For these, we split up the existing runtime.raise assembly
implementation into its constituent "get thread ID" and "signal
thread" parts. This lets us implement signalM and reimplement raise in
pure Go. (NetBSD conveniently already had lwp_self.)
We also change minit to store the procid directly, rather than
depending on newosproc to do so. This is because newosproc isn't
called for the bootstrap M, but we need a procid for every M. This is
also simpler overall.

We're about to introduce asynchronous safe points, where we won't have
precise pointer maps for all stack frames. That's okay for scanning
the stack (conservatively), but not for shrinking the stack.
Hence, this CL prepares for this by only shrinking the stack as part
of the stack scan if the goroutine is stopped at a synchronous safe
point. Otherwise, it queues up the stack shrink for the next
synchronous safe point.
We already have one condition under which we can't shrink the stack
for very similar reasons: syscalls. Currently, we just give up on
shrinking the stack if it's in a syscall. But with this mechanism, we
defer that stack shrink until the next synchronous safe point.

When we copy a stack of a goroutine blocked in a channel operation, we
have to be very careful because other goroutines may be writing to
that goroutine's stack. To handle this, stack copying acquires the
locks for the channels a goroutine is waiting on.
One complication is that stack growth may happen while a goroutine
holds these locks, in which case stack copying must *not* acquire
these locks because that would self-deadlock.
Currently, stack growth never acquires these locks because stack
growth only happens when a goroutine is running, which means it's
either not blocking on a channel or it's holding the channel locks
already. Stack shrinking always acquires these locks because shrinking
happens asynchronously, so the goroutine is never running, so there
are either no locks or they've been released by the goroutine.
However, we're about to change when stack shrinking can happen, which
is going to break the current rules. Rather than find a new way to
derive whether to acquire these locks or not, this CL simply adds a
flag to the g struct that indicates that stack copying should acquire
channel locks. This flag is set while the goroutine is blocked on a
channel op.

Currently, the process of suspending a goroutine is tied to stack
scanning. In preparation for non-cooperative preemption, this CL
abstracts this into general purpose suspendG/resumeG functions.
suspendG and resumeG closely follow the existing scang and restartg
functions with one exception: the addition of a _Gpreempted status.
Currently, preemption tasks (stack scanning) are carried out by the
target goroutine if it's in _Grunning. In this new approach, the task
is always carried out by the goroutine that called suspendG. Thus, we
need a reliable way to drive the target goroutine out of _Grunning
until the requesting goroutine is ready to resume it. The new
_Gpreempted state provides the handshake: when a runnable goroutine
responds to a preemption request, it now parks itself and enters
_Gpreempted. The requesting goroutine races to put it in _Gwaiting,
which gives it ownership, but also the responsibility to start it
again.
This CL adds several TODOs about improving the synchronization on the
G status. The existing code already has these problems; we're just
taking note of them.
The next CL will remove the now-dead scang and preemptscan.

Currently, shrinkstack will not shrink a stack on Windows if
gp.m.libcallsp != 0. In general, we can't shrink stacks in syscalls
because the syscall may hold pointers into the stack, and in principle
this is supposed to be preventing that for libcall-based syscalls
(which are direct syscalls from the runtime). But this test is
actually broken and has been for a long time. That turns out to be
okay because it also appears it's not necessary.
This test is racy. g.m points to whatever M the G was last running on,
even if the G is in a blocked state, and that M could be doing
anything, including making libcalls. Hence, observing that libcallsp
== 0 at one moment in shrinkstack is no guarantee that it won't become
non-zero while we're shrinking the stack, and vice-versa.
It's also weird that this check is only performed on Windows, given
that we now use libcalls on macOS, Solaris, and AIX.
This check was added when stack shrinking was first implemented in CL
69580044. The history of that CL (though not the final version)
suggests this was necessary for libcalls that happened on Go user
stacks, which we never do now because of the limited stack space.
It could also be defending against user stack pointers passed to
libcall system calls from blocked Gs. But the runtime isn't allowed to
keep pointers into the user stack for blocked Gs on any OS, so it's
not clear this would be of any value.
Hence, this checks seems to be simply unnecessary.
Rather than simply remove it, this CL makes it defensive. We can't do
anything about blocked Gs, since it doesn't even make sense to look at
their M, but if a G tries to shrink its own stack while in a libcall,
that indicates a bug in the libcall code. This CL makes shrinkstack
panic in this case.
For #10958, #24543, since those are going to rearrange how we decide
that it's safe to shrink a stack.

