This commit reworks multiway select statements to use normal control
flow primitives instead of the previous setjmp/longjmp-like behavior.
This simplifies liveness analysis and should prevent issues around
"returns twice" function calls within SSA passes.
test/live.go is updated because liveness analysis's CFG is more
representative of actual control flow. The case bodies are the only
real successors of the selectgo call, but previously the selectsend,
selectrecv, etc. calls were included in the successors list too.
Updates #19331.

The gcCompat mode was introduced to match the new parser's node position
setup exactly with the positions used by the original parser. Some of the
gcCompat adjustments were required to satisfy syntax error test cases,
and the rest were required to make toolstash cmp pass.
This change removes the former gcCompat adjustments and instead adjusts
the respective test cases as necessary. In some cases this makes the error
lines consistent with the ones reported by gccgo.
Where it has changed, the position associated with a given syntactic construct
is the position (line/col number) of the left-most token belonging to the
construct.

If there is a defer, and that defer recovers, then the caller
can see all of the output parameters. That means that we must
mark all the output parameters live at any point which might panic.
If there is no defer then this is not necessary. This is implemented.
We could also detect whether there is a recover in any of the defers.
If not, we would need to mark only output params that the defer
actually references (and the closure mechanism already does that).
This is not implemented.

Loop breaking with a counter. Benchmarked (see comments),
eyeball checked for sanity on popular loops. This code
ought to handle loops in general, and properly inserts phi
functions in cases where the earlier version might not have.
Includes test, plus modifications to test/run.go to deal with
timeout and killing looping test. Tests broken by the addition
of extra code (branch frequency and live vars) for added
checks turn the check insertion off.
If GOEXPERIMENT=preemptibleloops, the compiler inserts reschedule
checks on every backedge of every reducible loop. Alternately,
specifying GO_GCFLAGS=-d=ssa/insert_resched_checks/on will
enable it for a single compilation, but because the core Go
libraries contain some loops that may run long, this is less
likely to have the desired effect.
This is intended as a tool to help in the study and diagnosis
of GC and other latency problems, now that goal STW GC latency
is on the order of 100 microseconds or less.

This is an extension of

to mark all the temporaries, not just the ssa-generated ones.
Before-and-after ls -l `go tool -n compile` shows a 3%
reduction in size (or rather, a prior 3% inflation for
failing to filter temps out properly.)
Replaced name-dependent "is it a temp?" tests with calls to
*Node.IsAutoTmp(), which depends on AutoTemp. Also replace
calls to istemp(n) with n.IsAutoTmp(), to reduce duplication
and clean up function name space. Generated temporaries
now come with a "." prefix to avoid (apparently harmless)

To compile:
m[k] = v
instead of:
mapassign(maptype, m, &k, &v), do
do:
*mapassign(maptype, m, &k) = v
mapassign returns a pointer to the value slot in the map. It is just
like mapaccess except that it will allocate a new slot if k is not
already present in the map.
This makes map accesses faster but potentially larger (codewise).
It is faster because the write into the map is done when the compiler
knows the concrete type, so it can be done with a few store
instructions instead of calling typedmemmove. We also potentially
avoid stack temporaries to hold v.
The code can be larger when the map has pointers in its value type,
since there is a write barrier call in addition to the mapassign call.
That makes the code at the callsite a bit bigger (go binary is 0.3%
bigger).
This CL is in preparation for doing operations like m[k] += v with
only a single runtime call. That will roughly double the speed of
such operations.

- the assembler rewrites DIV/MOD to runtime calls, which on NaCl

The flag updates error annotations in test files from actual compiler output.
This is useful when doing compiler changes that add/remove/change lots of errors,
or when adding lots of new tests.
Also I noticed at least 2 cases where annotation were sub-optimal:
1. The annotation was "leaking param p" when the actual error is
"leaking param p to result ~r1".
2. The annotation was "leaking param m" when the actual errors
are "leaking param m" and "leaking param mv1".
For now it works only for errorcheck mode.
Also, apply the update to escape and liveness tests.
Some files have gccgo-specific errors of the form "gc error|gccgo error",
so it is risky to run update on all files. Gccgo-specific error
does not necessary contain '|', it can be just truncated.

