Currently, Go functions exported to cgo have some confusion around
ABIs that leads to crashes. The cmd/cgo-generated C code references an
exported Go wrapper function (which calls the underlying exported user
function). The linker resolves this reference to the ABI0 entry-point
to that Go wrapper function because all host object references are
currently assumed to be to version 0 of a symbol. This gets passed via
crosscall2 and winds its way to cgocallbackg1, which puts this ABI0
entry-point into a function value and calls it. Unfortunately,
function values always use the ABIInternal calling convention, so
calling this ABI0 entry-point goes poorly.
Fix this by threading definition ABIs through the cgo export mechanism
so the linker can resolve host object references (which have no
concept of multiple ABIs) to the correct Go symbol. This involves a
few pieces:
- The compiler extends the cgo_export_{static,dynamic} directives that
get passed on to the linker with symbol definition ABIs.
- The linker parses the ABIs in the cgo_export_{static,dynamic}
directives to look up the right symbol to apply export attributes to
and put in the dynexp list.
- For internal linking, the linker's Loader structure tracks the right
symbol (in particular the right ABI) to resolve host object
references to, and we use this in all of the host object loaders.
- For external linking, we mangle only the non-ABIInternal symbols
now, so the external linker is able to resolve the correct reference
from host objects to Go symbols.

The runtime traceback code has its own definition of which functions
mark the top frame of a stack, separate from the TOPFRAME bits that
exist in the assembly and are passed along in DWARF information.
It's error-prone and redundant to have two different sources of truth.
This CL provides the actual TOPFRAME bits to the runtime, so that
the runtime can use those bits instead of reinventing its own category.
This CL also adds a new bit, SPWRITE, which marks functions that
write directly to SP (anything but adding and subtracting constants).
Such functions must stop a traceback, because the traceback has no
way to rederive the SP on entry. Again, the runtime has its own definition
which is mostly correct, but also missing some functions. During ordinary
goroutine context switches, such functions do not appear on the stack,
so the incompleteness in the runtime usually doesn't matter.
But profiling signals can arrive at any moment, and the runtime may
crash during traceback if it attempts to unwind an SP-writing frame
and gets out-of-sync with the actual stack. The runtime contains code
to try to detect likely candidates but again it is incomplete.
Deriving the SPWRITE bit automatically from the actual assembly code
provides the complete truth, and passing it to the runtime lets the
runtime use it.
This CL is part of a stack adding windows/arm64
support (#36439), intended to land in the Go 1.17 cycle.
This CL is, however, not windows/arm64-specific.
It is cleanup meant to make the port (and future ports) easier.

When the compiler refers to a runtime builtin, it emits an indexed
symbol reference in the object file via predetermined/preassigned ID
within the PkgIdxBuiltin pseudo-package. At link time when the loader
encounters these references, it redirects them to the corresponding
defined symbol in the runtime package. This redirection process
currently assumes that if a runtime builtin is referenced, we'll
always have a definition for it. This assumption holds in most cases,
however for the builtins "runtime.racefuncenter" and
"runtime.racefuncexit", we'll only see definitions if the runtime
package we're linking against was built with "-race".
In the bug in question, build passes "-gcflags=-race" during
compilation of the main package, but doesn't pass "-race" directly to
'go build', and as a result the final link combines a
race-instrumented main with a non-race runtime; this results in R_CALL
relocations with zero-valued target symbols, resulting in a panic
during stack checking.
This patch changes the loader's resolve method to detect situations
where we're asking for builtin "runtime.X", but the runtime package
read in doesn't contain a definition for X.
Fixes#42396.

The type descriptor symbol of a defined (named) type (and pointer
to it) is defined only in the package that defines the type. It
is not dupOK, unlike other type descriptors. So it can be
referenced by index. Currently it is referenced by name for
cross-package references, because the index is not exported and
so not known to the referencing package.
This CL passes the index through the export data, so the symbol
can be referenced by index, and does not need to be looked up by
name. This also makes such symbol references consistent: it is
referenced by index within the defining package and also cross-
package, which makes it easier for content hashing (in later CLs).
One complication is that we need to set flags on referenced
symbols (specifically, the UsedInIface flag). Before, they are
non-package refs, which naturally carry flags in the object file.
For indexed refs, we currently don't put their flags in the
object file. Introduce a new block for this.

Introduce a new loader method "SetCarrierSym", to be used when
establishing container/containee symbol relationships for symbol
bucketing in the symtab phase.
This new method is intended to be employed in situations where you
have a series of related symbols will be represented by a single
carrier symbol as a combined entity. The pattern here is that the
sub-symbols contain content but will be anonymous from a symbol table
perspective; the carrier symbol has no content itself but will appear
in the symbol table. Examples of carrier symbols that follow this
model are "runtime.itablink" and "runtime.typelink".

"interior" sub-symbols that point into a portion of the container
symbol's content. Each interior symbol will typically have a useful
name / size / value, but no content of its own. From a symbol table

Create a new class of symbols internal to the linker. These symbols live

The Go compiler includes special treatment for a small set of very
commonly used type symbols (26 to be exact); for these types it
doesn't bother to emit type descriptors for "normal" compilations, and
instead only generates them for the runtime package, so as to reduce
object file bloat.
This patch moves the set of type symbols in question from the
PkgIdxNone index space (in the object file) to the PkgIdxBuiltin
space, which saves some work in the compiler and loader (reduces each
package's index space slightly).

