Go requires that pointer moves are done 8 bytes at a time,
but gccgo uses libc's memmove and memset which does not require
that, and there are some cases where an 8 byte move might be
done as 4+4.
To enforce 8 byte moves for memmove and memset, this adds a
C implementation in libgo/runtime for memmove and memset to be
used on ppc64le and ppc64. Asm implementations were considered
but discarded to avoid different implementations for different
target ISAs.

Only compile the __go_ptrace varargs shim on Linux to avoid compilation
failures on some other platforms. The C ptrace function is not entirely
portable (e.g., NetBSD has `int data` instead of `void* data`), and so
far Linux is the only platform that needs the varargs shim.
Additionally, make the types in the ptrace and raw_ptrace function
declarations match. This makes it more clear that the only difference
between the two is that calls via the former are allowed to block while
calls via the latter are not.

ptrace is actually declared as a variadic function. On ppc64le
the ABI requires to the caller to allocate space for the parameters
and allows the caller to modify them.
On ppc64le, depending on how and what version of GCC is used,
it will save to parameter save area. This happened to clobber
a saved LR, and caused syscall.TestExecPtrace to fail with a timeout
when the tracee segfaults, and waits for the parent process to inspect.

Right now we generate hash functions for all types, just in case they
are used as map keys. That's a lot of wasted effort and binary size
for types which will never be used as a map key. Instead, generate
hash functions only for types that we know are map keys.
Just doing that is a bit too simple, since maps with an interface type
as a key might have to hash any concrete key type that implements that
interface. So for that case, implement hashing of such types at
runtime (instead of with generated code). It will be slower, but only
for maps with interface types as keys, and maybe only a bit slower as
the aeshash time probably dominates the dispatch time.
Reorg where we keep the equals and hash functions. Move the hash function
from the key type to the map type, saving a field in every non-map type.
That leaves only one function in the alg structure, so get rid of that and
just keep the equal function in the type descriptor itself.
While we're here, reorganize the rtype struct to more closely match
the gc version.

Currently, getg is implemented in C, which loads the thread-local
g variable. The g variable is declared static in C.
This CL exposes the g variable, so it can be accessed from the Go
side. This allows the Go compiler to inline getg calls to direct
access of g.
Currently, the actual inlining is only implemented in the gollvm
compiler. The g variable is thread-local and the compiler backend
may choose to cache the TLS address in a register or on stack. If
a thread switch happens the cache may become invalid. I don't
know how to disable the TLS address cache in gccgo, therefore
the inlining of getg is not implemented. In the future gccgo may
gain this if we know how to do it safely.

When the runtime collects a stack trace to associate it with some
profiling event (mem alloc, mutex, etc) there is a skip count passed
to runtime.Callers (or equivalent) to skip some known count of frames
in order to get to the "interesting" frame corresponding to the
profile event. Now that the profiling mechanism uses lazy fixup (when
removing compiler artifacts like thunks, morestack calls etc), we also
need to move the frame skipping logic after the fixup, so as to insure
that the skip count isn't thrown off by these artifacts.

The gc compiler recognizes append(s, make([]T, n)...), and
generates code to directly zero the tail instead of allocating a
new slice and copying. This CL lets the Go frontend do basically
the same.
The difficulty is that at the point we handle append, there may
already be temporaries introduced (e.g. in order_evaluations),
which makes it hard to find the append-of-make pattern. The
compiler could "see through" the value of a temporary, but it is
only safe to do if the temporary is not assigned multiple times.
For this, we add tracking of assignments and uses for temporaries.
This also helps in optimizing non-escape slice make. We already
optimize non-escape slice make with constant len/cap to stack
allocation. But it failed to handle things like f(make([]T, n))
(where the slice doesn't escape and n is constant), because of
the temporary. With tracking of temporary assignments and uses,
it can handle this now as well.

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.

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.

getcallersp is defined as __builtin_frame_address(0). They don't
match. Further, neither of them actually returns the caller's SP.
On AMD64, __builtin_frame_address(0) just returns the frame
pointer. __builtin_frame_address(1) returns the memory content
where the frame pointer points to, which is typically the
caller's frame pointer but can also be garbage if the frame
pointer is not enabled.
This CL changes it to use __builtin_dwarf_cfa(), which returns
the caller's SP at the call site. This matches the SP we get
from unwinding the stack.
