Package runtime's C functions written to be called from Go
started out written in C using carefully constructed argument
lists and the FLUSH macro to write a result back to memory.
For some functions, the appropriate parameter list ended up
being architecture-dependent due to differences in alignment,
so we added 'goc2c', which takes a .goc file containing Go func
declarations but C bodies, rewrites the Go func declaration to
equivalent C declarations for the target architecture, adds the
needed FLUSH statements, and writes out an equivalent C file.
That C file is compiled as part of package runtime.
Native Client's x86-64 support introduces the most complex
alignment rules yet, breaking many functions that could until
now be portably written in C. Using goc2c for those avoids the
breakage.
Separately, Keith's work on emitting stack information from
the C compiler would require the hand-written functions
to add #pragmas specifying how many arguments are result
parameters. Using goc2c for those avoids maintaining #pragmas.
For both reasons, use goc2c for as many Go-called C functions
as possible.
This CL is a replay of the bulk of CL 15400047 and CL 15790043,
both of which were reviewed as part of the NaCl port and are
checked in to the NaCl branch. This CL is part of bringing the
NaCl code into the main tree.
No new code here, just reformatting and occasional movement
into .h files.

Match used len(ar.files) == 0 to mean "match everything"
but it also deleted matched things from the list, so once you
had matched everything you asked for, match returned true
for whatever was left in the archive too.
Concretely, if you have an archive containing f1, f2, then
pack t foo.a f1
would match f1 and then, because len(ar.files) == 0 after
deleting f1 from the match list, also match f2.
Avoid the problem by recording explicitly whether match
matches everything.

[Repeat of CL 64100044, after 32-bit fix in CL 66170043.]
Precisestack makes stack collection completely precise,
in the sense that there are no "used and not set" errors
in the collection of stack frames, no times where the collector
reads a pointer from a stack word that has not actually been
initialized with a pointer (possibly a nil pointer) in that function.
The most important part is interfaces: precisestack means
that if reading an interface value, the interface value is guaranteed
to be initialized, meaning that the type word can be relied
upon to be either nil or a valid interface type word describing
the data word.
This requires additional zeroing of certain values on the stack
on entry, which right now costs about 5% overall execution
time in all.bash. That cost will come down before Go 1.3
(issue 7345).
There are at least two known garbage collector bugs right now,
issues 7343 and 7344. The first happens even without precisestack.
The second I have only seen with precisestack, but that does not
mean that precisestack is what causes it. In fact it is very difficult
to explain by what precisestack does directly. Precisestack may
be exacerbating an existing problem. Both of those issues are
marked for Go 1.3 as well.
The reasons for enabling precisestack now are to give it more
time to soak and because the copying stack work depends on it.

Not recording the address being taken was causing
the liveness analysis not to preserve x in the absence
of direct references to x, which in turn was making the
net test fail with GOGC=0.
In addition to the test, this fixes a bug wherein
GOGC=0 go test -short net
crashed if liveness analysis was in use (like at tip, not like Go 1.2).

The VARDEF placement must be before the initialization
but after any final use. If you have something like s = ... using s ...
the rhs must be evaluated, then the VARDEF, then the lhs
assigned.
There is a large comment in pgen.c on gvardef explaining
this in more detail.
This CL also includes Ian's suggestions from earlier CLs,
namely commenting the use of mode in link.h and fixing
the precedence of the ~r check in dcl.c.
This CL enables the check that if liveness analysis decides
a variable is live on entry to the function, that variable must
be a function parameter (not a result, and not a local variable).
If this check fails, it indicates a bug in the liveness analysis or
in the generated code being analyzed.
The race detector generates invalid code for append(x, y...).
The code declares a temporary t and then uses cap(t) before
initializing t. The new liveness check catches this bug and
stops the compiler from writing out the buggy code.
Consequently, this CL disables the race detector tests in
run.bash until the race detector bug can be fixed
(golang.org/issue/7334).
Except for the race detector bug, the liveness analysis check
does not detect any problems (this CL and the previous CLs
fixed all the detected problems).
The net test still fails with GOGC=0 but the rest of the tests
now pass or time out (because GOGC=0 is so slow).

When the liveness code doesn't know a function doesn't return
(but the generated code understands that), the liveness analysis
invents a control flow edge that is not really there, which can cause
variables to seem spuriously live. This is particularly bad when the
variables are uninitialized.
TBR=iant
CC=golang-codereviews
https://golang.org/cl/63720043
The registerization code needs the function to end in a RET,
even if that RET is actually unreachable.
The liveness code needs to avoid such unreachable RETs.
It had a special case for final RET after JMP, but no case
for final RET after UNDEF. Instead of expanding the special
cases, let fixjmp - which already knows what is and is not
reachable definitively - mark the unreachable RET so that
the liveness code can identify it.
TBR=iant
CC=golang-codereviews
https://golang.org/cl/63680043
A normal RET is treated as using the return values,
but a tail jump RET does not - it is jumping to the
function that is going to fill in the return values.
If a tail jump RET is recorded as using the return values,
since nothing initializes them they will be marked as
live on entry to the function, which is clearly wrong.
Found and tested by the new code in plive.c that looks
for variables that are incorrectly live on entry.
That code is disabled for now because there are other
cases remaining to be fixed. But once it is enabled,
test/live1.go becomes a real test of this CL.

Before, an unnamed return value turned into an ONAME node n with n->sym
named ~anon%d, and n->orig == n.
A blank-named return value turned into an ONAME node n with n->sym
named ~anon%d but n->orig == the original blank n. Code generation and
printing uses n->orig, so that this node formatted as _.
But some code does not use n->orig. In particular the liveness code does
not know about the n->orig convention and so mishandles blank identifiers.
It is possible to fix but seemed better to avoid the confusion entirely.
Now the first kind of node is named ~r%d and the second ~b%d; both have
n->orig == n, so that it doesn't matter whether code uses n or n->orig.
After this change the ->orig field is only used for other kinds of expressions,
not for ONAME nodes.
This requires distinguishing ~b from ~r names in a few places that care.
It fixes a liveness analysis bug without actually changing the liveness code.

Make the loop nesting depth of &x depend on where x is declared,
not on where the &x appears. The latter is only a conservative
estimate of the former. Being more careful can avoid some
variables escaping, and it is easier to reason about.
It would have avoided issue 7313, although that was still a bug
worth fixing.
Not much effect in the tree: one variable in the whole tree
is saved from a heap allocation (something in x509 parsing).
