d57c3fd743 cmd/go: inject State parameter into work.runInstall
This command modifies the call tree starting at `work.runInstall` to
inject a `State` parameter to every function that is currently using
the global `modload.LoaderState` variable.  By explicilty passing a
`State` parameter, we can begin to eliminate the usage of the global
`modload.LoaderState`.

This commit is part of the overall effort to eliminate global
modloader state.

3f46587fe0 cmd/go: explicitly reject overlays affecting GOMODCACHE
The go command assumes that GOMODCACHE is immutable. As an example of
one place the assumption is made, the modindex won't stat the files in
GOMODCACHE when getting the cache key for the index entry and just uses
the path of the module in the modcache (basically the module's name and
version). Explicitly reject overlays affecting GOMODCACHE to avoid
surprising and incorrect behavior.

201b9f6d6b cmd/go: clarify that -coverpkg uses import paths
This change amends the long-form help output for 'go help build' and
'go help testflag' to specify that the '-coverpkg' flag operates
explicitly on import paths as well as package names. Import paths are
fundamental for precise specification of packages versus unqualified
package names, and the naming of the flag '-coverpkg' and its original
documentation leads a user to assume that it only operates on the
simple, unqualified package name form. The situation warrants
clarification.

The msan feature depends on llvm. The currently released llvm-16
already supports the LoongArch architecture, and msan's support
for LoongArch64 has been added in this patch[1], and it has been
merged in branches main and release/17.x.

96d8d3eb32 cmd/go: handle -C properly during toolchain switches
The -C dir flag was added in Go 1.20.
This CL adds a new restriction: the -C must appear as the first flag on the command line.
This restriction makes finding the -C flag robust and matches the general way
people tend to think about and use the -C flag anyway.
It may break a few scripts that have been written since Go 1.20
but hopefully they will not be hard to find and fix.
(There is no strict compatibility guarantee for the command line.)

For #57001.

or

Introduce Error(error) and Fatal(error) to do this

The new Error gives us the opportunity to unwrap
a multierror and add the go prefix to each line,
which is the motivation for this change.

6c024a4cf1 cmd/go/internal/gover: add new Go version package
Clean up Go version comparison.

CL 494436 added an ad hoc version comparison for the toolchain switch.

There are also other version comparisons scattered throughout the code,
assuming that using semver.Compare with a "v" prefix gives the right answer.
As we start to allow versions like "go 1.21rc1" in the go.mod file,
those comparisons will not work properly.

A future CL will need to inject Go versions into semver for use with MVS,
so do what Bryan suggested in the review of CL 494436 and rewrite the
comparison in terms of that conversion.

74502e9bb4 cmd/go: support multiple main packages with -pgo=auto
In -pgo=auto mode, the go command finds a profile named
default.pgo in the main package's directly, and if found, use it
as the profile for the build. Currently we only support a single
main package when -pgo=auto is used.

When multiple main packages are included in a build, they may
have different default profiles (or some have profiles whereas
some don't), so a common dependent package would need to be built
multiple times, with different profiles (or lack of). This CL
handles this. To do so, we need to split (unshare) the dependency
graph so they can attach different profiles.

Fixes #58099.

575964d42c cmd/go: improve handling of os.DevNull on Windows
The "go test" and "go build" commands have special-case behavior when
passed "-o /dev/null". These checks are case-sensitive and assume that
os.DevNull is an absolute path. Windows filesystems are case-insensitive
and os.DevNull is NUL, which is not an absolute path.

CL 145220 changed filepath.IsAbs to report "NUL" as absolute to work
around this issue; that change is being rolled back and a better fix here
is to compare the value of -o against os.DevNull before attempting to
merge it with a base path. Make that fix.

On Windows, accept any capitilization of "NUL" as the null device.

