Currently, deferreturn runs deferred functions by backing up its return PC to the deferreturn call, and then effectively tail-calling the deferred function (via jmpdefer). The effect of this is that the deferred function appears to be called directly from the deferee, and when it returns, the deferee calls deferreturn again so it can run the next deferred function if necessary. This unusual flow control leads to a large number of special cases and complications all over the tool chain. This used to be necessary because deferreturn copied the deferred function's argument frame directly into its caller's frame and then had to invoke that call as if it had been called from its caller's frame so it could access it arguments. But now that we've simplified defer processing so the runtime only deals with argument-less closures, this approach is no longer necessary. This CL simplifies all of this by making deferreturn simply call deferred functions in a loop. This eliminates the need for jmpdefer, so we can delete a bunch of per-architecture assembly code. This eliminates several special cases on Wasm, since it couldn't support these calling shenanigans directly and thus had to simulate the loop a different way. Now Wasm can largely work the way the other platforms do. This eliminates the per-architecture Ginsnopdefer operation. On PPC64, this was necessary to reload the TOC pointer after the tail call (since TOC pointers in general make tail calls impossible). The tail call is gone, and in the case where we do force a jump to the deferreturn call when recovering from an open-coded defer, we go through gogo (via runtime.recovery), which handles the TOC. On other platforms, we needed a NOP so traceback didn't get confused by seeing the return to the CALL instruction, rather than the usual return to the instruction following the CALL instruction. Now we don't inject a return to the CALL instruction at all, so this NOP is also unnecessary. The one potential effect of this is that deferreturn could now appear in stack traces from deferred functions. However, this could already happen from open-coded defers, so we've long since marked deferreturn as a "wrapper" so it gets elided not only from printed stack traces, but from runtime.Callers*.
