For types defined as:
type typename struct { ... }
the linker produces two DIEs: (1) a DW_TAG_structure_type DIE and (2) a
DW_TAG_typedef_type DIE having (1) as its type attribute.
All subsequent references to 'typename' should use the
DW_TAG_typedef_type DIE, not the DW_TAG_structure_type. Mostly this is
true but sometimes one reference will use the DW_TAG_structure_type
directly. In particular, this happens to the 'first' reference to the
type in question (where 'first' means whatever happens first in the way
the linker scans its symbols).
This isn't only true of struct types: pointer types, array types, etc.
can also be affected.
This fix solves the problem by always returning the typedef DIE in
newtype, when one is created.

The linker's DWARF generation occasionally computes and attaches an
attribute X to a type even though the type's abbrev doesn't have the
specified attr. For example, the DW_TAG_subroutine_type abbrev entry
has no type attribute, but a type attr is given to it (wasting
memory). Similarly there are some places where a byte size attr is
added to a DIE whose abbrev lacks that attr. This patch trims away a
few of these not-needed attrs, saving some very tiny amount of memory.

We want to compress DWARF even on macOS, but the native toolchain isn't
going to understand it. Add a flag that can be used to disable
compression, then add Darwin to the whitelist used during internal
linking.
Unlike GNU ld, the Darwin linker doesn't have a handy linker flag to do
compression. But since we're already doing surgery to put the DWARF in
the output executable in the first place, compressing it at the same
time isn't unduly difficult. This does have the slightly odd effect of
compressing some Apple proprietary debug sections, which absolutely
nothing will understand. Leaving them uncompressed didn't make much
sense, though, since I doubt they're useful without (say) __debug_info.

Forked from CL 111895.
The trickiest part of this is that the binary layout code (blk,
elfshbits, and various other things) assumes a constant offset between
symbols' and sections' file locations and their virtual addresses.
Compression, of course, breaks this constant offset. But we need to
assign virtual addresses to everything before compression in order to
resolve relocations before compression. As a result, compression needs
to re-compute the "address" of the DWARF sections and symbols based on
their compressed size. Luckily, these are at the end of the file, so
this doesn't perturb any other sections or symbols. (And there is, of
course, a surprising amount of code that assumes the DWARF segment
comes last, so what's one more place?)

To improve debugging, instructions should be annotated with
DWARF is_stmt. The DWARF default before was is_stmt=1, and
to remove "jumpy" stepping the optimizer was tagging
instructions with a no-position position, which interferes
with the accuracy of profiling information. This allows
that to be corrected, and also allows more "jumpy" positions
to be annotated with is_stmt=0 (these changes were not made
for 1.10 because of worries about further messing up
profiling).
The is_stmt values are placed in a pc-encoded table and
passed through a symbol derived from the name of the
function and processed in the linker alongside its
processing of each function's pc/line tables.
The only change in binary size is in the .debug_line tables
measured with "objdump -h --section=.debug_line go1.test"
For go1.test, these are 2614 bytes larger,
or 0.72% of the size of .debug_line,
or 0.025% of the file size.
This will increase in proportion to how much the is_stmt
flag is used (toggled).

We temporarily lose compilation unit PC range information, since it's

Beyond being "more traditional", this has various technical
advantages:
* It should speed up line table lookup, since that requires a
sequential scan of the line table. With this change, a debugger can
first locate the per-package line table and then scan only that line
table.
* Once we emit compilation unit PC ranges again, this should also
speed up various other debugger reverse PC lookups.
* It puts us in a good position to move more DWARF generation into the

Currently the linker figures out where runtime-gdb.py should be by
looking for the path to runtime/debug.go. However, debug.go contains
only a few symbols and can easily get dead-code eliminated entirely,
especially from simple binaries. When this happens, the resulting
binary lacks a reference to runtime-gdb.py, so the GDB helpers don't
get loaded.
Fix this by instead sniffing for runtime/proc.go. This contains
runtime.main and the scheduler, so it's not going anywhere.

Also reduce the passed context from *Link to *sys.Arch, so fewer
data dependencies need to be wired through all the code dealing
with symbols.

Begin passing coutbuf by as a parameter. To make the initial plumbing
pass easier, it is also a field in the standard ctxt parameter.
Consolidate the byte writing functions into the OutBuf object.
The result is less architecture-dependent initialization.
To avoid plumbing out everywhere we want to report an error, move
handling of out file deletion to an AtExit function.

Simplify the DWARF representation of structs by emitting field offsets
as constants rather than location descriptions.
This was not explicitly mentioned as an option in DWARF2. It is
mentioned in DWARF4, but isn't listed in the changes, so it's not clear
if this was always intended to work or is an undocumented change. Either
way, it should be valid DWARF4.

In writelines the linker uses various auxiliary information about a
function to create its line table entries. (It also does some unrelated
stuff, but never mind.) There's no reason to do this for non-Go
functions, so it bails out if the symbol has no FuncInfo.
However, it does so *after* it looks up (and implicitly creates!) the
go.info symbol for the function, which doesn't make sense and risks
creating duplicate symbols for static C functions. Move the check up so
that it doesn't do that.
Since non-Go functions can't reference Go types, there shouldn't be any
relocations to type info DIEs that need to be built, so there should be
no harm not doing that.
I wanted to change the Lookup to an ROLookup but that broke the
shared-mode tests with an inscrutable error.
No test. It seems too specific to worry about, but if someone disagrees
I can figure something out.
Fixes#21566
