Preparation for fixing issue 5769 (method selectors
do not auto-dereference): The actual fix may require
some cleanups in all these sections, and syntactically,
method expressions and method values are selector
expressions. Moving them next to each other so that
it's easy to see the actual changes (next CL).

No content changes besides the section moves.

'range hash' makes a copy of the hash array in the stack, creating
a very large stack frame. It's just the right amount that it
uses most but not all of the total stack size. If you have a lot
of environment variables, like the builders, then this is too
much and the g0 stack runs out of space.

I changed all the NACL_SYSJMP to NACL_SYSCALL in
an earlier CL, but I missed the fact that NACL_SYSCALL
will push another return PC on the stack, so that the
arguments will no longer be in the right place.

This adds the minimal support for AArch64/arm64 relocations
needed to get cgo to work (when an isomorphic patch is applied
to gccgo) and a test.

This change uses the "AAarch64" name for the architecture rather
than the more widely accepted "arm64" because that's the name that
the relevant docs from ARM such as

NaCl requires the addition of a 32-byte "halt sled" at the end
of the text segment. This means that segtext.len is actually
32 bytes shorter than reality. The computation of the file offset
of the end of the data segment did not take this 32 bytes into
account, so if len and len+32 rounded up (by 64k) to different
values, the symbol table overwrote the last page of the data
segment.

The last page of the data segment is usually the C .string
symbols, which contain the strings used in error prints
by the runtime. So when this happens, your program
probably crashes, and then when it does, you get binary
garbage instead of all the usual prints.

The chance of hitting this with a randomly sized text segment
is 32 in 65536, or 1 in 2048.

If you add or remove ANY code while trying to debug this
problem, you're overwhelmingly likely to bump the text
segment one way or the other and make the bug disappear.

Correct all the computations to use segdata.fileoff+segdata.filelen
instead of trying to rederive segdata.fileoff.

This fixes the failure during the nacl/amd64p32 build.

The NaCl "system calls" were assumed to have a compatible
return convention with the C compiler, and we were using
tail jumps to those functions. Don't do that anymore.

Correct mistake introduced in newstackcall duringconversion
from (SP) to (FP) notation. (Actually this fix, in asm_amd64p32.s,
slipped into the C compiler change, but update the name to
match what go vet wants.)

Correct computation of caller stack pointer in morestack:
on amd64p32, the saved PC is the size of a uintreg, not uintptr.
This may not matter, since it's been like this for a while,
but uintreg is the correct one. (And on non-NaCl they are the same.)

This will allow the NaCl build to get much farther.
It will probably still not work completely.
There's a bug in 6l that needs fixing too.

uintptr or uint64 in the runtime C were turning into uint in the Go,
bool was turning into uint8, and so on. Fix that.

The Go calling convention uses more stack space than C.
On 64-bit systems we've been right up against the limit
(128 bytes, so only 16 words) and doing awful things to
our source code to work around it. Instead of continuing
to do awful things, raise the limit to 160 bytes.
I am prepared to raise the limit to 192 bytes if necessary,
but I think this will be enough.

To date, the C compilers and Go compilers differed only in how
values were returned from functions. This made it difficult to call
Go from C or C from Go if return values were involved. It also made
assembly called from Go and assembly called from C different.

This CL changes the C compiler to use the Go conventions, passing
results on the stack, after the arguments.
[Exception: this does not apply to C ... functions, because you can't
know where on the stack the arguments end.]

By doing this, the CL makes it possible to rewrite C functions into Go
one at a time, without worrying about which languages call that
function or which languages it calls.

This CL also updates all the assembly files in package runtime to use
the new conventions. Argument references of the form 40(SP) have
been rewritten to the form name+10(FP) instead, and there are now
Go func prototypes for every assembly function called from C or Go.
This means that 'go vet runtime' checks effectively every assembly
function, and go vet's output was used to automate the bulk of the
conversion.

Some functions, like seek and nsec on Plan 9, needed to be rewritten.

Many assembly routines called from C were reading arguments
incorrectly, using MOVL instead of MOVQ or vice versa, especially on
the less used systems like openbsd.
These were found by go vet and have been corrected too.
If we're lucky, this may reduce flakiness on those systems.

Tested on:
        darwin/386
        darwin/amd64
        linux/arm
        linux/386
        linux/amd64
If this breaks another system, the bug is almost certainly in the
sys_$GOOS_$GOARCH.s file, since the rest of the CL is tested
by the combination of the above systems.

Every change to g->atomicstatus is now done atomically so that we can
ensure that all gs pass through a gc safepoint on demand. This allows
the GC to move from one phase to the next safely. In some phases the
stack will be scanned. This CL only deals with the infrastructure that
allows g->atomicstatus to go from one state to another. Future CLs
will deal with scanning and monitoring what phase the GC is in.

The major change was to moving to using a Gscan bit to indicate that
the status is in a scan state. The only bug fix was in oldstack where
I wasn't moving to a Gcopystack state in order to block scanning until
the new stack was in place. The proc.go file is waiting for an atomic
load instruction.
