- go1.21 (released 2023-08-08) is a major release of Go. go1.21.x minor
releases will be provided through August 2024.
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle go1.21 arrives six
months after go1.20. Most of its changes are in the implementation of
the toolchain, runtime, and libraries. As always, the release maintains
the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect almost all Go programs to
continue to compile and run as before. Refs boo#1212475 go1.21 release
tracking
* Go 1.21 introduces a small change to the numbering of releases. In the
past, we used Go 1.N to refer to both the
overall Go language version and release family as well as the first
release in that family. Starting in Go 1.21, the first release is now
Go 1.N.0. Today we are releasing both the Go 1.21 language and its
initial implementation, the Go 1.21.0 release. These notes refer to
"Go 1.21"; tools like go version will report "go1.21.0" (until you
upgrade to Go 1.21.1). See "Go versions" in the "Go Toolchains"
documentation for details about the new version numbering.
* Language change: Go 1.21 adds three new built-ins to the language.
* Language change: The new functions min and max compute the smallest
(or largest, for max) value of a fixed number of given arguments. See
the language spec for details.
* Language change: The new function clear deletes all elements from a
map or zeroes all elements of a slice. See the language spec for
details.
* Package initialization order is now specified more precisely. This may
change the behavior of some programs that rely on a specific
initialization ordering that was not expressed by explicit imports.
The behavior of such programs was not well defined by the spec in past
releases. The new rule provides an unambiguous definition.
* Multiple improvements that increase the power and precision of type
inference have been made.
* A (possibly partially instantiated generic) function may now be called
with arguments that are themselves (possibly partially instantiated)
generic functions.
* Type inference now also considers methods when a value is assigned to
an interface: type arguments for type parameters used in method
signatures may be inferred from the corresponding parameter types of
matching methods.
* Similarly, since a type argument must implement all the methods
of its corresponding constraint, the methods of the type argument and
constraint are matched which may lead to the inference of additional
type arguments.
* If multiple untyped constant arguments of different kinds (such as an
untyped int and an untyped floating-point constant) are passed to
parameters with the same (not otherwise specified) type parameter
type, instead of an error, now type inference determines the type
using the same approach as an operator with untyped constant operands.
This change brings the types inferred from untyped constant arguments
in line with the types
of constant expressions.
* Type inference is now precise when matching corresponding types in
assignments
* The description of type inference in the language spec has been
clarified.
* Go 1.21 includes a preview of a language change we are considering for
a future version of Go: making for loop variables per-iteration
instead of per-loop, to avoid accidental sharing bugs. For details
about how to try that language change, see the LoopvarExperiment wiki
page.
* Go 1.21 now defines that if a goroutine is panicking and recover was
called directly by a deferred function, the return value of recover is
guaranteed not to be nil. To ensure this, calling panic with a nil
interface value (or an untyped nil) causes a run-time panic of type
*runtime.PanicNilError. To support programs written for older versions
of Go, nil panics can be re-enabled by setting GODEBUG=panicnil=1.
This setting is enabled automatically when compiling a program whose
main package is in a module with that declares go 1.20 or earlier.
* Go 1.21 adds improved support for backwards compatibility and forwards
compatibility in the Go toolchain.
* To improve backwards compatibility, Go 1.21 formalizes Go's use
of the GODEBUG environment variable to control the default behavior
for changes that are non-breaking according to the compatibility
policy but nonetheless may cause existing programs to break. (For
example, programs that depend on buggy behavior may break when a bug
is fixed, but bug fixes are not considered breaking changes.) When Go
must make this kind of behavior change, it now chooses between the
old and new behavior based on the go line in the workspace's go.work
file
or else the main module's go.mod file. Upgrading to a new Go toolchain
but leaving the go line set to its original (older) Go version
preserves the behavior of the older toolchain. With this
compatibility support, the latest Go toolchain should always be the
best, most secure, implementation of an older version of Go. See "Go,
Backwards Compatibility, and GODEBUG" for details.
* To improve forwards compatibility, Go 1.21 now reads the go line in a
go.work or go.mod file as a strict minimum requirement: go 1.21.0
means that the workspace or module cannot be used with Go 1.20 or with
Go 1.21rc1. This allows projects that depend on fixes made in later
versions of Go to ensure that they are not used with earlier versions.
