Hello,

This patchset introduces a new tool, valid access checker.

Vchecker is a dynamic memory error detector. It provides a new debug feature
that can find out an un-intended access to valid area. Valid area here means
the memory which is allocated and allowed to be accessed by memory owner and
un-intended access means the read/write that is initiated by non-owner.
Usual problem of this class is memory overwritten.

Most of debug feature focused on finding out un-intended access to
in-valid area, for example, out-of-bound access and use-after-free, and,
there are many good tools for it. But, as far as I know, there is no good tool
to find out un-intended access to valid area. This kind of problem is really
hard to solve so this tool would be very useful.

This tool doesn't automatically catch a problem. Manual runtime configuration
to specify the target object is required.

Note that there was a similar attempt for the debugging overwritten problem
however it requires manual code modifying and recompile.

To get more information about vchecker, please see a documention at
the last patch.

Enjoy it.

Thanks.
