If you get a stack of PCs from Callers, it would be expected
that every PC is immediately after a call instruction, so to find
the line of the call, you look up the line for PC-1.
CL 163550043 now explicitly documents that.
The most common exception to this is the top-most return PC
on the stack, which is the entry address of the runtime.goexit
function. Subtracting 1 from that PC will end up in a different
function entirely.
To remove this special case, make the top-most return PC
goexit+PCQuantum and then implement goexit in assembly
so that the first instruction can be skipped.

Originally traceback was only used for printing the stack
when an unexpected signal came in. In that case, the
initial PC is taken from the signal and should be used
unaltered. For the callers, the PC is the return address,
which might be on the line after the call; we subtract 1
to get to the CALL instruction.
Traceback is now used for a variety of things, and for
almost all of those the initial PC is a return address,
whether from getcallerpc, or gp->sched.pc, or gp->syscallpc.
In those cases, we need to subtract 1 from this initial PC,
but the traceback code had a hard rule "never subtract 1
from the initial PC", left over from the signal handling days.
Change gentraceback to take a flag that specifies whether
we are tracing a trap.
Change traceback to default to "starting with a return PC",
which is the overwhelmingly common case.
Add tracebacktrap, like traceback but starting with a trap PC.
Use tracebacktrap in signal handlers.

goprintf is a printf-like print for Go.
It is used in the code generated by 'defer print(...)' and 'go print(...)'.
Normally print(1, 2, 3) turns into
printint(1)
printint(2)
printint(3)
but defer and go need a single function call to give the runtime;
they give the runtime something like goprintf("%d%d%d", 1, 2, 3).
Variadic functions like goprintf cannot be described in the new
type information world, so we have to replace it.
Replace with a custom function, so that defer print(1, 2, 3) turns
into
defer func(a1, a2, a3 int) {
print(a1, a2, a3)
}(1, 2, 3)
(and then the print becomes three different printints as usual).

Before this CL, if the system resolver does a very slow DNS
lookup for a particular host, all subsequent requests for that
host will hang waiting for that lookup to complete. That is
more or less expected when Dial is called with no deadline.
When Dial has a deadline, though, we can accumulate a large
number of goroutines waiting for that slow DNS lookup. Try to
avoid this problem by restarting the DNS lookup when it is
redone after a deadline is passed.
This CL also avoids creating an extra goroutine purely to
handle the deadline.
No test because we would have to simulate a slow DNS lookup
followed by a fast DNS lookup.

In theory both of these lines encode the same three fields:
a,,c
a,"",c
However, Postgres defines that when importing CSV, the unquoted
version is treated as NULL (missing), while the quoted version is
treated as a string value (empty string). If the middle field is supposed to
be an integer value, the first line can be imported (NULL is okay), but
the second line cannot (empty string is not).
Postgres's import command (COPY FROM) has an option to force
the unquoted empty to be interpreted as a string but it does not
have an option to force the quoted empty to be interpreted as a NULL.
From http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-copy.html:
The CSV format has no standard way to distinguish a NULL
value from an empty string. PostgreSQL's COPY handles this
by quoting. A NULL is output as the NULL parameter string
and is not quoted, while a non-NULL value matching the NULL
parameter string is quoted. For example, with the default
settings, a NULL is written as an unquoted empty string,
while an empty string data value is written with double
quotes (""). Reading values follows similar rules. You can
use FORCE_NOT_NULL to prevent NULL input comparisons for
specific columns.
Therefore printing the unquoted empty is more flexible for
imports into Postgres than printing the quoted empty.
In addition to making the output more useful with Postgres, not
quoting empty strings makes the output smaller and easier to read.
It also matches the behavior of Microsoft Excel and Google Drive.
Since we are here and making concessions for Postgres, handle this
case too (again quoting the Postgres docs):
Because backslash is not a special character in the CSV
format, \., the end-of-data marker, could also appear as a
data value. To avoid any misinterpretation, a \. data value
appearing as a lone entry on a line is automatically quoted
on output, and on input, if quoted, is not interpreted as
the end-of-data marker. If you are loading a file created by
another application that has a single unquoted column and
might have a value of \., you might need to quote that value
in the input file.

cmd/cgo: disable clang's integrated assembler
Fixes#8348.
Clang's internal assembler (introduced by default in clang 3.4) understands the .arch directive, but doesn't change the default value of -march. This causes the build to fail when we use BLX (armv5 and above) when clang is compiled for the default armv4t architecture (which appears to be the default on all the distros I've used).
This is probably a clang bug, so work around it for the time being by disabling the integrated assembler when compiling the cgo assembly shim.
This CL also includes a small change to ldelf.c which was required as clang 3.4 and above generate more weird symtab entries.

