Currently, various functions are marked with the comment
// May run without a P, so write barriers are not allowed.
However, "running without a P" is ambiguous. We intended these to mean
that m.p may be nil (which is the condition checked by the write
barrier). The comment could also be taken to mean that a
stop-the-world may happen, which is not the case for these functions
because they run in situations where there is in fact a function on
the stack holding a P locally, it just isn't in m.p.
Change these comments to state precisely what we mean, that m.p may be
nil.

handoffp by definition runs without a P, so it's not allowed to have
write barriers. It doesn't have any right now, but mark it
nowritebarrier to disallow any creeping in in the future. handoffp in
turns calls startm, newm, and newosproc, all of which are "below Go"
and make sense to run without a P, so disallow write barriers in these
as well.
For most functions, we've done this because they may race with
stoptheworld() and hence must not have write barriers. For these
functions, it's a little different: the world can't stop while we're
in handoffp, so this race isn't present. But we implement this
restriction with a somewhat broader rule that you can't have a write
barrier without a P. We like this rule because it's simple and means
that our write barriers can depend on there being a P, even though
this rule is actually a little broader than necessary. Hence, even
though there's no danger of the race in these functions, we want to
adhere to the broader rule.

Normally, a panic/throw only shows the thread stack for the current thread
and all paused goroutines. Goroutines running on other threads, or other threads
running on their system stacks, are opaque. Change that when GODEBUG=crash,
by passing a SIGQUIT around to all the threads when GODEBUG=crash.
If this works out reasonably well, we might make the SIGQUIT relay part of
the standard panic/throw death, perhaps eliding idle m's.

Random is bad, it can block and prevent binaries from starting.
Use urandom instead. We'd rather have bad random bits than no
random bits.

Rename "gothrow" to "throw" now that the C version of "throw"
is no longer needed.
This change is purely mechanical except in panic.go where the
old version of "throw" has been deleted.

These signals are used by glibc to broadcast setuid/setgid to all
threads and to send pthread cancellations. Unlike other signals, the
Go runtime does not intercept these because they must invoke the libc
handlers (see issues #3871 and #6997). However, because 1) these
signals may be issued asynchronously by a thread running C code to
another thread running Go code and 2) glibc does not set SA_ONSTACK
for its handlers, glibc's signal handler may be run on a Go stack.
Signal frames range from 1.5K on amd64 to many kilobytes on ppc64, so
this may overflow the Go stack and corrupt heap (or other stack) data.
Fix this by ensuring that these signal handlers have the SA_ONSTACK
flag (but not otherwise taking over the handler).
This has been a problem since Go 1.1, but it's likely that people
haven't encountered it because it only affects setuid/setgid and
pthread_cancel.
Fixes#9600.

Memory management was consolitated with the BSD ports, since
it was almost identical.
Assembly thunks are gone, being replaced by the new //go:linkname
feature.
This change supersedes CL 138390043 (runtime: convert solaris
netpoll to Go), which was previously reviewed and tested.
This change is only the first step, the port now builds,
but doesn't run. Binaries fail to exec:
ld.so.1: 6.out: fatal: 6.out: TLS requirement failure : TLS support is unavailable
Killed
This seems to happen because binaries don't link with libc.so
anymore. We will have to solve that in a different CL.
Also this change is just a rough translation of the original
C code, cleanup will come in a different CL.
[This CL is part of the removal of C code from package runtime.
See golang.org/s/dev.cc for an overview.]