Consider an interface value i of type I and concrete value c of type C.
Prior to this CL, i==c was evaluated as
I(c) == i
Evaluating I(c) can allocate.
This CL changes the evaluation of i==c to
x, ok := i.(C); ok && x == c
The new generated code is shorter and does not allocate directly.
If C is small, as it is in every instance in the stdlib,
the new code also uses less stack space
and makes one runtime call instead of two.
If C is very large, the original implementation is used.
The cutoff for "very large" is 1<<16,
following the stack vs heap cutoff used elsewhere.
This kind of comparison occurs in 38 places in the stdlib,
mostly in the net and os packages.

We need to change the interface value representation for
concurrent garbage collection, so that there is no ambiguity
about whether the data word holds a pointer or scalar.
This CL does NOT make any representation changes.
Instead, it removes representation assumptions from
various pieces of code throughout the tree.
The isdirectiface function in cmd/gc/subr.c is now
the only place that decides that policy.
The policy propagates out from there in the reflect
metadata, as a new flag in the internal kind value.
A follow-up CL will change the representation by

[Same as CL 102820043 except applied changes to 6g/gsubr.c
also to 5g/gsubr.c and 8g/gsubr.c. The problem I had last night
trying to do that was that 8g's copy of nodarg has different
(but equivalent) control flow and I was pasting the new code
into the wrong place.]
Description from CL 102820043:
The 'nodarg' function is used to obtain a Node*
representing a function argument or result.
It returned a brand new Node*, but that violates
the guarantee in most places in the compiler that
two Node*s refer to the same variable if and only if
they are the same Node* pointer. Reestablish that
invariant by making nodarg return a preexisting
named variable if present.
Having fixed that, avoid any copy during x=x in
componentgen, because the VARDEF we emit
before the copy marks the lhs x as dead incorrectly.
The change in walk.c avoids modifying the result
of nodarg. This was the only place in the compiler
that did so.
Fixes#8097.

Breaks 386 and arm builds.
The obvious reason is that this CL only edited 6g/gsubr.c
and failed to edit 5g/gsubr.c and 8g/gsubr.c.
However, the obvious CL applying the same edit to those
files (CL 101900043) causes mysterious build failures
in various of the standard package tests, usually involving
reflect. Something deep and subtle is broken but only on
the 32-bit systems.
Undo this CL for now.

Trying to make GODEBUG=gcdead=1 work with liveness
and in particular ambiguously live variables.
1. In the liveness computation, mark all ambiguously live
variables as live for the entire function, except the entry.
They are zeroed directly after entry, and we need them not
to be poisoned thereafter.
2. In the liveness computation, compute liveness (and deadness)
for all parameters, not just pointer-containing parameters.
Otherwise gcdead poisons untracked scalar parameters and results.
3. Fix liveness debugging print for -live=2 to use correct bitmaps.
(Was not updated for compaction during compaction CL.)
4. Correct varkill during map literal initialization.
Was killing the map itself instead of the inserted value temp.
5. Disable aggressive varkill cleanup for call arguments if
the call appears in a defer or go statement.
6. In the garbage collector, avoid bug scanning empty
strings. An empty string is two zeros. The multiword
code only looked at the first zero and then interpreted
the next two bits in the bitmap as an ordinary word bitmap.
For a string the bits are 11 00, so if a live string was zero
length with a 0 base pointer, the poisoning code treated
the length as an ordinary word with code 00, meaning it
needed poisoning, turning the string into a poison-length
string with base pointer 0. By the same logic I believe that
a live nil slice (bits 11 01 00) will have its cap poisoned.
Always scan full multiword struct.
7. In the runtime, treat both poison words (PoisonGC and
PoisonStack) as invalid pointers that warrant crashes.
Manual testing as follows:
- Create a script called gcdead on your PATH containing:
#!/bin/bash
GODEBUG=gcdead=1 GOGC=10 GOTRACEBACK=2 exec "$@"
- Now you can build a test and then run 'gcdead ./foo.test'.
- More importantly, you can run 'go test -short -exec gcdead std'
to run all the tests.
Fixes#7676.
While here, enable the precise scanning of slices, since that was
disabled due to bugs like these. That now works, both with and
without gcdead.
Fixes#7549.

