Normally, the caller to runtime.entersyscall() must not return before
calling runtime.exitsyscall(), lest g->syscallsp become a dangling
pointer. runtime.cgocallbackg() violates this constraint. To work around
this, save g->syscallsp and g->syscallpc around cgo->Go callbacks, then
restore them after calling runtime.entersyscall(), which restores the
syscall stack frame pointer saved by cgocall. This allows the GC to
correctly trace a goroutine that is currently returning from a
Go->cgo->Go chain.

This also adds a check to proc.c that panics if g->syscallsp is clearly
invalid. It is not 100% foolproof, as it will not catch a case where the
stack was popped then pushed back beyond g->syscallsp, but it does catch
the present cgo issue and makes existing tests fail without the bugfix.

Fixes #7978.

There were at least two bugs:
1) It would overwrite a non-archive.
2) It would truncate a non-archive and then fail.
In general the file handling was too clever to be correct.
Make it more straightforward, doing the creation
separately from archive management.

Previously, signed and unsigned integers could not be compared, but
this has problems with things like comparing 'x' with a byte in a string.
Since signed and unsigned integers have a well-defined ordering,
even though their types are different, and since we already allow
comparison regardless of the size of the integers, why not allow it
regardless of the sign?

Integers only, a fine place to draw the line.

This test is testing bad pointers.  It loads the bad pointer into a pointer variable,
but before it gets a chance to dereference it, calls convT2E.  That call causes a stack copy,
which exposes that live but bad pointer variable.

CL 144940043 renamed it from Sched to SchedType
to avoid a lowercasing conflict in the Go code with
the variable named sched.
We've been using just T resolve those conflicts, not Type.

The FooType pattern is already taken for the kind-specific
variants of the runtime Type structure: ChanType, MapType,
and so on. SchedType isn't a Type.

Update #8690

If liblink determines that the host doesn't support TLS it replaces the MRC call with a BL runtime.tls_read_fallback. The problem is save_g doesn't expect anyone to make any BL calls and hasn't setup its own link register properly so when runtime.tls_read_fallback returns the LR points to save_g, not save_g's caller so the RET at the end of the function turns into an infinite loop.

This fix is only a proof of concept, I think the real fix should go into liblink as its MRC substitution is not as transparent as expected.
