This CL makes the bitmaps a little more precise about variables
that have their address taken but for which the address does not
escape to the heap, so that the variables are kept in the stack frame
rather than allocated on the heap.
The code before this CL handled these variables by treating every
return statement as using every such variable and depending on
liveness analysis to essentially treat the variable as live during the
entire function. That approach has false positives and (worse) false
negatives. That is, it's both sloppy and buggy:
func f(b1, b2 bool) { // x live here! (sloppy)
if b2 {
print(0) // x live here! (sloppy)
return
}
var z **int
x := new(int)
*x = 42
z = &x
print(**z) // x live here (conservative)
if b2 {
print(1) // x live here (conservative)
return
}
for {
print(**z) // x not live here (buggy)
}
}
The first two liveness annotations (marked sloppy) are clearly
wrong: x cannot be live if it has not yet been declared.
The last liveness annotation (marked buggy) is also wrong:
x is live here as *z, but because there is no return statement
reachable from this point in the code, the analysis treats x as dead.
This CL changes the liveness calculation to mark such variables
live exactly at points in the code reachable from the variable
declaration. This keeps the conservative decisions but fixes
the sloppy and buggy ones.
The CL also detects ambiguously live variables, those that are
being marked live but may not actually have been initialized,
such as in this example:
func f(b1 bool) {
var z **int
if b1 {
x := new(int)
*x = 42
z = &x
} else {
y := new(int)
*y = 54
z = &y
}
print(**z) // x, y live here (conservative)
}
Since the print statement is reachable from the declaration of x,
x must conservatively be marked live. The same goes for y.
Although both x and y are marked live at the print statement,
clearly only one of them has been initialized. They are both
"ambiguously live".
These ambiguously live variables cause problems for garbage
collection: the collector cannot ignore them but also cannot
depend on them to be initialized to valid pointer values.
Ambiguously live variables do not come up too often in real code,
but recent changes to the way map and interface runtime functions
are invoked has created a large number of ambiguously live
compiler-generated temporary variables. The next CL will adjust
the analysis to understand these temporaries better, to make
ambiguously live variables fairly rare.
Once ambiguously live variables are rare enough, another CL will
introduce code at the beginning of a function to zero those
slots on the stack. At that point the garbage collector and the
stack copying routines will be able to depend on the guarantee that
if a slot is marked as live in a liveness bitmap, it is initialized.

Replace the pack command, a C program, with a clean reimplementation in Go.
It does not need to reproduce the full feature set and it is no longer used by
the build chain, but has a role in looking inside archives created by the build
chain directly.
Since it's not in C, it is no longer build by dist, so remove it from cmd/dist and
make it a "tool" in cmd/go terminology.

Previously, filenames containing special characters could:
1) Escape the <a> tag, with a file called something like: ">foo
2) Break the links in the index by prematurely ending the path portion
of the url, with a file called: foo?bar

using htmlReplacer from net/http/server.go, which is equivalent to
html.EscapeString.

Map iteration previously started from a random bucket, but walked each
bucket from the beginning. Now, iteration always starts from the first
bucket and walks each bucket starting at a random offset. For
performance, the random offset is selected at the start of iteration
and reused for each bucket.
Iteration over a map with 8 or fewer elements--a single bucket--will
now be non-deterministic. There will now be only 8 different possible
map iterations.

Fix another issue (similar to Issue 6995) where there was a
data race when sharing a server handler's Request.Body with
another goroutine that out-lived the Handler's goroutine.
In some cases we were not closing the incoming Request.Body
(which would've required reading it until the end) if we
thought it we thought we were going to be forcibly closing the
underlying net.Conn later anyway. But that optimization
largely moved to the transfer.go *body later, and locking was
added to *body which then detected read-after-close, so now
calling the (*body).Close always is both cheap and correct.
No new test because TestTransportAndServerSharedBodyRace caught it,
albeit only sometimes. Running:
while ./http.test -test.cpu=8 -test.run=TestTransportAndServerSharedBodyRace; do true; done
... would reliably cause a race before, but not now.

For historical reasons, temp was returning a copy
of the created Node*, not the original Node*.
This meant that if analysis recorded information in the
returned node (for example, n->addrtaken = 1), the
analysis would not show up on the original Node*, the
one kept in fn->dcl and consulted during liveness
bitmap creation.
Correct this, and watch for it when setting addrtaken.
