This CL is an aggregate of 10271047, 10499043, 9733044. Descriptions of each follow: 10499043 runtime,cmd/ld: Merge TLS symbols and teach 5l about ARM TLS This CL prepares for external linking support to ARM. The pseudo-symbols runtime.g and runtime.m are merged into a single runtime.tlsgm symbol. When external linking, the offset of a thread local variable is stored at a memory location instead of being embedded into a offset of a ldr instruction. With a single runtime.tlsgm symbol for both g and m, only one such offset is needed. The larger part of this CL moves TLS code from gcc compiled to internally compiled. The TLS code now uses the modern MRC instruction, and 5l is taught about TLS fallbacks in case the instruction is not available or appropriate. 10271047 This CL adds support for -linkmode external to 5l. For 5l itself, use addrel to allow for D_CALL relocations to be handled by the host linker. Of the cases listed in rsc's comment in issue 4069, only case 5 and 63 needed an update. One of the TODO: addrel cases was since replaced, and the rest of the cases are either covered by indirection through addpool (cases with LTO or LFROM flags) or stubs (case 74). The addpool cases are covered because addpool emits AWORD instructions, which in turn are handled by case 11. In the runtime, change the argv argument in the rt0* functions slightly to be a pointer to the argv list, instead of relying on a particular location of argv. 9733044 The -shared flag to 6l outputs a shared library, implemented in Go and callable from non-Go programs such as C. The main part of this CL change the thread local storage model. Go uses the fastest and least general mode, local exec. TLS data in shared libraries normally requires at least the local dynamic mode, however, this CL instead opts for using the initial exec mode. Initial exec mode is faster than local dynamic mode and can be used in linux since the linker has reserved a limited amount of TLS space for performance sensitive TLS code. Initial exec mode requires an extra load from the GOT table to determine the TLS offset. This penalty will not be paid if ld is not in -shared mode, since TLS accesses will be reduced to local exec. The elf sections .init_array and .rela.init_array are added to register the Go runtime entry with cgo at library load time. The "hidden" attribute is added to Cgo functions called from Go, since Go does not generate call through the GOT table, and adding non-GOT relocations for a global function is not supported by gcc. Cgo symbols don't need to be global and avoiding the GOT table is also faster. The changes to 8l are only removes code relevant to the old -shared mode where internal linking was used. This CL only address the low level linker work. It can be submitted by itself, but to be useful, the runtime changes in CL 9738047 is also needed.

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
