We create appropriate ELF files automatically based on GOOS. There's
no point in supporting -H elf flag, particularly since we need to emit
different flavors of ELF depending on GOOS anyway.
If that weren't reason enough, -H elf appears to be broken since at
least Go 1.4. At least I wasn't able to find a way to make use of it.
As best I can tell digging through commit history, -H elf is just an
artifact leftover from Plan 9's 6l linker.

The http2 spec defines a magic string which initates an http2 session:
"PRI * HTTP/2.0\r\n\r\nSM\r\n\r\n"
It was intentionally chosen to kinda look like an HTTP request, but
just different enough to break things not ready for it. This change
makes Go ready for it.
Notably: Go now accepts the request header (the prefix "PRI *
HTTP/2.0\r\n\r\n") as a valid request, even though it doesn't have a
Host header. But we now mark it as "Connection: close" and teach the
Server to never read a second request from the connection once that's
seen. If the http.Handler wants to deal with the upgrade, it has to
hijack the request, read out the "body", compare it against
"SM\r\n\r\n", and then speak http2. One of the new tests demonstrates
that hijacking.

This makes sure the net/http package never attempts to transmit a
bogus header field key or value and instead fails fast with an error
to the user, rather than relying on the server to maybe return an

It's still possible to use x/net/http2.Transport directly to send
bogus stuff. This change only stops h1 & h2 usage via the net/http
package. A future change will update x/net/http2.
This change also moves some code from request.go to lex.go, which in a

Fixes#14522.
As I said on that issue:
----
This is a progressive JPEG image. There are two dimensions of
progressivity: spectral selection (variables zs and ze in scan.go,
ranging in [0, 63]) and successive approximation (variables ah and al in
scan.go, ranging in [0, 8), from LSB to MSB, although ah=0 implicitly
means ah=8).
For this particular image, there are three components, and the SOS
markers contain this progression:
zs, ze, ah, al: 0 0 0 0 components: 0, 1, 2
zs, ze, ah, al: 1 63 0 0 components: 1
zs, ze, ah, al: 1 63 0 0 components: 2
zs, ze, ah, al: 1 63 0 2 components: 0
zs, ze, ah, al: 1 10 2 1 components: 0
zs, ze, ah, al: 11 63 2 1 components: 0
zs, ze, ah, al: 1 10 1 0 components: 0
The combination of all of these is complete (i.e. spectra 0 to 63 and
bits 8 exclusive to 0) for components 1 and 2, but it is incomplete for
component 0 (the luma component). In particular, there is no data for
component 0, spectra 11 to 63 and bits 1 exclusive to 0.
The image/jpeg code, as of Go 1.6, waits until both dimensions are
complete before performing the de-quantization, IDCT and copy to an
*image.YCbCr. This is the "if zigEnd != blockSize-1 || al != 0 { ...
continue }" code and associated commentary in scan.go.
Almost all progressive JPEG images end up complete in both dimensions
for all components, but this particular image is incomplete for
component 0, so the Go code never writes anything to the Y values of the
resultant *image.YCbCr, which is why the broken output is so dark (but
still looks recognizable in terms of red and blue hues).
My reading of the ITU T.81 JPEG specification (Annex G) doesn't
explicitly say that this is a valid image, but it also doesn't rule it
out.
In any case, the fix is, for progressive JPEG images, to always
reconstruct the decoded blocks (by performing the de-quantization, IDCT
and copy to an *image.YCbCr), regardless of whether or not they end up
complete. Note that, in Go, the jpeg.Decode function does not return
until the entire image is decoded, so we still only want to reconstruct
each block once, not once per SOS (Start Of Scan) marker.
----
A test image was also added, based on video-001.progressive.jpeg. When
decoding that image, inserting a
println("nComp, zs, ze, ah, al:", nComp, zigStart, zigEnd, ah, al)
into decoder.processSOS in scan.go prints:
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 3 0 0 0 1
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 1 5 0 2
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 1 63 0 1
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 1 63 0 1
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 6 63 0 2
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 1 63 2 1
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 3 0 0 1 0
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 1 63 1 0
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 1 63 1 0
nComp, zs, ze, ah, al: 1 1 63 1 0
In other words, video-001.progressive.jpeg contains 10 different scans.
This little program below drops half of them (remembering to keep the
"\xff\xd9" End of Image marker):
----
package main
import (
"bytes"
"io/ioutil"
"log"
)
func main() {
sos := []byte{0xff, 0xda}
eoi := []byte{0xff, 0xd9}
src, err := ioutil.ReadFile("video-001.progressive.jpeg")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
b := bytes.Split(src, sos)
println(len(b)) // Prints 11.
dst := bytes.Join(b[:5], sos)
dst = append(dst, eoi...)
if err := ioutil.WriteFile("video-001.progressive.truncated.jpeg", dst, 0666); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
----
The video-001.progressive.truncated.jpeg was converted to png via
libjpeg and ImageMagick:
djpeg -nosmooth video-001.progressive.truncated.jpeg > tmp.tga
convert tmp.tga video-001.progressive.truncated.png
rm tmp.tga

