For historical reasons, it's still commonplace to iterate over the
slice returned by runtime.Callers and call FuncForPC on each PC. This
is broken in gccgo and somewhat broken in gc and will become more
broken in gc with mid-stack inlining.
In Go 1.7, we introduced runtime.CallersFrames to deal with these
problems, but didn't strongly direct people toward using it. Reword
the documentation on runtime.Callers to more strongly encourage people
to use CallersFrames and explicitly discourage them from iterating
over the PCs or using FuncForPC on the results.

Currently almost every function that deals with a *_func has to first
look up the *moduledata for the module containing the function's entry
point. This means we almost always do at least two identical module
lookups whenever we deal with a *_func (one to get the *_func and
another to get something from its module data) and sometimes several
more.
Fix this by making findfunc return a new funcInfo type that embeds
*_func, but also includes the *moduledata, and making all of the
functions that currently take a *_func instead take a funcInfo and use
the already-found *moduledata.
This transformation is trivial for the most part, since the *_func
type is usually inferred. The annoying part is that we can no longer
use nil to indicate failure, so this introduces a funcInfo.valid()
method and replaces nil checks with calls to valid.

With the hybrid barrier in place, we can now disable stack rescanning
by default. This commit adds a "gcrescanstacks" GODEBUG variable that
is off by default but can be set to re-enable STW stack rescanning.
The plan is to leave this off but available in Go 1.8 for debugging
and as a fallback.
With this change, worst-case mark termination time at GOMAXPROCS=12
*not* including time spent stopping the world (which is still
unbounded) is reliably under 100 µs, with a 95%ile around 50 µs in
every benchmark I tried (the go1 benchmarks, the x/benchmarks garbage
benchmark, and the gcbench activegs and rpc benchmarks). Including
time spent stopping the world usually adds about 20 µs to total STW
time at GOMAXPROCS=12, but I've seen it add around 150 µs in these
benchmarks when a goroutine takes time to reach a safe point (see
issue #10958) or when stopping the world races with goroutine
switches. At GOMAXPROCS=1, where this isn't an issue, worst case STW
is typically 30 µs.
The go-gcbench activegs benchmark is designed to stress large numbers
of dirty stacks. This commit reduces 95%ile STW time for 500k dirty
stacks by nearly three orders of magnitude, from 150ms to 195µs.
This has little effect on the throughput of the go1 benchmarks or the
x/benchmarks benchmarks.

If you set GODEBUG=cgocheck=2 the runtime package will use the write

reliably detect all cases (that do not import the unsafe package) in

optional because it turns on the write barrier at all times, which is

write barrier at the next write barrier of the same word.
If a bug can be detected in this mode it is typically easy to

word has missed a write barrier.
GODEBUG=wbshadow=2 adds a check of the write barrier
shadow copy during garbage collection. Bugs detected at
garbage collection can be difficult to understand, because

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.)