Currently, a method of a reachable type is live if it matches a
method of a reachable interface. In fact, we only need to retain
the method if the type is actually converted to an interface. If
the type is never converted to an interface, there is no way to
call the method through an interface method call (but the type
descriptor could still be used, e.g. in calling
runtime.newobject).
A type can be used in an interface in two ways:
- directly converted to interface. (Any interface counts, as it
is possible to convert one interface to another.)
- obtained by reflection from a related type (e.g. obtaining an
interface of T from []T).
For the former, we let the compiler emit a marker on the type
descriptor symbol when it is converted to an interface. In the
linker, we only need to check methods of marked types.
For the latter, when the linker visits a marked type, it needs to
visit all its "child" types as marked (i.e. potentially could be
converted to interface).
This reduces binary size:
cmd/compile 18792016 18706096 (-0.5%)
cmd/go 14120572 13398948 (-5.1%)

Anyway, allowlist and blocklist are more self-explanatory than whitelist

Currently, for symbols defined in other packages and referenced
by index, we don't record its name in the object file, as the
linker doesn't need the name, only the index. As a consequence,
tools like objdump and nm also don't know the referenced symbol
names and cannot dump it properly.
This CL adds referenced symbol names to the object file. So the
object file is self-contained. And tools can retrieve referenced
symbol names properly.
Tools now should work as good for new object files as for old
object files.

This change splits the SDWARFINFO symbol type (a generic container of

SDWARFCONST constant DIE
SDWARFFCN subprogram DIE (default and concrete)
SDWARFABSFCN abstract function DIE
SDWARFTYPE type DIE
SDWARFVAR global variable DIE
Advantage of doing this: in the linker there are several places where
we have to iterate over a symbol's relocations to pick out references
to specific classes of DWARF sub-symbols (for example, looking for all
abstract function DIEs referenced by a subprogram DIE, or looking at
all the type DIEs used in a subprogram DIE). By splitting SDWARFINFO
into parts clients can now look only at the relocation target's sym
type as opposed to having to materialize the target sym name, or do a
lookup.

"go build". But in case it goes wrong, it could lead to obscure
errors like run-time crashes. It would be better to check the
index consistency at build time.
To do that, we add a fingerprint to each object file, which is
a hash of symbol indices. In the object file it records the
fingerprints of all imported packages, as well as its own
fingerprint. At link time, the linker checks that a package's
fingerprint matches the fingerprint recorded in the importing
packages, and issue an error if they don't match.
This CL does the first part: introducing the fingerprint in the
object file, and propagating fingerprints through
importing/exporting by the compiler. It is not yet used by the
linker. Next CL will do.

This patch begins the work of converting the linker's dodata phase to
work with loader APIs. Passes all.bash on linux/amd64, but hasn't been
tested on anything else (more arch-specific code needs to be written).
Use of the new dodata() phase is currently gated by a temporary
command line flag ("-newdodata"), and there is code in the linker's
main routine to insure that we only use the new version for the right
GOOS/GOARCH (currently restricted to ELF + AMD64).

Move the guts of ctxt.Errorf into loader.Loader, so that we can make
calls to it from functions that have a "*loader.Loader" available but
not a "ctxt *Link". This is needed to start converting hooks like
"adddynrel" in the arch-specific portions of the linker to use loader
APIs.

Clients may need to invoke the loader.Reloc2.SetType method to reset
the type of a relocation from external flavor to internal flavor,
meaning that the external type add-in needs to be zeroed (this is
needed when adding dynsym entries).
Add a new SymbolBuider method to support mutating the type of a reloc
for an external symbol, so that the external type can be changed as
well (Reloc2 doesn't have access to that). Also add similar methods
for updating target symbol and addend, so as to have a consistent
interface for ext reloc mutation.

Allow for the possibility that a client could call newExtSym(), then
ask for the section of the new sym before SetSectSym is called on it
(check in SymSect for this case).

The code that runs as a part of loadlibfull converts the linker's
outer/sub state and sets the sym.Symbol AttrSubSymbol if a symbol has
both A) an outer sym, and B) is listed as a sub-symbol by some other
symbol.
Make sure that we have the same logic in the original loader method,
since we need to use it as part of dodata() prior to loadlibfull.

This is needed to allow them can be picked up by the loader-API

Currently, we use a dense array to store symbol's sections. The
array element is a *sym.Section, which takes 8 bytes per symbol
on a 64-bit machine. And the array is created upfront.
To reduce memory usage, use a 16-bit index for sections, so we
store 2 bytes per symbol. The array is pointerless, reducing GC
work. Also create the array lazily.
This reduces some memory usage: linking cmd/compile,
name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta
Loadlib_GC 42.1MB ± 0% 36.2MB ± 0% -14.01% (p=0.008 n=5+5)
name old live-B new live-B delta
Loadlib_GC 16.8M ± 0% 15.4M ± 0% -8.36% (p=0.008 n=5+5)
