Update #6853
Nothing reads the Plan 9 symbol table anymore.
The last holdout was 'go tool nm', but since being rewritten in Go
it uses the standard symbol table for the binary format
(ELF, Mach-O, PE) instead.
Removing the Plan 9 symbol table saves ~15% disk space
on most binaries.
Two supporting changes included in this CL:
debug/gosym: use Go 1.2 pclntab to synthesize func-only
symbol table when there is no Plan 9 symbol table
debug/elf, debug/macho, debug/pe: ignore final EOF from ReadAt

In DWARF 4 the debug info for large types is put into
.debug_type sections, so that the linker can discard duplicate
info. This change adds support for reading type units.
Another small change included here is that DWARF 3 supports
storing the byte offset of a struct field as a formData rather
than a formDwarfBlock.

Some versions of clang generate DWARF 4-format attributes
even when using -gdwarf-2. We don't care much about the
values, but we do need to be able to parse past them.
This fixes a bug in Go 1.2 rc2 reported via private mail using

Phrases like "returns whether or not the image is opaque" could be
describing what the function does (it always returns, regardless of
the opacity) or what it returns (a boolean indicating the opacity).
Even when the "or not" is missing, the phrasing is bizarre.
Go with "reports whether", which is still clunky but at least makes
it clear we're talking about the return value.
These were edited by hand. A few were cleaned up in other ways.

This CL changes the encoding used for the Go symbol table,
stored in the binary and used at run time. It does not change
any of the semantics or structure: the bits are just packed
a little differently.
The comment at the top of runtime/symtab.c describes the new format.
Compared to the Go 1.0 format, the main changes are:
* Store symbol addresses as full-pointer-sized host-endian values.
(For 6g, this means addresses are 64-bit little-endian.)
* Store other values (frame sizes and so on) varint-encoded.
The second change more than compensates for the first:
for the godoc binary on OS X/amd64, the new symbol table
is 8% smaller than the old symbol table (1,425,668 down from 1,546,276).
This is a required step for allowing the host linker (gcc) to write
the final Go binary, since it will have to fill in the symbol address slots
(so the slots must be host-endian) and on 64-bit systems it may
choose addresses above 4 GB.

The Plan 9 symbol table format defines big-endian symbol values
for portability, but we want to be able to generate an ELF object file
and let the host linker link it, as part of the solution to issue 4069.
The symbol table itself, since it is loaded into memory at run time,
must be filled in by the final host linker, using relocation directives
to set the symbol values. On a little-endian machine, the linker will
only fill in little-endian values during relocation, so we are forced
to use little-endian symbol values.
To preserve most of the original portability of the symbol table
format, we make the table itself say whether it uses big- or
little-endian values. If the table begins with the magic sequence
fe ff ff ff 00 00
then the actual table begins after those six bytes and contains
little-endian symbol values. Otherwise, the table is in the original
format and contains big-endian symbol values. The magic sequence
looks like an "end of table" entry (the fifth byte is zero), so legacy
readers will see a little-endian table as an empty table.
All the gc architectures are little-endian today, so the practical
effect of this CL is to make all the generated tables little-endian,
but if a big-endian system comes along, ld will not generate
the magic sequence, and the various readers will fall back to the
original big-endian interpretation.

Do not skip the first symbol in the symbol table. Any other indexes
into the symbol table (for example, indexes in relocation entries)
will now refer to the symbol following the one that was intended.
Add an object that contains debug relocations, which debug/dwarf
failed to decode correctly. Extend the relocation tests to cover
this case.
Note that the existing tests passed since the symbol following the
symbol that required relocation is also of type STT_SECTION.

* disallow embedding of C type (Fixes issue 2552)
* detect 0-length array (Fixes issue 2806)
* use typedefs when possible, to avoid attribute((unavailable)) (Fixes issue 2888)
* print Go types constructed from C types using original C types (Fixes issue 2612)
This fix changes _cgo_export.h to repeat the preamble from import "C".
Otherwise the fix to issue 2612 is impossible, since it cannot refer to
types that have not been defined. If people are using //export and
putting non-header information in the preamble, they will need to
refactor their code.
