bf237f534c syscall: correct type for timeout argument to Select on linux/{arm64,mips64x}
syscall.Select uses SYS_PSELECT6 on arm64 and mipx64x, however this
syscall expects its 5th argument to be of type Timespec (with seconds
and nanoseconds) instead of type Timeval (with seconds and microseconds)
This leads to the timeout being too short by a factor of 1000.

This CL fixes this by adjusting the timeout argument accordingly,
similarly to how glibc does it for architectures where neither
SYS_SELECT nor SYS__NEWSELECT are available.

Fixes #22246

9e6b79a5df syscall: use CLONE_VFORK and CLONE_VM
This greatly improves the latency of starting a child process when
the Go process is using a lot of memory. Even though the kernel uses
copy-on-write, preparation for that can take up to several 100ms under
certain conditions. All other goroutines are suspended while starting
a subprocess so this latency directly affects total throughput.

With CLONE_VM the child process shares the same memory with the parent
process. On its own this would lead to conflicting use of the same
memory, so CLONE_VFORK is used to suspend the parent process until the
child releases the memory when switching to to the new program binary
via the exec syscall. When the parent process continues to run, one
has to consider the changes to memory that the child process did,
namely the return address of the syscall function needs to be restored
from a register.

A simple benchmark has shown a difference in latency of 16ms vs. 0.5ms
at 10GB memory usage. However, much higher latencies of several 100ms
have been observed in real world scenarios. For more information see
comments on #5838.

Fixes #5838

6c517df4da syscall: unify NsecToTime{spec,val}, fix for times < 1970
All the implementations of NsecToTimespec and NsecToTimeval were the
same other than types. Write a single version that uses
GOARCH/GOOS-specific setTimespec and setTimeval functions to handle the
types.

The logic in NsecToTimespec and NsecToTimeval caused times before 1970
to have a negative usec/nsec. The Linux kernel requires that usec
contain a positive number; for consistency, we do this for both
NsecToTimespec and NsecToTimeval.

1b9499b069 syscall: make Getpagesize return page size from runtime
syscall.Getpagesize currently returns hard-coded page sizes on all
architectures (some of which are probably always wrong, and some of
which are definitely not always right). The runtime now has this
information, queried from the OS during runtime init, so make
syscall.Getpagesize return the page size that the runtime knows.

Updates #10180.

mips64.
