This is a simple tweak to allow a bit more mid-stack inlining.
In cases like this:
func f() {
g()
}
We'd really like to inline f into its callers. It can't hurt.
We implement this optimization by making calls a bit cheaper, enough
to afford a single call in the function body, but not 2.
The remaining budget allows for some argument modification, or perhaps
a wrapping conditional:
func f(x int) {
g(x, 0)
}
func f(x int) {
if x > 0 {
g()
}
}

The previous CL introduced stack objects. This CL removes the old
ambiguously live liveness analysis. After this CL we're relying
on stack objects exclusively.
Update a bunch of liveness tests to reflect the new world.

The general policy for the current state of js/wasm is that it only
has to support tests that are also supported by nacl.
The test nilptr3.go makes assumptions about which nil checks can be
removed. Since WebAssembly does not signal on reading a null pointer,
all nil checks have to be explicit.

The package unsafe docs say it's safe to convert an unsafe.Pointer to
uintptr in the argument list to an assembly function, but it was
erroneously only detecting normal pointers converted to unsafe.Pointer
and then to intptr.

This is an extension of
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/31662/
to mark all the temporaries, not just the ssa-generated ones.
Before-and-after ls -l `go tool -n compile` shows a 3%
reduction in size (or rather, a prior 3% inflation for
failing to filter temps out properly.)
Replaced name-dependent "is it a temp?" tests with calls to
*Node.IsAutoTmp(), which depends on AutoTemp. Also replace
calls to istemp(n) with n.IsAutoTmp(), to reduce duplication
and clean up function name space. Generated temporaries
now come with a "." prefix to avoid (apparently harmless)
clashes with legal Go variable names.
Fixes#17644.

Consider this code:
func f(*int)
func g() {
p := new(int)
f(p)
}
where f is an assembly function.
In general liveness analysis assumes that during the call to f, p is dead
in this frame. If f has retained p, p will be found alive in f's frame and keep
the new(int) from being garbage collected. This is all correct and works.
We use the Go func declaration for f to give the assembly function
liveness information (the arguments are assumed live for the entire call).
Now consider this code:
func h1() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
}
Here syscall.Syscall is taking the place of f, but because its arguments
are uintptr, the liveness analysis and the garbage collector ignore them.
Since p is no longer live in h once the call starts, if the garbage collector
scans the stack while the system call is blocked, it will find no reference
to the new(int) and reclaim it. If the kernel is going to write to *p once
the call finishes, reclaiming the memory is a mistake.
We can't change the arguments or the liveness information for
syscall.Syscall itself, both for compatibility and because sometimes the
arguments really are integers, and the garbage collector will get quite upset
if it finds an integer where it expects a pointer. The problem is that
these arguments are fundamentally untyped.
The solution we have taken in the syscall package's wrappers in past
releases is to insert a call to a dummy function named "use", to make
it look like the argument is live during the call to syscall.Syscall:
func h2() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
use(unsafe.Pointer(p))
}
Keeping p alive during the call means that if the garbage collector
scans the stack during the system call now, it will find the reference to p.
Unfortunately, this approach is not available to users outside syscall,
because 'use' is unexported, and people also have to realize they need
to use it and do so. There is much existing code using syscall.Syscall
without a 'use'-like function. That code will fail very occasionally in
mysterious ways (see #13372).
This CL fixes all that existing code by making the compiler do the right
thing automatically, without any code modifications. That is, it takes h1
above, which is incorrect code today, and makes it correct code.
Specifically, if the compiler sees a foreign func definition (one
without a body) that has uintptr arguments, it marks those arguments
as "unsafe uintptrs". If it later sees the function being called
with uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(x)) as an argument, it arranges to mark x
as having escaped, and it makes sure to hold x in a live temporary
variable until the call returns, so that the garbage collector cannot
reclaim whatever heap memory x points to.
For now I am leaving the explicit calls to use in package syscall,
but they can be removed early in a future cycle (likely Go 1.7).
The rule has no effect on escape analysis, only on liveness analysis.
Fixes#13372.
