Changing from 4 kB to 8 kB brings significant improvement
on a variety of the Go 1 benchmarks, on both amd64
and 386 systems.
Significant runtime reductions:
amd64 386
GoParse -14% -1%
GobDecode -12% -20%
GobEncode -64% -1%
JSONDecode -9% -4%
JSONEncode -15% -5%
Template -17% -14%
In the longer term, khr's new stacks will avoid needing to
make this decision at all, but for Go 1.2 this is a reasonable
stopgap that makes performance significantly better.
Demand paging should mean that if the second 4 kB is not
used, it will not be brought into memory, so the change
should not adversely affect resident set size.
The same argument could justify bumping as high as 64 kB
on 64-bit machines, but there are diminishing returns
after 8 kB, and using 8 kB limits the possible unintended
memory overheads we are not aware of.

If a fault happens in malloc, inevitably the next thing that happens
is a deadlock trying to allocate the panic value that says the fault
happened. Stop doing that, two ways.
First, reject panic in malloc just as we reject panic in garbage collection.
Second, runtime.panicstring was using an error implementation
backed by a Go string, so the interface held an allocated *string.
Since the actual errors are C strings, define a new error
implementation backed by a C char*, which needs no indirection
and therefore no allocation.
This second fix will avoid allocation for errors like nil panic derefs
or division by zero, so it is worth doing even though the first fix
should take care of faults during malloc.

Bug #1:
Issue 5406 identified an interesting case:
defer iface.M()
may end up calling a wrapper that copies an indirect receiver
from the iface value and then calls the real M method. That's
two calls down, not just one, and so recover() == nil always
in the real M method, even during a panic.
[For the purposes of this entire discussion, a wrapper's
implementation is a function containing an ordinary call, not
the optimized tail call form that is somtimes possible. The
tail call does not create a second frame, so it is already
handled correctly.]
Fix this bug by introducing g->panicwrap, which counts the
number of bytes on current stack segment that are due to
wrapper calls that should not count against the recover
check. All wrapper functions must now adjust g->panicwrap up
on entry and back down on exit. This adds slightly to their
expense; on the x86 it is a single instruction at entry and
exit; on the ARM it is three. However, the alternative is to
make a call to recover depend on being able to walk the stack,
which I very much want to avoid. We have enough problems
walking the stack for garbage collection and profiling.
Also, if performance is critical in a specific case, it is already
faster to use a pointer receiver and avoid this kind of wrapper
entirely.
Bug #2:
The old code, which did not consider the possibility of two
calls, already contained a check to see if the call had split
its stack and so the panic-created segment was one behind the
current segment. In the wrapper case, both of the two calls
might split their stacks, so the panic-created segment can be
two behind the current segment.
Fix this by propagating the Stktop.panic flag forward during
stack splits instead of looking backward during recover.

the code that panicked appears to be calling those
functions directly, which is not the case and can be

When searching for an allocated bit, flushptrbuf would search
backward in the bitmap word containing the bit of pointer

finding an allocated bit for a pointer would directly look in

Using statistics generated from godoc, before this change span
lookups were, on average, more common than word lookups. It

lookups making the total number of span lookups a relatively

10499043
runtime,cmd/ld: Merge TLS symbols and teach 5l about ARM TLS
This CL prepares for external linking support to ARM.
The pseudo-symbols runtime.g and runtime.m are merged into a single
runtime.tlsgm symbol. When external linking, the offset of a thread local
variable is stored at a memory location instead of being embedded into a offset
of a ldr instruction. With a single runtime.tlsgm symbol for both g and m, only
one such offset is needed.
The larger part of this CL moves TLS code from gcc compiled to internally
compiled. The TLS code now uses the modern MRC instruction, and 5l is taught
about TLS fallbacks in case the instruction is not available or appropriate.
10271047
This CL adds support for -linkmode external to 5l.
For 5l itself, use addrel to allow for D_CALL relocations to be handled by the
host linker. Of the cases listed in rsc's comment in issue 4069, only case 5 and
63 needed an update. One of the TODO: addrel cases was since replaced, and the
rest of the cases are either covered by indirection through addpool (cases with
LTO or LFROM flags) or stubs (case 74). The addpool cases are covered because
addpool emits AWORD instructions, which in turn are handled by case 11.
In the runtime, change the argv argument in the rt0* functions slightly to be a
pointer to the argv list, instead of relying on a particular location of argv.
9733044
The -shared flag to 6l outputs a shared library, implemented in Go
and callable from non-Go programs such as C.
The main part of this CL change the thread local storage model.
Go uses the fastest and least general mode, local exec. TLS data in shared
libraries normally requires at least the local dynamic mode, however, this CL
instead opts for using the initial exec mode. Initial exec mode is faster than
local dynamic mode and can be used in linux since the linker has reserved a
limited amount of TLS space for performance sensitive TLS code.
Initial exec mode requires an extra load from the GOT table to determine the
TLS offset. This penalty will not be paid if ld is not in -shared mode, since
TLS accesses will be reduced to local exec.
The elf sections .init_array and .rela.init_array are added to register the Go
runtime entry with cgo at library load time.
The "hidden" attribute is added to Cgo functions called from Go, since Go
does not generate call through the GOT table, and adding non-GOT relocations for
a global function is not supported by gcc. Cgo symbols don't need to be global
and avoiding the GOT table is also faster.
The changes to 8l are only removes code relevant to the old -shared mode where
internal linking was used.
This CL only address the low level linker work. It can be submitted by itself,
but to be useful, the runtime changes in CL 9738047 is also needed.

Prior to this change, pointer maps encoded the disposition of
a word using a single bit. A zero signaled a non-pointer
value and a one signaled a pointer value. Interface values,
which are a effectively a union type, were conservatively
labeled as a pointer.
This change widens the logical element size of the pointer map
to two bits per word. As before, zero signals a non-pointer
value and one signals a pointer value. Additionally, a two
signals an iface pointer and a three signals an eface pointer.
Following other changes to the runtime, values two and three
will allow a type information to drive interpretation of the
subsequent word so only those interface values containing a
pointer value will be scanned.

The workarounds were making the scheduler more complex,

deliver reliable results.

Windows dynamic priority boosting assumes that a process has different types
of dedicated threads -- GUI, IO, computational, etc. Go processes use
equivalent threads that all do a mix of GUI, IO, computations, etc.

It's okay to preempt at ordinary function calls because
compilers arrange that there are no live registers to save
on entry to the function call.
The software floating point routines are function calls
masquerading as individual machine instructions. They are
expected to keep all the registers intact. In particular,
they are expected not to clobber all the floating point
registers.
The floating point registers are kept per-M, because they
are not live at non-preemptive goroutine scheduling events,
and so keeping them per-M reduces the number of 132-byte
register blocks we are keeping in memory.
Because they are per-M, allowing the goroutine to be
rescheduled during software floating point simulation
would mean some other goroutine could overwrite the registers
or perhaps the goroutine would continue running on a different
M entirely.
Disallow preemption during the software floating point
routines to make sure that a function full of floating point
instructions has the same floating point registers throughout
its execution.

a little more on amd64 and reclaim another word.
Now we're down to just one word consumed by
cgocallback_gofunc, having reclaimed 25% of the

Separately, fix windows/386 - the SEH must be on the
m0 stack, as must the saved SP, so we are forced to have
