      liblink: introduce TLS register on 386 and amd64 · 90093f06
      Russ Cox authored 
      When I did the original 386 ports on Linux and OS X, I chose to
define GS-relative expressions like 4(GS) as relative to the actual
thread-local storage base, which was usually GS but might not be
(it might be FS, or it might be a different constant offset from GS or FS).

The original scope was limited but since then the rewrites have
gotten out of control. Sometimes GS is rewritten, sometimes FS.
Some ports do other rewrites to enable shared libraries and
other linking. At no point in the code is it clear whether you are
looking at the real GS/FS or some synthesized thing that will be
rewritten. The code manipulating all these is duplicated in many
places.

The first step to fixing issue 7719 is to make the code intelligible
again.

This CL adds an explicit TLS pseudo-register to the 386 and amd64.
As a register, TLS refers to the thread-local storage base, and it
can only be loaded into another register:

        MOVQ TLS, AX

An offset from the thread-local storage base is written off(reg)(TLS*1).
Semantically it is off(reg), but the (TLS*1) annotation marks this as
indexing from the loaded TLS base. This emits a relocation so that
if the linker needs to adjust the offset, it can. For example:

        MOVQ TLS, AX
        MOVQ 8(AX)(TLS*1), CX // load m into CX

On systems that support direct access to the TLS memory, this
pair of instructions can be reduced to a direct TLS memory reference:

        MOVQ 8(TLS), CX // load m into CX

The 2-instruction and 1-instruction forms correspond roughly to
ELF TLS initial exec mode and ELF TLS local exec mode, respectively.

Liblink applies this rewrite on systems that support the 1-instruction form.
The decision is made using only the operating system (and probably
the -shared flag, eventually), not the link mode. If some link modes
on a particular operating system require the 2-instruction form,
then all builds for that operating system will use the 2-instruction
form, so that the link mode decision can be delayed to link time.

Obviously it is late to be making changes like this, but I despair
of correcting issue 7719 and issue 7164 without it. To make sure
I am not changing existing behavior, I built a "hello world" program
for every GOOS/GOARCH combination we have and then worked
to make sure that the rewrite generates exactly the same binaries,
byte for byte. There are a handful of TODOs in the code marking
kludges to get the byte-for-byte property, but at least now I can
explain exactly how each binary is handled.

The targets I tested this way are:

        darwin-386
        darwin-amd64
        dragonfly-386
        dragonfly-amd64
        freebsd-386
        freebsd-amd64
        freebsd-arm
        linux-386
        linux-amd64
        linux-arm
        nacl-386
        nacl-amd64p32
        netbsd-386
        netbsd-amd64
        openbsd-386
        openbsd-amd64
        plan9-386
        plan9-amd64
        solaris-amd64
        windows-386
        windows-amd64

There were four exceptions to the byte-for-byte goal:

windows-386 and windows-amd64 have a time stamp
at bytes 137 and 138 of the header.

darwin-386 and plan9-386 have five or six modified
bytes in the middle of the Go symbol table, caused by
editing comments in runtime/sys_{darwin,plan9}_386.s.

Fixes #7164.

      runtime: fix program termination when main goroutine calls Goexit · 55e0f36f
      Dmitriy Vyukov authored 
      Do not consider idle finalizer/bgsweep/timer goroutines as doing something useful.
We can't simply set isbackground for the whole lifetime of the goroutines,
because when finalizer goroutine calls user function, we do want to consider it
as doing something useful.
This is borken due to timers for quite some time.
With background sweep is become even more broken.
Fixes #7784.
