2014-11-11[dev.cc] runtime: convert operating system support code from C to GoRuss Cox
The conversion was done with an automated tool and then modified only as necessary to make it compile and run. [This CL is part of the removal of C code from package runtime. See golang.org/s/dev.cc for an overview.] LGTM=r R=r CC=austin, dvyukov, golang-codereviews, iant, khr https://golang.org/cl/174830044
2014-09-09runtime: assume precisestack, copystack, StackCopyAlways, ScanStackByFramesRuss Cox
Commit to stack copying for stack growth. We're carrying around a surprising amount of cruft from older schemes. I am confident that precise stack scans and stack copying are here to stay. Delete fallback code for when precise stack info is disabled. Delete fallback code for when copying stacks is disabled. Delete fallback code for when StackCopyAlways is disabled. Delete Stktop chain - there is only one stack segment now. Delete M.moreargp, M.moreargsize, M.moreframesize, M.cret. Delete G.writenbuf (unrelated, just dead). Delete runtime.lessstack, runtime.oldstack. Delete many amd64 morestack variants. Delete initialization of morestack frame/arg sizes (shortens split prologue!). Replace G's stackguard/stackbase/stack0/stacksize/ syscallstack/syscallguard/forkstackguard with simple stack bounds (lo, hi). Update liblink, runtime/cgo for adjustments to G.

2014-09-08liblink, runtime: diagnose and fix C code running on Go stackRuss Cox
This CL contains compiler+runtime changes that detect C code running on Go (not g0, not gsignal) stacks, and it contains corrections for what it detected. The detection works by changing the C prologue to use a different stack guard word in the G than Go prologue does. On the g0 and gsignal stacks, that stack guard word is set to the usual stack guard value. But on ordinary Go stacks, that stack guard word is set to ^0, which will make any stack split check fail. The C prologue then calls morestackc instead of morestack, and morestackc aborts the program with a message about running C code on a Go stack. This check catches all C code running on the Go stack except NOSPLIT code. The NOSPLIT code is allowed, so the check is complete. Since it is a dynamic check, the code must execute to be caught. But unlike the static checks we've been using in cmd/ld, the dynamic check works with function pointers and other indirect calls. For example it caught sigpanic being pushed onto Go stacks in the signal handlers. Fixes #8667. LGTM=khr, iant R=golang-codereviews, khr, iant CC=golang-codereviews, r https://golang.org/cl/133700043
2014-09-08build: move package sources from src/pkg to srcRuss Cox
Preparation was in CL 134570043. This CL contains only the effect of 'hg mv src/pkg/* src'. For more about the move, see golang.org/s/go14nopkg.
