      go/types: don't export gcCompatibilityMode flag · d3e8a361
      Robert Griesemer authored 
      This flag is not needed in the std repo because we don't have
tests requiring it. Remove it before it's frozen into the API.

      cmd/link: when reading symbols from a shared library, allow duplicates when they are both in bss · a5f57d79
      Michael Hudson-Doyle authored 
      This makes the behaviour match what happens when duplicate symbols are read
from regular object files and fixes errors about cgoAlwaysFalse when linking
an executable that uses cgo against a shared library.

      os: skip TestHostname on Plan 9 · b1be1217
      David du Colombier authored 
      TestHostname was re-enabled in CL 10753.
However, on Plan 9 the hostname is not obtained
by executing a "hostname" command, but by reading
the #c/sysname file.

      runtime: account for stack guard when shrinking the stack · 7387121d
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently, when shrinkstack computes whether the halved stack
allocation will have enough room for the stack, it accounts for the
stack space that's actively in use but fails to leave extra room for
the stack guard space. As a result, *if* the minimum stack size is
small enough or the guard large enough, it may shrink the stack and
leave less than enough room to run nosplit functions. If the next
function called after the stack shrink is a nosplit function, it may
overflow the stack without noticing and overwrite non-stack memory.

We don't think this is happening under normal conditions right now.
The minimum stack allocation is 2K and the guard is 640 bytes. The
"worst case" stack shrink is from 4K (4048 bytes after stack barrier
array reservation) to 2K (2016 bytes after stack barrier array
reservation), which means the largest "used" size that will qualify
for shrinking is 4048/4 - 8 = 1004 bytes. After copying, that leaves
2016 - 1004 = 1012 bytes of available stack, which is significantly
more than the guard space.

If we were to reduce the minimum stack size to 1K or raise the guard
space above 1012 bytes, the logic in shrinkstack would no longer leave
enough space.

It's also possible to trigger this problem by setting
firstStackBarrierOffset to 0, which puts stack barriers in a debug
mode that steals away *half* of the stack for the stack barrier array
reservation. Then, the largest "used" size that qualifies for
shrinking is (4096/2)/4 - 8 = 504 bytes. After copying, that leaves
(2096/2) - 504 = 8 bytes of available stack; much less than the
required guard space. This causes failures like those in issue #11027
because func gc() shrinks its own stack and then immediately calls
casgstatus (a nosplit function), which overflows the stack and
overwrites a free list pointer in the neighboring span. However, since
this seems to require the special debug mode, we don't think it's
responsible for issue #11027.

To forestall all of these subtle issues, this commit modifies
shrinkstack to correctly account for the guard space when considering
whether to halve the stack allocation.
