This is bad for 2 reasons:
1. if the code under lock ever grows stack,
it will deadlock as stack growing acquires mheap lock.
2. It currently deadlocks with SetCPUProfileRate:
scavenger locks mheap, receives prof signal and tries to lock prof lock;
meanwhile SetCPUProfileRate locks prof lock and tries to grow stack
(presumably in runtime.unlock->futexwakeup). Boom.

I suspect that it can happen on any stack split.
So don't unwind g0 stack.

There are fields in the Addr that do not matter for the
purpose of deciding that the same word is already
in the current literal pool. Copy only the fields that
do matter.

This came up when comparing against the Go version
because the way it is invoked doesn't copy a few fields
(like node) that are never directly used by liblink itself.

Also remove a stray print that is not well-defined in
the new liblink. (Cannot use %D outside of %P, because
%D needs the outer Prog*.)

Currently they are scanned conservatively.
But there is no reason to scan them. C world must not contain
pointers into Go heap. Moreover, we don't have enough information
to emit write barriers nor update pointers there in future.

these are weird symbols as if with pointers but not necessary

In the runtime, we want to control where allocations happen.
In particular, we don't want the code implementing malloc to
itself trigger a malloc.  This change prevents the compiler
from inserting mallocs on our behalf (due to escaping declarations).

This check does not trigger on the current runtime code.

Note: Composite literals are still allowed.

This is more useful than panicking, since otherwise every caller needs
to do the length check before calling; some will forget, and have a
potential submarine crasher as a result. Other implementations of this
functionality do a length check.

This is backward compatible, except if someone has written code that
relies on this panicking with different length args. However, that was
not the case before Go 1.3 either.

In both cases we lie to malloc about the actual size that we need.
In panic we ask for less memory than we are going to use.
In slice we ask for more memory than we are going to use
(potentially asking for a fractional number of elements).
This breaks the new GC.
