These messages can happen if there are
duplicate body-less function declarations.
Using panic gives the panic handler
a chance to handle the panic by printing the
queued error messages instead of an internal error.
And if there are no queued error messages,
using panic pinpoints the stack trace leading
to the incorrect use of NewFuncInfo/NewFileInfo.

This commit contains the compiler support for //go:embed lines.
The go command passes to the compiler an "embed config"
that maps literal patterns like *.txt to the set of files to embed.
The compiler then lays out the content of those files as static data
in the form of an embed.Files or string or []byte in the final object file.
The test for this code is the end-to-end test hooking up the
embed, cmd/compile, and cmd/go changes, in the next CL.

Note, this is probably not the final state of the file table within the

to make generation of pcln simplest, and most memory friendly.

For content-addressable symbols with relocations, we build a

the category of the referenced symbol, we choose different hash
algorithms such that the hash is globally consistent.
For now, we only support content-addressable symbols with
relocations when the current package's import path is known, so
that the symbol names are fully expanded. Otherwise, if the
referenced symbol is a named symbol whose name is not fully
expanded, the hash won't be globally consistent, and can cause
erroneous collisions. This is fine for now, as the deduplication
is just an optimization, not a requirement for correctness (until
we get to type descriptors).

Currently, a method of a reachable type is live if it matches a
method of a reachable interface. In fact, we only need to retain
the method if the type is actually converted to an interface. If
the type is never converted to an interface, there is no way to
call the method through an interface method call (but the type
descriptor could still be used, e.g. in calling
runtime.newobject).
A type can be used in an interface in two ways:
- directly converted to interface. (Any interface counts, as it
is possible to convert one interface to another.)
- obtained by reflection from a related type (e.g. obtaining an
interface of T from []T).
For the former, we let the compiler emit a marker on the type
descriptor symbol when it is converted to an interface. In the
linker, we only need to check methods of marked types.
For the latter, when the linker visits a marked type, it needs to
visit all its "child" types as marked (i.e. potentially could be
converted to interface).

Currently, we emit stack maps and register maps at almost every
instruction. This was originally intended to support non-cooperative
preemption, but was only ever used for debug call injection. Now debug
call injection also uses conservative frame scanning. As a result,
stack maps are only needed at call sites and register maps aren't
needed at all except that we happen to also encode unsafe-point
information in the register map PCDATA stream.
This CL reduces stack maps to only appear at calls, and replace full
register maps with just safe/unsafe-point information.

The new object files use indices for symbol references, instead
of names. Fundamental to the design, it requires that the
importing and imported packages have consistent view of symbol
indices. The Go command should already ensure this, when using
"go build". But in case it goes wrong, it could lead to obscure
errors like run-time crashes. It would be better to check the
index consistency at build time.
To do that, we add a fingerprint to each object file, which is
a hash of symbol indices. In the object file it records the
fingerprints of all imported packages, as well as its own
fingerprint. At link time, the linker checks that a package's
fingerprint matches the fingerprint recorded in the importing
packages, and issue an error if they don't match.
This CL does the first part: introducing the fingerprint in the
object file, and propagating fingerprints through
importing/exporting by the compiler. It is not yet used by the
linker. Next CL will do.

Generate inline code at defer time to save the args of defer calls to unique
(autotmp) stack slots, and generate inline code at exit time to check which defer
calls were made and make the associated function/method/interface calls. We
remember that a particular defer statement was reached by storing in the deferBits
variable (always stored on the stack). At exit time, we check the bits of the
deferBits variable to determine which defer function calls to make (in reverse
order). These low-cost defers are only used for functions where no defers
appear in loops. In addition, we don't do these low-cost defers if there are too
many defer statements or too many exits in a function (to limit code increase).
When a function uses open-coded defers, we produce extra
FUNCDATA_OpenCodedDeferInfo information that specifies the number of defers, and
for each defer, the stack slots where the closure and associated args have been
stored. The funcdata also includes the location of the deferBits variable.
Therefore, for panics, we can use this funcdata to determine exactly which defers
are active, and call the appropriate functions/methods/closures with the correct
arguments for each active defer.
In order to unwind the stack correctly after a recover(), we need to add an extra
code segment to functions with open-coded defers that simply calls deferreturn()
and returns. This segment is not reachable by the normal function, but is returned
to by the runtime during recovery. We set the liveness information of this
deferreturn() to be the same as the liveness at the first function call during the
last defer exit code (so all return values and all stack slots needed by the defer
calls will be live).
I needed to increase the stackguard constant from 880 to 896, because of a small
amount of new code in deferreturn().
The -N flag disables open-coded defers. '-d defer' prints out the kind of defer
being used at each defer statement (heap-allocated, stack-allocated, or
open-coded).
Cost of defer statement [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkDefer$ runtime ]
With normal (stack-allocated) defers only: 35.4 ns/op
With open-coded defers: 5.6 ns/op
Cost of function call alone (remove defer keyword): 4.4 ns/op
Text size increase (including funcdata) for go binary without/with open-coded defers: 0.09%
The average size increase (including funcdata) for only the functions that use
open-coded defers is 1.1%.
The cost of a panic followed by a recover got noticeably slower, since panic
processing now requires a scan of the stack for open-coded defer frames. This scan
is required, even if no frames are using open-coded defers:
Cost of panic and recover [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkPanicRecover runtime ]

