Go 1.14 included a (rather awful) workaround for a Linux kernel bug
that corrupted vector registers on x86 CPUs during signal delivery
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205663). This bug was
introduced in Linux 5.2 and fixed in 5.3.15, 5.4.2 and all 5.5 and
later kernels. The fix was also back-ported by major distros. This
workaround was necessary, but had unfortunate downsides, including
causing Go programs to exceed the mlock ulimit in many configurations
(#37436).
We're reasonably confident that by the Go 1.16 release, the number of
systems running affected kernels will be vanishingly small. Hence,
this CL removes this workaround.
This effectively reverts CLs 209597 (version parser), 209899 (mlock
top of signal stack), 210299 (better failure message), 223121 (soft
mlock failure handling), and 244059 (special-case patched Ubuntu
kernels). The one thing we keep is the osArchInit function. It's empty
everywhere now, but is a reasonable hook to have.
Updates #35326, #35777 (the original register corruption bugs).
Updates #40184 (request to revert in 1.15).
Fixes#35979.

CL 209899 worked around an issue that corrupts vector registers in
recent versions of the Linux kernel by mlocking the top page of every
signal stack on amd64. However, the underlying issue also affects the
XMM registers on 386. This CL applies the mlock fix to both amd64 and
386.
Fixes#35777 (again).

The general code for setting a timespec value sometimes used set_nsec
and sometimes used a combination of set_sec and set_nsec. Standardize
on a setNsec function that takes a number of nanoseconds and splits
them up to set the tv_sec and tv_nsec fields. Consistently mark
setNsec as go:nosplit, since it has to be that way on some systems
including Darwin and GNU/Linux. Consistently use timediv on 32-bit
systems to help stay within split-stack limits on processors that
don't have a 64-bit division instruction.

On Linux, sysUnused currently uses madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) to signal the
kernel that a range of allocated memory contains unneeded data. After a
successful call, the range (but not the data it contained before the
call to madvise) is still available but the first access to that range
will unconditionally incur a page fault (needed to 0-fill the range).
A faster alternative is MADV_FREE, available since Linux 4.5. The
mechanism is very similar, but the page fault will only be incurred if
the kernel, between the call to madvise and the first access, decides to
reuse that memory for something else.
In sysUnused, test whether MADV_FREE is supported and fall back to
MADV_DONTNEED in case it isn't. This requires making the return value of
the madvise syscall available to the caller, so change runtime.madvise
to return it.

Also mark returned memory with NOHUGEPAGE to keep the kernel from

struct siginfo_t's si_addr field is part of a union.
Previously, we represented this union in Go using an opaque
byte array and accessed the si_addr field using unsafe (and
wrong on 386 and arm!) pointer arithmetic. Since si_addr is
the only field we use from this union, this replaces the
opaque byte array with an explicit declaration of the si_addr
field and accesses it directly.

In a few cases, defs_$GOOS_$GOARCH.go already existed,
so the target here is defs1_$GOOS_$GOARCH.go.
