428c349552 cmd/link, cmd/internal/obj: give Headtype a type
Separate out windows/windowsgui properly so we are not encoding some
of the Headtype value in a separate headstring global.

Remove one of the two copies of the variable from cmd/link.

Remove duplicate string to headtype list.

7c04633e0c all: fix obsolete inferno-os links
Fixes #16911.

Fix obsolete inferno-os links, since code.google.com shutdown.
This CL points to the right files by replacing
http://code.google.com/p/inferno-os/source/browse
with
https://bitbucket.org/inferno-os/inferno-os/src/default

To implement the change I wrote and ran this script in the root:
$ grep -Rn 'http://code.google.com/p/inferno-os/source/browse' * \
| cut -d":" -f1 | while read F;do perl -pi -e \
's/http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/inferno-os\/source\/browse/https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/inferno-os\/inferno-os\/src\/default/g'
$F;done

I excluded any cmd/vendor changes from the commit.

9b88fac00c cmd/internal/obj: reduce per-architecture opcode space
s390x took up the last available chunk of int16 opcodes.
There are RISC-V and sparc64 ports in progress out of tree,
and there will likely be other architectures.
Reduce the opcode space to allow more architectures to
fit without increasing to int32.

This is the smallest power of two that accomodates all
existing architectures. All else being equal, smaller is
better--smaller numbers are easier to generate immediates
for and easier on the eyes when debugging.

d99cee79b9 [dev.ssa] cmd/compile, etc.: more ARM64 optimizations, and enable SSA by default
Add more ARM64 optimizations:
- use hardware zero register when it is possible.
- use shifted ops.
  The assembler supports shifted ops but not documented, nor knows
  how to print it. This CL adds them.
- enable fast division.
  This was disabled because it makes the old backend generate slower
  code. But with SSA it generates faster code.

Turn on SSA by default, also adjust tests.

7fdec6216c build: enable framepointer mode by default
This has a minor performance cost, but far less than is being gained by SSA.
As an experiment, enable it during the Go 1.7 beta.
Having frame pointers on by default makes Linux's perf, Intel VTune,
and other profilers much more useful, because it lets them gather a
stack trace efficiently on profiling events.
(It doesn't help us that much, since when we walk the stack we usually
need to look up PC-specific information as well.)

Fixes #15840.

R_ADDRMIPS and R_ADDRMIPSU, handling the low 16 bits and the "upper" 16

7d469179e6 cmd/compile, etc: store method tables as offsets
This CL introduces the typeOff type and a lookup method of the same
name that can turn a typeOff offset into an *rtype.

In a typical Go binary (built with buildmode=exe, pie, c-archive, or
c-shared), there is one moduledata and all typeOff values are offsets
relative to firstmoduledata.types. This makes computing the pointer
cheap in typical programs.

With buildmode=shared (and one day, buildmode=plugin) there are
multiple modules whose relative offset is determined at runtime.
We identify a type in the general case by the pair of the original
*rtype that references it and its typeOff value. We determine
the module from the original pointer, and then use the typeOff from
there to compute the final *rtype.

To ensure there is only one *rtype representing each type, the
runtime initializes a typemap for each module, using any identical
type from an earlier module when resolving that offset. This means
that types computed from an offset match the type mapped by the
pointer dynamic relocations.

A series of followup CLs will replace other *rtype values with typeOff
(and name/*string with nameOff).

For types created at runtime by reflect, type offsets are treated as
global IDs and reference into a reflect offset map kept by the runtime.

f028b9f9e2 cmd/link, etc: store typelinks as offsets
This is the first in a series of CLs to replace the use of pointers
in binary read-only data with offsets.

In standard Go binaries these CLs have a small effect, shrinking
8-byte pointers to 4-bytes. In position-independent code, it also
saves the dynamic relocation for the pointer. This has a significant
effect on the binary size when building as PIE, c-archive, or
c-shared.

exceptions are a couple of error messages that still refer to the old
char-based toolchain names and function reltype in cmd/link.

71ab3c1ccf cmd/link: remove -H elf flag
We create appropriate ELF files automatically based on GOOS. There's
no point in supporting -H elf flag, particularly since we need to emit
different flavors of ELF depending on GOOS anyway.

If that weren't reason enough, -H elf appears to be broken since at
least Go 1.4. At least I wasn't able to find a way to make use of it.

As best I can tell digging through commit history, -H elf is just an
artifact leftover from Plan 9's 6l linker.

