Commit to stack copying for stack growth.
We're carrying around a surprising amount of cruft from older schemes.
I am confident that precise stack scans and stack copying are here to stay.
Delete fallback code for when precise stack info is disabled.
Delete fallback code for when copying stacks is disabled.
Delete fallback code for when StackCopyAlways is disabled.
Delete Stktop chain - there is only one stack segment now.
Delete M.moreargp, M.moreargsize, M.moreframesize, M.cret.
Delete G.writenbuf (unrelated, just dead).
Delete runtime.lessstack, runtime.oldstack.
Delete many amd64 morestack variants.
Delete initialization of morestack frame/arg sizes (shortens split prologue!).
Replace G's stackguard/stackbase/stack0/stacksize/
syscallstack/syscallguard/forkstackguard with simple stack
bounds (lo, hi).
Update liblink, runtime/cgo for adjustments to G.

This CL contains compiler+runtime changes that detect C code
running on Go (not g0, not gsignal) stacks, and it contains
corrections for what it detected.
The detection works by changing the C prologue to use a different
stack guard word in the G than Go prologue does. On the g0 and
gsignal stacks, that stack guard word is set to the usual
stack guard value. But on ordinary Go stacks, that stack
guard word is set to ^0, which will make any stack split
check fail. The C prologue then calls morestackc instead
of morestack, and morestackc aborts the program with
a message about running C code on a Go stack.
This check catches all C code running on the Go stack
except NOSPLIT code. The NOSPLIT code is allowed,
so the check is complete. Since it is a dynamic check,
the code must execute to be caught. But unlike the static
checks we've been using in cmd/ld, the dynamic check
works with function pointers and other indirect calls.
For example it caught sigpanic being pushed onto Go
stacks in the signal handlers.
Fixes#8667.

This CL adjusts code referring to src/pkg to refer to src.
Immediately after submitting this CL, I will submit
a change doing 'hg mv src/pkg/* src'.
That change will be too large to review with Rietveld
but will contain only the 'hg mv'.
This CL will break the build.
The followup 'hg mv' will fix it.
For more about the move, see golang.org/s/go14nopkg.

The gp->panicwrap adjustment is just fatally flawed.
Now that there is a Panic.argp field, update that instead.
That can be done on entry only, so that unwinding doesn't
need to worry about undoing anything. The wrappers
emit a few more instructions in the prologue but everything
else in the system gets much simpler.
It also fixes (without trying) a broken test I never checked in.
Fixes#7491.

The main changes fall into a few patterns:
1. Replace #define with enum.
2. Add /*c2go */ comment giving effect of #define.
This is necessary for function-like #defines and
non-enum-able #defined constants.
(Not all compilers handle negative or large enums.)
3. Add extra braces in struct initializer.
(c2go does not implement the full rules.)
This is enough to let c2go typecheck the source tree.
There may be more changes once it is doing
other semantic analyses.

A TLS slot is reserved by _rt0_.*_plan9 as an automatic and
its address (which is static on Plan 9) is saved in the
global _privates symbol. The startup linkage now is exactly
like that from Plan 9 libc, and the way we access g is
exactly as if we'd have used privalloc(2).
Aside from making the code more standard, this change
drastically simplifies it, both for 386 and for amd64, and
makes the Plan 9 code in liblink common for both 386 and
amd64.
The amd64 runtime code was cleared of nxm assumptions, and
now runs on the standard Plan 9 kernel.
Note handling fixes will follow in a separate CL.

When I did the original 386 ports on Linux and OS X, I chose to
define GS-relative expressions like 4(GS) as relative to the actual
thread-local storage base, which was usually GS but might not be
(it might be FS, or it might be a different constant offset from GS or FS).
The original scope was limited but since then the rewrites have
gotten out of control. Sometimes GS is rewritten, sometimes FS.
Some ports do other rewrites to enable shared libraries and
other linking. At no point in the code is it clear whether you are
looking at the real GS/FS or some synthesized thing that will be
rewritten. The code manipulating all these is duplicated in many
places.
The first step to fixing issue 7719 is to make the code intelligible
again.
This CL adds an explicit TLS pseudo-register to the 386 and amd64.
As a register, TLS refers to the thread-local storage base, and it
can only be loaded into another register:
MOVQ TLS, AX
An offset from the thread-local storage base is written off(reg)(TLS*1).
Semantically it is off(reg), but the (TLS*1) annotation marks this as
indexing from the loaded TLS base. This emits a relocation so that
if the linker needs to adjust the offset, it can. For example:
MOVQ TLS, AX
MOVQ 8(AX)(TLS*1), CX // load m into CX
On systems that support direct access to the TLS memory, this
pair of instructions can be reduced to a direct TLS memory reference:
MOVQ 8(TLS), CX // load m into CX
The 2-instruction and 1-instruction forms correspond roughly to
ELF TLS initial exec mode and ELF TLS local exec mode, respectively.
Liblink applies this rewrite on systems that support the 1-instruction form.
The decision is made using only the operating system (and probably
the -shared flag, eventually), not the link mode. If some link modes
on a particular operating system require the 2-instruction form,
then all builds for that operating system will use the 2-instruction
form, so that the link mode decision can be delayed to link time.
Obviously it is late to be making changes like this, but I despair
of correcting issue 7719 and issue 7164 without it. To make sure
I am not changing existing behavior, I built a "hello world" program
for every GOOS/GOARCH combination we have and then worked
to make sure that the rewrite generates exactly the same binaries,
byte for byte. There are a handful of TODOs in the code marking
kludges to get the byte-for-byte property, but at least now I can
explain exactly how each binary is handled.
The targets I tested this way are:
darwin-386
darwin-amd64
dragonfly-386
dragonfly-amd64
freebsd-386
freebsd-amd64
freebsd-arm
linux-386
linux-amd64
linux-arm
nacl-386
nacl-amd64p32
netbsd-386
netbsd-amd64
openbsd-386
openbsd-amd64
plan9-386
plan9-amd64
solaris-amd64
windows-386
windows-amd64
There were four exceptions to the byte-for-byte goal:
windows-386 and windows-amd64 have a time stamp
at bytes 137 and 138 of the header.
darwin-386 and plan9-386 have five or six modified
bytes in the middle of the Go symbol table, caused by
editing comments in runtime/sys_{darwin,plan9}_386.s.

