The deadlock episodically occurs on misc/cgo/test/TestCthread.
The problem is that starttheworld() leaves some P's with local work
without M's. Then all active M's enter into syscalls, but reject to
wake another M's due to the following check (both in entersyscallblock() and in retake()):
if(p->runqhead == p->runqtail &&
runtime·atomicload(&runtime·sched.nmspinning) +
runtime·atomicload(&runtime·sched.npidle) > 0)
continue;

Still to do: non-linux and non-amd64.
It may work on other ELF-based amd64 systems too, but untested.
"go test -ldflags -hostobj $GOROOT/misc/cgo/test" passes.
Much may yet change, but this seems a reasonable checkpoint.

Now the default startup is that the program begins at _rt0_amd64_$GOOS,
which sets DI = argc, SI = argv and jumps to _rt0_amd64.
This makes the _rt0_amd64 entry match the expected semantics for
the standard C "main" function, which we can now provide for use when
linking against a standard C library.

traceback_arm fails with a missing pc. It needs CL 7494043.
But that only makes the build break later, this time with
"invalid freelist". Roll back until it can be fixed correctly.

Fixes#4904.
The problem was that when the test runs the heap had grown to ~100MB,
so GC allows it to grow to 200MB, and so the test fails.
Moving the test to a separate process makes it much more isolated and stable.

There are some function pointers declared by 6c in
package runtime without initialization and then also
declared in package runtime/cgo with initialization,
so that if runtime/cgo is linked in, the function pointers
are non-nil, and otherwise they are nil. We depend on
this property for implementing non-essential cgo hooks
in package runtime.
The declarations in package runtime are 6c-compiled
and end up in .6 files. The declarations in package runtime/cgo
are gcc-compiled and end up in .o files. Since 6l links the .6
and .o files together, this all works.
However, when we switch to "external linking" mode,
6l will not see the .o files, and it would be up to the host linker
to resolve the two into a single initialized symbol.
Not all host linkers will do this (in particular OS X gcc will not).
To fix this, move the cgo declarations into 6c-compiled code,
so that they end up in .6 files, so that 6l gets them no matter what.

The naming in this package is a disaster.
Make it all consistent.
Remove some 'static' from functions that will
be referred to from other files soon.
This CL is purely renames using global search and replace.
Submitting separately so that real changes will not
be drowned out by these renames in future CLs.

runtime: double-check that symbol table is sorted
If the symbol table is unsorted, the binary search in findfunc
will not find its func, which will make stack traces stop early.
When the garbage collector starts using the stack tracer,
that would be a serious problem.
The unsorted symbol addresses came from from two things:
1. The symbols in an ELF object are not necessarily sorted,
so sort them before adding them to the symbol list.
2. The __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx symbol is present in multiple
object files and was having its address adjusted multiple
times, producing an incorrect address in the symbol table.

The current code uses 64-bit pc-relative on 64-bit systems,
but in ELF linkers there is no such thing, so we cannot
express this in a .o file. Change to 32-bit.

This CL changes the encoding used for the Go symbol table,
stored in the binary and used at run time. It does not change
any of the semantics or structure: the bits are just packed
a little differently.
The comment at the top of runtime/symtab.c describes the new format.
Compared to the Go 1.0 format, the main changes are:
* Store symbol addresses as full-pointer-sized host-endian values.
(For 6g, this means addresses are 64-bit little-endian.)
* Store other values (frame sizes and so on) varint-encoded.
The second change more than compensates for the first:
for the godoc binary on OS X/amd64, the new symbol table
is 8% smaller than the old symbol table (1,425,668 down from 1,546,276).
This is a required step for allowing the host linker (gcc) to write
the final Go binary, since it will have to fill in the symbol address slots
(so the slots must be host-endian) and on 64-bit systems it may
choose addresses above 4 GB.
