Static branch predictions (which guide block ordering) are
adjusted based on:
loop/not-loop (favor looping)
abnormal-exit/not (avoid panic)
call/not-call (avoid call)
ret/default (treat returns as rare)
This appears to make no difference in performance of real
code, meaning the compiler itself. The earlier version of
this has been stripped down to help make the cost of this
only-aesthetic-on-Intel phase be as cheap as possible (we
probably want information about inner loops for improving
register allocation, but because register allocation follows
close behind this pass, conceivably the information could be
reused -- so we might do this anyway just to normalize
output).

Always reading runes (rather than bytes) has negligible overhead
(a simple if at the moment - it can be eliminated eventually) but
simplifies the lexer logic and opens up the door for speedups.
In the process remove many int conversions that are now not needed
anymore.
Also, because identifiers are now more easily recognized, remove
talph label and move identifier lexing "in place".
Also, instead of accepting all chars < 0x80 and then check for
"frogs", only permit valid characters in the first place. Removes
an extra call for common simple tokens and leads to simpler logic.
`time go build -a net/http` (best of 5 runs) seems 1% faster.
Assuming this is in the noise, there is no noticeable performance

Merge push_parser and pop_parser into a single parse_import function
and inline unimportfile. Shake out function boundaries a little bit so
that the symmetry is readily visible.
Move the import_package call into parse_import (and inline
import_there into import_package). This means importfile no longer
needs to provide fake import data to be needlessly lexed/parsed every
time it's called.
Also, instead of indicating import success/failure by whether the next
token is "package", import_spec can just check whether importpkg is
non-nil.
Tangentially, this somehow alters the diagnostics produced for
test/fixedbugs/issue11610.go. However, the new diagnostics are more
consistent with those produced when the empty import statement is
absent, which seems more desirable than maintaining the previous

This bug was introduced in golang.org/cl/18217,
while trying to fix#13777.
Originally I wanted to just disable inlining for the case
being handled incorrectly, but it's fairly difficult to detect
and much easier just to fix. Since the case being handled
incorrectly was inlined correctly in Go 1.5, not inlining it
would also be somewhat of a regression.
So just fix it.
Test case copied from Ian's CL 19520.
The mistake to worry about in this CL would be relaxing
the condition too much (we now print the note more often
than we did yesterday). To confirm that we'd catch this mistake,
I checked that changing (!fmtbody || !t.Funarg) to (true) does
cause fixedbugs/issue13777.go to fail. And putting it back
to what is written in this CL makes that test pass again
as well as the new fixedbugs/issue14331.go.
So I believe that the new condition is correct for both constraints.
Fixes#14331.

Consider this code:
func f(*int)
func g() {
p := new(int)
f(p)
}
where f is an assembly function.
In general liveness analysis assumes that during the call to f, p is dead
in this frame. If f has retained p, p will be found alive in f's frame and keep
the new(int) from being garbage collected. This is all correct and works.
We use the Go func declaration for f to give the assembly function
liveness information (the arguments are assumed live for the entire call).
Now consider this code:
func h1() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
}
Here syscall.Syscall is taking the place of f, but because its arguments
are uintptr, the liveness analysis and the garbage collector ignore them.
Since p is no longer live in h once the call starts, if the garbage collector
scans the stack while the system call is blocked, it will find no reference
to the new(int) and reclaim it. If the kernel is going to write to *p once
the call finishes, reclaiming the memory is a mistake.
We can't change the arguments or the liveness information for
syscall.Syscall itself, both for compatibility and because sometimes the
arguments really are integers, and the garbage collector will get quite upset
if it finds an integer where it expects a pointer. The problem is that
these arguments are fundamentally untyped.
The solution we have taken in the syscall package's wrappers in past
releases is to insert a call to a dummy function named "use", to make
it look like the argument is live during the call to syscall.Syscall:
func h2() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
use(unsafe.Pointer(p))
}
Keeping p alive during the call means that if the garbage collector
scans the stack during the system call now, it will find the reference to p.
Unfortunately, this approach is not available to users outside syscall,
because 'use' is unexported, and people also have to realize they need
to use it and do so. There is much existing code using syscall.Syscall
without a 'use'-like function. That code will fail very occasionally in
mysterious ways (see #13372).
This CL fixes all that existing code by making the compiler do the right
thing automatically, without any code modifications. That is, it takes h1
above, which is incorrect code today, and makes it correct code.
Specifically, if the compiler sees a foreign func definition (one
without a body) that has uintptr arguments, it marks those arguments
as "unsafe uintptrs". If it later sees the function being called
with uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(x)) as an argument, it arranges to mark x
as having escaped, and it makes sure to hold x in a live temporary
variable until the call returns, so that the garbage collector cannot
reclaim whatever heap memory x points to.
For now I am leaving the explicit calls to use in package syscall,
but they can be removed early in a future cycle (likely Go 1.7).
The rule has no effect on escape analysis, only on liveness analysis.
Fixes#13372.

Brief background on "why heap allocate". Things can be
forced to the heap for the following reasons:
1) address published, hence lifetime unknown.
2) size unknown/too large, cannot be stack allocated
3) multiplicity unknown/too large, cannot be stack allocated
4) reachable from heap (not necessarily published)
The bug here is a case of failing to enforce 4) when an
object Y was reachable from a heap allocation X forced
because of 3). It was found in the case of a closure
allocated within a loop (X) and assigned to a variable
outside the loop (multiplicity unknown) where the closure
also captured a map (Y) declared outside the loop (reachable
from heap). Note the variable declared outside the loop (Y)
is not published, has known size, and known multiplicity
(one). The only reason for heap allocation is that it was
reached from a heap allocated item (X), but because that was
not forced by publication, it has to be tracked by loop
level, but escape-loop level was not tracked and thus a bug
results.
The fix is that when a heap allocation is newly discovered,
use its looplevel as the minimum loop level for downstream
escape flooding.
Every attempt to generalize this bug to X-in-loop-
references-Y-outside loop succeeded, so the fix was aimed
to be general. Anywhere that loop level forces heap
allocation, the loop level is tracked. This is not yet
tested for all possible X and Y, but it is correctness-
conservative and because it caused only one trivial
regression in the escape tests, it is probably also
performance-conservative.
The new test checks the following:
1) in the map case, that if fn escapes, so does the map.
2) in the map case, if fn does not escape, neither does the map.
3) in the &x case, that if fn escapes, so does &x.
4) in the &x case, if fn does not escape, neither does &x.

Adding the evconst(n) call for OANDAND and OOROR in

caused test/fixedbugs/issue6671.go's
var b mybool

b = bool(true) && true // ERROR "cannot use"
to start failing (i.e., by not emitting the expected "cannot use"
error).
The problem is that evconst(n)'s settrue and setfalse paths always
reset n.Type to idealbool, even for logical operators where n.Type
should preserve the operand type. Adding the evconst(n) call for
OANDAND/OOROR inadvertantly worked around this by turning the later
evconst(n) call at line 2167 into a noop, so the "n.Type = t"
assignment at line 739 would preserve the operand type.
However, that means evconst(n) was still clobbering n.Type for ONOT,
so declarations like:
const _ bool = !mybool(true)
were erroneously accepted.