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.

It looks like build.golang.org stopped before that,
but it's worth a shot.

runtime: make pprof a little nicer
Update #8942
This does not fully address issue 8942 but it does make
the profiles much more useful, until that issue can be
fixed completely.

It cannot run 'go tool pprof'. There is no guarantee that's installed.
It needs to build a temporary pprof binary and run that.
It also needs to skip the test on systems that can't build and
run binaries, namely android and nacl.
See src/cmd/nm/nm_test.go's TestNM for a template.
Update #8867
Status: Accepted

There are 3 issues:
1. Skip argument of callers is off by 3,
so that all allocations are deep inside of memory profiler.
2. Memory profiling statistics are not updated after runtime.GC.
3. Testing package does not update memory profiling statistics
before capturing the profile.
Also add an end-to-end test.
Fixes#8867.

Both of these forms can avoid writing to the base pointer in x
(in the slice, always, and in the append, most of the time).
For Go 1.5, will need to change the compilation of x = x[0:y]
to avoid writing to the base pointer, so that the elision is safe,
and will need to change the compilation of x = append(x, ...)
to write to the base pointer (through a barrier) only when
growing the underlying array, so that the general elision is safe.
For Go 1.4, elide the write barrier always, a change that should
have equivalent performance characteristics but is much
simpler and therefore safer.

A new attack on CBC padding in SSLv3 was released yesterday[1]. Go only
supports SSLv3 as a server, not as a client. An easy fix is to change
the default minimum version to TLS 1.0 but that seems a little much
this late in the 1.4 process as it may break some things.
Thus this patch adds server support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV[2] -- a
mechanism for solving the fallback problem overall. Chrome has
implemented this since February and Google has urged others to do so in
light of yesterday's news.
With this change, clients can indicate that they are doing a fallback
connection and Go servers will be able to correctly reject them.

Among other things, *x = T{} does not need a write barrier.
The changes here avoid an unnecessary copy even when
no pointers are involved, so it may have larger effects.
In 6g and 8g, avoid manually repeated STOSQ in favor of
writing explicit MOVs, under the theory that the MOVs
should have fewer dependencies and pipeline better.
Benchmarks compare best of 5 on a 2012 MacBook Pro Core i5
with TurboBoost disabled. Most improvements can be explained
by the changes in this CL.
The effect in Revcomp is real but harder to explain: none of
the instructions in the inner loop changed. I suspect loop
alignment but really have no idea.

A Go prototype can be used instead now, and the compiler
will do a better job than we will doing it by hand.
(We got it wrong in amd64p32, causing the current build
breakage.)
The auto-prototype-matching only applies to functions
without an explicit package path, so the TEXT lines for
reflectcall and callXX are s/runtime·/·/.

The http package by default adds "Accept-Encoding: gzip" to outgoing
requests, unless it's a bad idea, or the user requested otherwise.
Only when the http package adds its own implicit Accept-Encoding header
does the http package also transparently un-gzip the response.
If the user requested part of a document (e.g. bytes 40 to 50), it appears
that Github/Varnish send:
range(gzip(content), 40, 50)
And not:
gzip(range(content, 40, 50))
The RFC 2616 set of replacements (with the purpose of
clarifying ambiguities since 1999) has an RFC about Range
requests (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233) but does not
mention the interaction with encodings.
Regardless of whether range(gzip(content)) or gzip(range(content)) is
correct, this change prevents the Go package from asking for gzip
in requests if we're also asking for Range, avoiding the issue.
If the user cared, they can do it themselves. But Go transparently
un-gzipping a fragment of gzip is never useful.

When the Import function in go/build encounters a directory
without any buildable Go source files, it returns a handy
NoGoError. Now if, instead it encounters multiple Go source files
from multiple packages, it returns a handy MultiplePackageError.
A new test for NoGoError and MultiplePackageError is also provided.

The racewalk code was not updated for the new write barriers.
Make it more future-proof.
The new write barrier code assumed that +1 pointer would
be aligned properly for any type that might follow, but that's
not true on 32-bit systems where some types are 64-bit aligned.
The only system like that today is nacl/amd64p32.
Insert a dummy pointer so that the ambiguously typed
value is at +2 pointers, which is always max-aligned.
