There are some function pointers declared by 6c in
package runtime without initialization and then also
declared in package runtime/cgo with initialization,
so that if runtime/cgo is linked in, the function pointers
are non-nil, and otherwise they are nil. We depend on
this property for implementing non-essential cgo hooks
in package runtime.
The declarations in package runtime are 6c-compiled
and end up in .6 files. The declarations in package runtime/cgo
are gcc-compiled and end up in .o files. Since 6l links the .6
and .o files together, this all works.
However, when we switch to "external linking" mode,
6l will not see the .o files, and it would be up to the host linker
to resolve the two into a single initialized symbol.
Not all host linkers will do this (in particular OS X gcc will not).
To fix this, move the cgo declarations into 6c-compiled code,
so that they end up in .6 files, so that 6l gets them no matter what.

runtime: double-check that symbol table is sorted
If the symbol table is unsorted, the binary search in findfunc
will not find its func, which will make stack traces stop early.
When the garbage collector starts using the stack tracer,
that would be a serious problem.
The unsorted symbol addresses came from from two things:
1. The symbols in an ELF object are not necessarily sorted,
so sort them before adding them to the symbol list.
2. The __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx symbol is present in multiple
object files and was having its address adjusted multiple
times, producing an incorrect address in the symbol table.

This CL changes the encoding used for the Go symbol table,
stored in the binary and used at run time. It does not change
any of the semantics or structure: the bits are just packed
a little differently.
The comment at the top of runtime/symtab.c describes the new format.
Compared to the Go 1.0 format, the main changes are:
* Store symbol addresses as full-pointer-sized host-endian values.
(For 6g, this means addresses are 64-bit little-endian.)
* Store other values (frame sizes and so on) varint-encoded.
The second change more than compensates for the first:
for the godoc binary on OS X/amd64, the new symbol table
is 8% smaller than the old symbol table (1,425,668 down from 1,546,276).
This is a required step for allowing the host linker (gcc) to write
the final Go binary, since it will have to fill in the symbol address slots
(so the slots must be host-endian) and on 64-bit systems it may
choose addresses above 4 GB.

The Plan 9 symbol table format defines big-endian symbol values
for portability, but we want to be able to generate an ELF object file
and let the host linker link it, as part of the solution to issue 4069.
The symbol table itself, since it is loaded into memory at run time,
must be filled in by the final host linker, using relocation directives
to set the symbol values. On a little-endian machine, the linker will
only fill in little-endian values during relocation, so we are forced
to use little-endian symbol values.
To preserve most of the original portability of the symbol table
format, we make the table itself say whether it uses big- or
little-endian values. If the table begins with the magic sequence
fe ff ff ff 00 00
then the actual table begins after those six bytes and contains
little-endian symbol values. Otherwise, the table is in the original
format and contains big-endian symbol values. The magic sequence
looks like an "end of table" entry (the fifth byte is zero), so legacy
readers will see a little-endian table as an empty table.
All the gc architectures are little-endian today, so the practical
effect of this CL is to make all the generated tables little-endian,
but if a big-endian system comes along, ld will not generate
the magic sequence, and the various readers will fall back to the
original big-endian interpretation.

Details:
- This CL is the conceptual skeleton of code found in CL 6114046
- The garbage collector uses struct Obj to specify memory blocks
- scanblock() is putting found memory blocks into an intermediate buffer
(xbuf) before adding/flushing them to the main work buffer (wbuf)
- The main loop in scanblock() is replaced with a skeleton code that
in the future will be able to recognize the type of objects and
thus will improve the garbage collector's precision.
For now, all objects are simply sequences of pointers so
the precision of the garbage collector remains unchanged.
- The code plugs .gcdata and .gcbss sections into the garbage collector.
scanblock() in this CL is unable to make any use of this.

Currently race detector runtime just disables race detection in the finalizer goroutine.
It has false positives when a finalizer writes to shared memory -- the race with finalizer is reported in a normal goroutine that accesses the same memory.
After this change I am going to synchronize the finalizer goroutine with the rest of the world in racefingo(). This is closer to what happens in reality and so
does not have false positives.
And also add README file with instructions how to build the runtime.

