During garbage collection, after scanning a stack, we think about
shrinking it to reclaim some memory. The shrinking code (called
while the world is stopped) checked that the status was Gwaiting
or Grunnable and then changed the state to Gcopystack, to essentially
lock the stack so that no other GC thread is scanning it.
The same locking happens for stack growth (and is more necessary there).
oldstatus = runtime·readgstatus(gp);
oldstatus &= ~Gscan;
if(oldstatus == Gwaiting || oldstatus == Grunnable)
runtime·casgstatus(gp, oldstatus, Gcopystack); // oldstatus is Gwaiting or Grunnable
else
runtime·throw("copystack: bad status, not Gwaiting or Grunnable");
Unfortunately, "stop the world" doesn't stop everything. It stops all
normal goroutine execution, but the network polling thread is still
blocked in epoll and may wake up. If it does, and it chooses a goroutine
to mark runnable, and that goroutine is the one whose stack is shrinking,
then it can happen that between readgstatus and casgstatus, the status
changes from Gwaiting to Grunnable.
casgstatus assumes that if the status is not what is expected, it is a
transient change (like from Gwaiting to Gscanwaiting and back, or like
from Gwaiting to Gcopystack and back), and it loops until the status
has been restored to the expected value. In this case, the status has
changed semi-permanently from Gwaiting to Grunnable - it won't
change again until the GC is done and the world can continue, but the
GC is waiting for the status to change back. This wedges the program.
To fix, call a special variant of casgstatus that accepts either Gwaiting
or Grunnable as valid statuses.
Without the fix bug with the extra check+throw in casgstatus, the
program below dies in a few seconds (2-10) with GOMAXPROCS=8
on a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. With the fix, it runs for minutes
and minutes.

These accomplished the same thing, but R_CALLPOWER expected
the whole instruction to be in the addend (and completely
overwrote what was in the text section), while R_PPC64_REL24
overwrites only bits 6 through 24 of whatever was in the text
section. Make R_CALLPOWER work like R_PPC64_REL24 to ease the
implementation of dynamic linking.

This adds some utilities for converting between the CC, V, and

ProgInfo entries for these variants (which are identical to
the ProgInfo for the base operations).
The 9g peephole optimizer will also use these conversion
utilities.

We don't know what we need yet, so add them all.
Add them even on x86 architectures (as no-ops) so that
the GC can refer to them unconditionally.
Eventually we'll know what we want and probably
have just one 'prefetch' with an appropriate meaning
on each architecture.

Race detector runtime does not tolerate operations on addresses
that was not previously declared with __tsan_map_shadow
(namely, data, bss and heap). The corresponding address
checks for atomic operations were removed in
https://golang.org/cl/111310044
Restore these checks.
It's tricker than just not calling into race runtime,
because it is the race runtime that makes the atomic
operations themselves (if we do not call into race runtime
we skip the atomic operation itself as well). So instead we call
__tsan_go_ignore_sync_start/end around the atomic operation.
This forces race runtime to skip all other processing
except than doing the atomic operation itself.
Fixes#9136.

The assumption can be violated by external linkers reordering them or
inserting non-Go sections in between them. I looked briefly at trying
to write out the _go_.o in external linking mode in a way that forced
the ordering, but no matter what there's no way to force Go's data
and Go's bss to be next to each other. If there is any data or bss from
non-Go objects, it's very likely to get stuck in between them.
Instead, rewrite the two places we know about that make the assumption.
I grepped for noptrdata to look for more and didn't find any.
The added race test (os/exec in external linking mode) fails without
the changes in the runtime. It crashes with an invalid pointer dereference.
Fixes#9133.

struct siginfo_t's si_addr field is part of a union.
Previously, we represented this union in Go using an opaque
byte array and accessed the si_addr field using unsafe (and
wrong on 386 and arm!) pointer arithmetic. Since si_addr is
the only field we use from this union, this replaces the
opaque byte array with an explicit declaration of the si_addr
field and accesses it directly.

Previously, this used the top 8 bits of an instruction as a
sort-of opcode and ignored the top two bits of the relative
PC. This worked because these jumps are always negative and
never big enough for the top two bits of the relative PC (also
the bottom 2 bits of the sort-of opcode) to be anything other
than 0b11, but the code is confusing because it doesn't match
the actual structure of the instruction.
Instead, use the real 6 bit opcode and use all 24 bits of
relative PC.

Previously, lfstack assumed Linux limited user space addresses
to 43 bits on Power64 based on a paper from 2001. It turns
out the limit is now 46 bits, so lfstack was truncating
pointers.
Raise the limit to 48 bits (for some future proofing and to
make it match amd64) and add a self-test that will fail in a
useful way if ever unpack(pack(x)) != x.