1. Use n->alloc, not n->left, to hold the allocated temp being
passed from orderstmt/orderexpr to walk.
2. Treat method values the same as closures.
3. Use killed temporary for composite literal passed to
non-escaping function argument.
4. Clean temporaries promptly in if and for statements.
5. Clean temporaries promptly in select statements.
As part of this, move all the temporary-generating logic
out of select.c into order.c, so that the temporaries can
be reclaimed.
With the new temporaries, can re-enable the 1-entry
select optimization. Fixes issue 7672.
While we're here, fix a 1-line bug in select processing
turned up by the new liveness test (but unrelated; select.c:72).
Fixes#7686.
6. Clean temporaries (but not particularly promptly) in switch
and range statements.
7. Clean temporary used during convT2E/convT2I.
8. Clean temporaries promptly during && and || expressions.

CL 81940043 reduced the number of ambiguously live temps
in the godoc binary from 860 to 711.
CL 83090046 reduced the number from 711 to 121.
This CL reduces the number from 121 to 23.
15 the 23 that remain are in fact ambiguously live.
The final 8 could be fixed but are not trivial and
not common enough to warrant work at this point
in the release cycle.
These numbers only count ambiguously live temps,
not ambiguously live user-declared variables.
There are 18 such variables in the godoc binary after this CL,
so a total of 41 ambiguously live temps or user-declared
variables.
The net effect is that zeroing anything on entry to a function
should now be a rare event, whereas earlier it was the
common case.
This is good enough for Go 1.3, and probably good
enough for future releases too.

1. In functions with heap-allocated result variables or with
defer statements, the return sequence requires more than
just a single RET instruction. There is an optimization that
arranges for all returns to jump to a single copy of the return
epilogue in this case. Unfortunately, that optimization is
fundamentally incompatible with PC-based liveness information:
it takes PCs at many different points in the function and makes
them all land at one PC, making the combined liveness information
at that target PC a mess. Disable this optimization, so that each
return site gets its own copy of the 'call deferreturn' and the
copying of result variables back from the heap.
This removes quite a few spurious 'ambiguously live' variables.
2. Let orderexpr allocate temporaries that are passed by address
to a function call and then die on return, so that we can arrange
an appropriate VARKILL.
2a. Do this for ... slices.
2b. Do this for closure structs.
2c. Do this for runtime.concatstring, which is the implementation
of large string additions. Change representation of OADDSTR to
an explicit list in typecheck to avoid reconstructing list in both
walk and order.
3. Let orderexpr allocate the temporary variable copies used for
range loops, so that they can be killed when the loop is over.
Similarly, let it allocate the temporary holding the map iterator.
CL 81940043 reduced the number of ambiguously live temps
in the godoc binary from 860 to 711.
This CL reduces the number to 121. Still more to do, but another
good checkpoint.

The new channel and map runtime routines take pointers
to values, typically temporaries. Without help, the compiler
cannot tell when those temporaries stop being needed,
because it isn't sure what happened to the pointer.
Arrange to insert explicit VARKILL instructions for these
temporaries so that the liveness analysis can avoid seeing
them as "ambiguously live".
The change is made in order.c, which was already in charge of
introducing temporaries to preserve the order-of-evaluation
guarantees. Now its job has expanded to include introducing
temporaries as needed by runtime routines, and then also
inserting the VARKILL annotations for all these temporaries,
so that their lifetimes can be shortened.
In order to do its job for the map runtime routines, order.c arranges
that all map lookups or map assignments have the form:
x = m[k]
x, y = m[k]
m[k] = x
where x, y, and k are simple variables (often temporaries).
Likewise, receiving from a channel is now always:
x = <-c
In order to provide the map guarantee, order.c is responsible for
rewriting x op= y into x = x op y, so that m[k] += z becomes
t = m[k]
t2 = t + z
m[k] = t2
While here, fix a few bugs in order.c's traversal: it was failing to
walk into select and switch case bodies, so order of evaluation
guarantees were not preserved in those situations.
Added tests to test/reorder2.go.
Fixes#7671.
In gc/popt's temporary-merging optimization, allow merging
of temporaries with their address taken as long as the liveness
ranges do not intersect. (There is a good chance of that now
that we have VARKILL annotations to limit the liveness range.)
Explicitly killing temporaries cuts the number of ambiguously
live temporaries that must be zeroed in the godoc binary from
860 to 711, or -17%. There is more work to be done, but this
is a good checkpoint.

