A direct interface is an interface whose data word contains the
actual data value, instead of a pointer to it. The gc toolchain
creates a direct interface if the value is pointer shaped, that
includes pointers (including unsafe.Pointer), functions, channels,
maps, and structs and arrays containing a single pointer-shaped
field. In gccgo, we only do this for pointers. This CL unifies
direct interface types with gc. This reduces allocations when
converting such types to interfaces.
Our method functions used to always take pointer receivers, to
make interface calls easy. Now for direct interface types, their
value methods will take value receivers. For a pointer to those
types, when converted to interface, the interface data contains
the pointer. For that interface to call a value method, it will
need a wrapper method that dereference the pointer and invokes
the value method. The wrapper method, instead of the actual one,
is put into the itable of the pointer type.
In the runtime, adjust funcPC for the new layout of interfaces of
functions.

Previously, each time we do an interface conversion for which the
method table is not known at compile time, we allocate a new
method table.
This CL ports the mechanism of itab caching from the gc runtime,
adapted to our itab representation and method finding mechanism.
With the cache, we reuse the same itab for the same (interface,
concrete) type pair. This reduces allocations in interface
conversions.
Unlike the gc runtime, we don't prepopulate the cache with
statically allocated itabs, as currently we don't have a way to
find them. This means we don't deduplicate run-time allocated
itabs with compile-time allocated ones. But that is not too bad
-- it is just a cache anyway.
As now itabs are never freed, it is also possible to drop the
write barrier for writing the first word of an interface header.
I'll leave this optimization for the future.

In the C calling convention, on AMD64, and probably a number of
other architectures, a 3-word struct argument is passed on stack.
This is less efficient than passing in three registers. Further,
this may affect the code generation in other part of the program,
even if the function is not actually called.
Slices are common in Go and append is a common slice operation,
which calls growslice in the growing path. To improve the code
generation, pass the slice header's three fields as separate
values, instead of a struct, to growslice.
The drawback is that this makes the runtime implementation
slightly diverges from the gc runtime.

internal/cpu, runtime, runtime/pprof: handle function descriptors
When using PPC64 ELF ABI v1 a function address is not a PC, but is the
address of a function descriptor. The first field in the function
descriptor is the actual PC (see
http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi.html#FUNC-DES).
The libbacktrace library knows about this, and libgo uses actual PC
values consistently except for the helper function funcPC that appears
in both runtime and runtime/pprof.
This patch fixes funcPC by recording, in the internal/cpu package,
whether function descriptors are being used. We have to check for
function descriptors using a C compiler check, because GCC can be
configured using --with-abi to select the ELF ABI to use.

In signal-triggered stack scan, if the signal is delivered at
certain bad time (e.g. in vdso, or in the middle of setcontext?),
the unwinder may not be able to unwind the whole stack, while it
still reports _URC_END_OF_STACK. So we cannot rely on _URC_END_OF_STACK
to tell if it successfully scanned the stack. Instead, we check
the last Go frame to see it actually reached the end of the stack.
For Go-created stack, this is runtime.kickoff. For C-created
stack, we need to record the outermost Go frame when it enters
the Go side.
Also we cannot unwind the stack if the signal is delivered in the
middle of runtime.gogo, halfway through a goroutine switch, where
the g and the stack don't match. Give up in this case as well.

If a panic happens in the runtime we turn that into a fatal error.
We use the caller's PC to determine if the panic call is inside
the runtime. getcallerpc returns the PC immediately after the
call instruction. If the call is the very last instruction of a
function, it may not find this PC belong to a runtime function,
giving false result. We need to back off the PC by 1 to the call
instruction.
The gc runtime doesn't do this because the gc compiler always
emit an instruction following a panic call, presumably an UNDEF
instruction which turns into an architecture-specific illegal
instruction. Our compiler doesn't do this.

Currently, we dropg (which clears gp.m) after we CAS the g status
to _Grunnable or _Gwaiting. Immediately after CASing the g status,
another thread may CAS it to _Gscan status and scan its stack.
With precise stack scan, it accesses gp.m in order to switch to g
and back (in doscanstackswitch). This races with dropg. If
doscanstackswitch reads gp.m, then dropg runs, when we restore
the m at the end of the scan it will set to a stale value. Worse,
if dropg runs after doscanstackswitch sets the new m, gp will be
running with a nil m.
To fix this, we do dropg before CAS g status to _Grunnable or
_Gwaiting. We can do this safely if we are CASing from _Grunning,
as we own the g when it is in _Grunning. There is one case where
we CAS from _Gsyscall to _Grunnable. It is not safe to dropg when
it is in _Gsyscall, as precise stack scan needs to read gp.m in
order to signal the m. So we need to introduce a transient state,
_Gexitingsyscall, between _Gsyscall and _Grunnable, where the GC
should not scan its stack.
In is a little unfortunate that we have to add another g status.
We could reuse an existing one (e.g. _Gcopystack), but it is
clearer and safer to just use a new one, as Austin suggested.
