Currently the runtime fails to clear a G's stack barriers in gfput if
the G's stack allocation is _FixedStack bytes. This causes the runtime
to panic if the following sequence of events happens:
1) The runtime installs stack barriers on a G.
2) The G exits by calling runtime.Goexit. Since this does not
necessarily return through the stack barriers installed on the G,
there may still be untriggered stack barriers left on the G's stack
in recorded in g.stkbar.
3) The runtime calls gfput to add the exiting G to the free pool. If
the G's stack allocation is _FixedStack bytes, we fail to clear
g.stkbar.
4) A new G starts and allocates the G that was just added to the free
pool.
5) The new G begins to execute and overwrites the stack slots that had
stack barriers in them.
6) The garbage collector enters mark termination, attempts to remove
stack barriers from the new G, and finds that they've been
overwritten.
Fix this by clearing the stack barriers in gfput in the case where it
reuses the stack.

When heapBitsSetType repeats a source bitmap with a scalar tail
(typ.ptrdata < typ.size), it lays out the tail upon reaching the end
of the source bitmap by simply increasing the number of bits claimed
to be in the incoming bit buffer. This causes later iterations to read
the appropriate number of zeros out of the bit buffer before starting
on the next repeat of the source bitmap.
Currently, however, later iterations of the loop continue to read bits
from the source bitmap *regardless of the number of bits currently in
the bit buffer*. The bit buffer can only hold 32 or 64 bits, so if the
scalar tail is large and the padding bits exceed the size of the bit
buffer, the read from the source bitmap on the next iteration will
shift the incoming bits into oblivion when it attempts to put them in
the bit buffer. When the buffer does eventually shift down to where
these bits were supposed to be, it will contain zeros. As a result,
words that should be marked as pointers on later repetitions are
marked as scalars, so the garbage collector does not trace them. If
this is the only reference to an object, it will be incorrectly freed.
Fix this by adding logic to drain the bit buffer down if it is large
instead of reading more bits from the source bitmap.
Fixes#11286.

This includes the following information in the per-function summary:
outK = paramJ encoded in outK bits for paramJ
outK = *paramJ encoded in outK bits for paramJ
heap = paramJ EscHeap
heap = *paramJ EscContentEscapes
Note that (currently) if the address of a parameter is taken and
returned, necessarily a heap allocation occurred to contain that
reference, and the heap can never refer to stack, therefore the
parameter and everything downstream from it escapes to the heap.
The per-function summary information now has a tuneable number of bits
(2 is probably noticeably better than 1, 3 is likely overkill, but it
is now easy to check and the -m debugging output includes information
that allows you to figure out if more would be better.)
A new test was added to check pointer flow through struct-typed and
*struct-typed parameters and returns; some of these are sensitive to
the number of summary bits, and ought to yield better results with a
more competent escape analysis algorithm. Another new test checks
(some) correctness with array parameters, results, and operations.
The old analysis inferred a piece of plan9 runtime was non-escaping by
counteracting overconservative analysis with buggy analysis; with the
bug fixed, the result was too conservative (and it's not easy to fix
in this framework) so the source code was tweaked to get the desired
result. A test was added against the discovered bug.
The escape analysis was further improved splitting the "level" into
3 parts, one tracking the conventional "level" and the other two
computing the highest-level-suffix-from-copy, which is used to
generally model the cancelling effect of indirection applied to
address-of.
With the improved escape analysis enabled, it was necessary to
modify one of the runtime tests because it now attempts to allocate
too much on the (small, fixed-size) G0 (system) stack and this
failed the test.
Compiling src/std after touching src/runtime/*.go with -m logging

Currently we always create context objects for closures that capture variables.
However, it is completely unnecessary for direct calls of closures
(whether it is func()(), defer func()() or go func()()).
This change transforms any OCALLFUNC(OCLOSURE) to normal function call.
Closed variables become function arguments.
This transformation is especially beneficial for go func(),
because we do not need to allocate context object on heap.
But it makes direct closure calls a bit faster as well (see BenchmarkClosureCall).
On implementation level it required to introduce yet another compiler pass.
However, the pass iterates only over xtop, so it should not be an issue.
Transformation consists of two parts: closure transformation and call site
transformation. We can't run these parts on different sides of escape analysis,
because tree state is inconsistent. We can do both parts during typecheck,
we don't know how to capture variables and don't have call site.
We can't do both parts during walk of OCALLFUNC, because we can walk
OCLOSURE body earlier.
So now capturevars pass only decides how to capture variables
(this info is required for escape analysis). New transformclosure
pass, that runs just before order/walk, does all transformations
of a closure. And later walk of OCALLFUNC(OCLOSURE) transforms call site.

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,

The compiler has a phase ordering problem. Escape analysis runs
before wrapper generation. When a generated wrapper calls a method
defined in a different package, if that call is inlined, there will be
no escape information for the variables defined in the inlined call.
Those variables will be placed on the stack, which fails if they
actually do escape.
There are probably various complex ways to fix this. This is a simple
way to avoid it: when a generated wrapper calls a method defined in a
different package, treat all local variables as escaping.

I could only trigger a failure for the above case, the other two tests
^uint16(0xfffe) == 1 and -uint16(0xffff) == 1 didn't seem to fail
previously. Somehow they get MOVHUs inserted for other reasons (used
by CMP instead of TST?). I fixed OMINUS anyway, better safe than
sorry.

