    unix: fix errors in syscalls when using -linkshared on ppc64x · 7155702f
    Lynn Boger authored
    When using -linkshared, the external linker on ppc64x cannot
    always handle the direct branch to syscall.Syscall and similar
    similar functions when the offset is too far. Instead it should
    be done as a BL which can then be called through a procedure
    linkage table entry.
    
    This change removes functions Syscall, Syscall6,
    RawSyscall, RawSyscall6 from asm_linux_ppc64x.s and instead
    creates Go functions which call their corresponding
    functions in the syscall package. As Go functions, they can be
    inlined with the help of CL 147361.
    
    Fixes golang/go#16662
