The "elf.h" header changes involve only comments, the released
Plan 9 C preprocessing function does not cope with multiline
comments following the #define keyword. All multiline comments
have been moved to the line above the associated definition.
Sigh! Fixing the Plan 9 compiler is not an option.
<time.h> does not exist in the Plan 9 Native library. I have
moved it from src/cmd/ld/pe.h to include/u.h. RSC correctly points
out that this copy of <u.h> is not the one used to compile the
Go release on Plan 9 platforms.

I started looking at this code because the nm in GNU
binutils was ignoring the first symbol in the .symtab
section. Apparently, the System V ABI reserves the
first entry and requires all fields inside to be set
to zero.
The list of changes is as follows:
· reserve the first symbol entry (as noted above)
· fix the section indices for .data and .bss symbols
· factor out common code for Elf32 and Elf64
· remove the special case for elfsymo in [568]l/asm.c:/^asmb
· add the "etext" symbol in 6l
· add static symbols

These changes are not particularly invasive and have been tested
as broadly as possible.
8l/l.h:
- #pragma varargck: added some, removed duplicates.
ld/dwarf.c:
- As Plan 9 has no NULL, changed all occurrences to nil.
- Added USED(size); where necessary.
- Added (void) argument in definition of finddebugruntimepath().
- Plan 9 compiler was complaining about multiple
assignments, repeaired by breaking up the commands.
- Correction: havedynamic = 1; restored.
ld/go.c:
- Needed USED(file); in two functions.
- Removed unused assignments flagged by the Plan 9 compiler.
ld/lib.c:
- Replaced unlink() with remove() which seems available everywhere.
- Removed USED(c4); and USED(magic) no longer required.
- Removed code flagged as unused by the Plan 9 compiler.
- Added attributes to a number of format strings.

This was causing a panic in the reflect package
since type.* pointers with their low bits set are
assumed to have certain flags set that disallow
the use of reflection.

Static symbols were not being marked as such.
I also made the 'z' symbols use the first byte of
the name instead of an explicit NUL so that if
the symbol table format is ever changed, the only
place that would need updating is addhist().

The list elements are already being allocated out of a
single memory buffer. We can drop the Link* pointer
following and the memory it requires, replacing it with
index operations.
The change also keeps a channel from containing a pointer
back into its own allocation block, which would create a
cycle. Blocks involved in cycles are not guaranteed to be
finalized properly, and channels depend on finalizers to
free OS-level locks on some systems. The self-reference
was keeping channels from being garbage collected.
runtime-gdb.py will need to be updated in order to dump
the content of buffered channels with the new data structure.
Fixes#1676.

The ld time was dominated by symbol table processing, so
* increase hash table size
* emit fewer symbols in gc (just 1 per string, 1 per type)
* add read-only lookup to avoid creating spurious symbols
* add linked list to speed whole-table traversals
Breaks dwarf generator (no idea why), so disable dwarf.
Reduces time for 6l to link godoc by 25%.

Fixes the broken linux/amd64 build.
The symbol table, itself a symbol, was having
its size rounded up to the nearest word boundary.
If the rounding add >7 zero bytes then it confused
the debug/gosym symbol table parser. So you've
got a 1/8 chance to hit the bug on an amd64 system.
Just started in the recent change because I fixed
the rounding to round to word boundary instead
of to 4-byte boundary.

Much of the bulk of Go binaries is the symbol tables,
which give a name to every C string, Go string,
and reflection type symbol. These names are not worth
much other than seeing what's where in a binary.
This CL deletes all those names from the symbol table,
instead aggregating the symbols into contiguous blocks
and giving them the names "string.*", "go.string.*", and "type.*".
Before:
$ 6nm $(which godoc.old) | sort | grep ' string\.' | tail -10
59eda4 D string."aa87ca22be8b05378eb1c71...
59ee08 D string."b3312fa7e23ee7e4988e056...
59ee6c D string."func(*token.FileSet, st...
59eed0 D string."func(io.Writer, []uint8...
59ef34 D string."func(*tls.Config, *tls....
59ef98 D string."func(*bool, **template....
59effc D string."method(p *printer.print...
59f060 D string."method(S *scanner.Scann...
59f12c D string."func(*struct { begin in...
59f194 D string."method(ka *tls.ecdheRSA...
$
After:
$ 6nm $(which godoc) | sort | grep ' string\.' | tail -10
5e6a30 D string.*
$
Those names in the "Before" are truncated for the CL.
In the real binary they are the complete string, up to
a certain length, or else a unique identifier.
The same applies to the type and go.string symbols.
Removing the names cuts godoc by more than half:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsc rsc 9153405 2011-03-07 23:19 godoc.old
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsc rsc 4290071 2011-03-07 23:19 godoc
For what it's worth, only 80% of what's left gets loaded
into memory; the other 20% is dwarf debugging information
only ever accessed by gdb:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsc rsc 3397787 2011-03-07 23:19 godoc.nodwarf

A reference to the address of weak.foo resolves at link time
to the address of the symbol foo if foo would end up in the
binary anyway, or to zero if foo would not be in the binary.
For example:
int xxx = 1;
int yyy = 2;
int weak·xxx;
int weak·yyy;
void main·main(void) {
runtime·printf("%p %p %p\n", &xxx, &weak·xxx, &weak·yyy);
}
prints the same non-nil address twice, then 0 (because yyy is not
referenced so it was dropped from the binary).
This will be used by the reflection tables.

The object files begin with a header that is
$GOARCH
on a line by itself. This CL changes that header to
go object $GOOS $GOARCH release.2011-01-01 4567+
where the final two fields are the most recent release
tag and the current hg version number.
All objects imported into a Go compilation or linked into an
executable must have the same header line, and that header
line must match the compiler and linker versions.
The effect of this will be that if you update and run all.bash
and then try to link in objects compiled with an earlier version
of the compiler (or invoke the wrong version of the compiler),
you will get an error showing the different headers instead
of perhaps silent incompatibility.
Normal usage with all.bash should be unaffected, because
all.bash deletes all the object files in $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_$GOARCH
and cleans all intermediate object files before starting.
This change is intended to diagnose stale objects arising when
users maintaining alternate installation directories forget to
rebuild some of their files after updating.
It should help make the adoption of $GOPATH (CL 3780043)
less error-prone.
