Go 1.17 support for the KVM platform
Go 1.17 adds a new register-based calling convention. While transparent for
most applications, the KVM platform needs special work in a few cases.
First of all, we need the actual address of some assembly functions, rather
than the address of a wrapper. See http://gvisor.dev/pr/5832 for complete
discussion of this.
More relevant to this CL is that ABI0-to-ABIInternal wrappers (i.e., calls from
assembly to Go) access the G via FS_BASE. The KVM quite fast-and-loose about
the Go environment, often calling into (nosplit) Go functions with
uninitialized FS_BASE.
That will no longer work in Go 1.17, so this CL changes the platform to
consistently restore FS_BASE before calling into Go code.
This CL does not affect arm64 code. Go 1.17 does not support the register-based
calling convention for arm64 (it will come in 1.18), but arm64 also does not
use a non-standard register like FS_BASE for TLS, so it may not require any
changes.
