When the linker was written in C, command line arguments were passed
around as null-terminated byte arrays which encouraged checking
characters one at a time. In Go, that can easily lead to
out-of-bounds panics.

Use the more idiomatic strings.HasPrefix when checking cmd/link's -B
argument to avoid the panic, and replace the manual hex decode with
use of the encoding/hex package.

gcMarkRootCheck takes ~10ns per goroutine. This is just a debugging

more likely to go wrong during concurrent mark).

Currently we reset the mark state during STW sweep termination. This
involves looping over all of the goroutines. Each iteration of this
loop takes ~25ns, so at around 400k goroutines, we'll exceed our 10ms
pause goal.

However, it's safe to do this before we stop the world for sweep
termination because nothing is consuming this state yet. Hence, move
the reset to just before STW.

This isn't perfect: a long reset can still delay allocating goroutines
that block on GC starting. But it's certainly better to block some
things eventually than to block everything immediately.

Many read-only strings in Go binaries are substrings of other read-only
strings. A common source is the text form of type information, which
will include both "struct { X int }" and "*struct { X int }" or
"*bytes.Reader" and "func(*bytes.Reader)" in the same binary.

Because this character data is referred to by separate string headers,
we can skip writing the smaller string and modify the pointer
relocation to point to the larger string. This CL does this
deduplication in the linker after the reachable set of strings has
been determined.

This removes 765KB from juju (1.4% without DWARF).

Link time goes at tip goes form 4.6s to 6.3s, but note that this CL

Passing copy==1 to syslook is only necessary to support subsequent

For a couple other syslook calls (makemap and conv[IET]2[IET]), move

cmd/vet's printf checker currently uses a hardcoded map of function
names to expected positions of format strings. We can be a bit more
precise than this by looking up the signature of the function, which
helps when libraries implement functions like Errorf or Logf with
extra arguments like log levels or error codes.

Specifically, the format string param is assumed to be the last string
parameter of the called function.

No extra buffering is needed to save the encoding
since the left padding can be computed and written out
before the encoding is generated.

Add extra tests to both string and byte slice formatting.

The ODOTPTRs introduced in CL #19814 don't have field names,
just offsets.  The fieldtrack experiment crashes when
examining them.  Instead, just ignore them.  We'll never track
these fields anyway.

It would be nice to have the runtime type struct build in the
compiler (like we do sudog, for example) so we could use its
fieldnames.  Doesn't seem worth it just for this CL.

The new Minalign field sets the minimum alignment for all symbols.
This is required for the upcoming s390x port which requires symbols
be 2-byte aligned for efficient relative addressing.

All preexisting architectures have Minalign set to 1 which means
that this commit should have no effect.

I tested values of 2, 4 and 8 on linux amd64 and the tests appear to
pass. Increasing Minalign to 16 appears to break the runtime. I
think this is due to assumptions made about the layout of module
data.

toolstash -cmp on linux amd64 shows no changes due to this commit.

Resolves #14604

This change consolidates functions and methods related to TCPAddr,
TCPConn and TCPListener for maintenance purpose, especially for
documentation. Also refactors Dial error code paths.

The followup changes will update comments and examples.

Updates #10624.
