The loop recognizer uses the standard dominance
frontiers but gets confused by dead code, which
has a (not explicitly set) rpo number of 0, meaning it
looks like the head of the function, so it dominates
everything. If the loop recognizer encounters dead
code while tracking backward through the graph
it fails to recognize where it started as a loop, and
then the optimizer does not registerize values loaded
inside that loop. Fix by checking rpo against rpo2r.
Separately, run a quick pass over the generated
code to squash JMPs to JMP instructions, which
are convenient to emit during code generation but
difficult to read when debugging the -S output.
A side effect of this pass is to eliminate dead code,
so the output files may be slightly smaller and the
optimizer may have less work to do.
There is no semantic effect, because the linkers
flatten JMP chains and delete dead instructions
when laying out the final code. Doing it here too
just makes the -S output easier to read and more
like what the final binary will contain.
The "dead code breaks loop finding" bug is thus
fixed twice over. It seemed prudent to fix loopit
separately just in case dead code ever sneaks back
in for one reason or another.

summary: gc: unify stack frame layout
introduced a bug wherein no variables were
being registerized, making Go programs 2-3x
slower than they had been before.
This CL fixes that bug (along with some others
it was hiding) and adds a test that optimization
makes at least one test case faster.

allocparams + tempname + compactframe
all knew about how to place stack variables.
Now only compactframe, renamed to allocauto,
does the work. Until the last minute, each PAUTO
variable is in its own space and has xoffset == 0.
This might break 5g. I get failures in concurrent
code running under qemu and I can't tell whether
it's 5g's fault or qemu's. We'll see what the real
ARM builders say.

Does as much as possible in data layout instead
of during the init function.
Handles var x = y; var y = z as a special case too,
because it is so prevalent in package unicode
(var Greek = _Greek; var _Greek = []...).
Introduces InitPlan description of initialized data
so that it can be traversed multiple times (for example,
in the copy handler).
Cuts package unicode's init function size by 8x.
All that remains there is map initialization, which
is on the chopping block too.
Fixes sinit.go test case.
Aggregate DATA instructions at end of object file.
Checkpoint. More to come.

#include "go.h" (or "gg.h")

#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
#include "go.h"
so that go.y can #include <stdio.h>
after <u.h> but before "go.h".

is problematic because the liveness range for
autotmp_0000 (0006-0009) is nested completely
inside a span where BX holds a live value (0003-0015).
Because the register allocator only looks at 0006-0009
to see which registers are used, it misses the fact that
BX is unavailable and uses it anyway.
The n->pun = anyregalloc() check in tempname is
a workaround for this bug, but I hit it again because
I did the tempname call before allocating BX, even
though I then used the temporary after storing in BX.
This should fix the real bug, and then we can remove
the workaround in tempname.
The code creates pseudo-variables for each register
and includes that information in the liveness propagation.
Then the regu fields can be populated using that more
complete information. With that approach, BX is marked
as in use on every line in the whole span 0003-0015,
so that the decision about autotmp_0000
(using only 0006-0009) still has all the information
it needs.
This is not specific to the 386, but it only happens in
generated code of the form
load R1
...
load var into R2
...
store R2 back into var
...
use R1
and for the most part the other compilers generate
the loads for a given compiled line before any of
the stores. Even so, this may not be the case everywhere,
so the change is worth making in all three.

Makes all.bash work after echo 4 >/proc/cpu/alignment,
which means kill the process on an unaligned access.
The default behavior on DreamPlug/GuruPlug/SheevaPlug
is to simulate an ARMv3 and just let the unaligned accesses
stop at the word boundary, resulting in all kinds of surprises.

Node &n2 to regalloc, causing non-deterministic

The ld time was dominated by symbol table processing, so
* increase hash table size
* emit fewer symbols in gc (just 1 per string, 1 per type)
* add read-only lookup to avoid creating spurious symbols
* add linked list to speed whole-table traversals
Breaks dwarf generator (no idea why), so disable dwarf.

description:
fix issue 798
cannot allocate an audomatic temp
while real registers are allocated.
there is a chance that the automatic
will be allocated to one of the
allocated registers. the fix is to
not registerize such variables.
