I first prototyped this change in Sept 2011, and I discarded it
because it made no difference in the obvious benchmark loop.
It still makes no difference in the obvious benchmark loop,
but in a less obvious one, doing some extra computation
around the calls to Sqrt, not making the call does have a
significant effect.
benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
BenchmarkSqrt 4.56 4.57 +0.22%
BenchmarkSqrtIndirect 4.56 4.56 +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtGo 69.4 69.4 +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtPrime 4417 3647 -17.43%
This is a warmup for using hardware expansions for some
calls to 1-line assembly routines in the runtime (for example getg).

This is Part 2 of the change, see Part 1 here: in https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/7692/
Suggested by iant@, we use the library initialization entry point to:
- create a new OS thread and run the "regular" runtime init stack on
that thread
- return immediately from the main (i.e., loader) thread
- at the first CGO invocation, we wait for the runtime initialization
to complete.
The above mechanism is implemented only on linux_amd64. Next step is to
support it on linux_arm. Other platforms don't yet support shared library
compiling/linking, but we intend to use the same strategy there as well.

GODEBUG=gctrace=1 turns on a per-GC cycle trace line. The current line
is left over from the STW garbage collector and includes a lot of
information that is no longer meaningful for the concurrent GC and
doesn't include a lot of information that is important.
Replace this line with a new line designed for the new garbage
collector.
This new line is focused more on helping the user understand the
impact of the garbage collector on their program and less on telling
us, the runtime developers, everything that's happening inside
GC. It's designed to fit in 80 columns and intentionally omit some
potentially useful things that were in the old line. We might want a
"verbose" mode that adds information for us.
We'll be able to further simplify the line once we eliminate the STW
around enabling the write barrier. Then we'll have just one STW phase,
one concurrent phase, and one more STW phase, so we'll be able to
reduce the number of times from five to three.

On arm64, CMP $foo, R is encoded as from=$foo, reg=R, not as from=$foo,

form. Because of this, the registerizer was not accounting the registers
used in CMP instructions and was incorrectly re-assigning those registers.
This was an old problem, but it only became apparent after b115c35
(cmd/internal/gc: move cgen, regalloc, et al to portable code). Previous
to this commit, the compiler used a slightly larger register set for the
temps than it used for register variables. Since it had plenty registers
dedicated to temps, the registers used in CMP instruction never clashed
with registers assigned to register variables.

Nodes dominate gc's memory usage, but many fields are only used
for a subset of kinds of nodes. This change pulls out fields
used only for func-like Nodes. This reduces the size of the
Node struct on a 64-bit machine from 504 bytes to 416 bytes (-17%).
Compiling the runtime, 1.5% of nodes have a non-nil Func.
In html/template, 2.7% of nodes have a non-nil Func.
This change introduces an extra alloc and associated GC overhead
when Func is non-nil. However, when Func is nil, as it almost
always is, it spares the garbage collector scanning some Node fields.
Empirically, this change appears to be roughly neutral with regard to GC.
To keep the diff readable, this CL uses an embedded Func field.
A subsequent CL will unembed the field.

Currently, scanner uses -1 to represent 2 different states:
1. I haven't yet scanned anything, call it "Beginning of File"
2. I've reached the end of the input, ie EOF
The result of this behavior is that calling Peek() when next()
has detected the end of the input and set s.ch to scanner.EOF,
is that Peek() things "oh, s.ch is < 0, which to me means that
I haven't scanned any next yet, let me try and clear the BOM
marker."
When this behavior is run on a typical IO, next() will issue
a Read and get (0, io.EOF) back for the second time without
blocking and Peek() will return scanner.EOF.
The bug comes into play when, inside a terminal, hitting Control-D.
This causes the terminal to return a EOF condition to the reader
but it does not actually close the fd.
So, combining these 2 situations, we arrive at the bug:
What is expected: hitting Control-D in a terminal will make Peek()
return scanner.EOF instantly.
What actually happens:
0. Code waiting in Next()
1. User hits Control-D
2. fd returns EOF condition
3. EOF bubbles it's way out to line 249 in scanner.go
4. next() returns scanner.EOF
5. Next() saves the scanner.EOF to s.ch and returns the previous value
6. Peek() runs, sees s.ch < 0, mistakenly thinks it hasn't run yet and
tries to read the BOM marker.
7. next() sees the buffer is empty and tries to fill it again, blocking
on line 249.
The fix is simple: use a different code to indicate that no data
has been scanned.

NaNs make the API more complicated for no real good reasons.
There are few operations that produce NaNs with IEEE arithmetic,
there's no need to copy the behavior. It's easy to test for these
scenarios and avoid them (on the other hand, it's not easy to test
for overflow or underflow, so we want to keep +/-Inf).
Also:
- renamed IsNeg -> Signbit (clearer, especially for x == -0)
- removed IsZero (Sign() == 0 is sufficient and efficient)
- removed IsFinite (now same as !IsInf)

In preparation for being able to run a go program that has code
in several objects, this changes from having several linker
symbols used by the runtime into having one linker symbol that
points at a structure containing the needed data. Multiple
object support will construct a linked list of such structures.
A follow up will initialize the slices in the themoduledata
structure directly from the linker but I was aiming for a minimal
diff for now.

Relying on an importing package being linked at the same time as the
imported package does not work in the shared library world.
This also lets us remove some obscure code from the linker.
