[dev.typeparams] runtime,cmd/compile,cmd/link: replace jmpdefer with a loop
Currently, deferreturn runs deferred functions by backing up its
return PC to the deferreturn call, and then effectively tail-calling
the deferred function (via jmpdefer). The effect of this is that the
deferred function appears to be called directly from the deferee, and
when it returns, the deferee calls deferreturn again so it can run the
next deferred function if necessary.
This unusual flow control leads to a large number of special cases and
complications all over the tool chain.
This used to be necessary because deferreturn copied the deferred
function's argument frame directly into its caller's frame and then
had to invoke that call as if it had been called from its caller's
frame so it could access it arguments. But now that we've simplified
defer processing so the runtime only deals with argument-less
closures, this approach is no longer necessary.
This CL simplifies all of this by making deferreturn simply call
deferred functions in a loop.
This eliminates the need for jmpdefer, so we can delete a bunch of
per-architecture assembly code.
This eliminates several special cases on Wasm, since it couldn't
support these calling shenanigans directly and thus had to simulate
the loop a different way. Now Wasm can largely work the way the other
platforms do.
This eliminates the per-architecture Ginsnopdefer operation. On PPC64,
this was necessary to reload the TOC pointer after the tail call
(since TOC pointers in general make tail calls impossible). The tail
call is gone, and in the case where we do force a jump to the
deferreturn call when recovering from an open-coded defer, we go
through gogo (via runtime.recovery), which handles the TOC. On other
platforms, we needed a NOP so traceback didn't get confused by seeing
the return to the CALL instruction, rather than the usual return to
the instruction following the CALL instruction. Now we don't inject a
return to the CALL instruction at all, so this NOP is also
unnecessary.
The one potential effect of this is that deferreturn could now appear
in stack traces from deferred functions. However, this could already
happen from open-coded defers, so we've long since marked deferreturn
as a "wrapper" so it gets elided not only from printed stack traces,
but from runtime.Callers*.
