The initialization of an ATEXT Prog's From.Sym
can race with the assemblers in a concurrent compiler.
CL 40254 contains an initial, failed attempt to
fix that race.

This CL takes a different approach: Rather than
expose an API to initialize the Prog,
expose an API to initialize the Sym.

The initialization of the Sym can then be
moved earlier in the compiler, avoiding the race.

The growth of gc.Func has negligible
performance impact; see below.

Passes toolstash -cmp.

Prior to this CL, flags such as NOSPLIT
on ATEXT Progs were stored in From3.Offset.
Some but not all of those flags were also
duplicated into From.Sym.Attribute.

This CL migrates all of those flags into
From.Sym.Attribute and stops creating a From3.

A side-effect of this is that printing an
ATEXT Prog can no longer simply dump From3.Offset.
That's kind of good, since the raw flag value
wasn't very informative anyway, but it did
necessitate a bunch of updates to the cmd/asm tests.

The reason I'm doing this work now is that
avoiding storing flags in both From.Sym and From3.Offset
simplifies some other changes to fix the data
race first described in CL 40254.

This CL almost passes toolstash-check -all.
The only changes are in cases where the assembler
has decided that a function's flags may be altered,
e.g. to make a function with no calls in it NOSPLIT.
Prior to this CL, that information was not printed.

Currently, dist allows GOOS and GOARCH to appear as *any* substring in
a file name when selecting source files to go into go_bootstrap. This
was necessary prior to Go 1.4, where it needed to match names like
"windows.c", but now it's gratuitously different from go/build. This
led to a bug chase to figure out why "stubs_nonlinux.go" was not being
built on non-Linux OSes.

Change shouldbuild to require an "_" before the GOOS and GOARCH in a
file name. This is still less strict than go/build, but the behavior
is much closer.

Currently CallersFrames expands each PC to a slice of Frames and then
iteratively returns those Frames. However, this makes it very
difficult to avoid heap allocation: either the Frames slice will be
heap allocated, or, if it uses internal scratch space for small slices
(as it currently does), the Frames object itself has to be heap
allocated.

Fix this, at least in the common case, by expanding each PC
iteratively. We introduce a new pcExpander type that's responsible for
expanding a single PC. This maintains state from one Frame to the next
in the same PC. Frames then becomes a wrapper around this responsible
for feeding it the next PC when the pcExpander runs out of frames for
the current PC.

This makes it possible to stack-allocate a Frames object, which will
make it possible to use this API for PC expansion from within the
runtime itself.

When casting an ideal to complex{64,128}, for example during the
evaluation of

  var a = complex64(0) / 1e-50

we want the compiler to report a division-by-zero error if a divisor
would be zero after the cast.

We already do this for floats; for example

  var b = float32(0) / 1e-50

generates a 'division by zero' error at compile time (because
float32(1e-50) is zero, and the cast is done before performing the
division).

There's no such check in the path for complex{64,128} expressions, and
no cast is performed before the division in the evaluation of

  var a = complex64(0) / 1e-50

which compiles just fine.

This patch changes the convlit1 function so that complex ideals
components (real and imag) are correctly truncated to float{32,64}
when doing an ideal -> complex{64, 128} cast.

A recent performance improvement for PPC64.rules introduced a
regression for the case where the size of a move is <= 8 bytes
and the value used in the offset field of the instruction is not
aligned correctly for the instruction. In the cases where this happened,
the assembler was not detecting the incorrect offset and still generated
the instruction even though it was invalid.

This fix changes the PPC64.rules for the moves that are now failing
to include the correct alignment checks, along some additional testcases
for gc/ssa for the failing alignments.

I will add a fix to the assembler to detect incorrect offsets in
another CL.

Continues outside of a loop are not allowed. Most of these possibilities
were tested in label1.go, but one was missing - a plain continue in a
switch/select but no enclosing loop.

This used to error with a "continue not in loop" in 1.8, but recently
was broken by c03e75e5. In particular, innerloop does not only account
for loops, but also for switches and selects. Swap it by bools that
track whether breaks and continues should be allowed.

While at it, improve the wording of errors for breaks that are not where
they should be. Change "loop" by "loop, switch, or select" since they
can be used in any of those.

And add tests to make sure this isn't broken again. Use a separate func
since I couldn't get the compiler to crash on f() itself, possibly due
to the recursive call on itself.

CL 39922 made the arm assembler concurrency-safe.
This CL does the same, but for ppc64.
The approach is similar: introduce ctxt9 to hold
function-local state and thread it through
the assembler as necessary.

One race remains after this CL, similar to CL 40252.

That race is conceptually unrelated to this refactoring,
and will be addressed in a separate CL.

Passes toolstash-check -all.

This CL does the same, but for arm64.
The approach is similar: introduce ctxt7 to hold

One race remains after this CL, deep in aclass,
in the check that a Prog does not take the address
of a TLS variable.

The hardware divider is an optional component of ARMv7. This patch
detects whether it is available in runtime and use it or not.

1. The hardware divider is detected at startup and a flag is set/clear
   according to a perticular bit of runtime.hwcap.
2. Each call of runtime.udiv will check this flag and decide if
   use the hardware division instruction.

A rough test shows the performance improves 40-50% for ARMv7. And
the compatibility of ARMv5/v6 is not broken.

Current code could return a non-nil os.FileInfo even if there is an error.
This is a bit incompatible with Stat on other OSes.

This makes the core Flushplist loop clearer.

We may also want to move the Sym initialization
much earlier in the compiler (see discussion on
CL 40254), for which this paves the way.

While we're here, eliminate package log in favor of ctxt.Diag.

Passes toolstash-check -all.

Changing mheap_.arena_used requires several steps that are currently
repeated multiple times in mheap_.sysAlloc. Consolidate these into a
single function.

In the future, this will also make it easier to add other auxiliary VM
structures.
