Trying to work around clang's dodgy support for .arch by reverting to the external assembler didn't work out so well. Minux had a much better solution to encode the instructions we need as .word directives which avoids .arch altogether.

cmd/cgo: disable clang's integrated assembler
Fixes#8348.
Clang's internal assembler (introduced by default in clang 3.4) understands the .arch directive, but doesn't change the default value of -march. This causes the build to fail when we use BLX (armv5 and above) when clang is compiled for the default armv4t architecture (which appears to be the default on all the distros I've used).
This is probably a clang bug, so work around it for the time being by disabling the integrated assembler when compiling the cgo assembly shim.
This CL also includes a small change to ldelf.c which was required as clang 3.4 and above generate more weird symtab entries.

I came across this while debugging a GC problem in gccgo.
There is code in assignTo and cvtT2I that handles assignment
to all interface values. It allocates an empty interface even
if the real type is a non-empty interface. The fields are
then set for a non-empty interface, but the memory is recorded
as holding an empty interface. This means that the GC has
incorrect information.
This is extremely unlikely to fail, because the code in the GC
that handles empty interfaces looks like this:
obj = nil;
typ = eface->type;
if(typ != nil) {
if(!(typ->kind&KindDirectIface) || !(typ->kind&KindNoPointers))
obj = eface->data;
In the current runtime the condition is always true--if
KindDirectIface is set, then KindNoPointers is clear--and we
always want to set obj = eface->data. So the question is what
happens when we incorrectly store a non-empty interface value
in memory marked as an empty interface. In that case
eface->type will not be a *rtype as we expect, but will
instead be a pointer to an Itab. We are going to use this
pointer to look at a *rtype kind field. The *rtype struct
starts out like this:
type rtype struct {
size uintptr
hash uint32 // hash of type; avoids computation in hash tables
_ uint8 // unused/padding
align uint8 // alignment of variable with this type
fieldAlign uint8 // alignment of struct field with this type
kind uint8 // enumeration for C
An Itab always has at least two pointers, so on a
little-endian 64-bit system the kind field will be the high
byte of the second pointer. This will normally be zero, so
the test of typ->kind will succeed, which is what we want.
On a 32-bit system it might be possible to construct a failing
case by somehow getting the Itab for an interface with one
method to be immediately followed by a word that is all ones.
The effect would be that the test would sometimes fail and the
GC would not mark obj, leading to an invalid dangling
pointer. I have not tried to construct this test.
I noticed this in gccgo, where this error is much more likely
to cause trouble for a rather random reason: gccgo uses a
different layout of rtype, and in gccgo the kind field happens
to be the low byte of a pointer, not the high byte.

https://golang.org/cl/152700045/ made it possible for struct literals assigned to globals to use <N> as the RHS. Normally, this is to zero out variables on first use. Because globals are already zero (or their linker initialized value), we just ignored this.
Now that <N> can occur from non-initialization code, we need to emit this code. We don't use <N> for initialization of globals any more, so this shouldn't cause any excessive zeroing.

This adds a Reset() to compress/flate's decompressor and plumbs that through
to compress/zlib and compress/gzip's Readers so callers can avoid large

preserves the allocation of the decompressor.hist buffer, which is 32kb and

In this case, c.recvq lists two SudoGs which have the same G.
So we can't use the G as the key to dequeue the correct SudoG,
as that key is ambiguous. Dequeueing the wrong SudoG ends up
freeing a SudoG that is still in c.recvq.
The fix is to use the actual SudoG pointer as the key.

Bytes buffers have more API and are a little slower. Since appending

speeds things up measurably.
The couple of positive swings are likely garbage-collection related
since memory allocation looks different in the benchmark now.

Both of these forms can avoid writing to the base pointer in x
(in the slice, always, and in the append, most of the time).
For Go 1.5, will need to change the compilation of x = x[0:y]
to avoid writing to the base pointer, so that the elision is safe,
and will need to change the compilation of x = append(x, ...)
to write to the base pointer (through a barrier) only when
growing the underlying array, so that the general elision is safe.
For Go 1.4, elide the write barrier always, a change that should
have equivalent performance characteristics but is much
simpler and therefore safer.

A new attack on CBC padding in SSLv3 was released yesterday[1]. Go only
supports SSLv3 as a server, not as a client. An easy fix is to change
the default minimum version to TLS 1.0 but that seems a little much
this late in the 1.4 process as it may break some things.
Thus this patch adds server support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV[2] -- a
mechanism for solving the fallback problem overall. Chrome has
implemented this since February and Google has urged others to do so in
light of yesterday's news.
With this change, clients can indicate that they are doing a fallback
connection and Go servers will be able to correctly reject them.

Among other things, *x = T{} does not need a write barrier.
The changes here avoid an unnecessary copy even when
no pointers are involved, so it may have larger effects.
In 6g and 8g, avoid manually repeated STOSQ in favor of
writing explicit MOVs, under the theory that the MOVs
should have fewer dependencies and pipeline better.
