When the compiler builds a Go package with DWARF 5 generation enabled, it emits relocations into various generated DWARF symbols (ex: SDWARFFCN) that use the R_DWTXTADDR_* flavor of relocations. The specific size of this relocation is selected based on the total number of functions in the package -- if the package is tiny (just a couple funcs) we can use R_DWTXTADDR_U1 relocs (which target just a byte); if the package is larger we might need to use the 2-byte or 3-byte flavor of this reloc. Prior to this patch, the strategy used to pick the right relocation size was flawed in that it didn't take into account packages with assembly code. For example, if you have a package P with 200 funcs written in Go source and 200 funcs written in assembly, you can't use the R_DWTXTADDR_U1 reloc flavor for indirect text references since the real function count for the package (asm + go) exceeds 255. The new strategy (with this patch) is to have the compiler look at the "symabis" file to determine the count of assembly functions. For the assembler, rather than create additional plumbing to pass in the Go source func count we just use an dummy (artificially high) function count so as to select a relocation that will be large enough. Fixes #72810. Updates #26379.