Because the IsFoo methods panic when given a nil pointer, a handful of
call sites had to be modified to check for nil Type values. These
aren't strictly necessary, because nil Type values should only occur
in invalid Go source programs, so it would be okay if we panicked on
them and gave up type checking the rest of the package. However, there

Previously if we were only using the low bits of AuxInt,
the high bits were ignored and could be junk. This CL
changes that behavior to define the high bits to be the
sign-extended version of the low bits for all cases.
There are 2 main benefits:
- Deterministic representation. This helps with CSE.
(Const8 [0x1]) and (Const8 [0x101]) used to be the same "value"
but CSE couldn't see them as such.
- Testability. We can check that all ops leave AuxInt in a state
consistent with the new rule. In the old scheme, it was hard
to check whether a rule correctly used only the low-order bits.
Side benefits:
- ==0 and !=0 tests are easier.
Drawbacks:
- This differs from the runtime representation in registers,
where it is important that we allow upper bits to be undefined
(so we're not sign/zero-extending all the time).
- Ops that treat AuxInt as unsigned (shifts, mostly) need to be
a bit more careful.

Flip around the composition order of the http.Response.Body's

HTTP/1.1 chunking).
Previously:
user -> http.Response.Body
-> bodyEOFSignal
-> gzipReader
-> gzip.Reader
-> bufio.Reader
[ -> http/1.1 de-chunking reader ] optional
-> http1 framing *body
But because bodyEOFSignal was waiting to see an EOF from the
underlying gzip.Reader before reusing the connection, and gzip.Reader
(or more specifically: the flate.Reader) wasn't returning an early
io.EOF with the final chunk, the bodyEOfSignal was never releasing the
connection, because the EOF from the http1 framing was read by a party
who didn't care about it yet: the helper bufio.Reader created to do
byte-at-a-time reading in the flate.Reader.
Flip the read composition around to:
user -> http.Response.Body
-> gzipReader
-> gzip.Reader
-> bufio.Reader
-> bodyEOFSignal
[ -> http/1.1 de-chunking reader ] optional
-> http1 framing *body
Now when gzip.Reader does its byte-at-a-time reading via the
bufio.Reader, the bufio.Reader will do its big reads against the
bodyEOFSignal reader instead, which will then see the underlying http1
framing EOF, and be able to reuse the connection.

RFC 2047 recommends a maximum length of 75 characters for
encoded-words. Due to a bug, encoded-words were limited to 77
characters instead of 75.

Add a "HuffmanOnly" compression level, where the input is
only entropy encoded.
The output is fully inflate compatible. Typical compression
is reduction is about 50% of typical level 1 compression, however
the compression time is very stable, and does not vary as much as
nearly as much level 1 compression (or Snappy).
This mode is useful for:
* HTTP compression in a CPU limited environment.
* Entropy encoding Snappy compressed data, for archiving, etc.
* Compression where compression time needs to be predictable.
* Fast network transfer.
Snappy "usually" performs inbetween this and level 1 compression-wise,
but at the same speed as "Huffman", so this is not a replacement,
but a good supplement for Snappy, since it usually can compress
Snappy output further.
This is implemented as level -2, since this would be too much of a
compression reduction to replace level 1.