Node objects.  Unfortunately I couldn't see any change in compile time,
but reducing memory usage is desirable anyhow.

cc158403d6 cmd/compile: track reflect.Type.Method in deadcode
In addition to reflect.Value.Call, exported methods can be invoked
by the Func value in the reflect.Method struct. This CL has the
compiler track what functions get access to a legitimate reflect.Method
struct by looking for interface calls to either of:

	Method(int) reflect.Method
	MethodByName(string) (reflect.Method, bool)

This is a little overly conservative. If a user implements a type
with one of these methods without using the underlying calls on
reflect.Type, the linker will assume the worst and include all
exported methods. But it's cheap.

No change to any of the binary sizes reported in cl/20483.

For #14740

862b9ddda7 cmd/link: prune unused methods
Today the linker keeps all methods of reachable types. This is
necessary if a program uses reflect.Value.Call. But while use of
reflection is widespread in Go for encoders and decoders, using
it to call a method is rare.

This CL looks for the use of reflect.Value.Call in a program, and
if it is absent, adopts a (reasonably conservative) method pruning
strategy as part of dead code elimination. Any method that is
directly called is kept, and any method that matches a used
interface's method signature is kept.

Whether or not a method body is kept is determined by the relocation
from its receiver's *rtype to its *rtype. A small change in the
compiler marks these relocations as R_METHOD so they can be easily
collected and manipulated by the linker.

As a bonus, this technique removes the text segment of methods that
have been inlined. Looking at the output of building cmd/objdump with
-ldflags=-v=2 shows that inlined methods like
runtime.(*traceAllocBlockPtr).ptr are removed from the program.

Relatively little work is necessary to do this. Linking two
examples, jujud and cmd/objdump show no more than +2% link time.

Binaries that do not use reflect.Call.Value drop 4 - 20% in size:

	addr2line: -793KB (18%)
	asm:       -346KB (8%)
	cgo:       -490KB (10%)
	compile:   -564KB (4%)
	dist:      -736KB (17%)
	fix:       -404KB (12%)
	link:      -328KB (7%)
	nm:        -827KB (19%)
	objdump:   -712KB (16%)
	pack:      -327KB (14%)
	yacc:      -350KB (10%)

Binaries that do use reflect.Call.Value see a modest size decrease
of 2 - 6% thanks to pruning of unexported methods:

	api:    -151KB (3%)
	cover:  -222KB (4%)
	doc:    -106KB (2.5%)
	pprof:  -314KB (3%)
	trace:  -357KB (4%)
	vet:    -187KB (2.7%)
	jujud:  -4.4MB (5.8%)
	cmd/go: -384KB (3.4%)

The trivial Hello example program goes from 2MB to 1.68MB:

	package main

	import "fmt"

	func main() {
		fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")
	}

Method pruning also helps when building small binaries with
"-ldflags=-s -w". The above program goes from 1.43MB to 1.2MB.

Unfortunately the linker can only tell if reflect.Value.Call has been
statically linked, not if it is dynamically used. And while use is
rare, it is linked into a very common standard library package,
text/template. The result is programs like cmd/go, which don't use
reflect.Value.Call, see limited benefit from this CL. If binary size
is important enough it may be possible to address this in future work.

For #6853.

21af2d39c2 cmd/compile, cmd/link: eliminate string merging pass
Deleting the string merging pass makes the linker 30-35% faster
but makes jujud (using the github.com/davecheney/benchjuju snapshot) 2.5% larger.
Two optimizations bring the space overhead down to 0.6%.

First, change the default alignment for string data to 1 byte.
(It was previously defaulting to larger amounts, usually pointer width.)

Second, write out the type string for T (usually a bigger expression) as "*T"[1:],
so that the type strings for T and *T share storage.

Combined, these obtain the bulk of the benefit of string merging
at essentially no cost. The remaining benefit from string merging
is not worth the excessive cost, so delete it.

As penance for making the jujud binary 0.6% larger,
the next CL in this sequence trims the reflect functype
information enough to make the jujud binary overall 0.75% smaller
(that is, that CL has a net -1.35% effect).

For #6853.
Fixes #14648.

Simplifies some code as ptrToThis was unreliable under dynamic
linking. Now the same type lookup is used regardless of execution
mode.

A synthetic relocation, R_USETYPE, is introduced to make sure the
linker includes *T on use of T, if *T is carrying methods.

Changes the heap dump format. Anything reading the format needs to
look at the last bool of a type of an interface value to determine
if the type should be the pointer-to type.

Reduces binary size of cmd/go by 0.2%.

XOR AX, AX.  That rewrite isn't ok when the flags register
is live across the MOV.  Keep track of which moves care
about preserving flags, then disable this rewrite for them.

On x86, Prog.Mark was being used to hold the length of the
instruction.  We already store that in Prog.Isize, so no
need to store it in Prog.Mark also.  This frees up Prog.Mark
to hold a bitmask on x86 just like all the other architectures.
