To date, the C compilers and Go compilers differed only in how
values were returned from functions. This made it difficult to call
Go from C or C from Go if return values were involved. It also made
assembly called from Go and assembly called from C different.
This CL changes the C compiler to use the Go conventions, passing
results on the stack, after the arguments.
[Exception: this does not apply to C ... functions, because you can't
know where on the stack the arguments end.]
By doing this, the CL makes it possible to rewrite C functions into Go
one at a time, without worrying about which languages call that
function or which languages it calls.
This CL also updates all the assembly files in package runtime to use
the new conventions. Argument references of the form 40(SP) have
been rewritten to the form name+10(FP) instead, and there are now
Go func prototypes for every assembly function called from C or Go.
This means that 'go vet runtime' checks effectively every assembly
function, and go vet's output was used to automate the bulk of the
conversion.
Some functions, like seek and nsec on Plan 9, needed to be rewritten.
Many assembly routines called from C were reading arguments
incorrectly, using MOVL instead of MOVQ or vice versa, especially on
the less used systems like openbsd.
These were found by go vet and have been corrected too.
If we're lucky, this may reduce flakiness on those systems.
Tested on:
darwin/386
darwin/amd64
linux/arm
linux/386
linux/amd64
If this breaks another system, the bug is almost certainly in the
sys_$GOOS_$GOARCH.s file, since the rest of the CL is tested
by the combination of the above systems.

Every change to g->atomicstatus is now done atomically so that we can
ensure that all gs pass through a gc safepoint on demand. This allows
the GC to move from one phase to the next safely. In some phases the
stack will be scanned. This CL only deals with the infrastructure that
allows g->atomicstatus to go from one state to another. Future CLs
will deal with scanning and monitoring what phase the GC is in.
The major change was to moving to using a Gscan bit to indicate that
the status is in a scan state. The only bug fix was in oldstack where
I wasn't moving to a Gcopystack state in order to block scanning until
the new stack was in place. The proc.go file is waiting for an atomic
load instruction.

There are both many callers and many implementations of these
interfaces, so make the contract explicit. Callers generally
assume this, and at least the standard library and other
implementations obey this, but it's never stated explicitly,
making it somewhat risky to assume.

Once and for all.

I've messed it before. To test scavenger-related changes
one needs to alter the constants during final testing.
And then it's very easy to submit with the altered constants.

Before, a slice with cap=0 or a string with len=0 might have its
base pointer pointing beyond the actual slice/string data into
the next block. The collector had to ignore slices and strings with
cap=0 in order to avoid misinterpreting the base pointer.
Now, a slice with cap=0 or a string with len=0 still has a base
pointer pointing into the actual slice/string data, no matter what.
The collector can now always scan the pointer, which means
strings and slices are no longer special.

Normally, an expression of the form x.f or *y can be reordered
with function calls and communications.
Select is stricter than normal: each channel expression is evaluated
in source order. If you have case <-x.f and case <-foo(), then if the
evaluation of x.f causes a panic, foo must not have been called.
(This is in contrast to an expression like x.f + foo().)
Enforce this stricter ordering.
