The CL 49090043 renamed Ureg structures to Ureg386,
UregArm and UregAmd64. This broke build on Plan 9,
since ureg_x86.h includes /386/include/ureg.h, which
declares a structure named Ureg instead of Ureg386.

- new object file reader/writer (liblink/objfile.c)
- remove old object file writing routines
- add pcdata iterator
- remove all trace of "line number stack" and "path fragments" from
object files, linker (!!!)
- dwarf now writes a single "compilation unit" instead of one per package
This CL disables the check for chains of no-split functions that
could overflow the stack red zone. A future CL will attack the problem
of reenabling that check (issue 6931).
This CL is just the liblink and cmd/ld changes.
There are minor associated adjustments in CL 37030045.
Each depends on the other.

There is an enormous amount of code moving around in this CL,
but the code is the same, and it is invoked in the same ways.
This CL is preparation for the new linker structure, not the new
structure itself.
The new library's definition is in include/link.h.
The main change is the use of a Link structure to hold all the
linker-relevant state, replacing the smattering of global variables.
The Link structure should both make it clearer which state must
be carried around and make it possible to parallelize more easily
later.
The main body of the linker has moved into the architecture-independent
cmd/ld directory. That includes the list of known header types, so the
distinction between Hplan9x32 and Hplan9x64 is removed (no other
header type distinguished 32- and 64-bit formats), and code for unused
formats such as ipaq kernels has been deleted.
The code being deleted from 5l, 6l, and 8l reappears in liblink or in ld.
Because multiple files are being merged in the liblink directory,
it is not possible to show the diffs nicely in hg.
The Prog and Addr structures have been unified into an
architecture-independent form and moved to link.h, where they will
be shared by all tools: the assemblers, the compilers, and the linkers.
The unification makes it possible to write architecture-independent
traversal of Prog lists, among other benefits.
The Sym structures cannot be unified: they are too fundamentally
different between the linker and the compilers. Instead, liblink defines
an LSym - a linker Sym - to be used in the Prog and Addr structures,
and the linker now refers exclusively to LSyms. The compilers will
keep using their own syms but will fill out the corresponding LSyms in
the Prog and Addr structures.
Although code from 5l, 6l, and 8l is now in a single library, the
code has been arranged so that only one architecture needs to
be linked into a particular program: 5l will not contain the code
needed for x86 instruction layout, for example.
The object file writing code in liblink/obj.c is from cmd/gc/obj.c.
Preparation for golang.org/s/go13linker work.
This CL does not build by itself. It depends on 35740044
and will be submitted at the same time.

If you thought gcc -ansi -pedantic was pedantic, just wait
until you meet clang -fsanitize=undefined.
I think this addresses all the reported "errors", but we'll
need another run to be sure.

Revision 01810e5c68e9 added the following to src/pkg/runtime/stack.h:
StackPreempt = (uintptr)(intptr)0xffffade,
The typedef for intptr is defined in two places:
1. src/pkg/runtime/runtime.h for use by the runtime
2. include/u.h for use by the compilers and linkers
On Plan 9, we don't use include/u.h but instead augment the host's
u.h with extra typedefs. These are in include/plan9/GOARCH/u.h.
We forgot to add intptr. It didn't cause a problem until now since
that typedef was never used outside the runtime.

This works with at least one version of clang
that existed at one moment in time.
No guarantees about clangs past or future.
To try:
CC=clang all.bash
It does not work with the Xcode clang,
because that clang fails at printing a useful answer
to:
clang -print-libgcc-file-name
The clang that works prints a full path name for
that command, not just "libgcc.a".
Fixes#4713.

This CL adds a flag parser that matches the semantics of Go's
package flag. It also changes the linkers and compilers to use
the new flag parser.
Command lines that used to work, like
8c -FVw
6c -Dfoo
5g -I/foo/bar
now need to be split into separate arguments:
8c -F -V -w
6c -D foo
5g -I /foo/bar
The new spacing will work with both old and new tools.
The new parser also allows = for arguments, as in
6c -D=foo
5g -I=/foo/bar
but that syntax will not work with the old tools.
In addition to matching standard Go binary flag parsing,
the new flag parser generates more detailed usage messages
and opens the door to long flag names.
The recently added gc flag -= has been renamed -complete.

Previously, I had made available a tarball of
the modified system headers that were necessary
to build on Plan 9 but that was only a stopgap.
I think this method is much better since no
files outside of $GOROOT will have to be added
or modified during the build process.
Also, this is just the first step. I'll change
the build to reference these files in another CL
(that also contains a few more Makefile changes).

Back then, every x.go file in a package became an x.6 file
in the archive. It was important to be able to allow the
use of long Go source file names, hence the increase in size.
Today, all Go source files compile into a single _go_.6 file
regardless of their names, so the archive file name length
no longer needs to be long. The longer name causes some
problems on Plan 9, where the native archive format is the
same but with 16-byte names, so revert back to 16.

. By defining getcallerpc(x) as __builtin_return_address(0)
here, it becomes possible to use the Plan 9 compatible form
when compiling using GCC. The alternative is to add conditional
compilation based on the compiler identity in "cmd/8g/gsubr.c"
to distinguish between the two cases.

The "elf.h" header changes involve only comments, the released
Plan 9 C preprocessing function does not cope with multiline
comments following the #define keyword. All multiline comments
have been moved to the line above the associated definition.
Sigh! Fixing the Plan 9 compiler is not an option.
<time.h> does not exist in the Plan 9 Native library. I have
moved it from src/cmd/ld/pe.h to include/u.h. RSC correctly points
out that this copy of <u.h> is not the one used to compile the
Go release on Plan 9 platforms.
