+// Cgo call and callback support.
+//
+// To call into the C function f from Go, the cgo-generated code calls
+// runtime.cgocall(_cgo_Cfunc_f, frame), where _cgo_Cfunc_f is a
+// gcc-compiled function written by cgo.
+//
+// runtime.cgocall (below) locks g to m, calls entersyscall
+// so as not to block other goroutines or the garbage collector,
+// and then calls runtime.asmcgocall(_cgo_Cfunc_f, frame).
+//
+// runtime.asmcgocall (in asm_$GOARCH.s) switches to the m->g0 stack
+// (assumed to be an operating system-allocated stack, so safe to run
+// gcc-compiled code on) and calls _cgo_Cfunc_f(frame).
+//
+// _cgo_Cfunc_f invokes the actual C function f with arguments
+// taken from the frame structure, records the results in the frame,
+// and returns to runtime.asmcgocall.
+//
+// After it regains control, runtime.asmcgocall switches back to the
+// original g (m->curg)'s stack and returns to runtime.cgocall.
+//
+// After it regains control, runtime.cgocall calls exitsyscall, which blocks
+// until this m can run Go code without violating the $GOMAXPROCS limit,
+// and then unlocks g from m.
+//
+// The above description skipped over the possibility of the gcc-compiled
+// function f calling back into Go. If that happens, we continue down
+// the rabbit hole during the execution of f.
+//
+// To make it possible for gcc-compiled C code to call a Go function p.GoF,
+// cgo writes a gcc-compiled function named GoF (not p.GoF, since gcc doesn't
+// know about packages). The gcc-compiled C function f calls GoF.
+//
+// GoF calls crosscall2(_cgoexp_GoF, frame, framesize). Crosscall2
+// (in cgo/gcc_$GOARCH.S, a gcc-compiled assembly file) is a two-argument
+// adapter from the gcc function call ABI to the 6c function call ABI.
+// It is called from gcc to call 6c functions. In this case it calls
+// _cgoexp_GoF(frame, framesize), still running on m->g0's stack
+// and outside the $GOMAXPROCS limit. Thus, this code cannot yet
+// call arbitrary Go code directly and must be careful not to allocate
+// memory or use up m->g0's stack.
+//
+// _cgoexp_GoF calls runtime.cgocallback(p.GoF, frame, framesize).
+// (The reason for having _cgoexp_GoF instead of writing a crosscall3
+// to make this call directly is that _cgoexp_GoF, because it is compiled
+// with 6c instead of gcc, can refer to dotted names like
+// runtime.cgocallback and p.GoF.)
+//
+// runtime.cgocallback (in asm_$GOARCH.s) switches from m->g0's
+// stack to the original g (m->curg)'s stack, on which it calls
+// runtime.cgocallbackg(p.GoF, frame, framesize).
+// As part of the stack switch, runtime.cgocallback saves the current
+// SP as m->g0->sched.sp, so that any use of m->g0's stack during the
+// execution of the callback will be done below the existing stack frames.
+// Before overwriting m->g0->sched.sp, it pushes the old value on the
+// m->g0 stack, so that it can be restored later.
+//
+// runtime.cgocallbackg (below) is now running on a real goroutine
+// stack (not an m->g0 stack). First it calls runtime.exitsyscall, which will
+// block until the $GOMAXPROCS limit allows running this goroutine.
+// Once exitsyscall has returned, it is safe to do things like call the memory
+// allocator or invoke the Go callback function p.GoF. runtime.cgocallbackg
+// first defers a function to unwind m->g0.sched.sp, so that if p.GoF
+// panics, m->g0.sched.sp will be restored to its old value: the m->g0 stack
+// and the m->curg stack will be unwound in lock step.
+// Then it calls p.GoF. Finally it pops but does not execute the deferred
+// function, calls runtime.entersyscall, and returns to runtime.cgocallback.
+//
+// After it regains control, runtime.cgocallback switches back to
+// m->g0's stack (the pointer is still in m->g0.sched.sp), restores the old
+// m->g0.sched.sp value from the stack, and returns to _cgoexp_GoF.
+//
+// _cgoexp_GoF immediately returns to crosscall2, which restores the
+// callee-save registers for gcc and returns to GoF, which returns to f.
