Previously, we wrote "kill" to the process control file to kill a program. This is problematic because it doesn't let the program gracefully exit. This matters especially if the process we're killing is a Go program. On Unix, sending SIGKILL to a Go program will automatically kill all runtime threads. On Plan 9, there are no threads so when the program wants to exit it has to somehow signal all of the runtime processes. It can't do this if we mercilessly kill it by writing to it's control file. Instead, we now send it a note to invoke it's note handler and let it perform any cleanup before exiting. LGTM=rsc R=rsc, 0intro CC=golang-codereviews https://golang.org/cl/74440044 |

README
This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.
Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
