[Valgrind-developers] Created VALGRIND_3_24_BRANCH

[Mark W. <ma...@kl...>]

Hi developers and packagers,

I created a VALGRIND_3_24_BRANCH where I hope to put commits
which I think distros should pick up. The idea would be to first
commit to the main branch. Then git cherry-pick -x the commit to the
branch (updating NEWS to list all bugs fixed on the branch).

The patches I put on the VALGRIND_3_24_BRANCH are to fix a few
off-by-one writes in vgdb, fix some test results, cleanup some C23
issues (just in case people test the build with a GCC15 pre-release),
and add support for some linux syscalls (landlock_create_ruleset,
landlock_add_rule, landlock_restrict_self, open_tree, move_mount,
fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount, fspick).

I don't intent to do a full 3.24.1 release, but I hope distros will
pick up these fixes. I have also added them to the Fedora package.

Please let me know if you find other fixes on trunk you believe really
should be backported to 3.24.0.

Thanks,

Mark
