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.)

The garbage collection routine addframeroots is duplicating
logic in the traceback routine that calls it, sometimes correctly,
sometimes incorrectly, sometimes incompletely.
Pass necessary information to addframeroots instead of
deriving it anew.
Should make addframeroots significantly more robust.
It's certainly smaller.
Also try to standardize on uintptr for saved pc, sp values.
Will make CL 10036044 trivial.

Previously, the func structure contained an inaccurate value for
the args member and a 0 value for the locals member.
This change populates the func structure with args and locals
values computed by the compiler. The number of args was
already available in the ATEXT instruction. The number of
locals is now passed through in the new ALOCALS instruction.
This change also switches the unit of args and locals to be
bytes, just like the frame member, instead of 32-bit words.

Before, the mheap structure was in the bss,
but it's quite large (today, 256 MB, much of
which is never actually paged in), and it makes
Go binaries run afoul of exec-time bss size
limits on some BSD systems.
