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.

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.

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.

SSA generates ACALL assembly with the target in a *Sym.
The old compiler generates both that *Sym and a *Node.
Use the *Sym to print the live info so it works with both compilers.

Cleaned up first-block-in-function code.
Added cases for |PHEAP for PPARAM and PAUTO.
Made PPARAMOUT act more like PAUTO for purposes
of address generation and vardef placement.
Added cases for OCLOSUREVAR and Ops for getting closure
pointer. Closure ops are scheduled at top of entry block
to capture DX.
Wrote test that seems to show proper behavior for addressed
parameters, locals, and returns.

Make sure that return blocks take a store as their control. Without
this, code was getting inserted between the return and exit blocks.
Use AEND to mark the end of code. The live variable analysis gets
confused when routines end like:
JMP earlier
RET
because the RET is unreachable. The RET was incorrectly added to the
last basic block, rendering the JMP invisible to the CFG builder.