In order to add these, we need to be able to find references
to such types that already exist in the binary. To do that, introduce
a new linker section holding a list of the types corresponding to
arrays, chans, maps, and slices.
To offset the storage cost of this list, and to simplify the code,
remove the interface{} header from the representation of a
runtime type. It was used in early versions of the code but was
made obsolete by the kind field: a switch on kind is more efficient
than a type switch.
In the godoc binary, removing the interface{} header cuts two
words from each of about 10,000 types. Adding back the list of pointers
to array, chan, map, and slice types reintroduces one word for
each of about 500 types. On a 64-bit machine, then, this CL *removes*
a net 156 kB of read-only data from the binary.
This CL does not include the needed support for precise garbage
collection. I have created issue 4375 to track that.
This CL also does not set the 'algorithm' - specifically the equality
and copy functions - for a new array correctly, so I have unexported
ArrayOf for now. That is also part of issue 4375.

Currently race detector runtime maps shadow memory eagerly at process startup.
It works poorly on Windows, because Windows requires reservation in swap file
(especially problematic if several Go program runs at the same, each consuming GBs
of memory).
With this change race detector maps shadow memory lazily, so Go runtime must notify
about all new heap memory.

This CL makes the runtime understand that the type of
the len or cap of a map, slice, or string is 'int', not 'int32',
and it is also careful to distinguish between function arguments
and results of type 'int' vs type 'int32'.
In the runtime, the new typedefs 'intgo' and 'uintgo' refer
to Go int and uint. The C types int and uint continue to be
unavailable (cause intentional compile errors).
This CL does not change the meaning of int, but it should make
the eventual change of the meaning of int on amd64 a bit
smoother.

Signal handlers are global resources but many language
environments (Go, C++ at Google, etc) assume they have sole
ownership of a particular handler. Signal handlers in
mixed-language applications must therefore be robust against
unexpected delivery of certain signals, such as SIGPROF.
The default Go signal handler runtime·sigtramp assumes that it
will never be called on a non-Go thread, but this assumption
is violated by when linking in C++ code that spawns threads.
Specifically, the handler asserts the thread has an associated
"m" (Go scheduler).
This CL is a very simple workaround: discard SIGPROF delivered to non-Go threads. runtime.badsignal(int32) now receives the signal number; if it returns without panicking (e.g. sig==SIGPROF) the signal is discarded.
I don't think there is any really satisfactory solution to the
problem of signal-based profiling in a mixed-language
application. It's not only the issue of handler clobbering,
but also that a C++ SIGPROF handler called in a Go thread
can't unwind the Go stack (and vice versa). The best we can
hope for is not crashing.
Note:
- I've ported this to all POSIX platforms, except ARM-linux which already ignores unexpected signals on m-less threads.
- I've avoided tail-calling runtime.badsignal because AFAICT the 6a/6l don't support it.
- I've avoided hoisting 'push sig' (common to both function calls) because it makes the code harder to read.
- Fixed an (apparently incorrect?) docstring.

Since NUL usually terminates strings in underlying syscalls, allowing
it when converting string arguments is a security risk, especially
when dealing with filenames. For example, a program might reason that
filename like "/root/..\x00/" is a subdirectory or "/root/" and allow
access to it, while underlying syscall will treat "\x00" as an end of
that string and the actual filename will be "/root/..", which might
be unexpected. Returning EINVAL when string arguments have NUL in
them makes sure this attack vector is unusable.

When a cgo program calls setuid, setgid, etc., the GNU/Linux
pthread library sends signal SIGSETXID to each thread to tell
it to update its UID info. If Go is permitted to intercept
the default SIGSETXID signal handler, the program will hang.
This patch tells the runtime package to not try to intercept
SIGSETXID on GNU/Linux. This will be odd if a Go program
wants to try to use that signal, but it means that cgo
programs that call setuid, etc., won't hang.
