encoding/gob: ignore chan and func fields of structures
Previously, fields of type chan or func caused an error.
Now we just treat them like unexported fields and ignore them.
This makes it easier to guarantee long-term compatibilty since
a substructure from another package cannot break gob
encoding by adding a func or chan field.
cmd/gc: don't generate algs for internal map types.
Fake types describing the internal structure of hashmaps are
generated for use by precise GC.
Generating hash and eq functions for these fake types slows down
the build and wastes space: the go tool binary size is 13MB
instead of 12MB, and the package size on amd64 is 48.7MB instead
of 45.3MB.
runtime: avoid inconsistent goroutine state in profiler
Because profiling signals can arrive at any time, we must
handle the case where a profiling signal arrives halfway
through a goroutine switch. Luckily, although there is much
to think through, very little needs to change.

runtime, cmd/gc, cmd/ld: ignore method wrappers in recover
Bug #1:
Issue 5406 identified an interesting case:
defer iface.M()
may end up calling a wrapper that copies an indirect receiver
from the iface value and then calls the real M method. That's
two calls down, not just one, and so recover() == nil always
in the real M method, even during a panic.
[For the purposes of this entire discussion, a wrapper's
implementation is a function containing an ordinary call, not
the optimized tail call form that is somtimes possible. The
tail call does not create a second frame, so it is already
handled correctly.]
Fix this bug by introducing g->panicwrap, which counts the
number of bytes on current stack segment that are due to
wrapper calls that should not count against the recover
check. All wrapper functions must now adjust g->panicwrap up
on entry and back down on exit. This adds slightly to their
expense; on the x86 it is a single instruction at entry and
exit; on the ARM it is three. However, the alternative is to
make a call to recover depend on being able to walk the stack,
which I very much want to avoid. We have enough problems
walking the stack for garbage collection and profiling.
Also, if performance is critical in a specific case, it is already
faster to use a pointer receiver and avoid this kind of wrapper
entirely.
Bug #2:
The old code, which did not consider the possibility of two
calls, already contained a check to see if the call had split
its stack and so the panic-created segment was one behind the
current segment. In the wrapper case, both of the two calls
might split their stacks, so the panic-created segment can be
two behind the current segment.
Fix this by propagating the Stktop.panic flag forward during
stack splits instead of looking backward during recover.

Asking about runtime/cgo when CgoEnabled=false now correctly
returns an error from build.Import (specifically, NoGoError), because
there are no buildable Go files in that directory.
The API tool was depending on it returning a package with no Go

The various throwing > 0 finish a change started
in a previous CL, which sets throwing = -1 to mean
"don't show the internals". That gets set during the
"all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!" crash, and it
should also be set during any other expected crash
that does not indicate a problem within the runtime.
Most runtime.throw do indicate a problem within the
runtime, however, so we should be able to enumerate
the ones that should be silent. The goroutine sleeping
deadlock is the only one I can think of.
Otherwise, if panic starts running deferred functions,
the code that panicked appears to be calling those
functions directly, which is not the case and can be
confusing.
net: implement TCP connection setup with fast failover
This CL adds minimal support of Happy Eyeballs-like TCP connection
setup to Dialer API. Happy Eyeballs and derivation techniques are
described in the following:
- Happy Eyeballs: Success with Dual-Stack Hosts
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6555
- Analysing Dual Stack Behaviour and IPv6 Quality
http://www.potaroo.net/presentations/2012-04-17-dual-stack-quality.pdf
Usually, the techniques consist of three components below.
- DNS query racers, that run A and AAAA queries in parallel or series
- A short list of destination addresses
- TCP SYN racers, that run IPv4 and IPv6 transport in parallel or series
This CL implements only the latter two. The existing DNS query
component gathers together A and AAAA records in series, so we don't
touch it here. This CL just uses extended resolveInternetAddr and makes
it possible to run multiple Dial racers in parallel.
For example, when the given destination is a DNS name and the name has
multiple address family A and AAAA records, and it happens on the TCP
wildcard network "tcp" with DualStack=true like the following:
cmd/go: report correct directory for 'no version control'
The scan starts at the directory we care about and works
backward to the GOPATH root. The error should say the
original directory name, not the name of the GOPATH root.
The entry for LEAL/LEAQ in these optabs was listed as having
two data bytes in the y array. In fact they had and expect no data
bytes. However, the general loop expects to be able to look at at
least one data byte, to make sure it is not 0x0f. So give them each
a single data byte set to 0 (not 0x0f).
Since the MOV instructions have the largest optab cases, this
requires growing the size of the data array.
Clang found this bug because the general o->op[z] == 0x0f
test was using z == 22, which was out of bounds.
In practice the next byte in memory was probably not 0x0f
so it wasn't truly broken. But might as well be clean.
For example, if an x_test.go file contains a syntax error,
b.test fails with an error message. But it wasn't printing
the same FAIL line that a build failure later would print.
This makes all the test failures that happen (once we
decide to start running tests) consistently say FAIL.

The code in question is trying to print a nice error message

Unfortunately, the only way to do that is to use

We could run on them if not for this OABI check, so disable it.