it needs to reference symbols defined in the shared library. At
compile time, we don't know where the shared library boundary is.
If we reference a symbol in package p by index, and package p is
actually part of a shared library, we cannot resolve the index at
link time, as the linker doesn't see the object file of p.
So when linking against Go shared libraries, always use named
reference for now.
To do this, the compiler needs to know whether we will be linking
against Go shared libraries. The -dynlink flag kind of indicates
that (as the document says), but currently it is actually
overloaded: it is also used when building a plugin or a shared
library, which is self-contained (if -linkshared is not otherwise
specified) and could use index for symbol reference. So we
introduce another compiler flag, -linkshared, specifically for
linking against Go shared libraries. The go command will pass
this flag if its -linkshared flag is specified
("go build -linkshared").
There may be better way to handle this. For example, we can
put the symbol indices in a special section in the shared library
that the linker can read. Or we can generate some per-package
description file to include the indices. (Currently we generate
a .shlibname file for each package that is included in a shared
library, which contains the path of the library. We could
consider extending this.) That said, this CL is a stop-gap
solution. And it is no worse than the old object files.
If we were to redesign the build system so that the shared
library boundary is known at compile time, we could use indices
for symbol references that do not cross shared library boundary,
as well as doing other things better.

Generate inline code at defer time to save the args of defer calls to unique
(autotmp) stack slots, and generate inline code at exit time to check which defer
calls were made and make the associated function/method/interface calls. We
remember that a particular defer statement was reached by storing in the deferBits
variable (always stored on the stack). At exit time, we check the bits of the
deferBits variable to determine which defer function calls to make (in reverse
order). These low-cost defers are only used for functions where no defers
appear in loops. In addition, we don't do these low-cost defers if there are too
many defer statements or too many exits in a function (to limit code increase).
When a function uses open-coded defers, we produce extra
FUNCDATA_OpenCodedDeferInfo information that specifies the number of defers, and
for each defer, the stack slots where the closure and associated args have been
stored. The funcdata also includes the location of the deferBits variable.
Therefore, for panics, we can use this funcdata to determine exactly which defers
are active, and call the appropriate functions/methods/closures with the correct
arguments for each active defer.
In order to unwind the stack correctly after a recover(), we need to add an extra
code segment to functions with open-coded defers that simply calls deferreturn()
and returns. This segment is not reachable by the normal function, but is returned
to by the runtime during recovery. We set the liveness information of this
deferreturn() to be the same as the liveness at the first function call during the
last defer exit code (so all return values and all stack slots needed by the defer
calls will be live).
I needed to increase the stackguard constant from 880 to 896, because of a small
amount of new code in deferreturn().
The -N flag disables open-coded defers. '-d defer' prints out the kind of defer
being used at each defer statement (heap-allocated, stack-allocated, or
open-coded).
Cost of defer statement [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkDefer$ runtime ]
With normal (stack-allocated) defers only: 35.4 ns/op
With open-coded defers: 5.6 ns/op
Cost of function call alone (remove defer keyword): 4.4 ns/op
Text size increase (including funcdata) for go cmd without/with open-coded defers: 0.09%
The average size increase (including funcdata) for only the functions that use
open-coded defers is 1.1%.
The cost of a panic followed by a recover got noticeably slower, since panic
processing now requires a scan of the stack for open-coded defer frames. This scan
is required, even if no frames are using open-coded defers:
Cost of panic and recover [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkPanicRecover runtime ]
Without open-coded defers: 62.0 ns/op
With open-coded defers: 255 ns/op
A CGO Go-to-C-to-Go benchmark got noticeably faster because of open-coded defers:
CGO Go-to-C-to-Go benchmark [cd misc/cgo/test; go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkCGoCallback ]
Without open-coded defers: 443 ns/op
With open-coded defers: 347 ns/op

If -newobj is set, write object file in new format, which uses
indices for symbol references instead of symbol names. The file
format is described at the beginning of
cmd/internal/goobj2/objfile.go.
A new package, cmd/internal/goobj2, is introduced for reading and
writing new object files. (The package name is temporary.) It is
written in a way that trys to make the encoding as regular as
possible, and the reader and writer as symmetric as possible.
This is incomplete, and currently nothing will consume the new
object file.

We are planning to use indices for symbol references, instead of
symbol names. Here we assign indices to symbols defined in the
package being compiled, and propagate the indices to the
dependent packages in the export data.
A symbol is referenced by a tuple, (package index, symbol index).
Normally, for a given symbol, this index is unique, and the
symbol index is globally consistent (but with exceptions, see
below). The package index is local to a compilation. For example,
when compiling the fmt package, fmt.Println gets assigned index
25, then all packages that reference fmt.Println will refer it
as (X, 25) with some X. X is the index for the fmt package, which
may differ in different compilations.
There are some symbols that do not have clear package affiliation,
such as dupOK symbols and linknamed symbols. We cannot give them
globally consistent indices. We categorize them as non-package
symbols, assign them with package index 1 and a symbol index that
is only meaningful locally.
Currently nothing will consume the indices.
All this is behind a flag, -newobj. The flag needs to be set for
all builds (-gcflags=all=-newobj -asmflags=all=-newobj), or none.

Don't write Autom records when writing a function to the object file;
we no longer need them in the linker for DWARF processing. So as to
keep the object file format unchanged, write out a zero-length list of
automs to the object, as opposed to removing all references.

During DWARF processing, keep track of the go type symbols for types
directly or indirectly referenced by auto variables in a function,
and add a set of dummy R_USETYPE relocations to the function's DWARF
subprogram DIE symbol.
This change is not useful on its own, but is part of a series of
changes intended to clean up handling of autom's in the compiler
and linker.

This is broken out from: CL 187117
This new symbol will be populated by the compiler and contain debug line
information that's currently generated in the linker. One might say it's
sad to create a new symbol, but this symbol will replace the isStmt
symbols.
