Remove the old locking code written in C.
Add a shell script mkrsysinfo.sh to generate the runtime_sysinfo.go
file, so that we can get Go copies of the system time structures and
other types.
Tweak the compiler so that when compiling the runtime package the
address operator does not cause local variables to escape. When the gc
compiler compiles the runtime, an escaping local variable is treated as
an error. We should implement that, instead of this change, when escape
analysis is turned on.
Tweak the compiler so that the generated C header does not include names
that start with an underscore followed by a non-upper-case letter,
except for the special cases of _defer and _panic. Otherwise we
translate C types to Go in runtime_sysinfo.go and then generate those Go
types back as C types in runtime.inc, which is useless and painful for
the C code.
Change entersyscall and friends to take a dummy argument, as the gc
versions do, to simplify calls from the shared code.

This change removes the gccgo-specific hashmap code and replaces it with
the hashmap code from the Go 1.7 runtime. The Go 1.7 hashmap code is
more efficient, does a better job on details like when to update a key,
and provides some support against denial-of-service attacks.
The compiler is changed to call the new hashmap functions instead of the
old ones.
The compiler now tracks which types are reflexive and which require
updating when used as a map key, and records the information in map type
descriptors.
Map_index_expression is simplified. The special case for a map index on
the right hand side of a tuple expression has been unnecessary for some
time, and is removed. The support for specially marking a map index as
an lvalue is removed, in favor of lowering an assignment to a map index
into a function call. The long-obsolete support for a map index of a
pointer to a map is removed.
The __go_new_map_big function (known to the compiler as
Runtime::MAKEMAPBIG) is no longer needed, as the new runtime.makemap
function takes an int64 hint argument.
The old map descriptor type and supporting expression is removed.
The compiler was still supporting the long-obsolete syntax `m[k] = 0,
false` to delete a value from a map. That is now removed, requiring a
change to one of the gccgo-specific tests.
The builtin len function applied to a map or channel p is now compiled
as `p == nil ? 0 : *(*int)(p)`. The __go_chan_len function (known to
the compiler as Runtime::CHAN_LEN) is removed.
Support for a shared zero value for maps to large value types is
introduced, along the lines of the gc compiler. The zero value is
handled as a common variable.
The hash function is changed to take a seed argument, changing the
runtime hash functions and the compiler-generated hash functions.
Unlike the gc compiler, both the hash and equal functions continue to
take the type length.
Types that can not be compared now store nil for the hash and equal
functions, rather than pointing to functions that throw. Interface hash
and comparison functions now check explicitly for nil. This matches the
gc compiler and permits a simple implementation for ismapkey.
The compiler is changed to permit marking struct and array types as
incomparable, meaning that they have no hash or equal function. We use
this for thunk types, removing the existing special code to avoid
generating hash/equal functions for them.
The C runtime code adds memclr, memequal, and memmove functions.
The hashmap code uses go:linkname comments to make the functions
visible, as otherwise the compiler would discard them.
The hashmap code comments out the unused reference to the address of the
first parameter in the race code, as otherwise the compiler thinks that
the parameter escapes and copies it onto the heap. This is probably not
needed when we enable escape analysis.
Several runtime map tests that ere previously skipped for gccgo are now
run.
The Go runtime picks up type kind information and stubs. The type kind
information causes the generated runtime header file to define some
constants, including `empty`, and the C code is adjusted accordingly.
A Go-callable version of runtime.throw, that takes a Go string, is
added to be called from the hashmap code.

Some systems, such as ia64 and PPC, require that a ucontext_t pointer
passed to getcontext and friends be aligned to a 16-byte boundary.
Currently the ucontext_t fields in the g structure are defined in Go,
and Go has no way to ensure a 16-byte alignment for a struct field.
The fields are currently represented by an array of unsafe.Pointer.
Enforce the alignment by making the array larger, and picking an offset
into the array that is 16-byte aligned.

