Currently we do the following dance after sweeping a span:
1. lock mcentral
2. remove the span from a list
3. unlock mcentral
4. unmark span
5. lock mheap
6. insert the span into heap
7. unlock mheap
8. lock mcentral
9. observe empty list
10. unlock mcentral
11. lock mheap
12. grab the span
13. unlock mheap
14. mark span
15. lock mcentral
16. insert the span into empty list
17. unlock mcentral
This change short-circuits this sequence to nothing,
that is, we just cache and use the span after sweeping.
This gives us functionality similar (even better) to tcmalloc's transfer cache.

Mallocgc must be atomic wrt GC, but for performance reasons
don't acquirem/releasem on fast path. The code does not have
split stack checks, so it can't be preempted by GC.
Functions like roundup/add are inlined. And onM/racemalloc are nosplit.
Also add debug code that checks these assumptions.

When building golang, the environment variable GOROOT_FINAL can be set
to indicate a different installation location from the build
location. This works fine, except that the goc2c build step embeds
line numbers in the resulting c source files that refer to the build
location, no the install location.
This would not be a big deal, except that in turn the linker uses the
location of runtime/string.goc to embed the gdb script in the
resulting binary and as a net result, the debugger now complains that
the script is outside its load path (it has the install location
configured).
See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=8524 for the full
description.
Fixes#8524.

The "simpler faster garbage collector" is full of little-endian assumptions.
Instead of trying to correct all the mistakes, just give in and make
everything use bytes.

bv.data is an array of uint32s but the code was using
offsets computed for an array of bytes.
Add a test for stack GC info.

CL 128260043 updated the definition of syscall.GetPageSize to report 64k for power64 and power64le. This CL cleans up the last place where the page size was defined as 4k.

could not determine kind of name for C.issue8442foo
gcc errors for preamble:

On the machine I'm using, the hardware page size seems to be 64 kB.
Make ELF rounding and mmap quantum 64 kB to match.

In cgo, now that recursive calls to typeConv.Type() always work,
we can more robustly calculate the array sizes based on the size
of our element type.
Also, in debug/dwarf, the decision to call zeroType is made
based on a type's usage within a particular struct, but dwarf.Type
values are cached in typeCache, so the modification might affect
uses of the type in other structs. Current compilers don't appear
to share DWARF type entries for "[]foo" and "[0]foo", but they also
don't consistently share type entries in other cases. Arguably
modifying the types is an improvement in some cases, but varying
translated types according to compiler whims seems like a bad idea.
Lastly, also in debug/dwarf, zeroType only needs to rewrite the
top-level dimension, and only if the rest of the array size is
non-zero.
Fixes#8428.
