Since CL 115060044, mkanames declares an empty
array in anames8.c and anames6.c, which is not
valid for the Plan 9 compiler.

char* cnames8[] = {
};

This change makes mkanames not declaring the
cnames array when no C_ constants are found.

The manpages says SA_RESTORER is obsolete, and indeed, not every architecture
support it. However, sadly it's required on x86_64, see http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/kernel/signal.c?id=26bcd8b72563b4c54892c4c2a409f6656fb8ae8b#n430, so only use it on x86.

XOR %rax, %rax. If an operand register does not
need REX.w bit (i.e. not one of R8-R15), it is

Instead of immediately completing pointer type mappings, add them to
a queue to allow them to be completed later.  This fixes issues	caused

Instead of including <sys/types.h> to get size_t, instead include
the ISO C standard <stddef.h> header, which defines fewer additional
types at risk of colliding with the user code.  In particular, this
prevents collisions between <sys/types.h>'s userspace definitions with
the kernel definitions needed by defs_linux.go.

Also, -cdefs mode uses #pragma pack, so we can keep misaligned fields.

Fixes #8477.

Update #6677

When a struct contains an anonymous union, use the type and
name of the first field in the union.

This should make the glibc <sys/resource.h> file work; in that
file struct rusage has fields like

__extension__ union
{
        long int ru_maxrss;
        __syscall_slong_t __ru_maxrss_word;
};

in which the field that matters is ru_maxrss and
__ru_maxrss_word just exists to advance to the next field on
systems where the kernel uses long long fields but userspace
expects long fields.

We call scanblock for lots of small root pieces
e.g. for every stack frame args and locals area.
Every scanblock invocation calls getempty/putempty,
which accesses lock-free stack shared among all worker threads.
One-element local cache allows most scanblock calls
to proceed without accessing the shared stack.

Breaks Camlistore by introducing a datarace. See comments on
https://golang.org/cl/95760043/ for details.

I'll add a new test to lock-in the current behavior in a
subsequent CL.

I don't think Camlistore is particularly unique here: it's doing
the obvious thing to stream a multipart body to a server
using a goroutine feeding the multipart writer.

Technically a language change, this cleanup is a completely
backward compatible change that brings the boolean results
of comma-ok expressions in line with the boolean results of
comparisons: they are now all untyped booleans.

The implementation effort should be minimal (less than a
handfull lines of code, depending how well factored the
implementation of comma-ok expressions is).
