Not sure why they used empty.s and all these other
packages were special cased in cmd/go instead.
Add them to the list.

This avoids problems with net .s files being compiled
with gcc in cgo mode and gcc not supporting // comments
on ARM.

Not a problem with bytes, but be consistent.

Should fix the Windows build. Untested.

on Windows, args are made by src/os/exec_windows.go, not package runtime.
runtime·goargs has if(Windows) return;

The two init funcs in pkg os were conflicting, with the second
overwriting Args back to an empty slice.

In linker, refuse to write conservative (array of pointers) as the
garbage collection type for any variable in the data/bss GC program.

In the linker, attach the Go type to an already-read C declaration
during dedup. This gives us Go types for C globals for free as long
as the cmd/dist-generated Go code contains the declaration.
(Most runtime C declarations have a corresponding Go declaration.
Both are bss declarations and so the linker dedups them.)

In cmd/dist, add a few more C files to the auto-Go-declaration list
in order to get Go type information for the C declarations into the linker.

In C compiler, mark all non-pointer-containing global declarations
and all string data as NOPTR. This allows them to exist in C files
without any corresponding Go declaration. Count C function pointers
as "non-pointer-containing", since we have no heap-allocated C functions.

In runtime, add NOPTR to the remaining pointer-containing declarations,
none of which refer to Go heap objects.

In runtime, also move os.Args and syscall.envs data into runtime-owned
variables. Otherwise, in programs that do not import os or syscall, the
runtime variables named os.Args and syscall.envs will be missing type
information.

I believe that this CL eliminates the final source of conservative GC scanning
in non-SWIG Go programs, and therefore...

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.

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.
