This CL is an aggregate of 10271047, 10499043, 9733044. Descriptions of each follow:
10499043
runtime,cmd/ld: Merge TLS symbols and teach 5l about ARM TLS
This CL prepares for external linking support to ARM.
The pseudo-symbols runtime.g and runtime.m are merged into a single
runtime.tlsgm symbol. When external linking, the offset of a thread local
variable is stored at a memory location instead of being embedded into a offset
of a ldr instruction. With a single runtime.tlsgm symbol for both g and m, only
one such offset is needed.
The larger part of this CL moves TLS code from gcc compiled to internally
compiled. The TLS code now uses the modern MRC instruction, and 5l is taught
about TLS fallbacks in case the instruction is not available or appropriate.
10271047
This CL adds support for -linkmode external to 5l.
For 5l itself, use addrel to allow for D_CALL relocations to be handled by the
host linker. Of the cases listed in rsc's comment in issue 4069, only case 5 and
63 needed an update. One of the TODO: addrel cases was since replaced, and the
rest of the cases are either covered by indirection through addpool (cases with
LTO or LFROM flags) or stubs (case 74). The addpool cases are covered because
addpool emits AWORD instructions, which in turn are handled by case 11.
In the runtime, change the argv argument in the rt0* functions slightly to be a
pointer to the argv list, instead of relying on a particular location of argv.
9733044
The -shared flag to 6l outputs a shared library, implemented in Go
and callable from non-Go programs such as C.
The main part of this CL change the thread local storage model.
Go uses the fastest and least general mode, local exec. TLS data in shared
libraries normally requires at least the local dynamic mode, however, this CL
instead opts for using the initial exec mode. Initial exec mode is faster than
local dynamic mode and can be used in linux since the linker has reserved a
limited amount of TLS space for performance sensitive TLS code.
Initial exec mode requires an extra load from the GOT table to determine the
TLS offset. This penalty will not be paid if ld is not in -shared mode, since
TLS accesses will be reduced to local exec.
The elf sections .init_array and .rela.init_array are added to register the Go
runtime entry with cgo at library load time.
The "hidden" attribute is added to Cgo functions called from Go, since Go
does not generate call through the GOT table, and adding non-GOT relocations for
a global function is not supported by gcc. Cgo symbols don't need to be global
and avoiding the GOT table is also faster.
The changes to 8l are only removes code relevant to the old -shared mode where
internal linking was used.
This CL only address the low level linker work. It can be submitted by itself,
but to be useful, the runtime changes in CL 9738047 is also needed.

Prior to this change, pointer maps encoded the disposition of
a word using a single bit. A zero signaled a non-pointer
value and a one signaled a pointer value. Interface values,
which are a effectively a union type, were conservatively
labeled as a pointer.
This change widens the logical element size of the pointer map
to two bits per word. As before, zero signals a non-pointer
value and one signals a pointer value. Additionally, a two
signals an iface pointer and a three signals an eface pointer.
Following other changes to the runtime, values two and three
will allow a type information to drive interpretation of the
subsequent word so only those interface values containing a
pointer value will be scanned.

That's unfortunate, but the profiles were often wrong and, worse,
it was difficult to tell whether the profile was wrong or not.
The workarounds were making the scheduler more complex,
possibly caused a deadlock (see issue 5519), and did not actually
deliver reliable results.
It may be possible for adventurous users to apply a patch to
their kernels to get working results, or perhaps having no results

Windows dynamic priority boosting assumes that a process has different types
of dedicated threads -- GUI, IO, computational, etc. Go processes use
equivalent threads that all do a mix of GUI, IO, computations, etc.
In such context dynamic priority boosting does nothing but harm, so turn it off.

It's okay to preempt at ordinary function calls because
compilers arrange that there are no live registers to save
on entry to the function call.
The software floating point routines are function calls
masquerading as individual machine instructions. They are
expected to keep all the registers intact. In particular,
they are expected not to clobber all the floating point
registers.
The floating point registers are kept per-M, because they
are not live at non-preemptive goroutine scheduling events,
and so keeping them per-M reduces the number of 132-byte
register blocks we are keeping in memory.
Because they are per-M, allowing the goroutine to be
rescheduled during software floating point simulation
would mean some other goroutine could overwrite the registers
or perhaps the goroutine would continue running on a different
M entirely.
Disallow preemption during the software floating point
routines to make sure that a function full of floating point
instructions has the same floating point registers throughout
its execution.

complete the call to exitsyscall (inside cgocallbackg at least for now)
without any stack split checks, meaning that the whole sequence
has to work within 128 bytes of stack, unless we increase the size
of the red zone. This CL frees up 24 bytes along that critical path
on amd64. (The 32-bit systems have plenty of space because all
their words are smaller.)

