The current heap sampling introduces some bias that interferes
with unsampling, producing unexpected heap profiles.
The solution is to use a Poisson process to generate the
sampling points, using the formulas described at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_process
This fixes#12620

This makes it easier to experiment with alternative implementations.
While we're here, update the comments.
No functional changes. Passes toolstash -cmp.

Removes a potential data race between os.Setenv and runtime.GOROOT,
along with a bug where os.Setenv would only sometimes change the
value of runtime.GOROOT.

This cleanup was slated for after the conversion of the runtime to Go.
Also improve type and function documentation.

Currently, if we do an atomic{load,store}64 of an unaligned address on
386, we'll simply get a non-atomic load/store. This has been the
source of myriad bugs, so add alignment checks to these two
operations. These checks parallel the equivalent checks in
sync/atomic.
The alignment check is not necessary in cas64 because it uses a locked
instruction. The CPU will either execute this atomically or raise an
alignment fault (#AC)---depending on the alignment check flag---either
of which is fine.
This also fixes the two places in the runtime that trip the new
checks. One is in the runtime self-test and shouldn't have caused
real problems. The other is in tickspersecond and could, in
principle, have caused a misread of the ticks per second during
initialization.

Replace with uses of //go:linkname in Go files, direct use of name in .s files.
The only one that really truly needs a jump is reflect.call; the jump is now
next to the runtime.reflectcall assembly implementations.

This is the last system-dependent file written by cmd/dist.
They are all now written by go generate.
cmd/dist is not needed to start building package runtime
for a different system anymore.
Now all the generated files can be assumed generated, so
delete the clumsy hacks in cmd/api.
Re-enable api check in run.bash.

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...
Fixes#909.

Now it's two allocations. I don't see much downside to that,
since the two pieces were in different cache lines anyway.
Rename 'conservative' to 'cgo_conservative_type' and make
clear that _cgo_allocate is the only allowed user.
This depends on CL 141490043, which removes the other
use of conservative (in defer).
