A Value provides an atomic load and store of a consistently typed value.
It's intended to be used with copy-on-write idiom (see the example).

The liblink code to insert the FUNCDATA for a stack map
from the Go prototype was not correct for ARM
(different data structure layout).

Also, sync/atomic was missing some Go prototypes
for ARM-specific functions.

semacquire might need to park the currently running G.  It can
only park if called from the G stack (because it has no way of
saving the M stack state).  So all calls to semacquire must come
from the G stack.

The three violators are GOMAXPROCS, ReadMemStats, and WriteHeapDump.
This change moves the semacquire call earlier, out of their C code
and into their Go code.

This seldom caused bugs because semacquire seldom actually had
to park the caller.  But it did happen intermittently.

If this needs to be turned back off, it should be done
just before the '// in finalizer' comment, not at the top
of the function.

GC is more precise now than it was (the only imprecise

If there is a leading ·, assume there is a Go prototype and
attach the Go prototype information to the function.
If the function is not called from Go and does not need a
Go prototype, it can be made file-local instead (using name<>(SB)).

This fixes the current BSD build failures, by giving functions like
sync/atomic.StoreUint32 argument stack map information.

This is a corner case, and one that was even tested, but this
CL changes the behavior to say that f is "complete" even if it panics.
But don't think of it that way, think of it as sync.Once runs

repeatedly until a run of the function completes.

Now it's two allocations. I don't see much downside to that,
since the two pieces were in different cache lines anyway.

Rename 'conservative' to 'cgo_conservative_type' and make
clear that _cgo_allocate is the only allowed user.

This depends on CL 141490043, which removes the other
use of conservative (in defer).

This makes the GC and the stack copying agree about how
to interpret the defer structures. Previously, only the stack
copying treated them precisely.
This removes an untyped memory allocation and fixes
at least three copystack bugs.

To make sure the GC can find the deferred argument
frame until it has been copied, keep a Defer on the defer list
during its execution.

In addition to making it possible to remove the untyped
memory allocation, keeping the Defer on the list fixes
two races between copystack and execution of defers
(in both gopanic and Goexit). The problem is that once
the defer has been taken off the list, a stack copy that
happens before the deferred arguments have been copied
back to the stack will not update the arguments correctly.
The new tests TestDeferPtrsPanic and TestDeferPtrsGoexit
(variations on the existing TestDeferPtrs) pass now but
failed before this CL.

In addition to those fixes, keeping the Defer on the list
helps correct a dangling pointer error during copystack.
The traceback routines walk the Defer chain to provide
information about where a panic may resume execution.
When the executing Defer was not on the Defer chain
but instead linked from the Panic chain, the traceback
had to walk the Panic chain too. But Panic structs are
on the stack and being updated by copystack.
Traceback's use of the Panic chain while copystack is
updating those structs means that it can follow an
updated pointer and find itself reading from the new stack.
The new stack is usually all zeros, so it sees an incorrect
early end to the chain. The new TestPanicUseStack makes
this happen at tip and dies when adjustdefers finds an
unexpected argp. The new StackCopyPoison mode
causes an earlier bad dereference instead.
By keeping the Defer on the list, traceback can avoid
walking the Panic chain at all,  making it okay for copystack
to update the Panics.

We'd have the same problem for any Defers on the stack.
There was only one: gopanic's dabort. Since we are not
taking the executing Defer off the chain, we can use it
to do what dabort was doing, and then there are no
Defers on the stack ever, so it is okay for traceback to use
the Defer chain even while copystack is executing:
copystack cannot modify the Defer chain.

The C header files are the single point of truth:
every C enum constant Foo is available to Go as _Foo.
Remove or redirect duplicate Go declarations so they
cannot be out of sync.

Eventually we will need to put constants in Go, but for now having
them be out of sync with C is too risky. These predate the build
support for auto-generating Go constants from the C definitions.
