The SudoG used to sit on the stack, so it was cheap to allocated
and didn't need to be cleaned up when finished.
For the conversion to Go, we had to move sudog off the stack
for a few reasons, so we added a cache of recently used sudogs
to keep allocation cheap. But we didn't add any of the necessary
cleanup before adding a SudoG to the new cache, and so the cached
SudoGs had stale pointers inside them that have caused all sorts
of awful, hard to debug problems.
CL 155760043 made sure SudoG.elem is cleaned up.
CL 150520043 made sure SudoG.selectdone is cleaned up.
This CL makes sure SudoG.next, SudoG.prev, and SudoG.waitlink
are cleaned up. I should have done this when I did the other two
fields; instead I wasted a week tracking down a leak they caused.
A dangling SudoG.waitlink can point into a sudogcache list that
has been "forgotten" in order to let the GC collect it, but that
dangling .waitlink keeps the list from being collected.
And then the list holding the SudoG with the dangling waitlink
can find itself in the same situation, and so on. We end up
with lists of lists of unusable SudoGs that are still linked into
the object graph and never collected (given the right mix of
non-trivial selects and non-channel synchronization).

Language clarification.
The existing rules for selector expressions imply
automatic dereferencing of pointers to struct fields.
They also implied automatic dereferencing of selectors
denoting methods. In almost all cases, such automatic
dereferencing does indeed take place for methods but the
reason is not the selector rules but the fact that method
sets include both methods with T and *T receivers; so for
a *T actual receiver, a method expecting a formal T
receiver, also accepts a *T (and the invocation or method
value expression is the reason for the auto-derefering).
However, the rules as stated so far implied that even in
case of a variable p of named pointer type P, a selector
expression p.f would always be shorthand for (*p).f. This
is true for field selectors f, but cannot be true for
method selectors since a named pointer type always has an
empty method set.
Named pointer types may never appear as anonymous field
types (and method receivers, for that matter), so this
only applies to variables declared of a named pointer
type. This is exceedingly rare and perhaps shouldn't be
permitted in the first place (but we cannot change that).
Amended the selector rules to make auto-deref of values
of named pointer types an exception to the general rules
and added corresponding examples with explanations.
Both gc and gccgo have a bug where they do auto-deref
pointers of named types in method selectors where they
should not:

Moving so that new Go 1.4 pprof can use it.
The old 'GNU objdump workalike' mode for 'go tool objdump'
is now gone, as are the tests for that mode. It was used only
by pre-Go 1.4 pprof. You can still specify an address range on
the command line; you just get the same output format as
you do when dumping the entire binary (without an address

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.

One failing case this removes is:
var bytes = []byte("hello, world")
var copy_bytes = bytes
We could handle this in the compiler, but it requires special
case for a variable that is initialized to the value of a
variable that is initialized to a string literal converted to
[]byte. This seems an unlikely case--it never occurs in the
standrd library--and it seems unnecessary to write the code to
handle it.
If we do want to support this case, one approach is
https://golang.org/cl/171840043.
The other failing cases are of the form
var bx bool
var copy_bx = bx
The compiler used to initialize copy_bx to false. However,
that led to issue 7665, since bx may be initialized in non-Go
code. The compiler no longer assumes that bx must be false,
so copy_bx can not be statically initialized.
We can fix these with https://golang.org/cl/169040043
if we also pass -complete to the compiler as part of this
test. This is OK but it's too late in the release cycle.