It also gives better error reporting for projects that make use of new
Go features: when the problem is that a newer Go version is needed,
that problem is reported clearly, instead of attempting to build the
code and instead printing errors about unresolved imports or syntax
errors.
* To make these new stricter version requirements easier to manage, the
go command can now invoke not just the toolchain bundled in its own
release but also other Go toolchain versions found in the PATH or
downloaded on demand. If a go.mod or go.work go line declares a
minimum requirement on a newer version of Go, the go command will find
and run that version automatically. The new toolchain directive sets a
suggested minimum toolchain to use, which may be newer than the strict
go minimum. See "Go Toolchains" for details.
* go command: The -pgo build flag now defaults to -pgo=auto, and the
restriction of specifying a single main package on the command line is
now removed. If a file named default.pgo is present in the main
package's directory, the go command will use it to enable
profile-guided optimization for building the corresponding program.
* go command: The -C dir flag must now be the first flag on the
command-line when used.
* go command: The new go test option -fullpath prints full path names in
test log messages, rather than just base names.
* go command: The go test -c flag now supports writing test binaries for
multiple packages, each to pkg.test where pkg is the package name. It
is an error if more than one test package being compiled has a given
package name.]
* go command: The go test -o flag now accepts a directory argument, in
which case test binaries are written to that directory instead of the
current directory.
* cgo: In files that import "C", the Go toolchain now correctly reports
errors for attempts to declare Go methods on C types.
* runtime: When printing very deep stacks, the runtime now prints the
first 50 (innermost) frames followed by the bottom 50 (outermost)
frames, rather than just printing the first 100 frames. This makes it
easier to see how deeply recursive stacks started, and is especially
valuable for debugging stack
overflows.
* runtime: On Linux platforms that support transparent huge pages, the
Go runtime now manages which parts of the heap may be backed by huge
pages more explicitly. This leads to better utilization of memory:
small heaps should see less memory used (up to 50% in pathological
cases) while large heaps should see fewer broken huge pages for dense
parts of the heap, improving CPU usage and latency by up to 1%.
* runtime: As a result of runtime-internal garbage collection tuning,
applications may see up to a 40% reduction in application tail latency
and a small decrease in memory use. Some applications may also observe
a small loss in throughput. The memory use decrease should be
proportional to the loss in throughput, such that the previous
release's throughput/memory tradeoff may be recovered (with little
change to latency) by increasing GOGC and/or GOMEMLIMIT slightly.
* runtime: Calls from C to Go on threads created in C require some setup
to prepare for Go execution. On Unix platforms, this setup is now
preserved across multiple calls from the same thread. This
significantly reduces the overhead of subsequent C to Go calls from
~1-3 microseconds per call to ~100-200 nanoseconds per call.
* compiler: Profile-guide optimization (PGO), added as a preview in Go
1.20, is now ready for general use. PGO enables additional
optimizations on code identified as hot by profiles
of production workloads. As mentioned in the Go command section, PGO
is enabled by default for binaries that contain a default.pgo profile
in the main package directory. Performance improvements vary
depending on application behavior, with most programs from a
representative set of Go programs seeing between 2 and 7% improvement
from enabling PGO. See the PGO user guide for detailed documentation.
* compiler: PGO builds can now devirtualize some interface method calls,
adding a concrete call to the most common callee. This enables further
optimization, such as inlining the callee.
* compiler: Go 1.21 improves build speed by up to 6%, largely thanks to
building the compiler itself with PGO.
* assembler: On amd64, frameless nosplit assembly functions are no
longer automatically marked as NOFRAME. Instead, the NOFRAME attribute
must be explicitly specified if desired, which is already the behavior
on other architectures supporting frame pointers. With this, the
runtime now maintains the frame pointers for stack transitions.
* assembler: The verifier that checks for incorrect uses of R15 when
dynamic linking on amd64 has been improved.
* linker: On windows/amd64, the linker (with help from the compiler) now
emits SEH unwinding data by default, which improves the integration of
Go applications with Windows debuggers and other tools.
* linker: In Go 1.21 the linker (with help from the compiler) is now
capable of deleting dead (unreferenced) global map variables, if the
number of entries in the variable initializer is sufficiently large,
and if the initializer expressions are side-effect free.
* core library: The new log/slog package provides structured logging
with levels. Structured logging emits key-value pairs to enable fast,
accurate processing of large amounts of log data. The package supports
integration with popular log analysis tools and services.
