These functions claimed to return error (an interface)
and be implemented entirely in assembly, but it's not
possible to create an interface from assembly
(at least not easily).
In reality the functions were written to return an errno uintptr
despite the Go prototype saying error.
When the errno was 0, they coincidentally filled out a nil error
by writing the 0 to the type word of the interface.
If the errno was ever non-zero, the functions would
create a non-nil error that would crash when trying to
call err.Error().
Luckily these functions (Seek, Time, Gettimeofday) pretty
much never fail, so it was all kind of working.

Solaris does not define syscall.{Mmap,Munmap}. Move the Mmap test to a new file and exclude solaris as discussed.

This CL adds a test that calls Mmap and Munmap through Syscall9
as the canary that detects assembly fragment breakage. For now
there is no package test that uses Syscall9 in the standard
library across all Unix-like systems.
Note that the package runtime owns its assembly fragments, so
this canary never works for runtime breakage.

These are only the new files, autogenerated files are in a
different CL to keep the size down.

As per request from minux in CL 61520049, this CL consolidates
existing test cases for Unix-like systems into one file except
Linux-specific credential test.
