madvise was missing so implement it in assembler. This change
needs to be extended to the other BSD variantes (Net and Open)
Without this change the scavenger will attempt to pass memory back
to the operating system when it has become idle, but the memory is
not returned and for long running Go processes the total memory used
can grow until OOM occurs.
I have only been able to test the code on FreeBSD AMD64. The ARM
platforms needs testing.

Update OpenBSD runtime to use the new version of the sys___tfork
syscall and switch TLS initialisation from sys_arch to sys___set_tcb
(note that both of these syscalls are available in OpenBSD 5.2).

This enables to loop over some goroutines, e.g. to print the
backtrace of goroutines 1 to 9:
set $i = 1
while $i < 10
printf "backtrace of goroutine %d:\n", $i
goroutine $i++ bt
end

This significantly decreases amount of shadow memory
mapped by race detector.
I haven't tested on Windows, but on Linux it reduces
virtual memory size from 1351m to 330m for fmt.test.

Currently race detector runtime just disables race detection in the finalizer goroutine.
It has false positives when a finalizer writes to shared memory -- the race with finalizer is reported in a normal goroutine that accesses the same memory.
After this change I am going to synchronize the finalizer goroutine with the rest of the world in racefingo(). This is closer to what happens in reality and so
does not have false positives.
And also add README file with instructions how to build the runtime.

It allows to catch e.g. a data race between atomic write and non-atomic write,
or Mutex.Lock() and mutex overwrite (e.g. mu = Mutex{}).

In order to add these, we need to be able to find references
to such types that already exist in the binary. To do that, introduce
a new linker section holding a list of the types corresponding to
arrays, chans, maps, and slices.
To offset the storage cost of this list, and to simplify the code,
remove the interface{} header from the representation of a
runtime type. It was used in early versions of the code but was
made obsolete by the kind field: a switch on kind is more efficient
than a type switch.
In the godoc binary, removing the interface{} header cuts two
words from each of about 10,000 types. Adding back the list of pointers
to array, chan, map, and slice types reintroduces one word for
each of about 500 types. On a 64-bit machine, then, this CL *removes*
a net 156 kB of read-only data from the binary.
This CL does not include the needed support for precise garbage
collection. I have created issue 4375 to track that.
This CL also does not set the 'algorithm' - specifically the equality
and copy functions - for a new array correctly, so I have unexported
ArrayOf for now. That is also part of issue 4375.
Fixes#2339.

Currently race detector runtime maps shadow memory eagerly at process startup.
It works poorly on Windows, because Windows requires reservation in swap file
(especially problematic if several Go program runs at the same, each consuming GBs
of memory).
With this change race detector maps shadow memory lazily, so Go runtime must notify
about all new heap memory.
It will help with Windows port, but also eliminates scary 16TB virtual mememory
consumption in top output (which sometimes confuses some monitoring scripts).

The deadlock occurs when another goroutine requests GC
during the test. When wait=true the test expects physical parallelism,
that is, that P goroutines are all active at the same time.
If GC is requested, then part of the goroutines are not scheduled,
so other goroutines deadlock.
With wait=false, goroutines finish parallel for w/o waiting for all
other goroutines.
