This makes Go's CPU profiling code somewhat more idiomatic; e.g.,
using := instead of forward declaring variables, using "int" for
element counts instead of "uintptr", and slices instead of C-style
pointer+length. This makes the code easier to read and eliminates a
lot of type conversion clutter.
Additionally, in sigprof we can collect just maxCPUProfStack stack
frames, as cpuprof won't use more than that anyway.

g.issystem flag setup races with other code wherever we set it.
Even if we set both in parent goroutine and in the system goroutine,
it is still possible that some other goroutine crashes
before the flag is set. We could pass issystem flag to newproc1,

Instead look at g.startpc to distinguish system goroutines (similar to topofstack).

Previously, we checked for a saved frame pointer by looking for a
2*ptrSize gap between the argument pointer and the locals pointer.
The intent of this check was to look for a two stack slot gap (caller
IP and saved frame pointer), but stack slots are regSize, not ptrSize.
Correct this by checking instead for a 2*regSize gap.
On most platforms, this made no difference because ptrSize==regSize.
However, on amd64p32 (nacl), the saved frame pointer check incorrectly
fired when there was no saved frame pointer because the one stack slot
for the caller IP left an 8 byte gap, which is 2*ptrSize (but not
2*regSize) on amd64p32.

This adds a "framepointer" GOEXPERIMENT that that makes the amd64
toolchain maintain base pointer chains in the same way that gcc
-fno-omit-frame-pointer does. Go doesn't use these saved base
pointers, but this does enable external tools like Linux perf and
VTune to unwind Go stacks when collecting system-wide profiles.
This requires support in the compilers to not clobber BP, support in
liblink for generating the BP-saving function prologue and unwinding
epilogue, and support in the runtime to save BPs across preemption, to
skip saved BPs during stack unwinding and, and to adjust saved BPs
during stack moving.
As with other GOEXPERIMENTs, everything from the toolchain to the
runtime must be compiled with this experiment enabled. To do this,
run make.bash (or all.bash) with GOEXPERIMENT=framepointer.

Scalararg and ptrarg are not "signal safe".
Go code filling them out can be interrupted by a signal,
and then the signal handler runs, and if it also ends up
in Go code that uses scalararg or ptrarg, now the old
values have been smashed.
For the pieces of code that do need to run in a signal handler,
we introduced onM_signalok, which is really just onM
except that the _signalok is meant to convey that the caller
asserts that scalarg and ptrarg will be restored to their old
values after the call (instead of the usual behavior, zeroing them).
Scalararg and ptrarg are also untyped and therefore error-prone.
Go code can always pass a closure instead of using scalararg
and ptrarg; they were only really necessary for C code.
And there's no more C code.
For all these reasons, delete scalararg and ptrarg, converting
the few remaining references to use closures.
Once those are gone, there is no need for a distinction between
onM and onM_signalok, so replace both with a single function
equivalent to the current onM_signalok (that is, it can be called
on any of the curg, g0, and gsignal stacks).
The name onM and the phrase 'm stack' are misnomers,
because on most system an M has two system stacks:
the main thread stack and the signal handling stack.
Correct the misnomer by naming the replacement function systemstack.
Fix a few references to "M stack" in code.
The main motivation for this change is to eliminate scalararg/ptrarg.
Rick and I have already seen them cause problems because
the calling sequence m.ptrarg[0] = p is a heap pointer assignment,
so it gets a write barrier. The write barrier also uses onM, so it has
all the same problems as if it were being invoked by a signal handler.
We worked around this by saving and restoring the old values
and by calling onM_signalok, but there's no point in keeping this nice
home for bugs around any longer.
This CL also changes funcline to return the file name as a result
instead of filling in a passed-in *string. (The *string signature is
left over from when the code was written in and called from C.)
That's arguably an unrelated change, except that once I had done
the ptrarg/scalararg/onM cleanup I started getting false positives
about the *string argument escaping (not allowed in package runtime).
The compiler is wrong, but the easiest fix is to write the code like
Go code instead of like C code. I am a bit worried that the compiler
is wrong because of some use of uninitialized memory in the escape
analysis. If that's the reason, it will go away when we convert the
compiler to Go. (And if not, we'll debug it the next time.)

Gentraceback may grow the stack.
One of the gentraceback wrappers may grow the stack.
One of the gentraceback callback calls may grow the stack.
Various stack pointers are stored in various stack locations
as type uintptr during the execution of these calls.
If the stack does grow, these stack pointers will not be
updated and will start trying to decode stack memory that
is no longer valid.
It may be possible to change the type of the stack pointer
variables to be unsafe.Pointer, but that's pretty subtle and
may still have problems, even if we catch every last one.
An easier, more obviously correct fix is to require that
gentraceback of the currently running goroutine must run
on the g0 stack, not on the goroutine's own stack.
Not doing this causes faults when you set
StackFromSystem = 1
StackFaultOnFree = 1
The new check in gentraceback will catch future lapses.
The more general problem is calling getcallersp but then
calling a function that might relocate the stack, which would
invalidate the result of getcallersp. Add note to stubs.go
declaration of getcallersp explaining the problem, and
check all existing calls to getcallersp. Most needed fixes.
This affects Callers, Stack, and nearly all the runtime
profiling routines. It does not affect stack copying directly
nor garbage collection.

