Reader.Discard is the complement to Peek. It discards the next n bytes
of input.

We already have Reader.Buffered to see how many bytes of data are
sitting available in memory, and Reader.Peek to get that that buffer
directly. But once you're done with the Peek'd data, you can't get rid
of it, other than Reading it.
Both Read and io.CopyN(ioutil.Discard, bufReader, N) are relatively
slow. People instead resort to multiple blind ReadByte calls, just to
advance the internal b.r variable.

I've wanted this previously, several people have asked for it in the
past on golang-nuts/dev, and somebody just asked me for it again in a
private email. There are a few places in the standard library we'd use
it too.

sysReserve doesn't actually reserve the full amount requested on
64-bit systems, because of problems with ulimit. Instead it checks
that it can get the first 64 kB and assumes it can grab the rest as
needed. This doesn't work well with the "let the kernel pick an address"

There are two methods by which TLS clients signal the renegotiation
extension: either a special cipher suite value or a TLS extension.

It appears that I left debugging code in when I landed support for the
extension because there's a "+ 1" in the switch statement that shouldn't
be there.

The effect of this is very small, but it will break Firefox if
security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation is enabled in about:config.
(Although almost nobody does this.)

This change fixes the original bug and adds a test. Sadly the test is a
little complex because there's no OpenSSL s_client option that mirrors
that behaviour of require_safe_negotiation.

First, call clearcheckmarks immediately after changing checkmark,
so that there is less time when the checkmark flag and the bitmap
are inconsistent. The tiny gap between the two lines is fine, because
the world is stopped. Before, the gap was much larger and included
such code as "go bgsweep()", which allocated.

Second, modify gcphase only when the world is stopped.
As written, gcscan_m was changing gcphase from 0 to GCscan
and back to 0 while other goroutines were running.
Another goroutine running at the same time might decide to
sleep, see GCscan, call gcphasework, and start "helping" by
scanning its stack. That's fine, except that if gcphase flips back
to 0 as the goroutine calls scanblock, it will start draining the
work buffers prematurely.

Both of these were found wbshadow=2 (and a lot of hard work).
Eventually that will run automatically, but right now it still
doesn't quite work for all.bash, due to mmap conflicts with

Add write barrier to atomic operations manipulating pointers.

In general an atomic write of a pointer word may indicate racy accesses,
so there is no strictly safe way to attempt to keep the shadow copy
in sync with the real one. Instead, mark the shadow copy as not used.

Redirect sync/atomic pointer routines back to the runtime ones,
so that there is only one copy of the write barrier and shadow logic.
In time we might consider doing this for most of the sync/atomic
functions, but for now only the pointer routines need that treatment.

The Gobuf.g goroutine pointer is almost always updated by assembly code.
In one of the few places it is updated by Go code - func save - it must be
treated as a uintptr to avoid a write barrier being emitted at a bad time.
Instead of figuring out how to emit the write barriers missing in the
assembly manipulation, change the type of the field to uintptr, so that
it does not require write barriers at all.

Goroutine structs are published in the allg list and never freed.
That will keep the goroutine structs from being collected.
There is never a time that Gobuf.g's contain the only references
to a goroutine: the publishing of the goroutine in allg comes first.

Goroutine pointers are also kept in non-GC-visible places like TLS,
so I can't see them ever moving. If we did want to start moving data
in the GC, we'd need to allocate the goroutine structs from an
alternate arena. This CL doesn't make that problem any worse.

This is the detection code. It works well enough that I know of
a handful of missing write barriers. However, those are subtle
enough that I'll address them in separate followup CLs.

GODEBUG=wbshadow=1 checks for a write that bypassed the
write barrier at the next write barrier of the same word.
If a bug can be detected in this mode it is typically easy to
understand, since the crash says quite clearly what kind of
word has missed a write barrier.

GODEBUG=wbshadow=2 adds a check of the write barrier
shadow copy during garbage collection. Bugs detected at
garbage collection can be difficult to understand, because
there is no context for what the found word means.
Typically you have to reproduce the problem with allocfreetrace=1
in order to understand the type of the badly updated word.
