The original conversion in CL 132090043 cut up
the function in an attempt to avoid converting most
of the code to Go. This contorts the control flow.

While debugging the onM signal stack bug,
I reconverted sigqueue.goc in its entirety.
This restores the original control flow, which is
much easier to understand.

The current conversion is correct, it's just complex
and will be hard to maintain. The new one is as
readable as the original code.

I uploaded sigqueue.goc as the initial copy of
sigqueue.go in the CL, so if you view the diffs
of sigqueue.go comparing against patch set 2 [sic]
it will show the actual starting point.

The arm5 build breakage at CL 139110043 was caused by
calling funcPC on a lessstack defined as a struct{}.
That symbol ended up with a non-4-aligned address,
which caused the memory fault that broke the builders.
The definition of lessstack was fixed in CL 140880043.

Tracking that down suggested that it would be worth
looking for the same bug elsewhere in the directory.

The implementation and use patterns of onM assume
that they run on either the m->curg or m->g0 stack.

Calling onM from m->gsignal has two problems:

(1) When not on g0, onM switches to g0 and then "back" to curg.
If we didn't start at curg, bad things happen.

(2) The use of scalararg/ptrarg to pass C arguments and results
assumes that there is only one onM call at a time.
If a gsignal starts running, it may have interrupted the
setup/teardown of the args for an onM on the curg or g0 stack.
Using scalararg/ptrarg itself would smash those.

We can fix (1) by remembering what g was running before the switch.

We can fix (2) by requiring that uses of onM that might happen
on a signal handling stack must save the old scalararg/ptrarg
and restore them after the call, instead of zeroing them.
The only sane way to do this is to introduce a separate
onM_signalsafe that omits the signal check, and then if you
see a call to onM_signalsafe you know the surrounding code
must preserve the old scalararg/ptrarg values.
(The implementation would be that onM_signalsafe just calls
fn if on the signal stack or else jumps to onM. It's not necessary
to have two whole copies of the function.)

(2) is not a problem if the caller and callee are both Go and
a closure is used instead of the scalararg/ptrarg slots.

For now, I think we can avoid calling onM from code executing
on gsignal stacks, so just reject it.

In the long term, (2) goes away (as do the scalararg/ptrarg slots)
once everything is in Go, and at that point fixing (1) would be
trivial and maybe worth doing just for regularity.

Instead of making asmcgocall call asmcgocall_errno,
make both load args into registers and call a shared
assembly function.

On amd64, this costs 1 word in the asmcgocall_errno path
but saves 3 words in the asmcgocall path, and the latter
is what happens on critical nosplit paths on Windows.

On arm, this fixes build failures: asmcgocall was writing
the arguments for asmcgocall_errno into the wrong
place on the stack. Passing them in registers avoids the
decision entirely.

On 386, this isn't really needed, since the nosplit paths
have twice as many words to work with, but do it for consistency.

It is fundamentally unsafe to grow the stack once someone
has made a call to syscall.Syscall. That function takes 6 uintptr
arguments, but depending on the call some are pointers.
In fact, some might be pointers to stack values, and we don't know which.
That makes it impossible to copy the stack somewhere else.
Since we want to delete all the stack splitting code, relying only
on stack copying, make sure that Syscall never needs to split the stack.

The only thing Syscall does is:
        call entersyscall
        make the system call
        call exitsyscall

As long as we make sure that entersyscall and exitsyscall
can live in the nosplit region, they won't ask for more stack.

Do this by making entersyscall and exitsyscall set up the
stack guard so that any call to a function with a split check
will cause a crash. Then move non-essential slow-path
work onto the m stack using onM and mark the rest of the
work nosplit. The linker will verify that the chain of nosplits
fits in the total nosplit budget.

Because symtab.c was partially converted before,
the diffs are not terribly useful.

The earlier conversion was trying to refactor or
clean up the code in addition to doing the translation.
It also made a mistake by redefining Func to be something
users could overwrite.

I undid those changes, making symtab.go a more
literal line-for-line translation of symtab.c instead.
