      runtime: make NetBSD lwp_park use monotonic time · 66fcf454
      Christos Zoulas authored
      This change updates runtime.semasleep to no longer call
      runtime.nanotime and instead calls lwp_park with a duration to sleep
      relative to the monotonic clock, so the nanotime is never called.
      (This requires updating to a newer version of the lwp_park system
      call, which is safe, because Go 1.10 will require the unreleased
      NetBSD 8+ anyway)
      
      Additionally, this change makes the nanotime function use the
      monotonic clock for netbsd/arm, which was forgotten from
      https://golang.org/cl/81135 which updated netbsd/amd64 and netbsd/386.
      
      Because semasleep previously depended on nanotime, the past few days
      of netbsd have likely been unstable because lwp_park was then mixing
      the monotonic and wall clocks. After this CL, lwp_park no longer
      depends on nanotime.

      os: calling Fd disables the SetDeadline methods · 41534957
      Ian Lance Taylor authored
      The full truth seems too complicated to write in this method's doc, so
      I'm going with a simple half truth.
      
      The full truth is that Fd returns the descriptor in blocking mode,
      because that is historically how it worked, and existing programs
      would be surprised if the descriptor is suddenly non-blocking. On Unix
      systems whether a file is non-blocking or not is a property of the
      underlying file description, not of a particular file descriptor, so
      changing the returned descriptor to blocking mode also changes the
      existing File to blocking mode. Blocking mode works fine, althoug I/O
      operations now take up a thread. SetDeadline and friends rely on the
      runtime poller, and the runtime poller only works if the descriptor is
      non-blocking. So it's correct that calling Fd disables SetDeadline.
      The other half of the truth is that if the program is willing to work
      with a non-blocking descriptor, it could call
      syscall.SetNonblock(descriptor, true) to change the descriptor, and
      the original File, to non-blocking mode. At that point SetDeadline
      would start working again. I tried to write that in a way that is
      short and comprehensible but failed. Since deadlines mostly work on
      pipes, and there isn't much reason to call Fd on a pipe, and few
      people use SetDeadline, I decided to punt.
      
      Fixes #22934
