exceptions out to the
top-level), then the RTS walks up the stack and reports the stack in
the enclosing update frame(s).
Result: +RTS -xc is much more useful now - but you still have to
compile for profiling to get it. I've played around a little with
adding 'head []' to GHC itself, and +RTS -xc does pinpoint the problem
quite accurately.
I plan to add more facilities for stack tracing (e.g. in GHCi) in the
future.
Coverage (HPC)
--------------
* derived instances are now coloured yellow if they weren't used
* likewise record field names
* entry counts are more accurate (hpc --fun-entry-count)
* tab width is now correct (markup was previously off in source with
tabs)
Internal changes
================
In Core, the Note constructor has been replaced by
Tick (Tickish b) (Expr b)
which is used to represent all the kinds of source annotation we
support: profiling SCCs, HPC ticks, and GHCi breakpoints.
Depending on the properties of the Tickish, different transformations
apply to Tick. See CoreUtils.mkTick for details.
Tickets
=======
This commit closes the following tickets, test cases to follow:
- Close #2552: not a bug, but the behaviour is now more intuitive
(test is T2552)
- Close #680 (test is T680)
- Close #1531 (test is result001)
- Close #949 (test is T949)
- Close #2466: test case has bitrotted (doesn't compile against current
version of vector-space package)

The first phase of this tidyup is focussed on the header files, and in
particular making sure we are exposinng publicly exactly what we need
to, and no more.
- Rts.h now includes everything that the RTS exposes publicly,
rather than a random subset of it.
- Most of the public header files have moved into subdirectories, and
many of them have been renamed. But clients should not need to
include any of the other headers directly, just #include the main
public headers: Rts.h, HsFFI.h, RtsAPI.h.
- All the headers needed for via-C compilation have moved into the
stg subdirectory, which is self-contained. Most of the headers for
the rest of the RTS APIs have moved into the rts subdirectory.
- I left MachDeps.h where it is, because it is so widely used in
Haskell code.
- I left a deprecated stub for RtsFlags.h in place. The flag
structures are now exposed by Rts.h.
- Various internal APIs are no longer exposed by public header files.
- Various bits of dead code and declarations have been removed
- More gcc warnings are turned on, and the RTS code is more
warning-clean.
- More source files #include "PosixSource.h", and hence only use
standard POSIX (1003.1c-1995) interfaces.
There is a lot more tidying up still to do, this is just the first
pass. I also intend to standardise the names for external RTS APIs
(e.g use the rts_ prefix consistently), and declare the internal APIs
as hidden for shared libraries.

Now that constructor info tables contain the name of the constructor,
we can generate useful heap profiles without requiring the whole
program and libraries to be compiled with -prof. So now, "+RTS -hT"
generates a heap profile for any program, dividing the profile by
constructor. It wouldn't be hard to add support for grouping
constructors by module, or to restrict the profile to certain
constructors/modules/packages.
This means that for the first time we can get heap profiles for GHCi,
which was previously impossible because the byte-code
interpreter and linker don't work with -prof.

Fixed version of an old patch by Simon Marlow. His description read:
Also, now an arbitrarily short context switch interval may now be
specified, as we increase the RTS ticker's resolution to match the
requested context switch interval. This also applies to +RTS -i (heap
profiling) and +RTS -I (the idle GC timer). +RTS -V is actually only
required for increasing the resolution of the profile timer.

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