1. On entry to a function, only zero the ambiguously live stack variables.
Before, we were zeroing all stack variables containing pointers.
The zeroing is pretty inefficient right now (issue 7624), but there are also
too many stack variables detected as ambiguously live (issue 7345),
and that must be addressed before deciding how to improve the zeroing code.
(Changes in 5g/ggen.c, 6g/ggen.c, 8g/ggen.c, gc/pgen.c)
Fixes#7647.
2. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis preserve the
whole-variable liveness property expected by the garbage collection
bitmap liveness analysis. That is, if the regopt liveness decides that
one word in a struct needs to be preserved, make sure it preserves
the entire struct. This is particularly important for multiword values
such as strings, slices, and interfaces, in which all the words need
to be present in order to understand the meaning.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c.)
Fixes#7591.
3. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis treat a variable
as having its address taken - which makes it preserved across
all future calls - whenever n->addrtaken is set, for consistency
with the gc bitmap liveness analysis, even if there is no machine
instruction actually taking the address. In this case n->addrtaken
is incorrect (a nicer way to put it is overconservative), and ideally
there would be no such cases, but they can happen and the two
analyses need to agree.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c; test in bug484.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
4. Remove spurious VARDEF annotations. As the comment in
gc/pgen.c explains, the VARDEF must immediately precede
the initialization. It cannot be too early, and it cannot be too late.
In particular, if a function call sits between the VARDEF and the
actual machine instructions doing the initialization, the variable
will be treated as live during that function call even though it is
uninitialized, leading to problems.
(Changes in gc/gen.c; test in live.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
5. Do not treat loading the address of a wide value as a signal
that the value must be initialized. Instead depend on the existence
of a VARDEF or the first actual read/write of a word in the value.
If the load is in order to pass the address to a function that does
the actual initialization, treating the load as an implicit VARDEF
causes the same problems as described in step 4.
The alternative is to arrange to zero every such value before
passing it to the real initialization function, but this is a much
easier and more efficient change.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
6. Treat wide input parameters with their address taken as
initialized on entry to the function. Otherwise they look
"ambiguously live" and we will try to emit code to zero them.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
7. An array of length 0 has no pointers, even if the element type does.
Without this change, the zeroing code complains when asked to
clear a 0-length array.
(Changes in gc/reflect.c.)

The VARDEF placement must be before the initialization
but after any final use. If you have something like s = ... using s ...
the rhs must be evaluated, then the VARDEF, then the lhs
assigned.
There is a large comment in pgen.c on gvardef explaining
this in more detail.
This CL also includes Ian's suggestions from earlier CLs,
namely commenting the use of mode in link.h and fixing
the precedence of the ~r check in dcl.c.
This CL enables the check that if liveness analysis decides
a variable is live on entry to the function, that variable must
be a function parameter (not a result, and not a local variable).
If this check fails, it indicates a bug in the liveness analysis or
in the generated code being analyzed.
The race detector generates invalid code for append(x, y...).
The code declares a temporary t and then uses cap(t) before
initializing t. The new liveness check catches this bug and
stops the compiler from writing out the buggy code.
Consequently, this CL disables the race detector tests in
run.bash until the race detector bug can be fixed
(golang.org/issue/7334).
Except for the race detector bug, the liveness analysis check
does not detect any problems (this CL and the previous CLs
fixed all the detected problems).
The net test still fails with GOGC=0 but the rest of the tests
now pass or time out (because GOGC=0 is so slow).
