runtime: implement cheaper context switch on Linux/AMD64 · 4d12cf3c
Currently, goroutine switches are implemented with libc getcontext/setcontext functions, which saves/restores the machine register states and also the signal context. This does more than what we need, and performs an expensive syscall. This CL implements a simplified version of getcontext/setcontext, in assembly, that only saves/restores the necessary part, i.e. the callee-save registers, and the PC, SP. A simplified version of makecontext, written in C, is also added. Currently this is only implemented on Linux/AMD64.
