Fixes#4396.
For fixed arrays larger than the unmapped page, agenr would general a nil check by loading the first word of the array. However there is no requirement for the first element of a byte array to be word aligned, so this check causes a trap on ARMv5 hardware (ARMv6 since relaxed that restriction, but it probably still comes at a cost).
Switching the check to MOVB ensures alignment is not an issue. This check is only invoked in a few places in the code where large fixed arrays are embedded into structs, compress/lzw is the biggest offender, and switching to MOVB has no observable performance penalty.
Thanks to Rémy and Daniel Morsing for helping me debug this on IRC last night.

The debian/kFreeBSD project uses the FreeBSD kernel and the debian userspace. From our point of view, this is freebsd not linux as GOOS talks about the kernel syscall interface, not the userspace (although cgo alters that). As debian/kFreeBSD is experimental at this time, I do not think it is worth the effort of duplicating all the freebsd specific code so this is proposal represents a reasonable workaround.
Currently cgo is not supported, make.bash will detect this and disable cgo automatically during the build.

In order to add these, we need to be able to find references
to such types that already exist in the binary. To do that, introduce
a new linker section holding a list of the types corresponding to
arrays, chans, maps, and slices.
To offset the storage cost of this list, and to simplify the code,
remove the interface{} header from the representation of a
runtime type. It was used in early versions of the code but was
made obsolete by the kind field: a switch on kind is more efficient
than a type switch.
In the godoc binary, removing the interface{} header cuts two
words from each of about 10,000 types. Adding back the list of pointers
to array, chan, map, and slice types reintroduces one word for
each of about 500 types. On a 64-bit machine, then, this CL *removes*
a net 156 kB of read-only data from the binary.
This CL does not include the needed support for precise garbage
collection. I have created issue 4375 to track that.
This CL also does not set the 'algorithm' - specifically the equality
and copy functions - for a new array correctly, so I have unexported
ArrayOf for now. That is also part of issue 4375.

This patch introduces a sort of pre-regopt peephole optimization.
When a temporary is introduced that just holds a value for the
duration of the next instruction and is otherwise unused, we
elide it to make the job of regopt easier.
Since x86 has very few registers, this situation happens very
often. The result is large savings in stack variables for
arithmetic-heavy functions.

Avoids problems with local declarations shadowing other names.
We write a more explicit form than the incoming program, so there

var int string = "hello"
var j int = 2

var j·2 int = 2

Compiling expressions like:

make 5g and 6g run out of registers. Such expressions can arise
if a slice is used to represent a permutation and the user wants
to iterate it.
This is due to the usual problem of allocating registers before
going down the expression tree, instead of allocating them in a
postfix way.
The functions cgenr and agenr (that generate a value to a newly
allocated register instead of an existing location), are either
introduced or modified when they already existed to allocate
the new register as late as possible, and sudoaddable is disabled

This is an experiment in static analysis of Go programs
to understand which struct fields a program might use.
It is not part of the Go language specification, it must
be enabled explicitly when building the toolchain,
and it may be removed at any time.
After building the toolchain with GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack,
a specific field can be marked for tracking by including
`go:"track"` in the field tag:
package pkg
type T struct {
F int `go:"track"`
G int // untracked
}
To simplify usage, only named struct types can have
tracked fields, and only exported fields can be tracked.
The implementation works by making each function begin
with a sequence of no-op USEFIELD instructions declaring
which tracked fields are accessed by a specific function.
After the linker's dead code elimination removes unused
functions, the fields referred to by the remaining
USEFIELD instructions are the ones reported as used by
the binary.
The -k option to the linker specifies the fully qualified
symbol name (such as my/pkg.list) of a string variable that
should be initialized with the field tracking information
for the program. The field tracking string is a sequence
of lines, each terminated by a \n and describing a single
tracked field referred to by the program. Each line is made
up of one or more tab-separated fields. The first field is
the name of the tracked field, fully qualified, as in
"my/pkg.T.F". Subsequent fields give a shortest path of
reverse references from that field to a global variable or
function, corresponding to one way in which the program
might reach that field.
A common source of false positives in field tracking is
types with large method sets, because a reference to the
type descriptor carries with it references to all methods.
To address this problem, the CL also introduces a comment
annotation
//go:nointerface
that marks an upcoming method declaration as unavailable
for use in satisfying interfaces, both statically and
dynamically. Such a method is also invisible to package
reflect.
Again, all of this is disabled by default. It only turns on
if you have GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack set during make.bash.

the dependency graph, so the order is actually dependency order
among the strongly connected components: mutually recursive
functions get put into the same batch and analyzed together.
(Until now the entire package was put in one batch.)
The non-recursive case (single function, maybe with some
closures inside) will be able to be more precise about inputs
that escape only back to outputs, but that is not implemented yet.

CL 4313064 fixed its test case but did not address a
general enough problem:
type T1 struct { F *T2 }
type T2 T1
type T3 T2
could still end up copying the definition of T1 for T2
before T1 was done being evaluated, or T3 before T2
was done.
In order to propagate the updates correctly,
record a copy of an incomplete type for re-execution
once the type is completed. Roll back CL 4313064.
Fixes#3709.

The original implementation of closures created the
underlying top-level function during walk, which is fairly
late in the compilation process and caused ordering-based
complications due to earlier stages that had to be repeated
any number of times.
Create the underlying function during typecheck, much
earlier, so that later stages can be run just once.
The result is a simpler compilation sequence.

Drop expecttaken function in favor of extra argument
to gbranch and bgen. Mark loop condition as likely to
be true, so that loops are generated inline.
The main benefit here is contiguous code when trying
to read the generated assembly. It has only minor effects
on the timing, and they mostly cancel the minor effects
that aligning function entry points had. One exception:
both changes made Fannkuch faster.

On 6l and 8l, this is a real instruction, guaranteed to
cause an 'undefined instruction' exception.
On 5l, we simulate it as BL to address 0.
The plan is to use it as a signal to the linker that this
point in the instruction stream cannot be reached
(hence the changes to nofollow). This will help the
compiler explain that panicindex and friends do not
return without having to put a list of these functions
in the linker.

The old code generated for a bounds check was
CMP
JLT ok
CALL panicindex
ok:
...
The new code is (once the linker finishes with it):
CMP
JGE panic
...
panic:
CALL panicindex
which moves the calls out of line, putting more useful
code in each cache line. This matters especially in tight
loops, such as in Fannkuch. The benefit is more modest
elsewhere, but real.

To implement this, two new instruction forms:
JLT target // same as always
JLT $0, target // branch expected not taken
JLT $1, target // branch expected taken
The linker could also emit the prediction prefixes, but it
does not: expected taken branches are reversed so that the
expected case is not taken (as in example above), and
the default expectaton for such a jump is not taken
already.