The x86 assembler supports an "ADJSP" pseudo-op that compiles to an
ADD/SUB from SP. Unfortunately, while this seems perfect for an
instruction that would allow obj to continue to track the SP/FP delta,
obj currently doesn't do that. As a result, FP-relative references
won't work and, perhaps worse, the pcsp table will have the wrong
frame size.
We don't currently use this instruction in any assembly or generate it
in the compiler, but this is a perfect instruction for solving a
problem in #24543.
This CL makes ADJSP useful by incorporating it into the SP delta
logic.
One subtlety is that we do generate ADJSP in obj itself to open a
function's stack frame. Currently, when preprocess enters the loop to
compute the SP delta, it may or may not start at this ADJSP
instruction depending on various factors. We clean this up by instead
always starting the SP delta at 0 and always starting this loop at the
entry to the function.
Why not just recognize ADD/SUB of SP? The danger is that could change
the meaning of existing code. For example, walltime1 in
sys_linux_amd64.s saves SP, SUBs from it, and aligns it. Later, it
restores the saved copy and then does a few FP-relative references.
Currently obj doesn't know any of this is happening, but that's fine
once it gets to the FP-relative references. If we taught obj to
recognize the SUB, it would start to miscompile this code. An
alternative would be to recognize unknown instructions that write to
SP and refuse subsequent FP-relative references, but that's kind of
annoying.
This passes toolstash -cmp for std on both amd64 and 386.

Generate inline code at defer time to save the args of defer calls to unique
(autotmp) stack slots, and generate inline code at exit time to check which defer
calls were made and make the associated function/method/interface calls. We
remember that a particular defer statement was reached by storing in the deferBits
variable (always stored on the stack). At exit time, we check the bits of the
deferBits variable to determine which defer function calls to make (in reverse
order). These low-cost defers are only used for functions where no defers
appear in loops. In addition, we don't do these low-cost defers if there are too
many defer statements or too many exits in a function (to limit code increase).
When a function uses open-coded defers, we produce extra
FUNCDATA_OpenCodedDeferInfo information that specifies the number of defers, and
for each defer, the stack slots where the closure and associated args have been
stored. The funcdata also includes the location of the deferBits variable.
Therefore, for panics, we can use this funcdata to determine exactly which defers
are active, and call the appropriate functions/methods/closures with the correct
arguments for each active defer.
In order to unwind the stack correctly after a recover(), we need to add an extra
code segment to functions with open-coded defers that simply calls deferreturn()
and returns. This segment is not reachable by the normal function, but is returned
to by the runtime during recovery. We set the liveness information of this
deferreturn() to be the same as the liveness at the first function call during the
last defer exit code (so all return values and all stack slots needed by the defer
calls will be live).
I needed to increase the stackguard constant from 880 to 896, because of a small
amount of new code in deferreturn().
The -N flag disables open-coded defers. '-d defer' prints out the kind of defer
being used at each defer statement (heap-allocated, stack-allocated, or
open-coded).

With open-coded defers: 5.6 ns/op

Text size increase (including funcdata) for go binary without/with open-coded defers: 0.09%
The average size increase (including funcdata) for only the functions that use
open-coded defers is 1.1%.
The cost of a panic followed by a recover got noticeably slower, since panic
processing now requires a scan of the stack for open-coded defer frames. This scan

0 denominator to 1. This simplifies the code overall.
Also: Improved some doc strings.
Preparation for addressing issue #33792.

On ARM and ARM64, during a VDSO call, the g register may be
temporarily clobbered by the VDSO code. If a signal is received
during the execution of VDSO code, we may not find a valid g
reading the g register. In CL 192937, we conservatively assume
g is nil. But this approach has a problem: we cannot handle
the signal in this case. Further, if the signal is not a
profiling signal, we'll call badsignal, which calls needm, which
wants to get an extra m, but we don't have one in a non-cgo
binary, which cuases the program to hang.
This is even more of a problem with async preemption, where we
will receive more signals than before. I ran into this problem
while working on async preemption support on ARM64.
In this CL, before making a VDSO call, we save the g on the
gsignal stack. When we receive a signal, we will be running on
the gsignal stack, so we can fetch the g from there and move on.
We probably want to do the same for PPC64. Currently we rely on
that the VDSO code doesn't actually clobber the g register, but
this is not guaranteed and we don't have control with.
Idea from discussion with Dan Cross and Austin.
Should fix#34391.

benchcmp was moved out of misc into x/tools in CL 60100043 in 2014,
and then replaced by a forwarding script in CL 82710043.
Five years have since passed, and the forwarding script has outlived
its usefulness. It's now more confusing than helpful. Delete it.