If the stack frame size is larger than the known-unmapped region at the
bottom of the address space, then the stack split prologue cannot use the usual
condition:
SP - size >= stackguard
because SP - size may wrap around to a very large number.
Instead, if the stack frame is large, the prologue tests:
SP - stackguard >= size
(This ends up being a few instructions more expensive, so we don't do it always.)
Preemption requests register by setting stackguard to a very large value, so
that the first test (SP - size >= stackguard) cannot possibly succeed.
Unfortunately, that same very large value causes a wraparound in the
second test (SP - stackguard >= size), making it succeed incorrectly.
To avoid *that* wraparound, we have to amend the test:
stackguard != StackPreempt && SP - stackguard >= size
This test is only used for functions with large frames, which essentially
always split the stack, so the cost of the few instructions is noise.
This CL and CL 11085043 together fix the known issues with preemption,
at the beginning of a function, so we will be able to try turning it on again.

Until now, the goroutine state has been scattered during the
execution of newstack and oldstack. It's all there, and those routines
know how to get back to a working goroutine, but other pieces of
the system, like stack traces, do not. If something does interrupt
the newstack or oldstack execution, the rest of the system can't
understand the goroutine. For example, if newstack decides there
is an overflow and calls throw, the stack tracer wouldn't dump the
goroutine correctly.
For newstack to save a useful state snapshot, it needs to be able
to rewind the PC in the function that triggered the split back to
the beginning of the function. (The PC is a few instructions in, just
after the call to morestack.) To make that possible, we change the
prologues to insert a jmp back to the beginning of the function
after the call to morestack. That is, the prologue used to be roughly:
TEXT myfunc
check for split
jmpcond nosplit
call morestack
nosplit:
sub $xxx, sp
Now an extra instruction is inserted after the call:
TEXT myfunc
start:
check for split
jmpcond nosplit
call morestack
jmp start
nosplit:
sub $xxx, sp
The jmp is not executed directly. It is decoded and simulated by
runtime.rewindmorestack to discover the beginning of the function,
and then the call to morestack returns directly to the start label
instead of to the jump instruction. So logically the jmp is still
executed, just not by the cpu.
The prologue thus repeats in the case of a function that needs a
stack split, but against the cost of the split itself, the extra few
instructions are noise. The repeated prologue has the nice effect of
making a stack split double-check that the new stack is big enough:
if morestack happens to return on a too-small stack, we'll now notice
before corruption happens.
The ability for newstack to rewind to the beginning of the function
should help preemption too. If newstack decides that it was called
for preemption instead of a stack split, it now has the goroutine state
correctly paused if rescheduling is needed, and when the goroutine
can run again, it can return to the start label on its original stack
and re-execute the split check.
Here is an example of a split stack overflow showing the full
trace, without any special cases in the stack printer.
(This one was triggered by making the split check incorrect.)

In starttheworld() we assume that P's with local work
are situated in the beginning of idle P list.
However, once we start the first M, it can execute all local G's
and steal G's from other P's.
That breaks the assumption above. Thus starttheworld() will fail
to start some P's with local work.
It seems that it can not lead to very bad things, but still
it's wrong and breaks other assumtions
(e.g. we can have a spinning M with local work).
The fix is to collect all P's with local work first,
and only then start them.

The garbage collection routine addframeroots is duplicating
logic in the traceback routine that calls it, sometimes correctly,
sometimes incorrectly, sometimes incompletely.
Pass necessary information to addframeroots instead of
deriving it anew.
Should make addframeroots significantly more robust.
It's certainly smaller.
Also try to standardize on uintptr for saved pc, sp values.
Will make CL 10036044 trivial.

Before this change, grow work was done only
during map writes to ensure multithreaded safety.
This can lead to maps remaining in a partially
grown state for a long time, potentially forever.
This change allows grow work to happen during reads,
which will lead to grow work finishing sooner, making
the resulting map smaller and faster.
Grow work is not done in parallel. Reads can
happen in parallel while grow work is happening.

A nosplits was assumed to have no argument information and no
pointer map. However, nosplits created by the linker often
have both. This change uses the pointer map size as an
alternate source of argument size when processing a nosplit.
In addition, the symbol table construction pointer map size
and argument size consistency check is strengthened. If a
nptrs is greater than 0 it must be equal to the number of
argument words.

Thanks Lucio for the suggestion.
PS: yes, this could be considered a big change (but not an API change), but
as it turns out even temporarily changes R9/R10 in user code is unsafe and
leads to very hard to diagnose problems later, better to disable using R9/R10
when the user first uses it.

With this change the compiler emits a bitmap for each function
covering its stack frame arguments area. If an argument word
is known to contain a pointer, a bit is set. The garbage
collector reads this information when scanning the stack by
frames and uses it to ignores locations known to not contain a
pointer.

When cgo is used, runtime creates an additional M to handle callbacks on threads not created by Go.
This effectively disabled deadlock detection, which is a right thing, because Go program can be blocked
and only serve callbacks on external threads.
This also disables deadlock detection under race detector, because it happens to use cgo.
With this change the additional M is created lazily on first cgo call. So deadlock detector
works for programs that import "C", "net" or "net/http/pprof" but do not use them in fact.
Also fixes deadlock detector under race detector.
It should be fine to create the M later, because C code can not call into Go before first cgo call,
because C code does not know when Go initialization has completed. So a Go program need to call into C
first either to create an external thread, or notify a thread created in global ctor that Go
initialization has completed.
Fixes#4973.
Fixes#5475.
