It looks like the test for whether symbols contain subsymbols is wrong.
In particular, symbols in C libraries are mistakenly considered container
symbols.
Fix the test so only symbols which actually have a subsymbol
are excluded from the symtab. When linking cgo programs the list
of containers is small, something like:
container _/home/khr/sandbox/symtab/misc/cgo/test(.text)<74>
container _/home/khr/sandbox/symtab/misc/cgo/test/issue8828(.text)<75>
container _/home/khr/sandbox/symtab/misc/cgo/test/issue9026(.text)<76>
container runtime/cgo(.text)<77>
I'm not sure this is the right fix. In particular I can't reproduce
the original problem. Anyone have a repro they can try and see if
this fix works?

People invoking the linker directly already have to change their scripts
to use the new "go tool link", so this is a good time to make the -X flag
behave like all other Go flags and take just a single argument.
The old syntax will continue to be accepted (it is rewritten into the new
syntax before flag parsing). Maybe some day we will be able to retire it.
Even if we never retire the old syntax, having the new syntax at least
makes the rewriting much less of a kludge.

stkcheck is flow-insensitive: It processes calls in PC order.
Since morestack was always the first call in a function,
it was a safe, conservative approximation to simply adjust stack
space as we went, recognizing morestack when it showed up.
Subsequent CLS will rearrange the function prologue;
morestack may no longer be the first call in a function.
Introducing flow-sensitivity to stkcheck would allow this,
and possibly allow a smaller stackguard.
It is also a high risk change and possibly expensive.
Instead, assume that all calls to morestack occur as
part of the function prologue, no matter where they
are located in the program text.

We already read the address of a gcmask/gcprog out of the type data, but I

local symbols being present, allowing me to strip the shared libraries for

As a bonus, this makes LSym another 24 bytes smaller, down to 296 bytes now.

The motivation for this is the innocuous looking test case that is added. This
creates a stack exe -> libdep2.so -> libdep.so -> libruntime.so. The problem
comes from the fact that a function from libdep.so gets inlined all the way
into exe. This (unsurprisingly) means that the object file for exe references
symbols from libdep.so, which means that -ldep needs to be passed when linking
exe and it isn't. The fix is simply to pass it -- there is no harm in passing
it when it's not needed.
The thing is, it's not clear at all in the current code to see how the linker
can know that libdep2 is linked against libdep. It could look through the
DT_NEEDED entries in libdep2 and try to guess which are Go libraries, but it
feels better to be explicit. So this adds another SHT_NOTE section that lists
the shared libraries a shared library was linked against, and makes sure the
complete set of depended upon shared libraries is passed to the external
linker.

This makes for a more stable API for tools (including cmd/link itself) to
extract the abi hash from a shared library and makes it possible at all for a
library that has had the local symbol table removed.
The existing note-writing code only supports writing notes into the very start
of the object file so they are easy to find in core dumps. This doesn't apply
to the "go" notes and means that all notes have to fit into a fixed size
budget. That's annoying now we have more notes (and the next CL will add
another one) so this does a little bit of work to make adding notes that do not
have to go at the start of the file easier and moves the writing of the package
list note over to that mechanism, which lets me revert a hack that increased
the size budget mentioned above for -buildmode=shared builds.

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
