cmd/internal/goobj: store relocation type as uint16
Currently, relocation type is stored as uint8 in object files, as Go relocations do not exceed 255. In the linker, however, it is used as a 16-bit type, because external relocations can exceed 255. The linker has to store the extra byte in a side table. This complicates many things. Just store it as uint16 in object files. This simplifies things, with a small cost of increasing the object file sizes. before after hello.o 1672 1678 runtime.a 7927784 8056194 Change-Id: I313cf44ad0b8b3b76e35055ae55d911ff35e3158 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/268477 Trust: Cherry Zhang <cherryyz@google.com> Run-TryBot: Cherry Zhang <cherryyz@google.com> TryBot-Result: Go Bot <gobot@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Than McIntosh <thanm@google.com>
