In order to generate accurate tracebacks, the runtime needs to know the
inlined call stack for a given PC. This creates two tables per function
for this purpose. The first table is the inlining tree (stored in the
function's funcdata), which has a node containing the file, line, and
function name for every inlined call. The second table is a PC-value
table that maps each PC to a node in the inlining tree (or -1 if the PC
is not the result of inlining).
To give the appearance that inlining hasn't happened, the runtime also
needs the original source position information of inlined AST nodes.
Previously the compiler plastered over the line numbers of inlined AST
nodes with the line number of the call. This meant that the PC-line
table mapped each PC to line number of the outermost call in its inlined
call stack, with no way to access the innermost line number.
Now the compiler retains line numbers of inlined AST nodes and writes
the innermost source position information to the PC-line and PC-file
tables. Some tools and tests expect to see outermost line numbers, so we
provide the OutermostLine function for displaying line info.
To keep track of the inlined call stack for an AST node, we extend the
src.PosBase type with an index into a global inlining tree. Every time
the compiler inlines a call, it creates a node in the global inlining
tree for the call, and writes its index to the PosBase of every inlined
AST node. The parent of this node is the inlining tree index of the
call. -1 signifies no parent.
For each function, the compiler creates a local inlining tree and a
PC-value table mapping each PC to an index in the local tree. These are
written to an object file, which is read by the linker. The linker
re-encodes these tables compactly by deduplicating function names and
file names.
This change increases the size of binaries by 4-5%. For example, this is
how the go1 benchmark binary is impacted by this change:

The comments in cmd/internal/obj/funcdata.go are identical to the
comments in runtime/funcdata.h, but the majority of the definitions
they refer to don't apply to Go sources and have been stripped out of
funcdata.go.
Remove these stale comments from funcdata.go and clean up the
references to other copies of the PCDATA and FUNCDATA indexes.

This is a subset of https://golang.org/cl/20022 with only the copyright
header lines, so the next CL will be smaller and more reviewable.
Go policy has been single space after periods in comments for some time.
The copyright header template at:
https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html#copyright
also uses a single space.
Make them all consistent.

The argsize PCDATA was specifying the number of
bytes passed to a function call, so that if the function
did not specify its argument count, the garbage collector
could use the call site information to scan those bytes
conservatively. We don't do that anymore, so stop
generating the information.

The goal here is to allow assembly functions to appear in the middle
of a Go stack (having called other code) and still record enough information
about their pointers so that stack copying and garbage collection can handle
them precisely. Today, these frames are handled only conservatively.
If you write
func myfunc(x *float64) (y *int)
(with no body, an 'extern' declaration), then the Go compiler now emits
a liveness bitmap for use from the assembly definition of myfunc.
The bitmap symbol is myfunc.args_stackmap and it contains two bitmaps.
The first bitmap, in effect at function entry, marks all inputs as live.
The second bitmap, not in effect at function entry, marks the outputs
live as well.
In funcdata.h, define new assembly macros:
GO_ARGS opts in to using the Go compiler-generated liveness bitmap
for the current function.
GO_RESULTS_INITIALIZED indicates that the results have been initialized
and need to be kept live for the remainder of the function; it causes a
switch to the second generated bitmap for the assembly code that follows.
NO_LOCAL_POINTERS indicates that there are no pointers in the
local variables being stored in the function's stack frame.