This change doesn't cover every possible name for the null device, such
as "-o //./NUL", but this test is for efficiency rather than correctness.
Accepting just the most common name is fine.

f5d21ffc81 cmd/go: decide whether to install .a based on number of CgoFiles
Instead of hardcoding the set of five packages that depend on cgo to
decide whether a package should have an install target, make the
decision based on whether the package has any CgoFiles. This means that
in nocgo configurations, there will be no installed packages, and that
if an GOOS/GOARCH combination doesn't have cgo files we don't
unnecessarily install a .a.

Because the determination of whether a file is a CgoFile is made later
in the Import functions, the choice of whether to add a PkgObj for teh
case there are CgoFiles is moved later. One concern here is that in some
cases, PkgObj may be set differently in the case of the FindOnly mode,
since the determination is moved across the boundary. We might want
to always set PkgObj after the FindOnly boundary for consistency? cmd/go
doesn't seem to use it when calling Import with FindOnly.

Also remove internal/buildinternal/needs_install.go because we will be
checking whether to install based on the number of cgo files and it
might be overkill to make the NeedsInstalledDotA function be the
equivalent of len(input) > 0.

ef1c70fbde cmd/go: remove the -i build flag
The flag is now removed from `go build` and `go test`.
It has been deprecated since Go 1.16, printing a warning message.
The idea was to fully delete it in Go 1.17, but that didn't happen.

First, delete the BuildI variable and its flag declarations,
as well as all the bits of docs that mentioned the flag.

Second, delete or simplify the code paths that used BuildI.

Third, adapt the tests to the removed flag.
Some of them are removed, like test_relative_import_dash_i.txt and
TestGoTestDashIDashOWritesBinary, as they centered around the flag.
The rest are modified to not cover or use the flag.

Finally, change cmd/dist to no longer use `go install -i`.
The purpose of the flag was that, when bootstrapping the toolchain,
all of its dependencies would also be installed as object files.

When removing the use of the -i flags, the checkNotStale call right
after building toolchain3 would fail as expected,
because runtime/internal/sys is now only up to date in the build cache.

Luckily, that's not a problem: we run `go install std cmd` right after,
so all standard library packages will be installed as object files.
Move the checkNotStale call after that install command.

Fixes #41696.

53773a5d08 cmd/go: support new hybrid coverage instrumentation
If GOEXPERIMENT=coverageredesign is in effect, introduce a new
top-level '-cover' option to "go build" to turn on new-style hybrid
code coverage instrumentation. Similarly, use the new instrumentation
for "go test -cover".

The main effects of "-cover" under the hood are to instrument files at
the package level using cmd/cover and to pass additional options to
the compiler when building instrumented packages.

The previous workflow for "go tool -cover mypkg" would expand to a
series of "go tool cover" commands (one per file) followed by a single
package compilation command to build the rewritten sources.

With the new workflow, the Go command will pass all of the Go files in
a package to the cover tool as a chunk (along with a config file
containing other parameters), then the cover tool will write
instrumented versions of the sources along with another "output"
config with info on coverage variable names for the the compiler. The
Go command will then kick off the compiler on the modified source
files, also passing in the config file generated by cmd/cover.

Updates #51430.

55d96f98ef cmd/go/internal/work: make NewBuilder safe for concurrent and repeated use
Ever since 'go build' was added (in CL 5483069), it has used an atexit
handler to clean up working directories. At some point (prior to CL
95900044), Init was called multiple times per builder, registering
potentially many atexit handlers that execute asynchronously and make
debugging more difficult.

The use of an AtExit handler also makes the Builder (and anything that
uses it) prone to races: the base.AtExit API is not designed for
concurrent use, but cmd/go is becoming increasingly concurrent over
time. The AtExit handler also makes the Builder inappropriate to use
within a unit-test, since the handlers do not run during the test
function and accumulate over time.