The relocation and automatic variable types were using
arch-specific numbers. Introduce portable enumerations
instead.
To the best of my knowledge, these are the only arch-specific
bits left in the new object file format.
Remove now, before Go 1.3, because file formats are forever.

For non-closure functions, the context register is uninitialized
on entry and will not be used, but morestack saves it and then the
garbage collector treats it as live. This can be a source of memory
leaks if the context register points at otherwise dead memory.
Avoid this by introducing a parallel set of morestack functions
that clear the context register, and use those for the non-closure functions.
I hope this will help with some of the finalizer flakiness, but it probably won't.

This CL replays the following one CL from the rsc-go13nacl repo.
This is the last replay CL: after this CL the main repo will have
everything the rsc-go13nacl repo did. Changes made to the main
repo after the rsc-go13nacl repo branched off probably mean that
NaCl doesn't actually work after this CL, but all the code is now moved
over and just needs to be redebugged.

cmd/6l, cmd/8l, cmd/ld: support for Native Client
See golang.org/s/go13nacl for design overview.
This CL is publicly visible but not CC'ed to golang-dev,
to avoid distracting from the preparation of the Go 1.2
release.
This CL and the others will be checked into my rsc-go13nacl
clone repo for now, and I will send CLs against the main
repo early in the Go 1.3 development.

- new object file reader/writer (liblink/objfile.c)
- remove old object file writing routines
- add pcdata iterator
- remove all trace of "line number stack" and "path fragments" from
object files, linker (!!!)
- dwarf now writes a single "compilation unit" instead of one per package
This CL disables the check for chains of no-split functions that
could overflow the stack red zone. A future CL will attack the problem
of reenabling that check (issue 6931).
This CL is just the liblink and cmd/ld changes.
There are minor associated adjustments in CL 37030045.
Each depends on the other.

There is an enormous amount of code moving around in this CL,
but the code is the same, and it is invoked in the same ways.
This CL is preparation for the new linker structure, not the new
structure itself.
The new library's definition is in include/link.h.
The main change is the use of a Link structure to hold all the
linker-relevant state, replacing the smattering of global variables.
The Link structure should both make it clearer which state must
be carried around and make it possible to parallelize more easily
later.
The main body of the linker has moved into the architecture-independent
cmd/ld directory. That includes the list of known header types, so the
distinction between Hplan9x32 and Hplan9x64 is removed (no other
header type distinguished 32- and 64-bit formats), and code for unused
formats such as ipaq kernels has been deleted.
The code being deleted from 5l, 6l, and 8l reappears in liblink or in ld.
Because multiple files are being merged in the liblink directory,
it is not possible to show the diffs nicely in hg.
The Prog and Addr structures have been unified into an
architecture-independent form and moved to link.h, where they will
be shared by all tools: the assemblers, the compilers, and the linkers.
The unification makes it possible to write architecture-independent
traversal of Prog lists, among other benefits.
The Sym structures cannot be unified: they are too fundamentally
different between the linker and the compilers. Instead, liblink defines
an LSym - a linker Sym - to be used in the Prog and Addr structures,
and the linker now refers exclusively to LSyms. The compilers will
keep using their own syms but will fill out the corresponding LSyms in
the Prog and Addr structures.
Although code from 5l, 6l, and 8l is now in a single library, the
code has been arranged so that only one architecture needs to
be linked into a particular program: 5l will not contain the code
needed for x86 instruction layout, for example.
The object file writing code in liblink/obj.c is from cmd/gc/obj.c.
Preparation for golang.org/s/go13linker work.
This CL does not build by itself. It depends on 35740044
and will be submitted at the same time.
