The SudoG used to sit on the stack, so it was cheap to allocated and didn't need to be cleaned up when finished. For the conversion to Go, we had to move sudog off the stack for a few reasons, so we added a cache of recently used sudogs to keep allocation cheap. But we didn't add any of the necessary cleanup before adding a SudoG to the new cache, and so the cached SudoGs had stale pointers inside them that have caused all sorts of awful, hard to debug problems. CL 155760043 made sure SudoG.elem is cleaned up. CL 150520043 made sure SudoG.selectdone is cleaned up. This CL makes sure SudoG.next, SudoG.prev, and SudoG.waitlink are cleaned up. I should have done this when I did the other two fields; instead I wasted a week tracking down a leak they caused. A dangling SudoG.waitlink can point into a sudogcache list that has been "forgotten" in order to let the GC collect it, but that dangling .waitlink keeps the list from being collected. And then the list holding the SudoG with the dangling waitlink can find itself in the same situation, and so on. We end up with lists of lists of unusable SudoGs that are still linked into the object graph and never collected (given the right mix of non-trivial selects and non-channel synchronization). More details in golang.org/issue/9110. Fixes #9110. LGTM=r R=r CC=dvyukov, golang-codereviews, iant, khr https://golang.org/cl/177870043

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
