Gentraceback may grow the stack.
One of the gentraceback wrappers may grow the stack.
One of the gentraceback callback calls may grow the stack.
Various stack pointers are stored in various stack locations
as type uintptr during the execution of these calls.
If the stack does grow, these stack pointers will not be
updated and will start trying to decode stack memory that
is no longer valid.
It may be possible to change the type of the stack pointer
variables to be unsafe.Pointer, but that's pretty subtle and
may still have problems, even if we catch every last one.
An easier, more obviously correct fix is to require that
gentraceback of the currently running goroutine must run
on the g0 stack, not on the goroutine's own stack.
Not doing this causes faults when you set
StackFromSystem = 1
StackFaultOnFree = 1
The new check in gentraceback will catch future lapses.
The more general problem is calling getcallersp but then
calling a function that might relocate the stack, which would
invalidate the result of getcallersp. Add note to stubs.go
declaration of getcallersp explaining the problem, and
check all existing calls to getcallersp. Most needed fixes.
This affects Callers, Stack, and nearly all the runtime
profiling routines. It does not affect stack copying directly
nor garbage collection.

Previously, mkvar treated, for example, 0(AX) the same as AX.
As a result, a move to an indirect address would be marked as
*setting* the register, rather than just using it, resulting
in unnecessary register moves. Fix this by not producing

So far all of our architectures have had at most 32 registers,
so we've been able to use entry 0 in the Bits uint32 array
directly as a register mask. Power64 has 64 registers, so
this converts Bits to a uint64 array so we can continue to use
entry 0 directly as a register mask on Power64.

One failing case this removes is:
var bytes = []byte("hello, world")
var copy_bytes = bytes
We could handle this in the compiler, but it requires special
case for a variable that is initialized to the value of a
variable that is initialized to a string literal converted to
[]byte. This seems an unlikely case--it never occurs in the
standrd library--and it seems unnecessary to write the code to
handle it.
If we do want to support this case, one approach is
https://golang.org/cl/171840043.
The other failing cases are of the form
var bx bool
var copy_bx = bx
The compiler used to initialize copy_bx to false. However,
that led to issue 7665, since bx may be initialized in non-Go
code. The compiler no longer assumes that bx must be false,
so copy_bx can not be statically initialized.
We can fix these with https://golang.org/cl/169040043
if we also pass -complete to the compiler as part of this
test. This is OK but it's too late in the release cycle.

The check for unknown command line debug flags in gc was

Previously, nilopt was disabled on power64x because it threw
away "seemly random segments of code." Indeed, excise on
power64x failed to preserve the link field, so it excised not
only the requested instruction but all following instructions
in the function. Fix excise to retain the link field while
otherwise zeroing the instruction.
This makes nilopt safe on power64x. It still fails
nilptr3.go's tests for removal of repeated nil checks because
those depend on also optimizing away repeated loads, which
doesn't currently happen on power64x.

fastrand1 depends on testing the high bit of its uint32 state.
For efficiency, all of the architectures implement this as a
sign bit test. However, on power64, fastrand1 was using a
64-bit sign test on the zero-extended 32-bit state. This
always failed, causing fastrand1 to have very short periods
and often decay to 0 and get stuck.
Fix this by using a 32-bit signed compare instead of a 64-bit
compare. This fixes various tests for the randomization of
select of map iteration.

All three cases of clearfat were wrong on power64x.
The cases that handle 1032 bytes and up and 32 bytes and up
both use MOVDU (one directly generated in a loop and the other
via duffzero), which leaves the pointer register pointing at
the *last written* address. The generated code was not
accounting for this, so the byte fill loop was re-zeroing the
last zeroed dword, rather than the bytes following the last
zeroed dword. Fix this by simply adding an additional 8 byte
offset to the byte zeroing loop.
The case that handled under 32 bytes was also wrong. It
didn't update the pointer register at all, so the byte zeroing
loop was simply re-zeroing the beginning of region. Again,
the fix is to add an offset to the byte zeroing loop to
account for this.

If you get a stack of PCs from Callers, it would be expected
that every PC is immediately after a call instruction, so to find
the line of the call, you look up the line for PC-1.
CL 163550043 now explicitly documents that.
The most common exception to this is the top-most return PC
on the stack, which is the entry address of the runtime.goexit
function. Subtracting 1 from that PC will end up in a different
function entirely.
To remove this special case, make the top-most return PC
goexit+PCQuantum and then implement goexit in assembly
so that the first instruction can be skipped.

Originally traceback was only used for printing the stack
when an unexpected signal came in. In that case, the
initial PC is taken from the signal and should be used
unaltered. For the callers, the PC is the return address,
which might be on the line after the call; we subtract 1
to get to the CALL instruction.
Traceback is now used for a variety of things, and for
almost all of those the initial PC is a return address,
whether from getcallerpc, or gp->sched.pc, or gp->syscallpc.
In those cases, we need to subtract 1 from this initial PC,
but the traceback code had a hard rule "never subtract 1
from the initial PC", left over from the signal handling days.
Change gentraceback to take a flag that specifies whether
we are tracing a trap.
Change traceback to default to "starting with a return PC",
which is the overwhelmingly common case.
Add tracebacktrap, like traceback but starting with a trap PC.
Use tracebacktrap in signal handlers.
