df9423f4dc doc: add a few more details about arm and ppc64 to asm.html
Update #10096

Arm64 and Ppc64 are still pretty sketchy.

Still to do: ARM64 and PPC64. These architectures are woefully underdocumented.

7aa68756c5 doc/asm: document that assembly function must use short name
e.g. ·Name instead of package·Name for automatic stack map to
be applied from its Go prototype.

The underlying reason is that liblink look up name with suffix
".args_stackmap" for the stackmap coming from its Go prototype,
but all the Go functions are named "".Name as this stage. Thus
an assembly function named package·Name will never find its
stackmap, which is named "".package.Name.args_stackmap.

Perhaps cmd/vet should give a warning for this.

8bca148a3e all: copy cmd/ld/textflag.h into pkg/GOOS_GOARCH
The file is used by assembly code to define symbols like NOSPLIT.
Having it hidden inside the cmd directory makes it hard to access
outside the standard repository.
Solution: As with a couple of other files used by cgo, copy the
file into the pkg directory and add a -I argument to the assembler
to access it. Thus one can write just
        #include "textflag.h"
in .s files.

The names in runtime are not updated because in the boot sequence the
file has not been copied yet when runtime is built. All other .s files
in the repository are updated.

Changes to doc/asm.html, src/cmd/dist/build.c, and src/cmd/go/build.go
are hand-made. The rest are just the renaming done by a global
substitution. (Yay sam).

89f185fe8a all: remove 'extern register M *m' from runtime
The runtime has historically held two dedicated values g (current goroutine)
and m (current thread) in 'extern register' slots (TLS on x86, real registers
backed by TLS on ARM).

This CL removes the extern register m; code now uses g->m.

On ARM, this frees up the register that formerly held m (R9).
This is important for NaCl, because NaCl ARM code cannot use R9 at all.

The Go 1 macrobenchmarks (those with per-op times >= 10 µs) are unaffected:

Minux previous reported larger variations, but these were caused by
run-to-run noise, not repeatable slowdowns.

Actual code changes by Minux.
I only did the docs and the benchmarking.
