CL 410754 introduces a race accessing the global testHookDialTCP hook.
Avoiding this race is difficult, since Dial can return while
goroutines it starts are still running. Add a version of this
hook to sysDialer, so it can be set on a per-test basis.
(Perhaps other uses of this hook should be moved to use the
sysDialer-local hook, but this change fixes the immediate data race.)
For #52173.

This change replicates the behavior filed in issue #37015 for packages
imported from the module index. That behavior is that packages that
happen to exist in a GOPATH src directory have p.Root and p.Target set
even when the packages are loaded from modules. This is likely
unintentional behavior because in module mode, packages shouldn't behave
differently depending on whether their directories exist in GOPATH. But
for uniformity, (and because two of our tests depend on this behavior),
this CL will implement this behavior. We can remove it from the module
index when we remove it from the go/build logic.

Both GNU and LLVM linkers de facto accept `-zPARAM`, and Go sometimes
does it. Inconsistently: there are more uses of `-z PARAM` than
`-zPARAM`:
$ git grep -E -- '-Wl,-z[^,]' master | wc -l
4
$ git grep -E -- '-Wl,-z,' master | wc -l
7
However, not adding a space between `-z` and the param is not
documented:
llvm-13:
$ man ld.lld-13 | grep -E -A1 -w -- "^ +-z"
-z option
Linker option extensions.
gnu ld:
$ man ld | grep -E -A1 -w -- "^ +-z"
-z keyword
The recognized keywords are:
--
-z defs
Report unresolved symbol references from regular object files. This is done even if the linker is creating a non-symbolic
--
-z muldefs
Normally when a symbol is defined multiple times, the linker will report a fatal error. These options allow multiple definitions
--
-z
--imagic
... and thus should be avoided.
`zig cc`, when used as the C compiler (`CC="zig cc" go build ...`), will
bark, because `zig cc` accepts only `-z PARAM`, as documented.

In a set of 55M Go doc comments drawn from the latest version of
all public Go modules known to the module proxy in spring 2020,
the current Go 1.19 gofmt reformats about 1.57M of them.
Out of those 1.57M comments, inspection of random samples
shows that around 5% of the changed comments contain
unindented code snippets, multiline shell commands, or lists.
For example:
// Here is a greeting:
//
// func main() {
// fmt.Println("hello, world")
// }
// Run this command:
//
// path/to/your/program -flag1=longargument1 \
// -flag2=longargument2 \
// -flag3
// There are three possibilities:
//
// - Unindented code snippets (or JSON objects)
// in which the first and last line are unindented
// but end in { and start with }, respectively.
// - Unindented multiline shell commands
// in which the lines end in \
// - Unindented lists, in which wrapped lines are indented.
All three of these cases involve unindented lines next to indented
lines that would according to the usual rules begin a pre block.
Before this CL, they'd be reformatted to:
// Here is a greeting:
//
// func main() {
//
// fmt.Println("hello, world")
//
// }
// Run this command:
//
// path/to/your/program -flag1=longargument1 \
//
// -flag2=longargument2 \
// -flag3
// There are three possibilities:
//
// - Unindented code snippets (or JSON objects)
//
// in which the first and last line are unindented
// but end in { and start with }, respectively.
//
// - Unindented multiline shell commands
//
// in which the lines end in \
//
// - Unindented lists, in which wrapped lines are indented.
The fact that they are not already in canonical format gives us
a signal that they might not mean what the usual rules would say.
This CL takes advantage of that opening to apply a few heuristics
to better handle these cases:
1. If an indented code block immediately follows (without a blank line)
an unindented line ending in { or \, include the unindented line
in the code block.
2. If an indented code block immediately precedes (without a blank line)
an unindented line beginning with }, include the unindented line
in the code block.
3. If an indented line immediately follows (without a blank line)
an unindented line that starts with a list marker, assume this is
an unindented list with a wrapped indented line, and treat all
adjacent unindented lines starting with list markers as part of
the list, stopping at any surrounding blank lines.
This raises the fraction of “correctly” reformatted doc comments
in the corpus from approximately 87% to approximately 93%.

When building CGO internal linking on windows 386, make sure to avoid
rewriting references to "_main" to "main" when reading symbols during
host object loading; the main routine defined by the Go runtime is
still named "_main" (not "main"). If we don't do this, we wind up with
an SXREF symbol named "main", which can then cause the loader to pull
an actual "main" symbol out of a host archive, which is undesirable.

validType was using a global type info map to detect invalid recursive
types, which was incorrect. Instead, change the algorithm as follows:
- Rather than using a "seen" (or typeInfo) map which is cumbersome to
update correctly, use the stack of embedding types (the type nest)
to check whether a type is embedded within itself, directly or
indirectly.
- Use Identical for type comparisons which correctly considers identity
of instantiated generic types.
- As before, maintain the full path of types leading to a cycle. But
unlike before, track the named types rather than their objects, for
a smaller slice ([]*Named rather than []Object), and convert to an
object list only when needed for error reporting.
- As an optimization, keep track of valid *Named types (Checker.valids).
This prevents pathological cases from consuming excessive computation
time.
- Add clarifying comments and document invariants.
Based on earlier insights by David Chase (see also CL 408818).

During type-checking, newly created instances share a type checking
Context which de-duplicates identical instances. However, when
unexpanded types escape the type-checking pass or are created via calls
to Instantiate, they lack this shared context. As reported in #52728,
this may lead to infinitely many identical but distinct types that are
reachable via the API.
This CL introduces a new invariant that ensures we don't create such
infinitely expanding chains: instances created during expansion share a
context with the type that led to their creation. During expansion, the
expanding type passes its Context to any newly created instances.
This ensures that cycles will eventually terminate with a previously
seen instance. For example, if we have an instantiation chain
T1[P]->T2[P]->T3[P]->T1[P], by virtue of this Context passing the
expansion of T3[P] will find the instantiation T1[P].
In general, storing a Context in a Named type could lead to pinning
types in memory unnecessarily, but in this case the Context pins only
those types that are reachable from the original instance. This seems
like a reasonable compromise between lazy and eager expansion.
Our treatment of Context was a little haphazard: Checker.bestContext
made it easy to get a context at any point, but made it harder to reason
about which context is being used. To fix this, replace bestContext with
Checker.context, which returns the type-checking context and panics on a
nil receiver. Update all call-sites to verify that the Checker is
non-nil when context is called.
Also make it a panic to call subst with a nil context. Instead, update
subst to explicitly accept a local (=instance) context along with a
global context, and require that one of them is non-nil. Thread this
through to the call to Checker.instance, and handle context updating
there.
Fixes#52728
