Commit to stack copying for stack growth.
We're carrying around a surprising amount of cruft from older schemes.
I am confident that precise stack scans and stack copying are here to stay.
Delete fallback code for when precise stack info is disabled.
Delete fallback code for when copying stacks is disabled.
Delete fallback code for when StackCopyAlways is disabled.
Delete Stktop chain - there is only one stack segment now.
Delete M.moreargp, M.moreargsize, M.moreframesize, M.cret.
Delete G.writenbuf (unrelated, just dead).
Delete runtime.lessstack, runtime.oldstack.
Delete many amd64 morestack variants.
Delete initialization of morestack frame/arg sizes (shortens split prologue!).
Replace G's stackguard/stackbase/stack0/stacksize/
syscallstack/syscallguard/forkstackguard with simple stack
bounds (lo, hi).
Update liblink, runtime/cgo for adjustments to G.

I assumed they were the same when I wrote
cgocallback.go earlier today. Merge them
to eliminate confusion.
I can't tell what gomallocgc did before with
a nil type but without FlagNoScan.
I created a call like that in cgocallback.go
this morning, translating from a C file.
It was supposed to do what the C version did,
namely treat the block conservatively.
Now it will.

It already is updating parts of them; we're just getting lucky
retraversing them and not finding much to do.
Change argp to a pointer so that it will be updated too.
Existing tests break if you apply the change to adjustpanics
without also updating the type of argp.

Inside a control clause (if ... {}), composite
literals starting with a type name must be parenthesized.
A composite literal used in the array length expression
of an array composite literal is already parenthesized.
Not a valid program, but syntactically is should
be accepted.

Given:
p := alloc()
fn_taking_ptr(p)
p is NOT recorded as live at the call to fn_taking_ptr:
it's not needed by the code following the call.
p was passed to fn_taking_ptr, and fn_taking_ptr must keep
it alive as long as it needs it.
In practice, fn_taking_ptr will keep its own arguments live
for as long as the function is executing.
But if instead you have:
p := alloc()
i := uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p))
fn_taking_int(i)
p is STILL NOT recorded as live at the call to fn_taking_int:
it's not needed by the code following the call.
fn_taking_int is responsible for keeping its own arguments
live, but fn_taking_int is written to take an integer, so even
though fn_taking_int does keep its argument live, that argument
does not keep the allocated memory live, because the garbage
collector does not dereference integers.
The shorter form:
p := alloc()
fn_taking_int(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
and the even shorter form:
fn_taking_int(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(alloc())))
are both the same as the 3-line form above.
syscall.Syscall is like fn_taking_int: it is written to take a list
of integers, and yet those integers are sometimes pointers.
If there is no other copy of those pointers being kept live,
the memory they point at may be garbage collected during
the call to syscall.Syscall.
This is happening on Solaris: for whatever reason, the timing
is such that the garbage collector manages to free the string
argument to the open(2) system call before the system call
has been invoked.
Change the system call wrappers to insert explicit references
that will keep the allocations alive in the original frame
(and therefore preserve the memory) until after syscall.Syscall
has returned.
Should fix Solaris flakiness.
This is not a problem for cgo, because cgo wrappers have
correctly typed arguments.

The sighander has been run at the bottom of the
currently executing goroutine stack, but it's in C,
and we don't want C on our ordinary goroutine stacks.
Worse, it does a lot of stuff, and it might need more
stack space. There is scary code in traceback_windows.go
that talks about stack splits during sighandler.
Moving sighandler to g0 will eliminate the possibility
of stack splits and such, and then we can delete
traceback_windows.go entirely. Win win.
On the builder, all.bat passes with GOARCH=amd64
and all.bat gets most of the way with GOARCH=386
except for a DLL-loading test that I think is unrelated.
Fixes windows build.

This CL contains compiler+runtime changes that detect C code
running on Go (not g0, not gsignal) stacks, and it contains
corrections for what it detected.
The detection works by changing the C prologue to use a different
stack guard word in the G than Go prologue does. On the g0 and
gsignal stacks, that stack guard word is set to the usual
stack guard value. But on ordinary Go stacks, that stack
guard word is set to ^0, which will make any stack split
check fail. The C prologue then calls morestackc instead
of morestack, and morestackc aborts the program with
a message about running C code on a Go stack.
This check catches all C code running on the Go stack
except NOSPLIT code. The NOSPLIT code is allowed,
so the check is complete. Since it is a dynamic check,
the code must execute to be caught. But unlike the static
checks we've been using in cmd/ld, the dynamic check
works with function pointers and other indirect calls.
For example it caught sigpanic being pushed onto Go
stacks in the signal handlers.
Fixes#8667.

This CL adjusts code referring to src/pkg to refer to src.
Immediately after submitting this CL, I will submit
a change doing 'hg mv src/pkg/* src'.
That change will be too large to review with Rietveld
but will contain only the 'hg mv'.
This CL will break the build.
The followup 'hg mv' will fix it.

These all used a C implementation that contained 64-bit divide by 1000000000.
On 32-bit systems that ends up in the 64-bit C divide support, which makes
other calls and ends up using a fair amount of stack. We could convert them
to Go but then they'd still end up in software 64-bit divide code. That would
be okay, because Go code can split the stack, but it's still unnecessary.
Write time·now in assembly, just like on all the other systems, and use the
actual hardware support for 64/32 -> 64/32 division. This cuts the software
routines out entirely.
The actual code to do the division is copied and pasted from the sys_darwin_*.s files.

I am seeing deadlocks waiting on <-inHandler.
It seems to me that there is no guarantee that the
handler actually runs, if the client does
write header
close connection
fast enough. The server might see the EOF on the
connection before it manages to invoke the handler.
This change fixes the deadlock, but it may make
the test not actually test anything. Not sure.

This is one of those "how did this ever work?" bugs.
The current build failures are happening because
a fault comes up while executing on m->curg on a
system-created thread using an m obtained from needm,
but TLS is set to m->g0, not m->curg. On fault,
sigtramp starts executing, assumes r10 (g) might be
incorrect, reloads it from TLS, and gets m->g0, not
m->curg. Then sighandler dutifully pushes a call to
sigpanic onto the stack and returns to it.
We're now executing on the m->curg stack but with
g=m->g0. Sigpanic does a stack split check, sees that
the SP is not in range (50% chance depending on relative
ordering of m->g0's and m->curg's stacks), and then
calls morestack. Morestack sees that g=m->g0 and
crashes the program.
The fix is to replace every change of g in asm_arm.s
with a call to a function that both updates g and
saves the updated g to TLS.
Why did it start happening? That's unclear.
Unfortunately there were other bugs in the initial
checkin that mask exactly which of a sequence of
CLs started the behavior where sigpanic would end
up tripping the stack split.
Fixes arm build.

Syscall and everything it calls must be nosplit:
we cannot split a stack once Syscall has been invoked,
because we don't know which of its arguments are
pointers.

Increase NOSPLIT reservation from 192 to 384 bytes.
The problem is that the non-Unix systems (Solaris and Windows)
just can't make system calls in a small amount of space,
and then worse they do things that are complex enough
to warrant calling runtime.throw on failure.
We don't have time to rewrite the code to use less stack.
I'm not happy about this, but it's still a small amount.
The good news is that we're doing this to get to only
using copying stacks for stack growth. Once that is true,
we can drop the default stack size from 8k to 4k, which
should more than make up for the bytes we're losing here.
