Golang cmd/link: linkname to runtime.addmoduledata is not forbidden

package main

import (
    _ "unsafe"
)

//go:linkname addmoduledata runtime.addmoduledata
func addmoduledata()

func main() {
    addmoduledata()
}

This program can compile ok. However, comment said do NOT call from Go. https://github.com/golang/go/blob/ebc763f76d1151d8aa3ac1b894b08527999a4938/src/runtime/stubs.go#L427-L428

And using linkname on this function will cause a linker crash when building with buildmode=plugin.

package main

import (
    _ "unsafe"
)

//go:linkname addmoduledata runtime.addmoduledata
func addmoduledata()

func FOO() {
    addmoduledata()
}

go build -buildmode=plugin a.go
# command-line-arguments
runtime.gcWriteBarrier1: phase error: addr=0x63750 but val=0x5dc00 sym=runtime.gcWriteBarrier1 type=STEXT sect=.text sect.addr=0x0 prev=runtime.addmoduledata
