The new Minalign field sets the minimum alignment for all symbols.
This is required for the upcoming s390x port which requires symbols
be 2-byte aligned for efficient relative addressing.
All preexisting architectures have Minalign set to 1 which means
that this commit should have no effect.
I tested values of 2, 4 and 8 on linux amd64 and the tests appear to
pass. Increasing Minalign to 16 appears to break the runtime. I
think this is due to assumptions made about the layout of module
data.
toolstash -cmp on linux amd64 shows no changes due to this commit.

The PowerPC ISA does not have a PC-relative load instruction, which poses
obvious challenges when generating position-independent code. The way the ELFv2
ABI addresses this is to specify that r2 points to a per "module" (shared
library or executable) TOC pointer. Maintaining this pointer requires
cooperation between codegen and the system linker:
* Non-leaf functions leave space on the stack at r1+24 to save the TOC pointer.
* A call to a function that *might* have to go via a PLT stub must be followed
by a nop instruction that the system linker can replace with "ld r1, 24(r1)"
to restore the TOC pointer (only when dynamically linking Go code).
* When calling a function via a function pointer, the address of the function
must be in r12, and the first couple of instructions (the "global entry
point") of the called function use this to derive the address of the TOC
for the module it is in.
* When calling a function that is implemented in the same module, the system
linker adjusts the call to skip over the instructions mentioned above (the
"local entry point"), assuming that r2 is already correctly set.
So this changeset adds the global entry point instructions, sets the metadata so
the system linker knows where the local entry point is, inserts code to save the
TOC pointer at 24(r1), adds a nop after any call not known to be local and copes
with the odd non-local code transfer in the runtime (e.g. the stuff around
jmpdefer). It does not actually compile PIC yet.

Android linker does not handle TLS for us. We set up the TLS slot
for g, as darwin/386,amd64 handle instead. This is disgusting and
fragile. We will eventually fix this ugly hack by taking advantage
of the recent TLS IE model implementation. (Instead of referencing
an GOT entry, make the code sequence look into the TLS variable that
holds the offset.)
The TLS slot for g in android/amd64 assumes a fixed offset from %fs.
See runtime/cgo/gcc_android_amd64.c for details.

People invoking the linker directly already have to change their scripts
to use the new "go tool link", so this is a good time to make the -X flag
behave like all other Go flags and take just a single argument.
The old syntax will continue to be accepted (it is rewritten into the new
syntax before flag parsing). Maybe some day we will be able to retire it.
Even if we never retire the old syntax, having the new syntax at least
makes the rewriting much less of a kludge.

We already read the address of a gcmask/gcprog out of the type data, but I
didn't know how many bytes to read. But it turns out that it's easy to
calculate, so change to do that. This means that we no longer depend on the
local symbols being present, allowing me to strip the shared libraries for
distribution and make them a lot smaller.
As a bonus, this makes LSym another 24 bytes smaller, down to 296 bytes now.

This makes for a more stable API for tools (including cmd/link itself) to
extract the abi hash from a shared library and makes it possible at all for a
library that has had the local symbol table removed.
The existing note-writing code only supports writing notes into the very start
of the object file so they are easy to find in core dumps. This doesn't apply
to the "go" notes and means that all notes have to fit into a fixed size
budget. That's annoying now we have more notes (and the next CL will add
another one) so this does a little bit of work to make adding notes that do not
have to go at the start of the file easier and moves the writing of the package
list note over to that mechanism, which lets me revert a hack that increased
the size budget mentioned above for -buildmode=shared builds.
