Josh Bleecher Snyder 54789eff38 cmd/internal/obj/arm64: make function prologue more predictable
Static branch prediction guesses that forward branches aren't taken.
Since stacks are rarely grown, make the forward branch mean grow.

While we're here, remove the debug-only instruction
saving the frame size in the temp register.

Sample disassembly for

func f() {
	_ = [128]byte{}
}

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.
