These signals are used by glibc to broadcast setuid/setgid to all
threads and to send pthread cancellations. Unlike other signals, the
Go runtime does not intercept these because they must invoke the libc
handlers (see issues #3871 and #6997). However, because 1) these
signals may be issued asynchronously by a thread running C code to
another thread running Go code and 2) glibc does not set SA_ONSTACK
for its handlers, glibc's signal handler may be run on a Go stack.
Signal frames range from 1.5K on amd64 to many kilobytes on ppc64, so
this may overflow the Go stack and corrupt heap (or other stack) data.
Fix this by ensuring that these signal handlers have the SA_ONSTACK
flag (but not otherwise taking over the handler).
This has been a problem since Go 1.1, but it's likely that people
haven't encountered it because it only affects setuid/setgid and
pthread_cancel.

Normally, the caller to runtime.entersyscall() must not return before
calling runtime.exitsyscall(), lest g->syscallsp become a dangling
pointer. runtime.cgocallbackg() violates this constraint. To work around
this, save g->syscallsp and g->syscallpc around cgo->Go callbacks, then
restore them after calling runtime.entersyscall(), which restores the
syscall stack frame pointer saved by cgocall. This allows the GC to
correctly trace a goroutine that is currently returning from a
Go->cgo->Go chain.
This also adds a check to proc.c that panics if g->syscallsp is clearly
invalid. It is not 100% foolproof, as it will not catch a case where the
stack was popped then pushed back beyond g->syscallsp, but it does catch
the present cgo issue and makes existing tests fail without the bugfix.

On amd64, this costs 1 word in the asmcgocall_errno path

On arm, this fixes build failures: asmcgocall was writing

In cgo, now that recursive calls to typeConv.Type() always work,
we can more robustly calculate the array sizes based on the size
of our element type.
Also, in debug/dwarf, the decision to call zeroType is made
based on a type's usage within a particular struct, but dwarf.Type
values are cached in typeCache, so the modification might affect
uses of the type in other structs. Current compilers don't appear
to share DWARF type entries for "[]foo" and "[0]foo", but they also
don't consistently share type entries in other cases. Arguably
modifying the types is an improvement in some cases, but varying
translated types according to compiler whims seems like a bad idea.
Lastly, also in debug/dwarf, zeroType only needs to rewrite the
top-level dimension, and only if the rest of the array size is
non-zero.

If you write:
var x = 3
then the compiler arranges for x to be initialized in the linker
with an actual 3 from the data segment, rather than putting
x in the bss and emitting init-time "x = 3" assignment code.
If you write:
var y = x
var x = 3
then the compiler is clever and treats this the same as if
the code said 'y = 3': they both end up in the data segment
with no init-time assignments.
If you write
var y = x
var x int
then the compiler was treating this the same as if the
code said 'x = 0', making both x and y zero and avoiding
any init-time assignment.
This copying optimization to avoid init-time assignment of y
is incorrect if 'var x int' doesn't mean 'x = 0' but instead means
'x is initialized in C or assembly code'. The program ends up
with 'y = 0' instead of 'y = the value specified for x in that other code'.
Disable the propagation if there is no initializer for x.
This comes up in some uses of cgo, because cgo generates
Go globals that are initialized in accompanying C files.

In external link mode the linker explicitly adds the string
constant "runtime/cgo". It adds the string constant using the
same symbol name as the compiler, but a different format. The
compiler assumes that the string data immediately follows the
string header, but the linker puts the two in different
sections. The result is bad string data when the compiler
sees "runtime/cgo" used as a string constant.
The compiler assumption is in datastring in [568]g/gobj.c.
The linker layout is in addstrdata in ld/data.c. The compiler
assumption is valid for string literals. The linker is not
creating a string literal, so its assumption is also valid.
There are a few ways to avoid this problem. This patch fixes
it by only doing the fake import of runtime/cgo if necessary,
and by only creating the string symbol if necessary.

