Prior to this CL, the compiler and assembler
were sloppy about the LSym.Type for LSyms
containing static data.
The linker then fixed this up, converting
Sxxx and SBSS to SDATA, and SNOPTRBSS to SNOPTRDATA
if it noticed that the symbol had associated data.
It is preferable to just get this right in cmd/compile
and cmd/asm, because it removes an unnecessary traversal
of the symbol table from the linker (see #14624).
Do this by touching up the LSym.Type fixes in
LSym.prepwrite and Link.Globl.
I have confirmed by instrumenting the linker
that the now-eliminated code paths were unreached.
And an additional check in the object file writing code
will help preserve that invariant.
There was a case in the Windows linker,
with internal linking and cgo,
where we were generating SNOPTRBSS symbols with data.
For now, convert those at the site at which they occur
into SNOPTRDATA, just like they were.
Does not pass toolstash-check,
but does generate identical linked binaries.
No compiler performance changes.

This CL adds initial support for concurrent backend compilation.
BACKGROUND
The compiler currently consists (very roughly) of the following phases:
1. Initialization.
2. Lexing and parsing into the cmd/compile/internal/syntax AST.
3. Translation into the cmd/compile/internal/gc AST.
4. Some gc AST passes: typechecking, escape analysis, inlining,
closure handling, expression evaluation ordering (order.go),
and some lowering and optimization (walk.go).
5. Translation into the cmd/compile/internal/ssa SSA form.
6. Optimization and lowering of SSA form.
7. Translation from SSA form to assembler instructions.
8. Translation from assembler instructions to machine code.
9. Writing lots of output: machine code, DWARF symbols,
type and reflection info, export data.
Phase 2 was already concurrent as of Go 1.8.
Phase 3 is planned for eventual removal;
we hope to go straight from syntax AST to SSA.
Phases 5–8 are per-function; this CL adds support for
processing multiple functions concurrently.
The slowest phases in the compiler are 5 and 6,
so this offers the opportunity for some good speed-ups.
Unfortunately, it's not quite that straightforward.
In the current compiler, the latter parts of phase 4
(order, walk) are done function-at-a-time as needed.
Making order and walk concurrency-safe proved hard,
and they're not particularly slow, so there wasn't much reward.
To enable phases 5–8 to be done concurrently,
when concurrent backend compilation is requested,
we complete phase 4 for all functions
before starting later phases for any functions.
Also, in reality, we automatically generate new
functions in phase 9, such as method wrappers
and equality and has routines.
Those new functions then go through phases 4–8.
This CL disables concurrent backend compilation
after the first, big, user-provided batch of
functions has been compiled.
This is done to keep things simple,
and because the autogenerated functions
tend to be small, few, simple, and fast to compile.
USAGE
Concurrent backend compilation still defaults to off.
To set the number of functions that may be backend-compiled
concurrently, use the compiler flag -c.
In future work, cmd/go will automatically set -c.
Furthermore, this CL has been intentionally written
so that the c=1 path has no backend concurrency whatsoever,
not even spawning any goroutines.
This helps ensure that, should problems arise
late in the development cycle,
we can simply have cmd/go set c=1 always,
and revert to the original compiler behavior.
MUTEXES
Most of the work required to make concurrent backend
compilation safe has occurred over the past month.
This CL adds a handful of mutexes to get the rest of the way there;
they are the mutexes that I didn't see a clean way to avoid.
Some of them may still be eliminable in future work.
In no particular order:
* gc.funcsymsmu. The global funcsyms slice is populated
lazily when we need function symbols for closures.
This occurs during gc AST to SSA translation.
The function funcsym also does a package lookup,
which is a source of races on types.Pkg.Syms;
funcsymsmu also covers that package lookup.
This mutex is low priority: it adds a single global,
it is in an infrequently used code path, and it is low contention.
Since funcsyms may now be added in any order,
we must sort them to preserve reproducible builds.
* gc.largeStackFramesMu. We don't discover until after SSA compilation
that a function's stack frame is gigantic.
Recording that error happens basically never,
but it does happen concurrently.
Fix with a low priority mutex and sorting.
* obj.Link.hashmu. ctxt.hash stores the mapping from
types.Syms (compiler symbols) to obj.LSyms (linker symbols).
It is accessed fairly heavily through all the phases.
This is the only heavily contended mutex.
* gc.signatlistmu. The global signatlist map is
populated with types through several of the concurrent phases,
including notably via ngotype during DWARF generation.
It is low priority for removal.
* gc.typepkgmu. Looking up symbols in the types package
happens a fair amount during backend compilation
and DWARF generation, particularly via ngotype.
This mutex helps us to avoid a broader mutex on types.Pkg.Syms.
It has low-to-moderate contention.
* types.internedStringsmu. gc AST to SSA conversion and
some SSA work introduce new autotmps.
Those autotmps have their names interned to reduce allocations.
That interning requires protecting types.internedStrings.
The autotmp names are heavily re-used, and the mutex
overhead and contention here are low, so it is probably
a worthwhile performance optimization to keep this mutex.
TESTING
I have been testing this code locally by running
'go install -race cmd/compile'
and then doing
'go build -a -gcflags=-c=128 std cmd'
for all architectures and a variety of compiler flags.
This obviously needs to be made part of the builders,
but it is too expensive to make part of all.bash.
I have filed #19962 for this.
REPRODUCIBLE BUILDS
This version of the compiler generates reproducible builds.
Testing reproducible builds also needs automation, however,
and is also too expensive for all.bash.
This is #19961.
Also of note is that some of the compiler flags used by 'toolstash -cmp'
are currently incompatible with concurrent backend compilation.
They still work fine with c=1.
Time will tell whether this is a problem.
NEXT STEPS
* Continue to find and fix races and bugs,
using a combination of code inspection, fuzzing,
and hopefully some community experimentation.
I do not know of any outstanding races,
but there probably are some.
* Improve testing.
* Improve performance, for many values of c.
* Integrate with cmd/go and fine tune.
* Support concurrent compilation with the -race flag.
It is a sad irony that it does not yet work.
* Minor code cleanup that has been deferred during
the last month due to uncertainty about the
ultimate shape of this CL.

