We were requiring that the defer stack and the panic stack
be completely processed, thinking that if any were left over
the stack scan and the defer stack/panic stack must be out
of sync. It turns out that the panic stack may well have
leftover entries in some situations, and that's okay.

The 'continuation pc' is where the frame will continue
execution, if anywhere. For a frame that stopped execution
due to a CALL instruction, the continuation pc is immediately
after the CALL. But for a frame that stopped execution due to
a fault, the continuation pc is the pc after the most recent CALL
to deferproc in that frame, or else 0. That is where execution
will continue, if anywhere.
The liveness information is only recorded for CALL instructions.
This change makes sure that we never look for liveness information
except for CALL instructions.
Using a valid PC fixes crashes when a garbage collection or
stack copying tries to process a stack frame that has faulted.
Record continuation pc in heapdump (format change).

The old limit of 5 was chosen because we didn't actually know how
many bytes of arguments there were; 5 was a halfway point between
printing some useful information and looking ridiculous.
Now we know how many bytes of arguments there are, and we stop
the printing when we reach that point, so the "looking ridiculous" case
doesn't happen anymore: we only print actual argument words.
The cutoff now serves only to truncate very long (but real) argument lists.
In multiple debugging sessions recently (completely unrelated bugs)
I have been frustrated by not seeing more of the long argument lists:
5 words is only 2.5 interface values or strings, and not even 2 slices.
Double the max amount we'll show.

This is the same check we use during stack copying.
The check cannot be applied to C stack frames, even
though we do emit pointer bitmaps for the arguments,
because (1) the pointer bitmaps assume all arguments
are always live, not true of outputs during the prologue,
and (2) the pointer bitmaps encode interface values as
pointer pairs, not true of interfaces holding integers.
For the rest of the frames, however, we should hold ourselves
to the rule that a pointer marked live really is initialized.
The interface scanning already implicitly checks this
because it interprets the type word as a valid type pointer.
This may slow things down a little because of the extra loads.
Or it may speed things up because we don't bother enqueuing
nil pointers anymore. Enough of the rest of the system is slow
right now that we can't measure it meaningfully.
Enable for now, even if it is slow, to shake out bugs in the
liveness bitmaps, and then decide whether to turn it off
for the Go 1.3 release (issue 7650 reminds us to do this).
The new m->traceback field lets us force printing of fp=
values on all goroutine stack traces when we detect a
bad pointer. This makes it easier to understand exactly
where in the frame the bad pointer is, so that we can trace
it back to a specific variable and determine what is wrong.

On stack overflow, if all frames on the stack are
copyable, we copy the frames to a new stack twice
as large as the old one. During GC, if a G is using
less than 1/4 of its stack, copy the stack to a stack
half its size.
TODO
- Do something about C frames. When a C frame is in the
stack segment, it isn't copyable. We allocate a new segment
in this case.
- For idempotent C code, we can abort it, copy the stack,
then retry. I'm working on a separate CL for this.
- For other C code, we can raise the stackguard
to the lowest Go frame so the next call that Go frame
makes triggers a copy, which will then succeed.
- Pick a starting stack size?
The plan is that eventually we reach a point where the
stack contains only copyable frames.

Two bugs:
1. The first iteration of the traceback always uses LR when provided,
which it is (only) during a profiling signal, but in fact LR is correct
only if the stack frame has not been allocated yet. Otherwise an
intervening call may have changed LR, and the saved copy in the stack
frame should be used. Fix in traceback_arm.c.
2. The division runtime call adds 8 bytes to the stack. In order to
keep the traceback routines happy, it must copy the saved LR into
the new 0(SP). Change
SUB $8, SP
into
MOVW 0(SP), R11 // r11 is temporary, for use by linker
MOVW.W R11, -8(SP)
to update SP and 0(SP) atomically, so that the traceback always
sees a saved LR at 0(SP).

The CL causes misc/cgo/test to fail randomly.
I suspect that the problem is the use of a division instruction
in usleep, which can be called while trying to acquire an m
and therefore cannot store the denominator in m.
The solution to that would be to rewrite the code to use a
magic multiply instead of a divide, but now we're getting
pretty far off the original code.
Go back to the original in preparation for a different,
less efficient but simpler fix.
««« original CL description
cmd/5l, runtime: make ARM integer division profiler-friendly
The implementation of division constructed non-standard
stack frames that could not be handled by the traceback
routines.
CL 13239052 left the frames non-standard but fixed them
for the specific case of a divide-by-zero panic.
A profiling signal can arrive at any time, so that fix
is not sufficient.
Change the division to store the extra argument in the M struct
instead of in a new stack slot. That keeps the frames bog standard
at all times.
Also fix a related bug in the traceback code: when starting
a traceback, the LR register should be ignored if the current
function has already allocated its stack frame and saved the
original LR on the stack. The stack copy should be used, as the
LR register may have been modified.
Combined, these make the torture test from issue 6681 pass.

The various throwing > 0 finish a change started
in a previous CL, which sets throwing = -1 to mean
"don't show the internals". That gets set during the
"all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!" crash, and it
should also be set during any other expected crash
that does not indicate a problem within the runtime.
Most runtime.throw do indicate a problem within the

Until now, the goroutine state has been scattered during the
execution of newstack and oldstack. It's all there, and those routines
know how to get back to a working goroutine, but other pieces of
the system, like stack traces, do not. If something does interrupt
the newstack or oldstack execution, the rest of the system can't
understand the goroutine. For example, if newstack decides there
is an overflow and calls throw, the stack tracer wouldn't dump the
goroutine correctly.
For newstack to save a useful state snapshot, it needs to be able
to rewind the PC in the function that triggered the split back to
the beginning of the function. (The PC is a few instructions in, just
after the call to morestack.) To make that possible, we change the
prologues to insert a jmp back to the beginning of the function
after the call to morestack. That is, the prologue used to be roughly:
TEXT myfunc
check for split
jmpcond nosplit
call morestack
nosplit:
sub $xxx, sp
Now an extra instruction is inserted after the call:
TEXT myfunc
start:
check for split
jmpcond nosplit
call morestack
jmp start
nosplit:
sub $xxx, sp
The jmp is not executed directly. It is decoded and simulated by
runtime.rewindmorestack to discover the beginning of the function,
and then the call to morestack returns directly to the start label
instead of to the jump instruction. So logically the jmp is still
executed, just not by the cpu.
The prologue thus repeats in the case of a function that needs a
stack split, but against the cost of the split itself, the extra few
instructions are noise. The repeated prologue has the nice effect of
making a stack split double-check that the new stack is big enough:
if morestack happens to return on a too-small stack, we'll now notice
before corruption happens.
The ability for newstack to rewind to the beginning of the function
should help preemption too. If newstack decides that it was called
for preemption instead of a stack split, it now has the goroutine state
correctly paused if rescheduling is needed, and when the goroutine
can run again, it can return to the start label on its original stack
and re-execute the split check.
Here is an example of a split stack overflow showing the full
trace, without any special cases in the stack printer.
(This one was triggered by making the split check incorrect.)
