The Plan 9 symbol table format defines big-endian symbol values
for portability, but we want to be able to generate an ELF object file
and let the host linker link it, as part of the solution to issue 4069.
The symbol table itself, since it is loaded into memory at run time,
must be filled in by the final host linker, using relocation directives
to set the symbol values. On a little-endian machine, the linker will
only fill in little-endian values during relocation, so we are forced
to use little-endian symbol values.
To preserve most of the original portability of the symbol table
format, we make the table itself say whether it uses big- or
little-endian values. If the table begins with the magic sequence
fe ff ff ff 00 00
then the actual table begins after those six bytes and contains
little-endian symbol values. Otherwise, the table is in the original
format and contains big-endian symbol values. The magic sequence
looks like an "end of table" entry (the fifth byte is zero), so legacy
readers will see a little-endian table as an empty table.
All the gc architectures are little-endian today, so the practical
effect of this CL is to make all the generated tables little-endian,
but if a big-endian system comes along, ld will not generate
the magic sequence, and the various readers will fall back to the
original big-endian interpretation.

RFC5424 specifies a version number (currently 1) after the facility and
severity in a syslog message (e.g. <7>1 TIMESTAMP ...). This causes
rsyslog to fail to parse syslog message because the rest of the message
is not fully compliant with RFC5424.
For the widest compatibility, drop the version (messages are in the
RFC3164 BSD syslog format (e.g. <7>TIMESTAMP ...). Have tested this with
syslog-ng, rsyslog and syslogd.

Unnamed types like structs with embedded fields can have methods.
These methods are generated on-the-fly by the compiler and

While half of all numbers don't have their most-significant bit set,
this is becoming increasingly impermissible for RSA moduli. In an
attempt to exclude weak keys, several bits of software either do, or
will, enforce that RSA moduli are >= 1024-bits.
However, Go often generates 1023-bit RSA moduli which this software
would then reject.
This change causes crypto/rsa to regenerate the primes in the event
that the result is shorter than requested.
It also alters crypto/rand in order to remove the performance impact
of this:
The most important change to crypto/rand is that it will now set the
top two bits in a generated prime (OpenSSL does the same thing).
Multiplying two n/2 bit numbers, where each have the top two bits set,
will always result in an n-bit product. (The effectively makes the
crypto/rsa change moot, but that seems too fragile to depend on.)
Also this change adds code to crypto/rand to rapidly eliminate some
obviously composite numbers and reduce the number of Miller-Rabin
tests needed to generate a prime.
