Currently we do the following dance after sweeping a span:
1. lock mcentral
2. remove the span from a list
3. unlock mcentral
4. unmark span
5. lock mheap
6. insert the span into heap
7. unlock mheap
8. lock mcentral
9. observe empty list
10. unlock mcentral
11. lock mheap
12. grab the span
13. unlock mheap
14. mark span
15. lock mcentral
16. insert the span into empty list
17. unlock mcentral
This change short-circuits this sequence to nothing,
that is, we just cache and use the span after sweeping.
This gives us functionality similar (even better) to tcmalloc's transfer cache.

Mallocgc must be atomic wrt GC, but for performance reasons
don't acquirem/releasem on fast path. The code does not have
split stack checks, so it can't be preempted by GC.
Functions like roundup/add are inlined. And onM/racemalloc are nosplit.
Also add debug code that checks these assumptions.

When building golang, the environment variable GOROOT_FINAL can be set
to indicate a different installation location from the build
location. This works fine, except that the goc2c build step embeds
line numbers in the resulting c source files that refer to the build
location, no the install location.
This would not be a big deal, except that in turn the linker uses the
location of runtime/string.goc to embed the gdb script in the
resulting binary and as a net result, the debugger now complains that
the script is outside its load path (it has the install location
configured).
See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=8524 for the full
description.
Fixes#8524.

In cgo, now that recursive calls to typeConv.Type() always work,
we can more robustly calculate the array sizes based on the size
of our element type.
Also, in debug/dwarf, the decision to call zeroType is made
based on a type's usage within a particular struct, but dwarf.Type
values are cached in typeCache, so the modification might affect
uses of the type in other structs. Current compilers don't appear
to share DWARF type entries for "[]foo" and "[0]foo", but they also
don't consistently share type entries in other cases. Arguably
modifying the types is an improvement in some cases, but varying
translated types according to compiler whims seems like a bad idea.
Lastly, also in debug/dwarf, zeroType only needs to rewrite the
top-level dimension, and only if the rest of the array size is
non-zero.
Fixes#8428.

Restore https://golang.org/cl/41040043 after GC rewrite.
Original description:
On the plus side, we don't need to change the bits on malloc and free.
On the downside, we need to mark objects in the free lists during GC.
But the free lists are small at GC time, so it should be a net win.

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).
