net: implement asynchonous cancelable I/O on Plan 9 This change is an experimental implementation of asynchronous cancelable I/O operations on Plan 9, which are required to implement deadlines. There are no asynchronous syscalls on Plan 9. I/O operations are performed with blocking pread and pwrite syscalls. Implementing deadlines in Go requires a way to interrupt I/O operations. It is possible to interrupt reads and writes on a TCP connection by forcing the closure of the TCP connection. This approach has been used successfully in CL 31390. However, we can't implement deadlines with this method, since we require to be able to reuse the connection after the timeout. On Plan 9, I/O operations are interrupted when the process receives a note. We can rely on this behavior to implement a more generic approach. When doing an I/O operation (read or write), we start the I/O in its own process, then wait for the result asynchronously. The process is able to handle the "hangup" note. When receiving the "hangup" note, the currently running I/O operation is canceled and the process returns. This way, deadlines can be implemented by sending an "hangup" note to the process running the blocking I/O operation, after the expiration of a timer. Fixes #11932. Fixes #17498.

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 file). 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-source.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
