Currently the only mention of go_asm.h is buried in a confusing
section about the runtime-specific go_tls.h header. We actually want
people to use go_asm.h, so this CL adds a section with a proper
discussion of this header. As part of this, we remove the discussion
of go_asm.h from the go_tls.h section and clean up what remains.
I stumbled on this when working on the internal ABI specification. I
wanted to refer to stable documentation on how to access struct fields
from assembly and found there was none.

Sub provides a convenient way to refer to a subdirectory
automatically in future operations, like Unix's chdir(2).
The CL also includes updates to fstest to check Sub implementations.
As part of updating fstest, I changed the meaning of TestFS's
expected list to introduce a special case: if you list no expected files,
that means the FS must be empty. In general it's OK not to list all
the expected files, but if you list none, that's almost certainly a
mistake - if your FS were broken and empty, you wouldn't find out.
Making no expected files mean "must be empty" makes the mistake
less likely - if your file system ever worked, then your test will keep
it working.
That change found a testing bug: embedtest was making exactly
that mistake.

Previously, we resolved each argument to 'go get' to a package path or
module path based on what was in the build list at existing versions,
even if the argument specified a different version explicitly. That
resulted in bugs like #37438, in which we variously resolved the wrong
version or guessed the wrong argument type for what is unambiguously a
package argument at the requested version.
We were also using a two-step upgrade/downgrade algorithm, which could
not only upgrade more that is strictly necessary, but could also
unintentionally upgrade *above* the requested versions during the
downgrade step.
This change instead uses an iterative approach, with an explicit
disambiguation step for the (rare) cases where an argument could match
the same package path in multiple modules. We use a hook in the
package loader to halt package loading as soon as an incorrect version
is found — preventing over-resolving — and verify that the result
after applying downgrades successfully obtained the requested versions
of all modules.
Making 'go get' be correct and usable is especially important now that
we are defaulting to read-only mode (#40728), for which we are
recommending 'go get' more heavily.
While I'm in here refactoring, I'm also reworking the API boundary
between the modget and modload packages. Previously, the modget
package edited the build list directly, and the modload package
accepted the edited build list without validation. For lazy loading
(#36460), the modload package will need to maintain additional
metadata about the requirement graph, so it needs tighter control over
the changes to the build list.
As of this change, modget no longer invokes MVS directly, but instead
goes through the modload package. The resulting API gives clearer
reasons in case of updates, which we can use to emit more useful
errors.

In the current (pre-CL) version of the spec, the 2nd last shift
example appears to be using the array declared in the last example.
On a 32-bit platform, that array would have length 0, which would
lead to a panic in the 2nd last example. Also, if this code were
inside a function, it wouldn't compile (array declared after use).
Use an explicitly declared array for that specific shift example.
Also, split out all cases that produce different results for 32-
vs 64-bit ints.

This way, a -toolexec tool can tell precisely what package is being
built when it's run. This was very hard to do before, because the tool
had to piece together that information given the build action's
arguments or flags.
Since there wasn't a good set of tests for -toolexec, add one in the
form of a test script. It builds a simple set of packages with a variety
of build tools, to ensure that all the cases behave as expected.

Setting inittrace=1 causes the runtime to emit a single line to standard error for
each package with init work, summarizing the execution time and memory allocation.
The emitted debug information for init functions can be used to find bottlenecks
or regressions in Go startup performance.
Packages with no init function work (user defined or compiler generated) are omitted.
Tracing plugin inits is not supported as they can execute concurrently. This would
make the implementation of tracing more complex while adding support for a very rare
use case. Plugin inits can be traced separately by testing a main package importing
the plugins package imports explicitly.

Currently, mhdr/methods is emitted with the same len/cap. There's no way
to distinguish between exported and non-exported methods statically.
This CL splits mhdr/methods into two parts, use "len" for number of
exported methods, and "cap" for all methods. This fixes the bug in
issue #22075, which intends to return the number of exported methods but
currently return all methods.
Note that with this encoding, we still can access either
all/exported-only/non-exported-only methods:
mhdr[:cap(mhdr)] // all methods
mhdr // exported methods
mhdr[len(mhdr):cap(mhdr)] // non-exported methods

The StripPrefix wrapper strips a prefix string from the request's
URL.Path field, but doesn't touch the RawPath field. This leads to the
confusing situation when StripPrefix handles a request with URL.RawPath
populated (due to some escaped characters in the request path) and the
wrapped request's RawPath contains the prefix but Path does not.
This change modifies StripPrefix to strip the prefix from both Path and
RawPath. If there are escaped characters in the prefix part of the
request URL the stripped handler serves a 404 instead of invoking the
underlying handler with a mismatched Path/RawPath pair.
This is a backward incompatible change for a very small minority of
requests; I would be surprised if anyone is depending on this behavior,
but it is possible. If that's the case, we could make a more
conservative change where the RawPath is trimmed if possible, but when
the prefix contains escaped characters then we don't 404 but rather send
through the invalid Path/RawPath pair as before.

Add a draft version of a blurb on improvements to the linker. This
will need to be finalized later in the release since there are still
some additional changes to be made to the linker in 1.16.
Updates #40703.

In Go 1.15 we switched the default linking mode for PIE on
Linux/AMD64 and Linux/ARM64 to internal linking. Clarify that
the previous behavior (external linking) can still be used with
a flag.
Fixes#40719.

This template is based on CL 220278 and previous ones like it.
Include Compiler and Linker sections proactively, they can be
removed if they don't end up being needed for Go 1.16.
Use two spaces of indentation for TODOs to set a better precedent
for the final text that will take its place.
'relnote -html' does not report any changes at this time.
For #40700.

The StdFormat flag was added as part of CL 231461, where the primary aim
was to fix the bug #37476. It's expected that the existing printer modes
only adjust spacing but do not change any of the code text itself. A new
printing flag served as a way for cmd/gofmt and go/format to delegate
a part of formatting work to the printer—where it's more more convenient
and efficient to perform—while maintaining current low-level printing
behavior of go/printer unmodified.
We already have cmd/gofmt and the go/format API that implement standard
formatting of Go source code, so there isn't a need to expose StdFormat
flag to the world, as it can only cause confusion.
Consider that to format source in canonical gofmt style completely it
may require tasks A, B, C to be done. In one version of Go, the printer
may do both A and B, while cmd/gofmt and go/format will do the remaining
task C. In another version, the printer may take on doing just A, while
cmd/gofmt and go/format will perform B and C. This makes it hard to add
a gofmt-like mode to the printer without compromising on above fluidity.
This change prefers to shift back some complexity to the implementation
of the standard library, allowing us to avoid creating the new exported
printing flag just for the internal needs of gofmt and go/format today.
We may still want to re-think the API and consider if something better
should be added, but unfortunately there isn't time for Go 1.15. We are
not adding new APIs now, so we can defer this decision until Go 1.16 or
later, when there is more time.
For #37476.
For #37453.
For #39489.
For #37419.
