Currently mark workers attach to their designated Ps before parking,
either during initialization or after performing a phase transition.
However, in both of these cases, it's possible that the mark worker is
running on a different P than the one it attaches to. This is a
problem, because as soon as the worker attaches to a P, that P's
scheduler can execute the worker. If the worker hasn't yet parked on
the P it's actually running on, this means the worker G will be
running in two places at once. The most visible consequence of this is
that once the first instance of the worker does park, it will clear
g.m and the second instance will crash shortly when it tries to use
g.m.
Fix this by moving the attach to the gopark callback. At this point,
the G is genuinely stopped and the callback is running on the system
stack, so it's safe for another P's scheduler to pick up the worker G.

f90b48e intended to require the stack barrier lock in all cases of
sigprof that walked the user stack, but got it wrong. In particular,
if sp < gp.stack.lo || gp.stack.hi < sp, tracebackUser would be true,
but we wouldn't acquire the stack lock. If it then turned out that we
were in a cgo call, it would walk the stack without the lock.
In fact, the whole structure of stack locking is sigprof is somewhat
wrong because it assumes the G to lock is gp.m.curg, but all three
gentraceback calls start from potentially different Gs.
To fix this, we lower the gcTryLockStackBarriers calls much closer to
the gentraceback calls. There are now three separate trylock calls,
each clearly associated with a gentraceback and the locked G clearly
matches the G from which the gentraceback starts. This actually brings
the sigprof logic closer to what it originally was before stack
barrier locking.
This depends on "runtime: increase assumed stack size in
externalthreadhandler" because it very slightly increases the stack
used by sigprof; without this other commit, this is enough to blow the
profiler thread's assumed stack size.
Fixes#12528 (hopefully for real this time!).
For the 1.5 branch, though it will require some backporting. On the
1.5 branch, this will *not* require the "runtime: increase assumed
stack size in externalthreadhandler" commit: there's no pcvalue cache,
so the used stack is smaller.

Currently, if sigprof determines that the G is in user code (not cgo
or libcall code), it will only traceback the G stack if it can acquire
the stack barrier lock. However, it has no such restriction if the G
is in cgo or libcall code. Because cgo calls count as syscalls, stack
scanning and stack barrier installation can occur during a cgo call,
which means sigprof could attempt to traceback a G in a cgo call while
scanstack is installing stack barriers in that G's stack. As a result,
the following sequence of events can cause the sigprof traceback to
panic with "missed stack barrier":
1. M1: G1 performs a Cgo call (which, on Windows, is any system call,
which could explain why this is easier to reproduce on Windows).
2. M1: The Cgo call puts G1 into _Gsyscall state.
3. M2: GC starts a scan of G1's stack. It puts G1 in to _Gscansyscall
and acquires the stack barrier lock.
4. M3: A profiling signal comes in. On Windows this is a global
(though I don't think this matters), so the runtime stops M1 and
calls sigprof for G1.
5. M3: sigprof fails to acquire the stack barrier lock (because the
GC's stack scan holds it).
6. M3: sigprof observes that G1 is in a Cgo call, so it calls
gentraceback on G1 with its Cgo transition point.
7. M3: gentraceback on G1 grabs the currently empty g.stkbar slice.
8. M2: GC finishes scanning G1's stack and installing stack barriers.
9. M3: gentraceback encounters one of the just-installed stack
barriers and panics.
This commit fixes this by only allowing cgo tracebacks if sigprof can
acquire the stack barrier lock, just like in the regular user
traceback case.
For good measure, we put the same constraint on libcall tracebacks.
This case is probably already safe because, unlike cgo calls, libcalls
leave the G in _Grunning and prevent reaching a safe point, so
scanstack cannot run during a libcall. However, this also means that
sigprof will always acquire the stack barrier lock without contention,
so there's no cost to adding this constraint to libcall tracebacks.
Fixes#12528. For 1.5.3 (will require some backporting).

Currently, sysmon triggers a forced GC solely based on
memstats.last_gc. However, memstats.last_gc isn't updated until mark
termination, so once sysmon starts triggering forced GC, it will keep
triggering them until GC finishes. The first of these actually starts
a GC; the remainder up to the last print "GC forced", but gcStart
returns immediately because gcphase != _GCoff; then the last may start
another GC if the previous GC finishes (and sets last_gc) between
sysmon triggering it and gcStart checking the GC phase.
Fix this by expanding the condition for starting a forced GC to also
require that no GC is currently running. This, combined with the way
forcegchelper blocks until the GC cycle is started, ensures sysmon
only starts one GC when the time exceeds the forced GC threshold.

stack barriers for a recover or a memmove to the stack.
This commit cleans up and improves the stack locking code. It
abstracts out the lock and unlock operations. It uses the lock
consistently everywhere we perform stack operations, and pushes the
lock/unlock down closer to where the stack barrier operations happen
to make it more obvious what it's protecting. Finally, it modifies
sigprof so that instead of spinning until it acquires the lock, it
simply doesn't perform a traceback if it can't acquire it. This is
necessary to prevent self-deadlock.

