Change the linker to use a copy of the C compiler support library,
libgcc.a, when doing internal linking. This will be used to satisfy any
undefined symbols referenced by host objects.
Change the dist tool to copy the support library into a new directory
tree under GOROOT/pkg/libgcc. This ensures that libgcc is available
even when building Go programs on a system that has no C compiler. The
C compiler is required when building the Go installation in the first
place, but is not required thereafter.
Change the go tool to not link libgcc into cgo objects.
Correct the linker handling of a weak symbol in an ELF input object to
not always create a new symbol, but to use an existing symbol if there
is one; this is necessary on freebsd-amd64, where libgcc contains a weak
definition of compilerrt_abort_impl.
Fixes#9510.

Glibc uses some special signals for special thread operations. These
signals will be used in programs that use cgo and invoke certain glibc
functions, such as setgid. In order for this to work, these signals
need to not be masked by any thread. Before this change, they were
being masked by programs that used os/signal.Notify, because it
carefully masks all non-thread-specific signals in all threads so that a
dedicated thread will collect and report those signals (see ensureSigM
in signal1_unix.go).
This change adds the two glibc special signals to the set of signals
that are unmasked in each thread.

In order to fix issue #9401 the compiler was changed to add a padding
byte to any non-empty Go struct that ends in a zero-sized field. That
causes the Go version of such a C struct to have a different size than
the C struct, which can considerable confusion. Change cgo so that it
discards any such zero-sized fields, so that the Go and C structs are
the same size.
This is a change from previous releases, in that it used to be
possible to refer to a zero-sized trailing field (by taking its
address), and with this change it no longer is. That is unfortunate,
but something has to change. It seems better to visibly break
programs that do this rather than to silently break programs that rely
on the struct sizes being the same.

Ian proposed an improved way of handling signals masks in Go, motivated
by a problem where the Android java runtime expects certain signals to
be blocked for all JVM threads. Discussion here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-dev/_TSCkQHJt6g
Ian's text is used in the following:
A Go program always needs to have the synchronous signals enabled.
These are the signals for which _SigPanic is set in sigtable, namely
SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGFPE.
A Go program that uses the os/signal package, and calls signal.Notify,
needs to have at least one thread which is not blocking that signal,
but it doesn't matter much which one.
Unix programs do not change signal mask across execve. They inherit
signal masks across fork. The shell uses this fact to some extent;
for example, the job control signals (SIGTTIN, SIGTTOU, SIGTSTP) are
blocked for commands run due to backquote quoting or $().
Our current position on signal masks was not thought out. We wandered
into step by step, e.g., http://golang.org/cl/7323067 .
This CL does the following:
Introduce a new platform hook, msigsave, that saves the signal mask of
the current thread to m.sigsave.
Call msigsave from needm and newm.
In minit grab set up the signal mask from m.sigsave and unblock the
essential synchronous signals, and SIGILL, SIGTRAP, SIGPROF, SIGSTKFLT
(for systems that have it).
In unminit, restore the signal mask from m.sigsave.
The first time that os/signal.Notify is called, start a new thread whose
only purpose is to update its signal mask to make sure signals for
signal.Notify are unblocked on at least one thread.
The effect on Go programs will be that if they are invoked with some
non-synchronous signals blocked, those signals will normally be
ignored. Previously, those signals would mostly be ignored. A change
in behaviour will occur for programs started with any of these signals
blocked, if they receive the signal: SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGABRT,
SIGTERM. Previously those signals would always cause a crash (unless
using the os/signal package); with this change, they will be ignored
if the program is started with the signal blocked (and does not use
the os/signal package).
./all.bash completes successfully on linux/amd64.
OpenBSD is missing the implementation.

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.

Normally, the caller to runtime.entersyscall() must not return before
calling runtime.exitsyscall(), lest g->syscallsp become a dangling
pointer. runtime.cgocallbackg() violates this constraint. To work around
this, save g->syscallsp and g->syscallpc around cgo->Go callbacks, then
restore them after calling runtime.entersyscall(), which restores the
syscall stack frame pointer saved by cgocall. This allows the GC to
correctly trace a goroutine that is currently returning from a
Go->cgo->Go chain.
This also adds a check to proc.c that panics if g->syscallsp is clearly
invalid. It is not 100% foolproof, as it will not catch a case where the
stack was popped then pushed back beyond g->syscallsp, but it does catch
the present cgo issue and makes existing tests fail without the bugfix.
