On Windows, externalthreadhandler currently sets the assumed stack
size for the profiler thread and the ctrlhandler threads to 8KB. The
actual stack size is determined by the SizeOfStackReserve field in the
binary set by the linker, which is currently at least 64KB (and
typically 128KB).
It turns out the profiler thread is running within a few words of the
8KB-(stack guard) bound set by externalthreadhandler. If it overflows
this bound, morestack crashes unceremoniously with an access
violation, which we then fail to handle, causing the whole process to
exit without explanation.
To avoid this problem and give us some breathing room, increase the
assumed stack size in externalthreadhandler to 32KB (there's some
unknown amount of stack already in use, so it's not safe to increase
this all the way to the reserve size).
We also document the relationships between externalthreadhandler and
SizeOfStackReserve to make this more obvious in the future.

The PowerPC ISA does not have a PC-relative load instruction, which poses
obvious challenges when generating position-independent code. The way the ELFv2
ABI addresses this is to specify that r2 points to a per "module" (shared
library or executable) TOC pointer. Maintaining this pointer requires
cooperation between codegen and the system linker:
* Non-leaf functions leave space on the stack at r1+24 to save the TOC pointer.
* A call to a function that *might* have to go via a PLT stub must be followed
by a nop instruction that the system linker can replace with "ld r1, 24(r1)"
to restore the TOC pointer (only when dynamically linking Go code).
* When calling a function via a function pointer, the address of the function
must be in r12, and the first couple of instructions (the "global entry
point") of the called function use this to derive the address of the TOC
for the module it is in.
* When calling a function that is implemented in the same module, the system
linker adjusts the call to skip over the instructions mentioned above (the
"local entry point"), assuming that r2 is already correctly set.
So this changeset adds the global entry point instructions, sets the metadata so
the system linker knows where the local entry point is, inserts code to save the
TOC pointer at 24(r1), adds a nop after any call not known to be local and copes
with the odd non-local code transfer in the runtime (e.g. the stuff around
jmpdefer). It does not actually compile PIC yet.

package in order to use the C/C++ memory sanitizer.
This CL passes tests but is not usable by itself. The actual
runtime/msan package, and support for -msan in the go tool and the
compiler, and tests, are in separate CLs.

Go cannot allow lazy PLT resolution when calling between Go functions because
the lazy resolution can use more stack than is available. Lazy resolution is
disabled by passing -z now to the system linker, but unfortunately was only
passed when linking to a Go shared library. That sounds fine, but the shared
library containing the runtime is not linked to any other Go shared library but
calls main.init and main.main via a PLT, and before this fix this did use lazy
resolution. (For some reason this never caused a problem on intel, but it
breaks on ppc64le). Fortunately the fix is very simple: always pass -z now to
the system linker when dynamically linking Go.

It is generally expected that the ELF flags of a dynamically linked executable
and the libraries it links against match. Go's linker currently always produces
executables with flags that do not declare a float abi (hard, soft) at all, but
when cgo is involved it is unlikely that this matches the system libraries
being linked against -- really the decision about ABI is made by the C compiler
during the invocation of cgo.
This change is basically a port of the code from binutils that parses the
".ARM.attributes" section to check for the tag that declares that the code is
built for the hard-float ABI.

TestNoteReading fails on Solaris with linkmode=external due to some
assumptions made about how ELF .note sections are written by some
linkers.
On current versions of Solaris and older derivatives, SHF_ALLOC is
intentionally ignored for .note sections unless the .note section is
assigned to the text segment via a mapfile. Also, if .note sections
are assigned to the text segment, no PT_NOTE program header will be
created thwarting Go's attempts at attempting to quickly find the
.note.
Furthermore, Go assumes that the relevant note segment will be placed
early in the file while the Solaris linker currently places the note
segment last in the file, additionally thwarting Go's optimisation
attempts that read only the first 16KB of the file to find the
buildid.
The fix is to detect when the note section is outside of the first
16KB of the file and then fallback to additionally reading that
section of the file. This way, in future versions of Solaris when
this linking behaviour is changed, the fast path will always succeed
and we'll only be slower if it fails; likewise, any other linker that
does this will also just work.

it was a safe, conservative approximation to simply adjust stack
space as we went, recognizing morestack when it showed up.
Subsequent CLS will rearrange the function prologue;
morestack may no longer be the first call in a function.
Introducing flow-sensitivity to stkcheck would allow this,
and possibly allow a smaller stackguard.
It is also a high risk change and possibly expensive.
Instead, assume that all calls to morestack occur as