The old approach to determining whether "name" was a type, constant,
or expression was to compile the C program
name;
and scan the errors and warnings generated by the compiler.
This requires looking for specific substrings in the errors and warnings,
which ties the implementation to specific compiler versions.
As compilers change their errors or drop warnings, cgo breaks.
This happens slowly but it does happen.
Clang in particular (now required on OS X) has a significant churn rate.
The new approach compiles a slightly more complex program
that is either valid C or not valid C depending on what kind of
thing "name" is. It uses only the presence or absence of an error
message on a particular line, not the error text itself. The program is:
// error if and only if name is undeclared
void f1(void) { typeof(name) *x; }
// error if and only if name is not a type
void f2(void) { name *x; }
// error if and only if name is not an integer constant
void f3(void) { enum { x = (name)*1 }; }
I had not been planning to do this until Go 1.3, because it is a
non-trivial change, but it fixes a real Xcode 5 problem in Go 1.2,
and the new code is easier to understand than the old code.
It should be significantly more robust.

- use proper Win64 gcc calling convention when
calling initcgo on amd64
- increase g0 stack size to 64K on amd64 to make
it the same as 386
- implement C.sleep
- do not use C.stat, since it is renamed to C._stat by mingw
- use fopen to implement TestErrno, since C.strtol
always succeeds on windows
- skip TestSetEnv on windows, because os.Setenv
sets windows process environment, while C.getenv
inspects internal C runtime variable instead

This change doesn't pay attention to structs
so they still cannot be exported, see Issue 2552.
Fixes#2462.

There may be more fine-tuning down the line,
but this CL fixes the most pressing issue at
hand.
Also: gofmt -w src misc

When the C API being used includes multiple names for the same
underlying symbol (e.g. multiple #define's for the same variable), then
cgo will generate the same placeholder variables for each name. This
then prevents the code from compiling due to multiple declarations of
the same variable - so change cgo to only create one instance of the
variable for the underlying symbol.

The new gotest ignores Test functions outside *_test.go files
(the old shell script allowed them), so replace one clumsy hack
with another.
The root problem is that the package makefiles only know
how to run cgo for source files in the package proper, not
for test files. Making it work for test files is probably more
trouble than it's worth.

* Change use of m->g0 stack (aka scheduler stack).
* Provide runtime.mcall(f) to invoke f() on m->g0 stack.
* Replace scheduler loop entry with runtime.mcall(schedule).
Runtime.mcall eliminates the need for fake scheduler states that
exist just to run a bit of code on the m->g0 stack
(Grecovery, Gstackalloc).
The elimination of the scheduler as a loop that stops and
starts using gosave and gogo fixes a bad interaction with the
way cgo uses the m->g0 stack. Cgo runs external (gcc-compiled)
C functions on that stack, and then when calling back into Go,
it sets m->g0->sched.sp below the added call frames, so that
other uses of m->g0's stack will not interfere with those frames.
Unfortunately, gogo (longjmp) back to the scheduler loop at
this point would end up running scheduler with the lower
sp, which no longer points at a valid stack frame for
a call to scheduler. If scheduler then wrote any function call
arguments or local variables to where it expected the stack
frame to be, it would overwrite other data on the stack.
I realized this possibility while debugging a problem with
calling complex Go code in a Go -> C -> Go cgo callback.
This wasn't the bug I was looking for, it turns out, but I believe
it is a real bug nonetheless. Switching to runtime.mcall, which
only adds new frames to the stack and never jumps into
functions running in existing ones, fixes this bug.
* Move cgo-related code out of proc.c into cgocall.c.
* Add very large comment describing cgo call sequences.
* Simpilify, regularize cgo function implementations and names.
* Add test suite as misc/cgo/test.
Now the Go -> C path calls cgocall, which calls asmcgocall,
and the C -> Go path calls cgocallback, which calls cgocallbackg.
The shuffling, which affects mainly the callback case, moves
most of the callback implementation to cgocallback running
on the m->curg stack (not the m->g0 scheduler stack) and
only while accounted for with $GOMAXPROCS (between calls
to exitsyscall and entersyscall).
The previous callback code did not block in startcgocallback's
approximation to exitsyscall, so if, say, the garbage collector
were running, it would still barge in and start doing things
like call malloc. Similarly endcgocallback's approximation of
entersyscall did not call matchmg to kick off new OS threads
when necessary, which caused the bug in issue 1560.
Fixes#1560.
