Now that vprintf is gone, delete roundup, which is unsafe (see CL 2814).

The old name was too ambiguous (is it a verb? is it a predicate? is
it a constant?) and too close to debug.gccheckmark. Hopefully the new
name conveys that this variable indicates that we are currently doing
mark checking.

1) Move non-preemption check even earlier in newstack.
This avoids a few priority inversion problems.
2) Always use atomic operations to update bitmap for 1-word objects.
This avoids lost mark bits during concurrent GC.
3) Stop using work.nproc == 1 as a signal for being single-threaded.
The concurrent GC runs with work.nproc == 1 but other procs are
running mutator code.
The use of work.nproc == 1 in getfull *is* safe, but remove it anyway,
since it is saving only a single atomic operation per GC round.
Fixes#9225.

Previously, gccheckmark could only be enabled or disabled by calling
runtime.GCcheckmarkenable/GCcheckmarkdisable. This was a necessary
hack because GODEBUG was broken.
Now that GODEBUG works again, move control over gccheckmark to a
GODEBUG variable and remove these runtime functions. Currently,
gccheckmark is enabled by default (and will probably remain so for
much of the 1.5 development cycle).

run GC in its own background goroutine making the

critical in single goroutine applications.
Allow goroutines that allocate a lot to help out
the GC and in doing so throttle their own allocation.
Adjust test so that it only detects that a GC is run
during init calls and not whether the GC is memory
efficient. Memory efficiency work will happen later
in 1.5.

First, call clearcheckmarks immediately after changing checkmark,
so that there is less time when the checkmark flag and the bitmap
are inconsistent. The tiny gap between the two lines is fine, because
the world is stopped. Before, the gap was much larger and included
such code as "go bgsweep()", which allocated.
Second, modify gcphase only when the world is stopped.
As written, gcscan_m was changing gcphase from 0 to GCscan
and back to 0 while other goroutines were running.
Another goroutine running at the same time might decide to
sleep, see GCscan, call gcphasework, and start "helping" by
scanning its stack. That's fine, except that if gcphase flips back
to 0 as the goroutine calls scanblock, it will start draining the
work buffers prematurely.
Both of these were found wbshadow=2 (and a lot of hard work).
Eventually that will run automatically, but right now it still
doesn't quite work for all.bash, due to mmap conflicts with
pthread-created threads.

This is the detection code. It works well enough that I know of
a handful of missing write barriers. However, those are subtle
enough that I'll address them in separate followup CLs.
GODEBUG=wbshadow=1 checks for a write that bypassed the
write barrier at the next write barrier of the same word.
If a bug can be detected in this mode it is typically easy to
understand, since the crash says quite clearly what kind of
word has missed a write barrier.
GODEBUG=wbshadow=2 adds a check of the write barrier
shadow copy during garbage collection. Bugs detected at
garbage collection can be difficult to understand, because
there is no context for what the found word means.
Typically you have to reproduce the problem with allocfreetrace=1
in order to understand the type of the badly updated word.

Scalararg and ptrarg are not "signal safe".
Go code filling them out can be interrupted by a signal,
and then the signal handler runs, and if it also ends up
in Go code that uses scalararg or ptrarg, now the old
values have been smashed.
For the pieces of code that do need to run in a signal handler,
we introduced onM_signalok, which is really just onM
except that the _signalok is meant to convey that the caller
asserts that scalarg and ptrarg will be restored to their old
values after the call (instead of the usual behavior, zeroing them).
Scalararg and ptrarg are also untyped and therefore error-prone.
Go code can always pass a closure instead of using scalararg
and ptrarg; they were only really necessary for C code.
And there's no more C code.
For all these reasons, delete scalararg and ptrarg, converting
the few remaining references to use closures.
Once those are gone, there is no need for a distinction between
onM and onM_signalok, so replace both with a single function
equivalent to the current onM_signalok (that is, it can be called
on any of the curg, g0, and gsignal stacks).
The name onM and the phrase 'm stack' are misnomers,
because on most system an M has two system stacks:
the main thread stack and the signal handling stack.
Correct the misnomer by naming the replacement function systemstack.
Fix a few references to "M stack" in code.
The main motivation for this change is to eliminate scalararg/ptrarg.
Rick and I have already seen them cause problems because
the calling sequence m.ptrarg[0] = p is a heap pointer assignment,
so it gets a write barrier. The write barrier also uses onM, so it has
all the same problems as if it were being invoked by a signal handler.
We worked around this by saving and restoring the old values
and by calling onM_signalok, but there's no point in keeping this nice
home for bugs around any longer.
This CL also changes funcline to return the file name as a result
instead of filling in a passed-in *string. (The *string signature is
left over from when the code was written in and called from C.)
That's arguably an unrelated change, except that once I had done
the ptrarg/scalararg/onM cleanup I started getting false positives
about the *string argument escaping (not allowed in package runtime).
The compiler is wrong, but the easiest fix is to write the code like
Go code instead of like C code. I am a bit worried that the compiler
is wrong because of some use of uninitialized memory in the escape
analysis. If that's the reason, it will go away when we convert the
compiler to Go. (And if not, we'll debug it the next time.)
