Not a language change.
This is simply documenting the status quo which permits
builtin function names to be parenthesized in calls; e.g.,
both
len(s)
and
(((len)))(s)
are accepted by all compilers and go/types.
Changed the grammar by merging the details of BuiltinCall
with ordinary Calls. Also renamed the Call production to
Arguments which more clearly identifies that part of the
grammar and also matches better with its counterpart on
the declaration side (Parameters).
The fact that the first argument can be a type (for builtins)
or cannot be a type (for regular function calls) is expressed
in the prose, no need to make the grammar more complicated.
Fixes#9001.

The test just doubled a certain number of times
and then gave up. On a mostly fast but occasionally
slow machine this may never make the test run
long enough to see the linear growth.
Change test to keep doubling until the first round
takes at least a full second, to reduce the effect of
occasional scheduling or other jitter.
The failure we saw had a time for the first round
of around 100ms.
Note that this test still passes once it sees a linear
effect, even with a very small total time.
The timeout here only applies to how long the execution
must be to support a reported failure.

The ftab ends with a half functab record consisting only of
the 'entry' field followed by a uint32 giving the offset of
the next table. Previously, symtabinit assumed it could read
this uint32 as a uintptr. Since this is unsafe on big endian,
explicitly read the offset as a uint32.

Before this CL, if the system resolver does a very slow DNS
lookup for a particular host, all subsequent requests for that
host will hang waiting for that lookup to complete. That is
more or less expected when Dial is called with no deadline.
When Dial has a deadline, though, we can accumulate a large
number of goroutines waiting for that slow DNS lookup. Try to
avoid this problem by restarting the DNS lookup when it is
redone after a deadline is passed.
This CL also avoids creating an extra goroutine purely to
handle the deadline.
No test because we would have to simulate a slow DNS lookup
followed by a fast DNS lookup.

Routines and logic to preform a concurrent stack scan of go-routines.
This CL excersizes most of the functionality needed. The
major exception being that it does not scan running goroutines.
After doing the scans it relies on a STW to finish the GC, including
rescanning the stacks. It is intended to achieve correctness,

In theory both of these lines encode the same three fields:
a,,c
a,"",c
However, Postgres defines that when importing CSV, the unquoted
version is treated as NULL (missing), while the quoted version is
treated as a string value (empty string). If the middle field is supposed to
be an integer value, the first line can be imported (NULL is okay), but
the second line cannot (empty string is not).
Postgres's import command (COPY FROM) has an option to force
the unquoted empty to be interpreted as a string but it does not
have an option to force the quoted empty to be interpreted as a NULL.
From http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-copy.html:
The CSV format has no standard way to distinguish a NULL
value from an empty string. PostgreSQL's COPY handles this
by quoting. A NULL is output as the NULL parameter string
and is not quoted, while a non-NULL value matching the NULL
parameter string is quoted. For example, with the default
settings, a NULL is written as an unquoted empty string,
while an empty string data value is written with double
quotes (""). Reading values follows similar rules. You can
use FORCE_NOT_NULL to prevent NULL input comparisons for
specific columns.
Therefore printing the unquoted empty is more flexible for
imports into Postgres than printing the quoted empty.
In addition to making the output more useful with Postgres, not
quoting empty strings makes the output smaller and easier to read.
It also matches the behavior of Microsoft Excel and Google Drive.
Since we are here and making concessions for Postgres, handle this
case too (again quoting the Postgres docs):
Because backslash is not a special character in the CSV
format, \., the end-of-data marker, could also appear as a
data value. To avoid any misinterpretation, a \. data value
appearing as a lone entry on a line is automatically quoted
on output, and on input, if quoted, is not interpreted as
the end-of-data marker. If you are loading a file created by
another application that has a single unquoted column and
might have a value of \., you might need to quote that value
in the input file.

Pool memory was only being released during the first GC after the first Put.
Put assumes that p.local != nil means p is on the allPools list.
poolCleanup (called during each GC) removed each pool from allPools
but did not clear p.local, so each pool was cleared by exactly one GC
and then never cleared again.
This bug was introduced late in the Go 1.3 release cycle.

Trying to work around clang's dodgy support for .arch by reverting to the external assembler didn't work out so well. Minux had a much better solution to encode the instructions we need as .word directives which avoids .arch altogether.

Partial undo, changes to ldelf.c retained.
Some platforms are still not working even with the integrated assembler disabled, will have to find another solution.
««« original CL description
cmd/cgo: disable clang's integrated assembler
Fixes#8348.
Clang's internal assembler (introduced by default in clang 3.4) understands the .arch directive, but doesn't change the default value of -march. This causes the build to fail when we use BLX (armv5 and above) when clang is compiled for the default armv4t architecture (which appears to be the default on all the distros I've used).
This is probably a clang bug, so work around it for the time being by disabling the integrated assembler when compiling the cgo assembly shim.
This CL also includes a small change to ldelf.c which was required as clang 3.4 and above generate more weird symtab entries.
