The ptrto field of the type data cannot be relied on when dynamic linking: a
type T may be defined in a module that makes no use of pointers to that type,
but another module can contain a package that imports the first one and does use
*T pointers. The second module will end up defining type data for *T and a
type.*T symbol pointing at it. It's important that calling .PtrTo() on the
refect.Type for T returns this type data and not some synthesized object, so we
need reflect to be able to find it!
Fortunately, the reflect package already has a mechanism for doing this sort of
thing: ChanOf/MapOf/etc look for pre-existing type data by name. So this change
just extends PtrTo() to consult this too, and changes the compiler to include
pointer types in the data consulted when compiling for dynamic linking.

When a reflect.Value is passed to Printf (etc.), fmt called the
String method, which does not disclose its contents. To get the
contents, one could call Value.Interface(), but that is illegal
if the Value is not exported or otherwise forbidden.
This CL improves the situation with a trivial change to the
fmt package: when we see a reflect.Value as an argument,
we treat it exactly as we treat a reflect.Value we make inside
the package. This means that we always print the
contents of the Value as if _that_ was the argument to Printf.
This is arguably a breaking change but I think it is a genuine
improvement and no greater a break than many other tweaks
we have made to formatted output from this package.
Fixes#8965.

Currently we scan maps even if k/v does not contain pointers.
This is required because overflow buckets are hanging off the main table.
This change introduces a separate array that contains pointers to all
overflow buckets and keeps them alive. Buckets themselves are marked
as containing no pointers and are not scanned by GC (if k/v does not
contain pointers).
This brings maps in line with slices and chans -- GC does not scan
their contents if elements do not contain pointers.
Currently scanning of a map[int]int with 2e8 entries (~8GB heap)
takes ~8 seconds. With this change scanning takes negligible time.

I came across this while debugging a GC problem in gccgo.
There is code in assignTo and cvtT2I that handles assignment
to all interface values. It allocates an empty interface even
if the real type is a non-empty interface. The fields are
then set for a non-empty interface, but the memory is recorded
as holding an empty interface. This means that the GC has
incorrect information.
This is extremely unlikely to fail, because the code in the GC
that handles empty interfaces looks like this:
obj = nil;
typ = eface->type;
if(typ != nil) {
if(!(typ->kind&KindDirectIface) || !(typ->kind&KindNoPointers))
obj = eface->data;
In the current runtime the condition is always true--if
KindDirectIface is set, then KindNoPointers is clear--and we
always want to set obj = eface->data. So the question is what
happens when we incorrectly store a non-empty interface value
in memory marked as an empty interface. In that case
eface->type will not be a *rtype as we expect, but will
instead be a pointer to an Itab. We are going to use this
pointer to look at a *rtype kind field. The *rtype struct
starts out like this:
type rtype struct {
size uintptr
hash uint32 // hash of type; avoids computation in hash tables
_ uint8 // unused/padding
align uint8 // alignment of variable with this type
fieldAlign uint8 // alignment of struct field with this type
kind uint8 // enumeration for C
An Itab always has at least two pointers, so on a
little-endian 64-bit system the kind field will be the high
byte of the second pointer. This will normally be zero, so
the test of typ->kind will succeed, which is what we want.
On a 32-bit system it might be possible to construct a failing
case by somehow getting the Itab for an interface with one
method to be immediately followed by a word that is all ones.
The effect would be that the test would sometimes fail and the
GC would not mark obj, leading to an invalid dangling
pointer. I have not tried to construct this test.
I noticed this in gccgo, where this error is much more likely
to cause trouble for a rather random reason: gccgo uses a
different layout of rtype, and in gccgo the kind field happens
to be the low byte of a pointer, not the high byte.

makeFuncStub and methodValueStub are used by reflect as

different arguments. Extract those arguments from the
closure data instead of assuming it is the same each time.
Because the argument map is now being extracted from the

anymore, so delete those.
