The current definitions of StackLimit and StackGuard only indirectly
specify the NOSPLIT stack limit and duplicate a literal constant
(928). Currently, they define the stack guard delta, and from there
compute the NOSPLIT limit.
Rationalize these by defining a new constant, abi.StackNosplitBase,
which consolidates and directly specifies the NOSPLIT stack limit (in
the default case). From this we then compute the stack guard delta,
inverting the relationship between these two constants. While we're
here, we rename StackLimit to StackNosplit to make it clearer what's
being limited.
This change does not affect the values of these constants in the
default configuration. It does slightly change how
StackGuardMultiplier values other than 1 affect the constants, but
this multiplier is a pretty rough heuristic anyway.

I took some of the infrastructure from Austin's lock logging CR
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/192704 (with deadlock
detection from the logs), and developed a setup to give static lock
ranking for runtime locks.
Static lock ranking establishes a documented total ordering among locks,
and then reports an error if the total order is violated. This can
happen if a deadlock happens (by acquiring a sequence of locks in
different orders), or if just one side of a possible deadlock happens.
Lock ordering deadlocks cannot happen as long as the lock ordering is
followed.
Along the way, I found a deadlock involving the new timer code, which Ian fixed
via https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/207348, as well as two other
potential deadlocks.
See the constants at the top of runtime/lockrank.go to show the static
lock ranking that I ended up with, along with some comments. This is
great documentation of the current intended lock ordering when acquiring
multiple locks in the runtime.
I also added an array lockPartialOrder[] which shows and enforces the
current partial ordering among locks (which is embedded within the total
ordering). This is more specific about the dependencies among locks.
I don't try to check the ranking within a lock class with multiple locks
that can be acquired at the same time (i.e. check the ranking when
multiple hchan locks are acquired).
Currently, I am doing a lockInit() call to set the lock rank of most
locks. Any lock that is not otherwise initialized is assumed to be a
leaf lock (a very high rank lock), so that eliminates the need to do
anything for a bunch of locks (including all architecture-dependent
locks). For two locks, root.lock and notifyList.lock (only in the
runtime/sema.go file), it is not as easy to do lock initialization, so
instead, I am passing the lock rank with the lock calls.
For Windows compilation, I needed to increase the StackGuard size from
896 to 928 because of the new lock-rank checking functions.
Checking of the static lock ranking is enabled by setting
GOEXPERIMENT=staticlockranking before doing a run.
To make sure that the static lock ranking code has no overhead in memory
or CPU when not enabled by GOEXPERIMENT, I changed 'go build/install' so
that it defines a build tag (with the same name) whenever any experiment
has been baked into the toolchain (by checking Expstring()). This allows
me to avoid increasing the size of the 'mutex' type when static lock
ranking is not enabled.

Generate inline code at defer time to save the args of defer calls to unique
(autotmp) stack slots, and generate inline code at exit time to check which defer
calls were made and make the associated function/method/interface calls. We
remember that a particular defer statement was reached by storing in the deferBits
variable (always stored on the stack). At exit time, we check the bits of the
deferBits variable to determine which defer function calls to make (in reverse
order). These low-cost defers are only used for functions where no defers
appear in loops. In addition, we don't do these low-cost defers if there are too
many defer statements or too many exits in a function (to limit code increase).
When a function uses open-coded defers, we produce extra
FUNCDATA_OpenCodedDeferInfo information that specifies the number of defers, and
for each defer, the stack slots where the closure and associated args have been
stored. The funcdata also includes the location of the deferBits variable.
Therefore, for panics, we can use this funcdata to determine exactly which defers
are active, and call the appropriate functions/methods/closures with the correct
arguments for each active defer.
In order to unwind the stack correctly after a recover(), we need to add an extra
code segment to functions with open-coded defers that simply calls deferreturn()
and returns. This segment is not reachable by the normal function, but is returned
to by the runtime during recovery. We set the liveness information of this
deferreturn() to be the same as the liveness at the first function call during the
last defer exit code (so all return values and all stack slots needed by the defer
calls will be live).
I needed to increase the stackguard constant from 880 to 896, because of a small
amount of new code in deferreturn().
The -N flag disables open-coded defers. '-d defer' prints out the kind of defer
being used at each defer statement (heap-allocated, stack-allocated, or
open-coded).
Cost of defer statement [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkDefer$ runtime ]
With normal (stack-allocated) defers only: 35.4 ns/op
With open-coded defers: 5.6 ns/op
Cost of function call alone (remove defer keyword): 4.4 ns/op
Text size increase (including funcdata) for go binary without/with open-coded defers: 0.09%
The average size increase (including funcdata) for only the functions that use
open-coded defers is 1.1%.
The cost of a panic followed by a recover got noticeably slower, since panic
processing now requires a scan of the stack for open-coded defer frames. This scan
is required, even if no frames are using open-coded defers:
Cost of panic and recover [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkPanicRecover runtime ]
Without open-coded defers: 62.0 ns/op
With open-coded defers: 255 ns/op

This commit allows to cross-compiling aix/ppc64. The nosplit limit must
twice as large as on others platforms because of AIX syscalls.
The stack limit, especially stackGuardMultiplier, was set by cmd/dist
during the bootstrap and doesn't depend on GOOS/GOARCH target.

Now only cmd/asm and cmd/compile depend on cmd/internal/obj. Changing
the assembler backends no longer requires reinstalling cmd/link or
cmd/addr2line.
There's also now one canonical definition of the object file format in
cmd/internal/objabi/doc.go, with a warning to update all three
implementations.
objabi is still something of a grab bag of unrelated code (e.g., flag
and environment variable handling probably belong in a separate "tool"
package), but this is still progress.