* core library: The new testing/slogtest package can help to validate
slog.Handler implementations.
* core library: The new slices package provides many common
operations on slices, using generic functions that work with slices of
any element type.
* core library: The new maps package provides several common
operations on maps, using generic functions that work with maps
of any key or element type.
* core library: The new cmp package defines the type constraint Ordered
and two new generic functions Less and Compare that are useful with
ordered types.
* Minor changes to the library: As always, there are various minor
changes and updates to the library, made with the Go 1 promise of
compatibility in mind. There are also various performance
improvements, not enumerated here.
* archive/tar: The implementation of the io/fs.FileInfo interface
returned by Header.FileInfo now implements a String method that calls
io/fs.FormatFileInfo.
* archive/zip: The implementation of the io/fs.FileInfo interface
returned by FileHeader.FileInfo now implements a String method that
calls io/fs.FormatFileInfo.
* archive/zip: The implementation of the io/fs.DirEntry interface
returned by the io/fs.ReadDirFile.ReadDir method of the io/fs.File
returned by Reader.Open now implements a String method that calls
io/fs.FormatDirEntry.
* bytes: The Buffer type has two new methods: Available and
AvailableBuffer. These may be used along with the Write method to
append directly to the Buffer.
* context: The new WithoutCancel function returns a copy of a context
that is not canceled when the original context is canceled.
* context: The new WithDeadlineCause and WithTimeoutCause functions
provide a way to set a context cancellation cause when a deadline or
timer expires. The cause may be retrieved with the Cause function.
* context: The new AfterFunc function registers a function to run after
a context has been cancelled.
* context: An optimization means that the results of calling Background
and TODO and converting them to a shared type can be considered equal.
In previous releases they were always different. Comparing Context
values for equality has never been well-defined, so this is not
considered to be an incompatible change.
* crypto/ecdsa: PublicKey.Equal and PrivateKey.Equal now execute in
constant time.
* crypto/elliptic: All of the Curve methods have been deprecated, along
with GenerateKey, Marshal, and Unmarshal. For ECDH
operations, the new crypto/ecdh package should be used instead. For
lower-level operations, use third-party modules such as
filippo.io/nistec.
* crypto/rand: The crypto/rand package now uses the getrandom system
call on NetBSD 10.0 and later.
* crypto/rsa: The performance of private RSA operations (decryption and
signing) is now better than Go 1.19 for GOARCH=amd64 and GOARCH=arm64.
It had regressed in Go 1.20.
* crypto/rsa: Due to the addition of private fields to
PrecomputedValues, PrivateKey.Precompute must be called for
optimal performance even if deserializing (for example from JSON) a
previously-precomputed private key.
* crypto/rsa: PublicKey.Equal and PrivateKey.Equal now execute in
constant time.
* crypto/rsa: The GenerateMultiPrimeKey function and the
PrecomputedValues.CRTValues field have been deprecated.
PrecomputedValues.CRTValues will still be populated when
PrivateKey.Precompute is called, but the values will not be used
during decryption operations.
* crypto/sha256: SHA-224 and SHA-256 operations now use native
instructions when available when GOARCH=amd64, providing a performance
improvement on the order of 3-4x.
* crypto/tls: Servers now skip verifying client certificates (including
not running Config.VerifyPeerCertificate) for resumed connections,
besides checking the expiration time. This makes session tickets
larger when client certificates are in use. Clients were already
skipping verification on resumption, but now check the expiration time
even if Config.InsecureSkipVerify is set.
* crypto/tls: Applications can now control the content of session
tickets.
* crypto/tls: The new SessionState type describes a resumable session.
* crypto/tls: The SessionState.Bytes method and ParseSessionState
function serialize and deserialize a SessionState.
* crypto/tls: The Config.WrapSession and Config.UnwrapSession hooks
convert a SessionState to and from a ticket on the server side.
* crypto/tls: The Config.EncryptTicket and Config.DecryptTicket methods
provide a default implementation of WrapSession and UnwrapSession.
* crypto/tls: The ClientSessionState.ResumptionState method and
NewResumptionState function may be used by a ClientSessionCache
implementation to store and resume sessions on the client side.
