When using a FUSE file system, any system call that touches the file
system can return EINTR.

Historically we've assumed that we can install all signal handlers
with the SA_RESTART flag set, and let the system restart slow functions
if a signal is received. Therefore, we don't have to worry about EINTR.

This is only partially true, and we've added EINTR checks already for
connect, and open/read on Darwin, and sendfile on Solaris.

Other cases have turned up in #36644, #38033, and #38836.

Also, #20400 points out that when Go code is included in a C program,
the C program may install its own signal handlers without SA_RESTART.
In that case, Go code will see EINTR no matter what it does.

So, go ahead and check for EINTR. We don't check in the syscall package;
people using syscalls directly may want to check for EINTR themselves.
But we do check for EINTR in the higher level APIs in os and net,
and retry the system call if we see it.

This change looks safe, but of course we may be missing some cases
where we need to check for EINTR. As such cases turn up, we can add
tests to runtime/testdata/testprogcgo/eintr.go, and fix the code.
If there are any such cases, their handling after this change will be
no worse than it is today.

<title>runtime: don't hold worldsema across mark phase</title>

<content type='text'>
This change makes it so that worldsema isn't held across the mark phase.
This means that various operations like ReadMemStats may now stop the
world during the mark phase, reducing latency on such operations.

Only three such operations are still no longer allowed to occur during
marking: GOMAXPROCS, StartTrace, and StopTrace.

For the former it's because any change to GOMAXPROCS impacts GC mark
background worker scheduling and the details there are tricky.

For the latter two it's because tracing needs to observe consistent GC
start and GC end events, and if StartTrace or StopTrace may stop the
world during marking, then it's possible for it to see a GC end event
without a start or GC start event without an end, respectively.

To ensure that GOMAXPROCS and StartTrace/StopTrace cannot proceed until
marking is complete, the runtime now holds a new semaphore, gcsema,
across the mark phase just like it used to with worldsema.

This change is being landed once more after being reverted in the Go
1.14 release cycle, since CL 215157 allows it to have a positive
effect on system performance.

For the benchmark BenchmarkReadMemStatsLatency in the runtime, which
measures ReadMemStats latencies while the GC is exercised, the tail of
these latencies reduced dramatically on an 8-core machine:

name                   old 50%tile-ns  new 50%tile-ns  delta
ReadMemStatsLatency-8      4.40M ±74%      0.12M ± 2%  -97.35%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)

name                   old 90%tile-ns  new 90%tile-ns  delta
ReadMemStatsLatency-8       102M ± 6%         0M ±14%  -99.79%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)

name                   old 99%tile-ns  new 99%tile-ns  delta
ReadMemStatsLatency-8       147M ±18%         4M ±57%  -97.43%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)

Fixes #19812.

This reverts commit 7b294cdd8df0a9523010f6ffc80c59e64578f34b, CL 182657.

Reason for revert: This change may be causing latency problems
for applications which call ReadMemStats, because it may cause
all goroutines to stop until the GC completes.

https://golang.org/cl/215157 fixes this problem, but it's too
late in the cycle to land that.

Updates #19812.

Also, avoid Region creation when tracing is disabled.
Unfortunate side-effect of this change is that we no longer trace
pre-existing regions in tracing, but we can add the feature in
the future when we find it useful and justifiable. Until then,
let's avoid the overhead from this low-level api use as much as
possible.

CL 92916 added the GOMAXPROCS test in TestTraceSymbolize.

This test only succeeds when the value of GOMAXPROCS changes.

Since the test calls runtime.GOMAXPROCS(1), it will fails
on machines where GOMAXPROCS=1.

This change fixes the test by calling runtime.GOMAXPROCS(oldGoMaxProcs+1).

Fixes #23816.

<title>os: use poller for file I/O</title>

This changes the os package to use the runtime poller for file I/O
where possible. When a system call blocks on a pollable descriptor,
the goroutine will be blocked on the poller but the thread will be
released to run other goroutines. When using a non-pollable
descriptor, the os package will continue to use thread-blocking system
calls as before.

For example, on GNU/Linux, the runtime poller uses epoll. epoll does
not support ordinary disk files, so they will continue to use blocking
I/O as before. The poller will be used for pipes.

Since this means that the poller is used for many more programs, this
modifies the runtime to only block waiting for the poller if there is
some goroutine that is waiting on the poller. Otherwise, there is no
point, as the poller will never make any goroutine ready. This
preserves the runtime's current simple deadlock detection.

This seems to crash FreeBSD systems, so it is disabled on FreeBSD.
This is issue 19093.

Using the poller on Windows requires opening the file with
FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED. We should only do that if we can remove that
flag if the program calls the Fd method. This is issue 19098.

Update #6817.
Update #7903.
Update #15021.
Update #18507.
Update #19093.
Update #19098.