Use the new -fgo-c-header option to build a header file for the Go
runtime code in libgo/go/runtime, and use the new header file in the C
runtime code in libgo/runtime. This will ensure that the Go code and C
code share the same data structures as we convert the runtime from C to
Go.
The new file libgo/go/runtime/runtime2.go is copied from the Go 1.7
release, and then edited to remove unnecessary data structures and
modify others for use with libgo.
The new file libgo/go/runtime/mcache.go is an initial version of the
same files in the Go 1.7 release, and will be replaced by the Go 1.7
file when we convert to the new memory allocator.
The new file libgo/go/runtime/type.go describes the gccgo version of the
reflection data structures, and replaces the Go 1.7 runtime file which
describes the gc version of those structures.
Using the new header file means changing a number of struct fields to
use Go naming conventions (that is, no underscores) and to rename
constants to have a leading underscore so that they are not exported
from the Go package. These names were updated in the C code.
The C code was also changed to drop the thread-local variable m, as was
done some time ago in the gc sources. Now the m field is always
accessed using g->m, where g is the single remaining thread-local
variable. This in turn required some adjustments to set g->m correctly
in all cases.
Also pass the new -fgo-compiling-runtime option when compiling the
runtime package, although that option doesn't do anything yet.

When not using split stacks, libgo allocate large stacks for each
goroutine. On a 64-bit system, libgo allocates a maximum of 128G for
the Go heap, and allocates 4M for each stack. When the stacks are
allocated from the Go heap, the result is that a program can only create
32K goroutines, which is not enough for an active Go server. This patch
changes libgo to allocate the stacks using mmap directly, rather than
allocating them out of the Go heap. This change is only done for 64-bit
systems when not using split stacks. When using split stacks, the
stacks are allocated using mmap directly anyhow. On a 32-bit system,
there is no maximum size for the Go heap, or, rather, the maximum size
is the available address space anyhow.

Fix an unusual C to Go callback case. Newly created C threads
call into Go code, forcing the Go code to allocate new M and G
structures. While executing Go code, the stack is split. The
Go code then returns. Returning from a Go callback is treated
as entering a system call, so the G gcstack field is set to
point to the Go stack. In this case, though, we were called
from a newly created C thread, so we drop the extra M and G
structures. The C thread then exits.
Then a new C thread calls into Go code, reusing the previously
created M and G. The Go code requires a larger stack frame,
causing the old stack segment to be unmapped and a new stack
segment allocated. At this point the gcstack field is
pointing to the old stack segment.
Then a garbage collection occurs. The garbage collector sees
that the gcstack field is not nil, so it scans it as the first
stack segment. Unfortunately it points to memory that was
unmapped. So the program crashes.
The fix is simple: when handling extra G structures created
for callbacks from new C threads, clear the gcstack field.

If the compiler inlines this function into kickoff, it may reuse
the TLS block address to load g. However, this is not necessarily
correct, as the call to g->entry in kickoff may cause the TLS
address to change. If the wrong value is loaded for g->status in
runtime_goexit, it may cause a runtime panic.
By marking the function as noinline we prevent the compiler from
reusing the TLS address.

This patch fixes a rare but serious bug. The Go garbage
collector only examines Go stacks. When Go code calls a
function that is not written in Go, it first calls
syscall.Entersyscall. Entersyscall records the position of
the Go stack pointer and saves a copy of all the registers.
If the garbage collector runs while the thread is executing
the non-Go code, the garbage collector fetches the stack
pointer and registers from the saved location.
Entersyscall saves the registers using the getcontext
function. Unfortunately I didn't consider the possibility
that Entersyscall might itself change a register before
calling getcontext. This only matters for callee-saved
registers, as caller-saved registers would be visible on the
saved stack. And it only matters if Entersyscall is compiled
to save and modify a callee-saved register before it calls
getcontext. And it only matters if a garbage collection
occurs while the non-Go code is executing. And it only
matters if the only copy of a valid Go pointer happens to be
in the callee-saved register when Entersyscall is called.
When all those conditions are true, the Go pointer might get
collected incorrectly, leading to memory corruption.
This patch tries to avoid the problem by splitting
Entersyscall into two functions. The first is a simple
function that just calls getcontext and then calls the rest of
Entersyscall. This should fix the problem, provided the
simple Entersyscall function does not itself modify any
callee-saved registers before calling getcontext. That seems
to be true on the systems I checked. But since the argument
to getcontext is an offset from a TLS variable, it won't be
true on a system which needs to save callee-saved registers in
order to get the address of a TLS variable. I don't know why
any system would work that way, but I don't know how to rule
it out. I think that on any such system this will have to be
implemented in assembler. I can't put the ucontext_t
structure on the stack, because this function can not split
stacks, and the ucontext_t structure is large enough that it
could cause a stack overflow.
