A slice uses less memory than a NodeList, and has better memory locality
when walking the list.
This uncovered a tricky case involving closures: the escape analysis
pass when run on a closure was appending to the Dcl list of the OCLOSURE
rather than the ODCLFUNC. This happened to work because they shared the
same NodeList. Fixed with a change to addrescapes, and a check to
Tempname to catch any recurrences.
This removes the last use of the listsort function outside of tests.
I'll send a separate CL to remove it.
Unfortunately, while this passes all tests, it does not pass toolstash
-cmp. The problem is that cmpstackvarlt does not fully determine the
sort order, and the change from listsort to sort.Sort, while generally
desirable, produces a different ordering. I could stage this by first
making cmpstackvarlt fully determined, but no matter what toolstash -cmp
is going to break at some point.
In my casual testing the compiler is 2.2% faster.
Update #14473.

Previously, given two Nodes n1 and n2 of different non-PAUTO classes
(e.g., PPARAM and PPARAMOUT), cmpstackvarlt(n1, n2) and
cmpstackvarlt(n2, n1) both returned true, which is nonsense.
This doesn't seem to cause any visible miscompilation problems, but
notably fixing it does cause toolstash/buildall to fail.

Consider this code:
func f(*int)
func g() {
p := new(int)
f(p)
}
where f is an assembly function.
In general liveness analysis assumes that during the call to f, p is dead
in this frame. If f has retained p, p will be found alive in f's frame and keep
the new(int) from being garbage collected. This is all correct and works.
We use the Go func declaration for f to give the assembly function
liveness information (the arguments are assumed live for the entire call).
Now consider this code:
func h1() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
}
Here syscall.Syscall is taking the place of f, but because its arguments
are uintptr, the liveness analysis and the garbage collector ignore them.
Since p is no longer live in h once the call starts, if the garbage collector
scans the stack while the system call is blocked, it will find no reference
to the new(int) and reclaim it. If the kernel is going to write to *p once
the call finishes, reclaiming the memory is a mistake.
We can't change the arguments or the liveness information for
syscall.Syscall itself, both for compatibility and because sometimes the
arguments really are integers, and the garbage collector will get quite upset
if it finds an integer where it expects a pointer. The problem is that
these arguments are fundamentally untyped.
The solution we have taken in the syscall package's wrappers in past
releases is to insert a call to a dummy function named "use", to make
it look like the argument is live during the call to syscall.Syscall:
func h2() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
use(unsafe.Pointer(p))
}
Keeping p alive during the call means that if the garbage collector
scans the stack during the system call now, it will find the reference to p.
Unfortunately, this approach is not available to users outside syscall,
because 'use' is unexported, and people also have to realize they need
to use it and do so. There is much existing code using syscall.Syscall
without a 'use'-like function. That code will fail very occasionally in
mysterious ways (see #13372).
This CL fixes all that existing code by making the compiler do the right
thing automatically, without any code modifications. That is, it takes h1
above, which is incorrect code today, and makes it correct code.
Specifically, if the compiler sees a foreign func definition (one
without a body) that has uintptr arguments, it marks those arguments
as "unsafe uintptrs". If it later sees the function being called
with uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(x)) as an argument, it arranges to mark x
as having escaped, and it makes sure to hold x in a live temporary
variable until the call returns, so that the garbage collector cannot
reclaim whatever heap memory x points to.
For now I am leaving the explicit calls to use in package syscall,
but they can be removed early in a future cycle (likely Go 1.7).
The rule has no effect on escape analysis, only on liveness analysis.
Fixes#13372.

Before this change, the check for too-large arrays (and other large
types) occurred after escape analysis. If the data moved off stack
and onto the heap contained any pointers, it would therefore escape,
but because the too-large check occurred after escape analysis this
would not be recorded and a stack pointer would leak to the heap
(see the modified escape_array.go for an example).
Some of these appear to remain, in calls to typecheck from within walk.
Also corrected a few comments in escape_array.go about "BAD"
analysis that is now done correctly.
Enhanced to move aditional EscNone-but-large-so-heap checks into esc.c.