* crypto/tls: To reduce the potential for session tickets to be used as
a tracking mechanism across connections, the server now issues new
tickets on every resumption (if they are supported and not disabled)
and tickets don't bear an identifier for the key that encrypted them
anymore. If passing a large number of keys to
Conn.SetSessionTicketKeys, this might lead to a noticeable performance
cost.
* crypto/tls: Both clients and servers now implement the Extended Master
Secret extension (RFC 7627). The deprecation of
ConnectionState.TLSUnique has been reverted, and is now set for
resumed connections that support Extended Master Secret.
* crypto/tls: The new QUICConn type provides support for QUIC
implementations, including 0-RTT support. Note that this is not itself
a QUIC implementation, and 0-RTT is still not supported in TLS.
* crypto/tls: The new VersionName function returns the name for a TLS
version number.
* crypto/tls: The TLS alert codes sent from the server for client
authentication failures have been improved. Previously, these failures
always resulted in a "bad certificate" alert. Now, certain failures
will result in more appropriate alert codes, as defined by RFC 5246
and RFC 8446:
* crypto/tls: For TLS 1.3 connections, if the server is configured to
require client authentication using RequireAnyClientCert or
RequireAndVerifyClientCert, and the client does not provide any
certificate, the server will now return the "certificate required"
alert.
* crypto/tls: If the client provides a certificate that is not signed by
the set of trusted certificate authorities configured
on the server, the server will return the "unknown certificate
authority" alert.
* crypto/tls: If the client provides a certificate that is either
expired or not yet valid, the server will return the "expired
certificate" alert.
* crypto/tls: In all other scenarios related to client authentication
failures, the server still returns "bad certificate".
* crypto/x509: RevocationList.RevokedCertificates has been deprecated
and replaced with the new RevokedCertificateEntries field, which is a
slice of RevocationListEntry. RevocationListEntry contains all of the
fields in pkix.RevokedCertificate, as well as the revocation reason
code.
* crypto/x509: Name constraints are now correctly enforced on non-leaf
certificates, and not on the certificates where they are expressed.
* debug/elf: The new File.DynValue method may be used to retrieve the
numeric values listed with a given dynamic tag.
* debug/elf: The constant flags permitted in a DT_FLAGS_1 dynamic tag
are now defined with type DynFlag1. These tags have names starting
with DF_1.
* debug/elf: The package now defines the constant COMPRESS_ZSTD.
* debug/elf: The package now defines the constant R_PPC64_REL24_P9NOTOC.
* debug/pe: Attempts to read from a section containing uninitialized
data using Section.Data or the reader returned by Section.Open now
return an error.
* embed: The io/fs.File returned by FS.Open now has a ReadAt method that
implements io.ReaderAt.
* embed: Calling FS.Open.Stat will return a type that now implements a
String method that calls io/fs.FormatFileInfo.
* errors: The new ErrUnsupported error provides a standardized way to
indicate that a requested operation may not be performed because it is
unsupported. For example, a call to os.Link when using a file system
that does not support hard links.
* flag: The new BoolFunc function and FlagSet.BoolFunc method define a
flag that does not require an argument and calls a function when the
flag is used. This is similar to Func but for a boolean flag.
* flag: A flag definition (via Bool, BoolVar, Int, IntVar, etc.) will
panic if Set has already been called on a flag with the same name.
This change is intended to detect cases where changes in
initialization order cause flag operations to occur in a different
order than expected. In many cases the fix to this problem is to
introduce a explicit package dependence to correctly order the
definition before any Set operations.
* go/ast: The new IsGenerated predicate reports whether a file syntax
tree contains the special comment that conventionally indicates that
the file was generated by a tool.
* go/ast: The new File.GoVersion field records the minimum Go version
required by any //go:build or // +build directives.
* go/build: The package now parses build directives (comments that start
with //go:) in file headers (before the package declaration). These
directives are available in the new Package fields Directives,
TestDirectives, and XTestDirectives.
* go/build/constraint: The new GoVersion function returns the minimum Go
version implied by a build expression.
* go/token: The new File.Lines method returns the file's line-number
table in the same form as accepted by File.SetLines.
* go/types: The new Package.GoVersion method returns the Go language
version used to check the package.
* hash/maphash: The hash/maphash package now has a pure Go
implementation, selectable with the purego build tag.
* html/template: The new error ErrJSTemplate is returned when an action
appears in a JavaScript template literal. Previously an unexported
error was returned.