Originally traceback was only used for printing the stack
when an unexpected signal came in. In that case, the
initial PC is taken from the signal and should be used
unaltered. For the callers, the PC is the return address,
which might be on the line after the call; we subtract 1
to get to the CALL instruction.
Traceback is now used for a variety of things, and for
almost all of those the initial PC is a return address,
whether from getcallerpc, or gp->sched.pc, or gp->syscallpc.
In those cases, we need to subtract 1 from this initial PC,
but the traceback code had a hard rule "never subtract 1
from the initial PC", left over from the signal handling days.
Change gentraceback to take a flag that specifies whether
we are tracing a trap.
Change traceback to default to "starting with a return PC",
which is the overwhelmingly common case.
Add tracebacktrap, like traceback but starting with a trap PC.
Use tracebacktrap in signal handlers.

The current Windows build failure happens because by
default runtime frames are excluded from stack traces.
Apparently the Windows breakpoint path dies with an
ordinary panic, while the Unix path dies with a throw.
Breakpoint is a strange function and I don't mind that it's
a little different on the two operating systems.
The panic squelches runtime frames but the throw shows them,
because throw is considered something that shouldn't have
happened at all, so as much detail as possible is wanted.
The runtime exclusion is meant to prevents printing too much noise
about internal runtime details. But exported functions are
not internal details, so show exported functions.
If the program dies because you called runtime.Breakpoint,
it's okay to see that frame.
This makes the Breakpoint test show Breakpoint in the
stack trace no matter how it is handled.
Should fix Windows build.
Tested on Unix by changing Breakpoint to fault instead
of doing a breakpoint.

This makes the GC and the stack copying agree about how
to interpret the defer structures. Previously, only the stack
copying treated them precisely.
This removes an untyped memory allocation and fixes
at least three copystack bugs.
To make sure the GC can find the deferred argument
frame until it has been copied, keep a Defer on the defer list
during its execution.
In addition to making it possible to remove the untyped
memory allocation, keeping the Defer on the list fixes
two races between copystack and execution of defers
(in both gopanic and Goexit). The problem is that once
the defer has been taken off the list, a stack copy that
happens before the deferred arguments have been copied
back to the stack will not update the arguments correctly.
The new tests TestDeferPtrsPanic and TestDeferPtrsGoexit
(variations on the existing TestDeferPtrs) pass now but
failed before this CL.
In addition to those fixes, keeping the Defer on the list
helps correct a dangling pointer error during copystack.
The traceback routines walk the Defer chain to provide
information about where a panic may resume execution.
When the executing Defer was not on the Defer chain
but instead linked from the Panic chain, the traceback
had to walk the Panic chain too. But Panic structs are
on the stack and being updated by copystack.
Traceback's use of the Panic chain while copystack is
updating those structs means that it can follow an
updated pointer and find itself reading from the new stack.
The new stack is usually all zeros, so it sees an incorrect
early end to the chain. The new TestPanicUseStack makes
this happen at tip and dies when adjustdefers finds an
unexpected argp. The new StackCopyPoison mode
causes an earlier bad dereference instead.
By keeping the Defer on the list, traceback can avoid
walking the Panic chain at all, making it okay for copystack
to update the Panics.
We'd have the same problem for any Defers on the stack.
There was only one: gopanic's dabort. Since we are not
taking the executing Defer off the chain, we can use it
to do what dabort was doing, and then there are no
Defers on the stack ever, so it is okay for traceback to use
the Defer chain even while copystack is executing:
copystack cannot modify the Defer chain.

The goal here is to commit fully to having precise information
about stack frames. If we need information we don't have,
crash instead of assuming we should scan conservatively.
Since the stack copying assumes fully precise information,
any crashes during garbage collection that are introduced by
this CL are crashes that could have happened during stack
copying instead. Those are harder to find because stacks are
copied much less often than the garbage collector is invoked.
In service of that goal, remove ARGSIZE macros from
asm_*.s, change switchtoM to have no arguments
(it doesn't have any live arguments), and add
args and locals information to some frames that
can call back into Go.

This CL contains compiler+runtime changes that detect C code
running on Go (not g0, not gsignal) stacks, and it contains
corrections for what it detected.
The detection works by changing the C prologue to use a different
stack guard word in the G than Go prologue does. On the g0 and
gsignal stacks, that stack guard word is set to the usual
stack guard value. But on ordinary Go stacks, that stack
guard word is set to ^0, which will make any stack split
check fail. The C prologue then calls morestackc instead
of morestack, and morestackc aborts the program with
a message about running C code on a Go stack.
This check catches all C code running on the Go stack
except NOSPLIT code. The NOSPLIT code is allowed,
so the check is complete. Since it is a dynamic check,
the code must execute to be caught. But unlike the static
checks we've been using in cmd/ld, the dynamic check
works with function pointers and other indirect calls.
For example it caught sigpanic being pushed onto Go
stacks in the signal handlers.
