0436a89a2c spec: be more explicit about equivalence of empty string and absent field tags
Note that the spec already makes that point with a comment in the very first
example for struct field tags. This change is simply stating this explicitly
in the actual spec prose.

- gccgo and go/types already follow this rule
- the current reflect package API doesn't distinguish between absent tags
  and empty tags (i.e., there is no discoverable difference)

Fixes #15412.

b5ddbb90bf spec: refine rules about terminating statements
Per a suggestion from mdempsky.

Both gc and gccgo consider a statement list as terminating if the
last _non_empty_ statement is terminating; i.e., trailing semis are
ok. Only gotype followed the current stricter rule in the spec.

This change adjusts the spec to match gc and gccgo behavior. In
support of this change, the spec has a matching rule for fallthrough,
which in valid positions may be followed by trailing semis as well.

For details and examples, see the issue below.

Fixes #14422.

351c15f1ce all: remove public named return values when useless
Named returned values should only be used on public funcs and methods
when it contributes to the documentation.

Named return values should not be used if they're only saving the
programmer a few lines of code inside the body of the function,
especially if that means there's stutter in the documentation or it
was only there so the programmer could use a naked return
statement. (Naked returns should not be used except in very small
functions)

This change is a manual audit & cleanup of public func signatures.

Signatures were not changed if:

* the func was private (wouldn't be in public godoc)
* the documentation referenced it
* the named return value was an interesting name. (i.e. it wasn't
  simply stutter, repeating the name of the type)

There should be no changes in behavior. (At least: none intended)

1ac637c766 cmd/compile: recognize Syscall-like functions for liveness analysis
Consider this code:

	func f(*int)

	func g() {
		p := new(int)
		f(p)
	}

where f is an assembly function.
In general liveness analysis assumes that during the call to f, p is dead
in this frame. If f has retained p, p will be found alive in f's frame and keep
the new(int) from being garbage collected. This is all correct and works.
We use the Go func declaration for f to give the assembly function
liveness information (the arguments are assumed live for the entire call).

Now consider this code:

	func h1() {
		p := new(int)
		syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
	}

Here syscall.Syscall is taking the place of f, but because its arguments
are uintptr, the liveness analysis and the garbage collector ignore them.
Since p is no longer live in h once the call starts, if the garbage collector
scans the stack while the system call is blocked, it will find no reference
to the new(int) and reclaim it. If the kernel is going to write to *p once
the call finishes, reclaiming the memory is a mistake.

We can't change the arguments or the liveness information for
syscall.Syscall itself, both for compatibility and because sometimes the
arguments really are integers, and the garbage collector will get quite upset
if it finds an integer where it expects a pointer. The problem is that
these arguments are fundamentally untyped.

The solution we have taken in the syscall package's wrappers in past
releases is to insert a call to a dummy function named "use", to make
it look like the argument is live during the call to syscall.Syscall:

	func h2() {
		p := new(int)
		syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
		use(unsafe.Pointer(p))
	}

Keeping p alive during the call means that if the garbage collector
scans the stack during the system call now, it will find the reference to p.

Unfortunately, this approach is not available to users outside syscall,
because 'use' is unexported, and people also have to realize they need
to use it and do so. There is much existing code using syscall.Syscall
without a 'use'-like function. That code will fail very occasionally in
mysterious ways (see #13372).

This CL fixes all that existing code by making the compiler do the right
thing automatically, without any code modifications. That is, it takes h1
above, which is incorrect code today, and makes it correct code.

Specifically, if the compiler sees a foreign func definition (one
without a body) that has uintptr arguments, it marks those arguments
as "unsafe uintptrs". If it later sees the function being called
with uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(x)) as an argument, it arranges to mark x
as having escaped, and it makes sure to hold x in a live temporary
variable until the call returns, so that the garbage collector cannot
reclaim whatever heap memory x points to.

For now I am leaving the explicit calls to use in package syscall,
but they can be removed early in a future cycle (likely Go 1.7).

The rule has no effect on escape analysis, only on liveness analysis.

Fixes #13372.
