As discussed with Dmitry (https://goo.gl/SA4izd), I would like to introduce a function to be called from a third-party library to flush the shadow memory.
In particular, we ran some experiments with our tool Archer (an OpenMP data race detector based on Tsan, https://github.com/PRUNER/archer) and flushing the memory at the end of an outer parallel region, slightly increase the runtime overhead, but reduce the memory overhead of about 30%. This feature would come very handy in case of very large OpenMP applications that may cause an "out of memory" exception when checked with Tsan.

If a memory access is unaligned, emit __tsan_unaligned_read/write
callbacks instead of __tsan_read/write.
Required to change semantics of __tsan_unaligned_read/write to not do the user memory.
But since they were unused (other than through __sanitizer_unaligned_load/store) this is fine.

Status:
The tool is known to work on large real-life applications, but still has quite a few rough edges.
Nothing is guaranteed yet.
The tool works on x86_64 Linux.
Support for 64-bit MacOS 10.7+ is planned for late 2012.
Support for 32-bit OSes is doable, but problematic and not yet planed.
Further commits coming:
- tests
- makefiles
- documentation
- clang driver patch