* io/fs: The new FormatFileInfo function returns a formatted version of
a FileInfo. The new FormatDirEntry function returns a formatted
version of a DirEntry. The implementation of DirEntry returned by
ReadDir now implements a String method that calls FormatDirEntry, and
the same is true for the DirEntry value passed to WalkDirFunc.
* math/big: The new Int.Float64 method returns the nearest
floating-point value to a multi-precision integer, along with an
indication of any rounding that occurred.
* net: On Linux, the net package can now use Multipath TCP when the
kernel supports it. It is not used by default. To use Multipath TCP
when available on a client, call the Dialer.SetMultipathTCP method
before calling the Dialer.Dial or Dialer.DialContext methods. To use
Multipath TCP when available
on a server, call the ListenConfig.SetMultipathTCP method before
calling the ListenConfig.Listen method. Specify the network as "tcp"
or "tcp4" or "tcp6" as usual. If Multipath TCP is not supported by
the kernel or the remote host, the connection will silently fall back
to TCP. To test whether a particular connection is using Multipath
TCP, use the TCPConn.MultipathTCP method.
* net: In a future Go release we may enable Multipath TCP by default on
systems that support it.
* net/http: The new ResponseController.EnableFullDuplex method allows
server handlers to concurrently read from an HTTP/1 request body while
writing the response. Normally, the HTTP/1 server automatically
consumes any remaining request body before starting to write the
response, to avoid deadlocking clients which attempt to write a
complete request before reading the response. The EnableFullDuplex
method disables this behavior.
* net/http: The new ErrSchemeMismatch error is returned by Client and
Transport when the server responds to an HTTPS request with an HTTP
response.
* net/http: The net/http package now supports errors.ErrUnsupported, in
that the expression errors.Is(http.ErrNotSupported,
errors.ErrUnsupported) will return true.
* os: Programs may now pass an empty time.Time value to the Chtimes
function to leave either the access time or the modification time
unchanged.
* os: On Windows the File.Chdir method now changes the current directory
to the file, rather than always returning an error.
* os: On Unix systems, if a non-blocking descriptor is passed to
NewFile, calling the File.Fd method will now return a non-blocking
descriptor. Previously the descriptor was converted to blocking mode.
* os: On Windows calling Truncate on a non-existent file used to create
an empty file. It now returns an error indicating that the file does
not exist.
* os: On Windows calling TempDir now uses GetTempPath2W when available,
instead of GetTempPathW. The new behavior is a security hardening
measure that prevents temporary files created by processes running as
SYSTEM to be accessed by non-SYSTEM processes.
* os: On Windows the os package now supports working with files whose
names, stored as UTF-16, can't be represented as valid UTF-8.
* os: On Windows Lstat now resolves symbolic links for paths ending with
a path separator, consistent with its behavior on POSIX platforms.
* os: The implementation of the io/fs.DirEntry interface returned by the
ReadDir function and the File.ReadDir method now implements a String
method that calls io/fs.FormatDirEntry.
* os: The implementation of the io/fs.FS interface returned by the DirFS
function now implements the io/fs.ReadFileFS and the io/fs.ReadDirFS
interfaces.
* path/filepath: The implementation of the io/fs.DirEntry interface
passed to the function argument of WalkDir now implements a String
method that calls io/fs.FormatDirEntry.
* reflect: In Go 1.21, ValueOf no longer forces its argument to be
allocated on the heap, allowing a Value's content to be allocated on
the stack. Most operations on a Value also allow the underlying value
to be stack allocated.
* reflect: The new Value method Value.Clear clears the contents
of a map or zeros the contents of a slice. This corresponds to the new
clear built-in added to the language.
* reflect: The SliceHeader and StringHeader types are now deprecated. In
new code prefer unsafe.Slice, unsafe.SliceData, unsafe.String, or
unsafe.StringData.
* regexp: Regexp now defines MarshalText and UnmarshalText methods.
These implement encoding.TextMarshaler and encoding.TextUnmarshaler
and will be used by packages such as encoding/json.
* runtime: Textual stack traces produced by Go programs, such as those
produced when crashing, calling runtime.Stack, or collecting a
goroutine profile with debug=2, now include the IDs of the goroutines
that created each goroutine in the stack trace.
