David Crawshaw 44ee2b00db cmd/link: optimize TLS IE to LE in build mode PIE
When cmd/compile generates position-independent code on linux
(the -shared flag), it refers to runtime.tlsg as a TLS IE variable.

When cmd/link is linking a PIE executable internally, all TLS IE
relocations are generated by cmd/compile, and the variable they
refer to, runtime.tlsg, is local to the binary. This means we can
optimize this particular IE case to LE, and thus implement IE
support when internally linking.

To do this optimization in the linker, we need to rewrite the
PC-relative MOVD to a constant load. This may seem like an
unconscionable act born of enthusiasm, but it turns out this is
standard operating procedure for linkers. GNU gold does exactly
the same optimization. I spent some time reading it and documented
at least one missing feature from this version.

Part of adding PIE internal linking on linux/amd64.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

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 file). 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-source.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 https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
