Ian Lance Taylor 0c1f0549b8 runtime, runtime/cgo: support using msan on cgo code
The memory sanitizer (msan) is a nice compiler feature that can
dynamically check for memory errors in C code.  It's not useful for Go
code, since Go is memory safe.  But it is useful to be able to use the
memory sanitizer on C code that is linked into a Go program via cgo.
Without this change it does not work, as msan considers memory passed
from Go to C as uninitialized.

To make this work, change the runtime to call the C mmap function when
using cgo.  When using msan the mmap call will be intercepted and marked
as returning initialized memory.

Work around what appears to be an msan bug by calling malloc before we
call mmap.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