* runtime: Crashing Go applications can now opt-in to Windows Error
Reporting (WER) by setting the environment variable GOTRACEBACK=wer or
calling debug.SetTraceback("wer") before the crash. Other than
enabling WER, the runtime will behave as with GOTRACEBACK=crash. On
non-Windows systems, GOTRACEBACK=wer is ignored.
* runtime: GODEBUG=cgocheck=2, a thorough checker of cgo pointer passing
rules, is no longer available as a debug
option. Instead, it is available as an experiment using
GOEXPERIMENT=cgocheck2. In particular this means that this mode has
to be selected at build time instead of startup time.
* runtime: GODEBUG=cgocheck=1 is still available (and is still the
default).
* runtime: A new type Pinner has been added to the runtime package.
Pinners may be used to "pin" Go memory such that it may be used more
freely by non-Go code. For instance, passing Go values that reference
pinned Go memory to C code is now allowed. Previously, passing any
such nested reference was disallowed by the cgo pointer passing rules.
See the docs for more details.
* runtime/metrics: A few previously-internal GC metrics, such as live
heap size, are now available. GOGC and GOMEMLIMIT are also now
available as metrics.
* runtime/trace: Collecting traces on amd64 and arm64 now incurs a
substantially smaller CPU cost: up to a 10x improvement over the
previous release.
* runtime/trace: Traces now contain explicit stop-the-world events for
every reason the Go runtime might stop-the-world, not just garbage
collection.
* sync: The new OnceFunc, OnceValue, and OnceValues functions capture a
common use of Once to lazily initialize a value on first use.
* syscall: On Windows the Fchdir function now changes the current
directory to its argument, rather than always returning an error.
* syscall: On FreeBSD SysProcAttr has a new field Jail that may be used
to put the newly created process in a jailed environment.
* syscall: On Windows the syscall package now supports working with
files whose names, stored as UTF-16, can't be represented as valid
UTF-8. The UTF16ToString and UTF16FromString functions now convert
between UTF-16 data and WTF-8 strings. This is backward compatible as
WTF-8 is a superset of the UTF-8 format that was used in earlier
releases.
* syscall: Several error values match the new errors.ErrUnsupported,
such that errors.Is(err, errors.ErrUnsupported) returns true. ENOSYS
ENOTSUP EOPNOTSUPP EPLAN9 (Plan 9 only) ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
(Windows only) ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED (Windows only) EWINDOWS (Windows
only)
* testing: The new -test.fullpath option will print full path names in
test log messages, rather than just base names.
* testing: The new Testing function reports whether the program is a
test created by go test.
* testing/fstest: Calling Open.Stat will return a type that now
implements a String method that calls io/fs.FormatFileInfo.
* unicode: The unicode package and associated support throughout the
system has been upgraded to Unicode 15.0.0.
* Darwin port: As announced in the Go 1.20 release notes, Go 1.21
requires macOS 10.15 Catalina or later; support for previous versions
has been discontinued.
* Windows port: As announced in the Go 1.20 release notes, Go 1.21
requires at least Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016; support for
previous versions has been discontinued.
* WebAssembly port: The new go:wasmimport directive can now be used in
Go programs to import functions from the WebAssembly host.
* WebAssembly port: The Go scheduler now interacts much more efficiently
with the JavaScript event loop, especially in applications that block
frequently on asynchronous events.
* WebAssembly System Interface port: Go 1.21 adds an experimental port
to the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI), Preview 1 (GOOS=wasip1,
GOARCH=wasm).
* WebAssembly System Interface port: As a result of the addition
of the new GOOS value "wasip1", Go files named *_wasip1.go will now be
ignored by Go tools except when that GOOS value is being used. If you
have existing filenames matching that pattern, you will need to
rename them.
* ppc64/ppc64le port: On Linux, GOPPC64=power10 now generates
PC-relative instructions, prefixed instructions, and other new Power10
instructions. On AIX, GOPPC64=power10 generates Power10 instructions,
but does not generate PC-relative instructions.
* ppc64/ppc64le port: When building position-independent binaries for
GOPPC64=power10 GOOS=linux GOARCH=ppc64le, users can expect reduced
binary sizes in most cases, in some cases 3.5%. Position-independent
binaries are built for ppc64le with the following -buildmode values:
c-archive, c-shared, shared, pie, plugin.
* loong64 port: The linux/loong64 port now supports
-buildmode=c-archive, -buildmode=c-shared and -buildmode=pie.