Going beyond c=4 on my machine tends to increase CPU time and allocs
without impacting real time.
The CPU time numbers matter, because when there are many concurrent
compilation processes, that will impact the overall throughput.
The numbers above are in many ways the best case scenario;
we can take full advantage of all cores.
Fortunately, the most common compilation scenario is incremental
re-compilation of a single package during a build/test cycle.

This is an automated refactoring to eliminate
all dxxx calls in gc/obj.go that accept types.Sym
instead of obj.LSym parameters.
The refactoring was of the form:
gorename -from '"cmd/compile/internal/gc".duintxx' -to Duintxx
gorename -from '"cmd/compile/internal/gc".duintxxLSym' -to DuintxxLSym
eg -t t.go -w cmd/compile/internal/gc
gofmt -r 'DuintxxLSym -> duintxxLSym' -w cmd/compile/internal/gc
where t.go looked like:
func before(s *types.Sym, off int, v uint64, wid int) int {
return gc.Duintxx(s, off, v, wid)
}
func after(s *types.Sym, off int, v uint64, wid int) int {
return gc.DuintxxLSym(s.Linksym(), off, v, wid)
}
The rename/gofmt shenanigans were to work around
limitations and bugs in eg and gorename.
The resulting code in reflect.go looks temporarily ugly,
but it makes refactoring and cleanup opportunities
much clearer.
Next step is to rename all the dxxx methods to rename the -LSym suffix
and clean up reflect.go.
The renaming is left for a separate CL to make the changes in
this CL more obvious, and thus hopefully easier to review.

The compiler handled gcargs and gclocals LSyms unusually.
It generated placeholder symbols (makefuncdatasym),
filled them in, and then renamed them for content-addressability.
This is an important binary size optimization;
the same locals information occurs over and over.
This CL continues to treat these LSyms unusually,
but in a slightly more explicit way,
and importantly for concurrent compilation,
in a way that does not require concurrent
modification of Ctxt.Hash.
Instead of creating gcargs and gclocals in the usual way,
by creating a types.Sym and then an obj.LSym,
we add them directly to obj.FuncInfo,
initialize them in obj.InitTextSym,
and deduplicate and add them to ctxt.Data at the end.
Then the backend's job is simply to fill them in
and rename them appropriately.

When set to false, the -dolinkobj flag instructs the compiler
not to generate or emit linker information.
This is handy when you need the compiler's export data,
e.g. for use with go/importer,
but you want to avoid the cost of full compilation.
This must be used with care, since the resulting
files are unusable for linking.
This CL interacts with #18369,
where adding gcflags and ldflags to buildid has been mooted.
On the one hand, adding gcflags would make safe use of this
flag easier, since if the full object files were needed,
a simple 'go install' would fix it.
On the other hand, this would mean that
'go install -gcflags=-dolinkobj=false' would rebuild the object files,
although any existing object files would probably suffice.

This flag is experimental and the semantics may change
even after Go 1.7 is released. There are no changes to code
not using the flag.
The first part is for reading by future compiles.
The second part is for reading by the final link step.
Splitting the file this way allows distributed build systems
to ship the compile-input part only to compile steps and
the linker-input part only to linker steps.
The first part is basically just the export data,
and the second part is basically everything else.
The overall files still have the same broad structure,
so that existing tools will work with both halves.
It's just that various pieces are empty in the two halves.
This also copies the two bits of data the linker needed from
export data into the object header proper, so that the linker
doesn't need any export data at all. That eliminates a TODO
that was left for switching to the binary export data.
(Now the linker doesn't need to know about the switch.)
The default is still to write out a combined output file.
Nothing changes unless you pass -linkobj to the compiler.
There is no support in the go command for -linkobj,
since the go command doesn't copy objects around.
The expectation is that other build systems (like bazel, say)
might take advantage of this.
The header adjustment and the option for the split output
was intended as part of the zip archives, but the zip archives
have been cut from Go 1.7. Doing this to the current archives
both unblocks one step in the switch to binary export data
and enables alternate build systems to experiment with the
new flag using the Go 1.7 release.

mapaccess{1,2} returns a pointer to the value. When the key
is not in the map, it returns a pointer to zeroed memory.
Currently, for large map values we have a complicated scheme which
dynamically allocates zeroed memory for this purpose. It is ugly
code and requires an atomic.Load in a bunch of places we'd rather
not have it.
Switch to a scheme where callsites of mapaccess{1,2} which expect
large return values pass in a pointer to zeroed memory that
mapaccess can return if the key is not found. This avoids the
atomic.Load on all map accesses with a few extra instructions only
for the large value acccesses, plus a bit of bss space.
There was a time (1.4 & 1.5?) where we did something like this but
all the tricks to make the right size zero value were done by the
linker. That scheme broke in the presence of dyamic linking.
The scheme in this CL works even when dynamic linking.