The motivation for this is the innocuous looking test case that is added. This
creates a stack exe -> libdep2.so -> libdep.so -> libruntime.so. The problem
comes from the fact that a function from libdep.so gets inlined all the way
into exe. This (unsurprisingly) means that the object file for exe references
symbols from libdep.so, which means that -ldep needs to be passed when linking
exe and it isn't. The fix is simply to pass it -- there is no harm in passing
it when it's not needed.
The thing is, it's not clear at all in the current code to see how the linker
can know that libdep2 is linked against libdep. It could look through the
DT_NEEDED entries in libdep2 and try to guess which are Go libraries, but it
feels better to be explicit. So this adds another SHT_NOTE section that lists
the shared libraries a shared library was linked against, and makes sure the
complete set of depended upon shared libraries is passed to the external
linker.

This makes for a more stable API for tools (including cmd/link itself) to
extract the abi hash from a shared library and makes it possible at all for a
library that has had the local symbol table removed.
The existing note-writing code only supports writing notes into the very start
of the object file so they are easy to find in core dumps. This doesn't apply
to the "go" notes and means that all notes have to fit into a fixed size
budget. That's annoying now we have more notes (and the next CL will add
another one) so this does a little bit of work to make adding notes that do not
have to go at the start of the file easier and moves the writing of the package
list note over to that mechanism, which lets me revert a hack that increased
the size budget mentioned above for -buildmode=shared builds.

The LSym.Section and Section.Elfsect fields were defined as interface{} but
always had the same concrete type (*Section and *ElfShdr respectively) so just
define them with that type. Reduces size of LSym from 328 to 320 bytes and
reduces best-of-10 maxresident size from 246028k to 238036k when linking
libstd.so.

It can be useful when debugging to be able to see what the external
linker is doing even when it succeeds. In particular this permits
passing -v to the external linker to see precisely what it is doing.

This CL removes the remaining visible uses of the "architecture letter" concept.
(They are no longer in tool names nor in source directory names.)
Because the architecture letter concept is now gone, delete GOCHAR
from "go env" output, and change go/build.ArchChar to return an
error always.
The architecture letter is still used in the compiler and linker sources
as a clumsy architecture enumeration, but that use is not visible to
Go users and can be cleaned up separately.

Trivial merging of 5g, 6g, ... into go tool compile,
and similarlly 5l, 6l, ... into go tool link.
The files compile/main.go and link/main.go are new.
Everything else in those directories is a move followed by
change of imports and package name.
This CL breaks the build. Manual fixups are in the next CL.

The constants in cmd/internal/goobj had gone stale (we had three copies of
these constants, working on reducing that was what got me to noticing this).
Some of the changes to link.hello.darwin.amd64 are the change from absolute
to %rip-relative addressing, a change which happened quite a while ago...
Depends on http://golang.org/cl/9113.

debug/goobj is not ready to be published but it is
needed for the various binary-reading commands.
Move to cmd/internal/goobj.
(The Go 1.3 release branch deleted it, but that's not
an option anymore due to the command dependencies.
The API is still not vetted nor terribly well designed.)

The file is used by assembly code to define symbols like NOSPLIT.
Having it hidden inside the cmd directory makes it hard to access
outside the standard repository.
Solution: As with a couple of other files used by cgo, copy the
file into the pkg directory and add a -I argument to the assembler
to access it. Thus one can write just
#include "textflag.h"
in .s files.
The names in runtime are not updated because in the boot sequence the
file has not been copied yet when runtime is built. All other .s files
in the repository are updated.
Changes to doc/asm.html, src/cmd/dist/build.c, and src/cmd/go/build.go
are hand-made. The rest are just the renaming done by a global
substitution. (Yay sam).

The >>1 shift needs to happen before converting to int32, otherwise
large values will decode with an incorrect sign bit.
The <<31 shift can happen before or after, but before is consistent
with liblink and the go12symtab doc.

The relocation and automatic variable types were using
arch-specific numbers. Introduce portable enumerations
instead.
To the best of my knowledge, these are the only arch-specific
bits left in the new object file format.
Remove now, before Go 1.3, because file formats are forever.

a repeat of http://bugs.debian.org/716853.
The CL will probably show the testdata diffs as "binary",
