The ftab ends with a half functab record consisting only of
the 'entry' field followed by a uint32 giving the offset of
the next table. Previously, symtabinit assumed it could read
this uint32 as a uintptr. Since this is unsafe on big endian,
explicitly read the offset as a uint32.

Before this CL, if the system resolver does a very slow DNS
lookup for a particular host, all subsequent requests for that
host will hang waiting for that lookup to complete. That is
more or less expected when Dial is called with no deadline.
When Dial has a deadline, though, we can accumulate a large
number of goroutines waiting for that slow DNS lookup. Try to
avoid this problem by restarting the DNS lookup when it is
redone after a deadline is passed.
This CL also avoids creating an extra goroutine purely to
handle the deadline.
No test because we would have to simulate a slow DNS lookup
followed by a fast DNS lookup.

In theory both of these lines encode the same three fields:
a,,c
a,"",c
However, Postgres defines that when importing CSV, the unquoted
version is treated as NULL (missing), while the quoted version is
treated as a string value (empty string). If the middle field is supposed to
be an integer value, the first line can be imported (NULL is okay), but
the second line cannot (empty string is not).
Postgres's import command (COPY FROM) has an option to force
the unquoted empty to be interpreted as a string but it does not
have an option to force the quoted empty to be interpreted as a NULL.
From http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-copy.html:
The CSV format has no standard way to distinguish a NULL
value from an empty string. PostgreSQL's COPY handles this
by quoting. A NULL is output as the NULL parameter string
and is not quoted, while a non-NULL value matching the NULL
parameter string is quoted. For example, with the default
settings, a NULL is written as an unquoted empty string,
while an empty string data value is written with double
quotes (""). Reading values follows similar rules. You can
use FORCE_NOT_NULL to prevent NULL input comparisons for
specific columns.
Therefore printing the unquoted empty is more flexible for
imports into Postgres than printing the quoted empty.
In addition to making the output more useful with Postgres, not
quoting empty strings makes the output smaller and easier to read.
It also matches the behavior of Microsoft Excel and Google Drive.
Since we are here and making concessions for Postgres, handle this
case too (again quoting the Postgres docs):
Because backslash is not a special character in the CSV
format, \., the end-of-data marker, could also appear as a
data value. To avoid any misinterpretation, a \. data value
appearing as a lone entry on a line is automatically quoted
on output, and on input, if quoted, is not interpreted as
the end-of-data marker. If you are loading a file created by
another application that has a single unquoted column and
might have a value of \., you might need to quote that value
in the input file.

Pool memory was only being released during the first GC after the first Put.
Put assumes that p.local != nil means p is on the allPools list.
poolCleanup (called during each GC) removed each pool from allPools
but did not clear p.local, so each pool was cleared by exactly one GC
and then never cleared again.
This bug was introduced late in the Go 1.3 release cycle.

««« original CL description
cmd/cgo: disable clang's integrated assembler
Fixes#8348.
Clang's internal assembler (introduced by default in clang 3.4) understands the .arch directive, but doesn't change the default value of -march. This causes the build to fail when we use BLX (armv5 and above) when clang is compiled for the default armv4t architecture (which appears to be the default on all the distros I've used).
This is probably a clang bug, so work around it for the time being by disabling the integrated assembler when compiling the cgo assembly shim.
This CL also includes a small change to ldelf.c which was required as clang 3.4 and above generate more weird symtab entries.

I came across this while debugging a GC problem in gccgo.
There is code in assignTo and cvtT2I that handles assignment
to all interface values. It allocates an empty interface even
if the real type is a non-empty interface. The fields are
then set for a non-empty interface, but the memory is recorded
as holding an empty interface. This means that the GC has
incorrect information.
This is extremely unlikely to fail, because the code in the GC
that handles empty interfaces looks like this:
obj = nil;
typ = eface->type;
if(typ != nil) {
if(!(typ->kind&KindDirectIface) || !(typ->kind&KindNoPointers))
obj = eface->data;
In the current runtime the condition is always true--if
KindDirectIface is set, then KindNoPointers is clear--and we
always want to set obj = eface->data. So the question is what
happens when we incorrectly store a non-empty interface value
in memory marked as an empty interface. In that case
eface->type will not be a *rtype as we expect, but will
instead be a pointer to an Itab. We are going to use this
pointer to look at a *rtype kind field. The *rtype struct
starts out like this:
type rtype struct {
size uintptr
hash uint32 // hash of type; avoids computation in hash tables
_ uint8 // unused/padding
align uint8 // alignment of variable with this type
fieldAlign uint8 // alignment of struct field with this type
kind uint8 // enumeration for C
An Itab always has at least two pointers, so on a
little-endian 64-bit system the kind field will be the high
byte of the second pointer. This will normally be zero, so
the test of typ->kind will succeed, which is what we want.
On a 32-bit system it might be possible to construct a failing
case by somehow getting the Itab for an interface with one
method to be immediately followed by a word that is all ones.
The effect would be that the test would sometimes fail and the
GC would not mark obj, leading to an invalid dangling
pointer. I have not tried to construct this test.
I noticed this in gccgo, where this error is much more likely
to cause trouble for a rather random reason: gccgo uses a
different layout of rtype, and in gccgo the kind field happens
to be the low byte of a pointer, not the high byte.

https://golang.org/cl/152700045/ made it possible for struct literals assigned to globals to use <N> as the RHS. Normally, this is to zero out variables on first use. Because globals are already zero (or their linker initialized value), we just ignored this.
Now that <N> can occur from non-initialization code, we need to emit this code. We don't use <N> for initialization of globals any more, so this shouldn't cause any excessive zeroing.
