Ian proposed an improved way of handling signals masks in Go, motivated
by a problem where the Android java runtime expects certain signals to
be blocked for all JVM threads. Discussion here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-dev/_TSCkQHJt6g
Ian's text is used in the following:
A Go program always needs to have the synchronous signals enabled.
These are the signals for which _SigPanic is set in sigtable, namely
SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGFPE.
A Go program that uses the os/signal package, and calls signal.Notify,
needs to have at least one thread which is not blocking that signal,
but it doesn't matter much which one.
Unix programs do not change signal mask across execve. They inherit
signal masks across fork. The shell uses this fact to some extent;
for example, the job control signals (SIGTTIN, SIGTTOU, SIGTSTP) are
blocked for commands run due to backquote quoting or $().
Our current position on signal masks was not thought out. We wandered
into step by step, e.g., http://golang.org/cl/7323067 .
This CL does the following:
Introduce a new platform hook, msigsave, that saves the signal mask of
the current thread to m.sigsave.
Call msigsave from needm and newm.
In minit grab set up the signal mask from m.sigsave and unblock the
essential synchronous signals, and SIGILL, SIGTRAP, SIGPROF, SIGSTKFLT
(for systems that have it).
In unminit, restore the signal mask from m.sigsave.
The first time that os/signal.Notify is called, start a new thread whose
only purpose is to update its signal mask to make sure signals for
signal.Notify are unblocked on at least one thread.
The effect on Go programs will be that if they are invoked with some
non-synchronous signals blocked, those signals will normally be
ignored. Previously, those signals would mostly be ignored. A change
in behaviour will occur for programs started with any of these signals
blocked, if they receive the signal: SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGABRT,
SIGTERM. Previously those signals would always cause a crash (unless
using the os/signal package); with this change, they will be ignored
if the program is started with the signal blocked (and does not use
the os/signal package).
./all.bash completes successfully on linux/amd64.
OpenBSD is missing the implementation.

With 128KB stack reservation, on 32-bit Windows, the maximum number
threads is ~9000.
The original 65535-byte stack commit is causing problem on Windows
XP where it makes the stack reservation to be 1MB despite the fact
that the runtime specified 128KB.

This CL revises CL 7504 to use explicitly uintptr types for the
struct fields that are going to be updated sometimes without
write barriers. The result is that the fields are now updated *always*
without write barriers.
This approach has two important properties:
1) Now the GC never looks at the field, so if the missing reference
could cause a problem, it will do so all the time, not just when the
write barrier is missed at just the right moment.
2) Now a write barrier never happens for the field, avoiding the
(correct) detection of inconsistent write barriers when GODEBUG=wbshadow=1.

Currently, various functions are marked with the comment
// May run without a P, so write barriers are not allowed.
However, "running without a P" is ambiguous. We intended these to mean
that m.p may be nil (which is the condition checked by the write
barrier). The comment could also be taken to mean that a
stop-the-world may happen, which is not the case for these functions
because they run in situations where there is in fact a function on
the stack holding a P locally, it just isn't in m.p.
Change these comments to state precisely what we mean, that m.p may be
nil.

handoffp by definition runs without a P, so it's not allowed to have
write barriers. It doesn't have any right now, but mark it
nowritebarrier to disallow any creeping in in the future. handoffp in
turns calls startm, newm, and newosproc, all of which are "below Go"
and make sense to run without a P, so disallow write barriers in these
as well.
For most functions, we've done this because they may race with
stoptheworld() and hence must not have write barriers. For these
functions, it's a little different: the world can't stop while we're
in handoffp, so this race isn't present. But we implement this
restriction with a somewhat broader rule that you can't have a write
barrier without a P. We like this rule because it's simple and means
that our write barriers can depend on there being a P, even though
this rule is actually a little broader than necessary. Hence, even
though there's no danger of the race in these functions, we want to
adhere to the broader rule.

There are calls to stdcall when the GC thinks the world is stopped
and stdcall write a *g for the CPU profiler. This produces a write
barrier but the GC is not prepared to deal with write barriers when
it thinks the world is stopped. Since the g is on allg it does not
need a write barrier to keep it alive so eliminate the write barrier.

When external linking, we must link to implib provided by mingw, so we must use
properly decorated names for stdcalls.
Because the feature is only used in the runtime, I've designed a new decoration
scheme so that we can use the same decorated name for both 386 and amd64.
A stdcall function named FooEx from bar16.dll which takes 3 parameters will be
imported like this:
//go:cgo_import_dynamic runtime._FooEx FooEx%3 "bar16.dll"
Depending on the size of uintptr, the linker will later transform it to _FooEx@12
or _FooEx@24.
This is in prepration for the next CL that adds external linking support for
windows/386.

This makes Go's CPU profiling code somewhat more idiomatic; e.g.,
using := instead of forward declaring variables, using "int" for
element counts instead of "uintptr", and slices instead of C-style
pointer+length. This makes the code easier to read and eliminates a
lot of type conversion clutter.
Additionally, in sigprof we can collect just maxCPUProfStack stack
frames, as cpuprof won't use more than that anyway.

Normally, a panic/throw only shows the thread stack for the current thread
and all paused goroutines. Goroutines running on other threads, or other threads
running on their system stacks, are opaque. Change that when GODEBUG=crash,
by passing a SIGQUIT around to all the threads when GODEBUG=crash.
If this works out reasonably well, we might make the SIGQUIT relay part of
the standard panic/throw death, perhaps eliding idle m's.
