2021-07-12Go 1.17 support for the KVM platformMichael Pratt
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.

This allows the package to serve as a general purpose ring0 support package, as opposed to being bound to specific sentry platforms. Updates #5039 PiperOrigin-RevId: 355220044
