Gccgo creates a struct to hold the arguments for the deferred
function. In this example the struct holds a type defined in a
different package. The bug was that gccgo tried to create an equality
function for this struct, and it implemented that function by calling
the equality function for the type defined in the other package.
Since that type is not exported, the reference to the equality
function failed at link time. Normally it is impossible for a struct
to directly contain a member that is an unexported type from another
package, but in this specific case it was possible. Fixed in gccgo
with https://codereview.appspot.com/183500043 .

The SudoG used to sit on the stack, so it was cheap to allocated
and didn't need to be cleaned up when finished.
For the conversion to Go, we had to move sudog off the stack
for a few reasons, so we added a cache of recently used sudogs
to keep allocation cheap. But we didn't add any of the necessary
cleanup before adding a SudoG to the new cache, and so the cached
SudoGs had stale pointers inside them that have caused all sorts
of awful, hard to debug problems.
CL 155760043 made sure SudoG.elem is cleaned up.
CL 150520043 made sure SudoG.selectdone is cleaned up.
This CL makes sure SudoG.next, SudoG.prev, and SudoG.waitlink
are cleaned up. I should have done this when I did the other two
fields; instead I wasted a week tracking down a leak they caused.
A dangling SudoG.waitlink can point into a sudogcache list that
has been "forgotten" in order to let the GC collect it, but that
dangling .waitlink keeps the list from being collected.
And then the list holding the SudoG with the dangling waitlink
can find itself in the same situation, and so on. We end up
with lists of lists of unusable SudoGs that are still linked into
the object graph and never collected (given the right mix of
non-trivial selects and non-channel synchronization).

One failing case this removes is:
var bytes = []byte("hello, world")
var copy_bytes = bytes
We could handle this in the compiler, but it requires special
case for a variable that is initialized to the value of a
variable that is initialized to a string literal converted to
[]byte. This seems an unlikely case--it never occurs in the
standrd library--and it seems unnecessary to write the code to
handle it.
If we do want to support this case, one approach is
https://golang.org/cl/171840043.
The other failing cases are of the form
var bx bool
var copy_bx = bx
The compiler used to initialize copy_bx to false. However,
that led to issue 7665, since bx may be initialized in non-Go
code. The compiler no longer assumes that bx must be false,
so copy_bx can not be statically initialized.
We can fix these with https://golang.org/cl/169040043
if we also pass -complete to the compiler as part of this
test. This is OK but it's too late in the release cycle.

All three cases of clearfat were wrong on power64x.
The cases that handle 1032 bytes and up and 32 bytes and up
both use MOVDU (one directly generated in a loop and the other
via duffzero), which leaves the pointer register pointing at
the *last written* address. The generated code was not
accounting for this, so the byte fill loop was re-zeroing the
last zeroed dword, rather than the bytes following the last
zeroed dword. Fix this by simply adding an additional 8 byte
offset to the byte zeroing loop.
The case that handled under 32 bytes was also wrong. It
didn't update the pointer register at all, so the byte zeroing
loop was simply re-zeroing the beginning of region. Again,
the fix is to add an offset to the byte zeroing loop to
account for this.

Originally traceback was only used for printing the stack
when an unexpected signal came in. In that case, the
initial PC is taken from the signal and should be used
unaltered. For the callers, the PC is the return address,
which might be on the line after the call; we subtract 1
to get to the CALL instruction.
Traceback is now used for a variety of things, and for
almost all of those the initial PC is a return address,
whether from getcallerpc, or gp->sched.pc, or gp->syscallpc.
In those cases, we need to subtract 1 from this initial PC,
but the traceback code had a hard rule "never subtract 1
from the initial PC", left over from the signal handling days.
Change gentraceback to take a flag that specifies whether
we are tracing a trap.
Change traceback to default to "starting with a return PC",
which is the overwhelmingly common case.
Add tracebacktrap, like traceback but starting with a trap PC.
Use tracebacktrap in signal handlers.

The test just doubled a certain number of times
and then gave up. On a mostly fast but occasionally
slow machine this may never make the test run
long enough to see the linear growth.
Change test to keep doubling until the first round
takes at least a full second, to reduce the effect of
occasional scheduling or other jitter.
The failure we saw had a time for the first round
of around 100ms.
Note that this test still passes once it sees a linear
effect, even with a very small total time.
The timeout here only applies to how long the execution
must be to support a reported failure.