Gccgo creates a struct to hold the arguments for the deferred
function. In this example the struct holds a type defined in a
different package. The bug was that gccgo tried to create an equality
function for this struct, and it implemented that function by calling
the equality function for the type defined in the other package.
Since that type is not exported, the reference to the equality
function failed at link time. Normally it is impossible for a struct
to directly contain a member that is an unexported type from another
package, but in this specific case it was possible. Fixed in gccgo
with https://codereview.appspot.com/183500043 .

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).

Originally traceback was only used for printing the stack
when an unexpected signal came in. In that case, the
initial PC is taken from the signal and should be used
unaltered. For the callers, the PC is the return address,
which might be on the line after the call; we subtract 1
to get to the CALL instruction.
Traceback is now used for a variety of things, and for
almost all of those the initial PC is a return address,
whether from getcallerpc, or gp->sched.pc, or gp->syscallpc.
In those cases, we need to subtract 1 from this initial PC,
but the traceback code had a hard rule "never subtract 1
from the initial PC", left over from the signal handling days.
Change gentraceback to take a flag that specifies whether
we are tracing a trap.
Change traceback to default to "starting with a return PC",
which is the overwhelmingly common case.

collection or stack copying might look at them during a function call.
As such, it forces additional memory writes and therefore slows

Globals, function arguments, and results are special cases in
registerization.
Globals must be flushed aggressively, because nearly any
operation can cause a panic, and the recovery code must see
the latest values. Globals also must be loaded aggressively,
because nearly any store through a pointer might be updating a
global: the compiler cannot see all the "address of"
operations on globals, especially exported globals. To
accomplish this, mark all globals as having their address
taken, which effectively disables registerization.
If a function contains a defer statement, the function results
must be flushed aggressively, because nearly any operation can
cause a panic, and the deferred code may call recover, causing
the original function to return the current values of its
function results. To accomplish this, mark all function
results as having their address taken if the function contains
any defer statements. This causes not just aggressive flushing
but also aggressive loading. The aggressive loading is
overkill but the best we can do in the current code.
Function arguments must be considered live at all safe points
in a function, because garbage collection always preserves
them: they must be up-to-date in order to be preserved
correctly. Accomplish this by marking them live at all call
sites. An earlier attempt at this marked function arguments as
having their address taken, which disabled registerization
completely, making programs slower. This CL's solution allows
registerization while preserving safety. The benchmark speedup
is caused by being able to registerize again (the earlier CL
lost the same amount).

The inputs to a function are marked live at all times in the
liveness bitmaps, so that the garbage collector will not free
the things they point at and reuse the pointers, so that the
pointers shown in stack traces are guaranteed not to have
been recycled.
Unfortunately, no one told the register optimizer that the
inputs need to be preserved at all call sites. If a function
is done with a particular input value, the optimizer will stop
preserving it across calls. For single-word values this just
means that the value recorded might be stale. For multi-word
values like slices, the value recorded could be only partially stale:
it can happen that, say, the cap was updated but not the len,
or that the len was updated but not the base pointer.
Either of these possibilities (and others) would make the
garbage collector misinterpret memory, leading to memory
corruption.
This came up in a real program, in which the garbage collector's
'slice len ≤ slice cap' check caught the inconsistency.
Fixes#7944.

This is joint work with Daniel Morsing.
In order for the register allocator to alias two variables, they must have the same width, stack offset, and etype. Code generation was altering a variable's etype in a few places. This prevented the variable from being moved to a register, which in turn prevented peephole optimization. This failure to alias was very common, with almost 23,000 instances just running make.bash.
This phenomenon was not visible in the register allocation debug output because the variables that failed to alias had the same name. The debugging-only change to bits.c fixes this by printing the variable number with its name.
This CL fixes the source of all etype mismatches for 6g, all but one case for 8g, and depressingly few cases for 5g. (I believe that extending CL 6819083 to 5g is a prerequisite.) Fixing the remaining cases in 8g and 5g is work for the future.
The etype mismatch fixes are:
* [gc] Slicing changed the type of the base pointer into a uintptr in order to perform arithmetic on it. Instead, support addition directly on pointers.
* [*g] OSPTR was giving type uintptr to slice base pointers; undo that. This arose, for example, while compiling copy(dst, src).
* [8g] 64 bit float conversion was assigning int64 type during codegen, overwriting the existing uint64 type.
Note that some etype mismatches are appropriate, such as a struct with a single field or an array with a single element.
With these fixes, the number of registerizations that occur while running make.bash for 6g increases ~10%. Hello world binary size shrinks ~1.5%. Running all benchmarks in the standard library show performance improvements ranging from nominal to substantive (>10%); a full comparison using 6g on my laptop is available at https://gist.github.com/josharian/8f9b5beb46667c272064. The microbenchmarks must be taken with a grain of salt; see issue 7920. The few benchmarks that show real regressions are likely due to issue 7920. I manually examined the generated code for the top few regressions and none had any assembly output changes. The few benchmarks that show extraordinary improvements are likely also due to issue 7920.
Performance results from 8g appear similar to 6g.
5g shows no performance improvements. This is not surprising, given the discussion above.

The register allocator decides which variables should be placed into registers by charging for each load/store and crediting for each use, and then selecting an allocation with minimal cost. NOPs will be eliminated, however, so using a variable in a NOP should not generate credit.
Issue 7867 arises from attempted registerization of multi-word variables because they are used in NOPs. By not crediting for that use, they will no longer be considered for registerization.
This fix could theoretically lead to better register allocation, but NOPs are rare relative to other instructions.
Fixes#7867.

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.