This change makes NewBuilder safe for concurrent use by registering
the AtExit handler only once (during BuildInit, which was already not
safe for concurrent use), and using a sync.Map to store the set of
builders that need cleanup in case of an unclean exit. In addition, it
causes the test variant of cmd/go to fail if any Builder instance
leaks from a clean exit, helping to ensure that functions that create
Builders do not leak them indefinitely, especially in tests.

Updates #54423.

d5aa088d82 cmd/go: avoid registering AtExit handlers in tests
Ever since 'go build' was added (in CL 5483069), it has used an atexit
handler to clean up working directories.

CL 154109 introduced 'cc' command to the script test framework that
called Init on a builder once per invocation. Unfortunately, since
base.AtExit is unsynchronized, the Init added there caused any script
that invokes that command to be unsafe for concurrent use.

This change fixes the race by having the 'cc' command pass in its
working directory instead of allowing the Builder to allocate one.
Following modern Go best practices, it also replaces the in-place Init
method (which is prone to typestate and aliasing bugs) with a
NewBuilder constructor function.

Fixes #54423.

1b0f9fbb67 cmd/compile: enable Asan check for global variables
With this patch, -asan option can detect the error memory
access to global variables.

So this patch makes a few changes:

1. Add the asanregisterglobals runtime support function,
which calls asan runtime function _asan_register_globals
to register global variables.

2. Create a new initialization function for the package
being compiled. This function initializes an array of
instrumented global variables and pass it to function
runtime.asanregisterglobals. An instrumented global
variable has trailing redzone.

3. Writes the new size of instrumented global variables
that have trailing redzones into object file.

4. Notice that the current implementation is only compatible with
the ASan library from version v7 to v9. Therefore, using the
-asan option requires that the gcc version is not less than 7
and the clang version is less than 4, otherwise a segmentation
fault will occur. So this patch adds a check on whether the compiler
being used is a supported version in cmd/go.

(This is a redo of CL 401775 with a fix for a build break due to an
intervening commit that removed the internal/execabs package.)

Updates #44853.

f52b4ec63d cmd/compile: enable Asan check for global variables
With this patch, -asan option can detect the error memory
access to global variables.

So this patch makes a few changes:

1. Add the asanregisterglobals runtime support function,
which calls asan runtime function _asan_register_globals
to register global variables.

2. Create a new initialization function for the package
being compiled. This function initializes an array of
instrumented global variables and pass it to function
runtime.asanregisterglobals. An instrumented global
variable has trailing redzone.

3. Writes the new size of instrumented global variables
that have trailing redzones into object file.

4. Notice that the current implementation is only compatible with
the ASan library from version v7 to v9. Therefore, using the
-asan option requires that the gcc version is not less than 7
and the clang version is less than 4, otherwise a segmentation
fault will occur. So this patch adds a check on whether the compiler
being used is a supported version in cmd/go.

Updates #44853.

d922c0a8f5 all: use os/exec instead of internal/execabs
We added internal/execabs back in January 2021 in order to fix
a security problem caused by os/exec's handling of the current
directory. Now that os/exec has that code, internal/execabs is
superfluous and can be deleted.

This commit rewrites all the imports back to os/exec and
deletes internal/execabs.

For #43724.

4569fe6410 cmd/go: allow '-buildvcs=auto' and treat it as the default
When we added VCS stamping in the Go 1.18 release, we defaulted to
-buildvcs=true, on the theory that most folks will actually want VCS
information stamped.

We also made -buildvcs=true error out if a VCS directory is found and
no VCS tool is available, on the theory that a user who builds with
'-buildvcs=true' will be very surprised if the VCS metadata is
silently missing.

However, that causes a problem for CI environments that don't have the
appropriate VCS tool installed. (And we know that's a common situation
because we're in that situation ourselves — see #46693!)

The new '-buildvcs=auto' setting provides a middle ground: it stamps
VCS information by default when the tool is present (and reports
explicit errors if the tool errors out), but omits the metadata
when the tool isn't present at all.

Fixes #51748.
Updates #51999.
