Currently, we perform write barriers after performing pointer writes.
At the moment, it simply doesn't matter what order this happens in, as
long as they appear atomic to GC. But both the hybrid barrier and ROC
are going to require a pre-write write barrier.
For the hybrid barrier, this is important because the barrier needs to
observe both the current value of the slot and the value that will be
written to it. (Alternatively, the caller could do the write and pass
in the old value, but it seems easier and more useful to just swap the
order of the barrier and the write.)
For ROC, this is necessary because, if the pointer write is going to
make the pointer reachable to some goroutine that it currently is not
visible to, the garbage collector must take some special action before
that pointer becomes more broadly visible.
This commits swaps pointer writes around so the write barrier occurs
before the pointer write.
The main subtlety here is bulk memory writes. Currently, these copy to
the destination first and then use the pointer bitmap of the
destination to find the copied pointers and invoke the write barrier.
This is necessary because the source may not have a pointer bitmap. To
handle these, we pass both the source and the destination to the bulk
memory barrier, which uses the pointer bitmap of the destination, but
reads the pointer values from the source.
Updates #17503.

sync/atomic.StorePointer (which is implemented in
runtime/atomic_pointer.go) writes the pointer twice (through two
completely different code paths, no less). Fix it to only write once.

SwapPointer is declared as
func SwapPointer(addr *unsafe.Pointer, new unsafe.Pointer) (old unsafe.Pointer)
in sync/atomic, but defined in the runtime (where it's actually
implemented) as
func sync_atomic_SwapPointer(ptr unsafe.Pointer, new unsafe.Pointer) unsafe.Pointer
Make ptr a *unsafe.Pointer in the runtime definition to match the type
in sync/atomic.

atomic.Storep1 is not supposed to invoke a write barrier (that's what
atomicstorep is for), but currently does on s390x. This causes a panic
in runtime.mapzero when it tries to use atomic.Storep1 to store what's
actually a scalar.
Fix this by eliminating the write barrier from atomic.Storep1 on
s390x. Also add some documentation to atomicstorep to explain the
difference between these.
Fixes#15270.

This change breaks out most of the atomics functions in the runtime
into package runtime/internal/atomic. It adds some basic support
in the toolchain for runtime packages, and also modifies linux/arm
atomics to remove the dependency on the runtime's mutex. The mutexes
have been replaced with spinlocks.
all trybots are happy!
In addition to the trybots, I've tested on the darwin/arm64 builder,
on the darwin/arm builder, and on a ppc64le machine.

Add write barrier to atomic operations manipulating pointers.
In general an atomic write of a pointer word may indicate racy accesses,
so there is no strictly safe way to attempt to keep the shadow copy
in sync with the real one. Instead, mark the shadow copy as not used.
Redirect sync/atomic pointer routines back to the runtime ones,
so that there is only one copy of the write barrier and shadow logic.
In time we might consider doing this for most of the sync/atomic
functions, but for now only the pointer routines need that treatment.
Found with GODEBUG=wbshadow=1 mode.
Eventually that will run automatically, but right now
it still detects other missing write barriers.