The PowerPC ISA does not have a PC-relative load instruction, which poses
obvious challenges when generating position-independent code. The way the ELFv2
ABI addresses this is to specify that r2 points to a per "module" (shared
library or executable) TOC pointer. Maintaining this pointer requires
cooperation between codegen and the system linker:
* Non-leaf functions leave space on the stack at r1+24 to save the TOC pointer.
* A call to a function that *might* have to go via a PLT stub must be followed
by a nop instruction that the system linker can replace with "ld r1, 24(r1)"
to restore the TOC pointer (only when dynamically linking Go code).
* When calling a function via a function pointer, the address of the function
must be in r12, and the first couple of instructions (the "global entry
point") of the called function use this to derive the address of the TOC
for the module it is in.
* When calling a function that is implemented in the same module, the system
linker adjusts the call to skip over the instructions mentioned above (the
"local entry point"), assuming that r2 is already correctly set.
So this changeset adds the global entry point instructions, sets the metadata so
the system linker knows where the local entry point is, inserts code to save the
TOC pointer at 24(r1), adds a nop after any call not known to be local and copes
with the odd non-local code transfer in the runtime (e.g. the stuff around
jmpdefer). It does not actually compile PIC yet.

sigprof tracebacks the stack across systemstack switches to make
profile tracebacks more complete. However, it does this even if the
user stack is currently being copied, which means it may be in an
inconsistent state that will cause the traceback to panic.
One specific way this can happen is during stack shrinking. Some
goroutine blocks for STW, then enters gchelper, which then assists
with root marking. If that root marking happens to pick the original
goroutine and its stack needs to be shrunk, it will begin to copy that
stack. During this copy, the stack is generally inconsistent and, in
particular, the actual locations of the stack barriers and their
recorded locations are temporarily out of sync. If a SIGPROF happens
during this inconsistency, it will walk the stack all the way back to
the blocked goroutine and panic when it fails to unwind the stack
barriers.
Fix this by disallowing jumping to the user stack during SIGPROF if
that user stack is in the process of being copied.

However, we (unintentionally) did not apply this restriction to idle
mark workers. As a result, these can start in the interim between mark
1 completion and mark 2 starting. This explains why it was necessary
to reset the root marking jobs using carefully ordered atomic writes
when setting up mark 2. It also means that, even though we definitely
enqueue work before starting mark 2, it may be drained by the time we
reset the mark 2 barrier. If this happens, currently the only thing
preventing the runtime from deadlocking is that the scheduler itself
also checks for mark completion and will signal mark 2 completion.
Were it not for the odd behavior of idle workers, this check in the
scheduler would not be necessary.
Clean all of this up and prepare to remove this check in the scheduler
by applying the same restriction to starting idle mark workers.

There are several steps to stopping and starting the world and
currently they're open-coded in several places. The garbage collector
is the only thing that needs to stop and start the world in a
non-trivial pattern. Replace all other uses with calls to higher-level
functions that implement the entire pattern necessary to stop and
start the world.
This is a pure refectoring and should not change any code semantics.
In the following commits, we'll make changes that are easier to do
with this abstraction in place.
This commit renames the old starttheworld to startTheWorldWithSema.
This is a slight misnomer right now because the callers release
worldsema just before calling this. However, a later commit will swap
these and I don't want to think of another name in the mean time.

This CL revises CL 7504 to use explicitly uintptr types for the
struct fields that are going to be updated sometimes without
write barriers. The result is that the fields are now updated *always*
without write barriers.
This approach has two important properties:
1) Now the GC never looks at the field, so if the missing reference
could cause a problem, it will do so all the time, not just when the
write barrier is missed at just the right moment.
2) Now a write barrier never happens for the field, avoiding the
(correct) detection of inconsistent write barriers when GODEBUG=wbshadow=1.

With the new buildmodes c-archive and c-shared, it is possible for a
cgo call to come in early in the lifecycle of a Go program. Calls
before the runtime has been initialized are caught by
_cgo_wait_runtime_init_done. However a call can come in after the
runtime has initialized, but before the program's package init
functions have finished running.
To avoid this cgocallback checks m.ncgo to see if we are on a thread
running Go. If not, we may be a foreign thread and it blocks until
main_init is complete.

According to Go execution modes, a Go program compiled with
-buildmode=c-archive has a main function, but it is ignored on run.
This gives the runtime the information it needs not to run the main.
I have this working with pending linker changes on darwin/amd64.

This is Part 2 of the change, see Part 1 here: in https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/7692/
Suggested by iant@, we use the library initialization entry point to:
- create a new OS thread and run the "regular" runtime init stack on
that thread
- return immediately from the main (i.e., loader) thread
- at the first CGO invocation, we wait for the runtime initialization
to complete.
The above mechanism is implemented only on linux_amd64. Next step is to
support it on linux_arm. Other platforms don't yet support shared library
compiling/linking, but we intend to use the same strategy there as well.

GODEBUG=gctrace=1 turns on a per-GC cycle trace line. The current line
is left over from the STW garbage collector and includes a lot of
information that is no longer meaningful for the concurrent GC and
doesn't include a lot of information that is important.
Replace this line with a new line designed for the new garbage
collector.
This new line is focused more on helping the user understand the
impact of the garbage collector on their program and less on telling
us, the runtime developers, everything that's happening inside
GC. It's designed to fit in 80 columns and intentionally omit some
potentially useful things that were in the old line. We might want a
"verbose" mode that adds information for us.
We'll be able to further simplify the line once we eliminate the STW
around enabling the write barrier. Then we'll have just one STW phase,
one concurrent phase, and one more STW phase, so we'll be able to
reduce the number of times from five to three.

Racy tests do not fail currently, they do os.Exit(0).
So if you run go test without -v, you won't even notice.
This was probably introduced with testing.TestMain.
Racy programs do not have the right to finish successfully.
