This change is part of the plan to get rid of all vararg C calls
which are a pain for getting exact stack scanning.
We allocate a chunk of zero memory to return a pointer to when a
map access doesn't find the key. This is simpler than returning nil
and fixing things up in the caller. Linker magic allocates a single
zero memory area that is shared by all (non-reflect-generated) map
types.
Passing things by reference gets rid of some copies, so it speeds
up code with big keys/values.

The CL causes misc/cgo/test to fail randomly.
I suspect that the problem is the use of a division instruction
in usleep, which can be called while trying to acquire an m
and therefore cannot store the denominator in m.
The solution to that would be to rewrite the code to use a
magic multiply instead of a divide, but now we're getting
pretty far off the original code.
Go back to the original in preparation for a different,
less efficient but simpler fix.
««« original CL description
cmd/5l, runtime: make ARM integer division profiler-friendly
The implementation of division constructed non-standard
stack frames that could not be handled by the traceback
routines.
CL 13239052 left the frames non-standard but fixed them
for the specific case of a divide-by-zero panic.
A profiling signal can arrive at any time, so that fix
is not sufficient.
Change the division to store the extra argument in the M struct
instead of in a new stack slot. That keeps the frames bog standard
at all times.
Also fix a related bug in the traceback code: when starting
a traceback, the LR register should be ignored if the current
function has already allocated its stack frame and saved the
original LR on the stack. The stack copy should be used, as the
LR register may have been modified.
Combined, these make the torture test from issue 6681 pass.

If a fault happens in malloc, inevitably the next thing that happens
is a deadlock trying to allocate the panic value that says the fault
happened. Stop doing that, two ways.
First, reject panic in malloc just as we reject panic in garbage collection.
Second, runtime.panicstring was using an error implementation
backed by a Go string, so the interface held an allocated *string.
Since the actual errors are C strings, define a new error
implementation backed by a C char*, which needs no indirection
and therefore no allocation.
This second fix will avoid allocation for errors like nil panic derefs
or division by zero, so it is worth doing even though the first fix
should take care of faults during malloc.

Bug #1:
Issue 5406 identified an interesting case:
defer iface.M()
may end up calling a wrapper that copies an indirect receiver
from the iface value and then calls the real M method. That's
two calls down, not just one, and so recover() == nil always
in the real M method, even during a panic.
[For the purposes of this entire discussion, a wrapper's
implementation is a function containing an ordinary call, not
the optimized tail call form that is somtimes possible. The
tail call does not create a second frame, so it is already
handled correctly.]
Fix this bug by introducing g->panicwrap, which counts the
number of bytes on current stack segment that are due to
wrapper calls that should not count against the recover
check. All wrapper functions must now adjust g->panicwrap up
on entry and back down on exit. This adds slightly to their
expense; on the x86 it is a single instruction at entry and
exit; on the ARM it is three. However, the alternative is to
make a call to recover depend on being able to walk the stack,
which I very much want to avoid. We have enough problems
walking the stack for garbage collection and profiling.
Also, if performance is critical in a specific case, it is already
faster to use a pointer receiver and avoid this kind of wrapper
entirely.
Bug #2:
The old code, which did not consider the possibility of two
calls, already contained a check to see if the call had split
its stack and so the panic-created segment was one behind the
current segment. In the wrapper case, both of the two calls
might split their stacks, so the panic-created segment can be
two behind the current segment.
Fix this by propagating the Stktop.panic flag forward during
stack splits instead of looking backward during recover.
Fixes#5406.

Originally the requirement was f(x) where f's argument is
exactly x's type.
CL 11858043 relaxed the requirement in a non-standard
way: f's argument must be exactly x's type or interface{}.
If we're going to relax the requirement, it should be done
in a way consistent with the rest of Go. This CL allows f's
argument to have any type for which x is assignable;
that's the same requirement the compiler would impose
if compiling f(x) directly.

This means that pprof will no longer report profiles on OS X.
That's unfortunate, but the profiles were often wrong and, worse,
it was difficult to tell whether the profile was wrong or not.
The workarounds were making the scheduler more complex,
possibly caused a deadlock (see issue 5519), and did not actually
deliver reliable results.
It may be possible for adventurous users to apply a patch to
their kernels to get working results, or perhaps having no results
will encourage someone to do the work of creating a profiling
