Package runtime's C functions written to be called from Go
started out written in C using carefully constructed argument
lists and the FLUSH macro to write a result back to memory.
For some functions, the appropriate parameter list ended up
being architecture-dependent due to differences in alignment,
so we added 'goc2c', which takes a .goc file containing Go func
declarations but C bodies, rewrites the Go func declaration to
equivalent C declarations for the target architecture, adds the
needed FLUSH statements, and writes out an equivalent C file.
That C file is compiled as part of package runtime.
Native Client's x86-64 support introduces the most complex
alignment rules yet, breaking many functions that could until
now be portably written in C. Using goc2c for those avoids the
breakage.
Separately, Keith's work on emitting stack information from
the C compiler would require the hand-written functions
to add #pragmas specifying how many arguments are result
parameters. Using goc2c for those avoids maintaining #pragmas.
For both reasons, use goc2c for as many Go-called C functions
as possible.
This CL is a replay of the bulk of CL 15400047 and CL 15790043,
both of which were reviewed as part of the NaCl port and are
checked in to the NaCl branch. This CL is part of bringing the
NaCl code into the main tree.
No new code here, just reformatting and occasional movement
into .h files.

Hashtable is arranged as an array of
8-entry buckets with chained overflow.
Each bucket has 8 extra hash bits
per key to provide quick lookup within
a bucket. Table is grown incrementally.

To allow these types as map keys, we must fill in
equal and hash functions in their algorithm tables.
Structs or arrays that are "just memory", like [2]int,
can and do continue to use the AMEM algorithm.
Structs or arrays that contain special values like
strings or interface values use generated functions
for both equal and hash.
The runtime helper func runtime.equal(t, x, y) bool handles
the general equality case for x == y and calls out to
the equal implementation in the algorithm table.
For short values (<= 4 struct fields or array elements),
the sequence of elementwise comparisons is inlined
instead of calling runtime.equal.

Equality on structs will require arbitrary code for type equality,
so change algorithm in type data from uint8 to table pointer.
In the process, trim top-level map structure from
104/80 bytes (64-bit/32-bit) to 24/12.
Equality on structs will require being able to call code generated
by the Go compiler, and C code has no way to access Go return
values, so change the hash and equal algorithm functions to take
a pointer to a result instead of returning the result.

The map implementation was using the C idiom of using
a pointer just past the end of its table as a limit pointer.
Unfortunately, the garbage collector sees that pointer as
pointing at the block adjacent to the map table, pinning
in memory a block that would otherwise be freed.
Fix by making limit pointer point at last valid entry, not
just past it.

Prefix all external symbols in runtime by runtime·,
to avoid conflicts with possible symbols of the same
name in linked-in C libraries. The obvious conflicts
are printf, malloc, and free, but hide everything to
avoid future pain.
The symbols left alone are:
** known to cgo **
_cgo_free
_cgo_malloc
libcgo_thread_start
initcgo
ncgocall
** known to linker **
_rt0_$GOARCH
_rt0_$GOARCH_$GOOS
