The code for call site-specific pointer bitmaps was not ready in time,
but the zeroing required without it is too expensive to use by default.
We will have to wait for precise collection of stack frames until Go 1.3.
The precise collection can be re-enabled by
GOEXPERIMENT=precisestack ./all.bash
but that will not be the default for a Go 1.2 build.

Currently lots of sys allocations are not accounted in any of XxxSys,
including GC bitmap, spans table, GC roots blocks, GC finalizer blocks,
iface table, netpoll descriptors and more. Up to ~20% can unaccounted.
This change introduces 2 new stats: GCSys and OtherSys for GC metadata
and all other misc allocations, respectively.
Also ensures that all XxxSys indeed sum up to Sys. All sys memory allocation
functions require the stat for accounting, so that it's impossible to miss something.
Also fix updating of mcache_sys/inuse, they were not updated after deallocation.

When searching for an allocated bit, flushptrbuf would search
backward in the bitmap word containing the bit of pointer
being looked-up before searching the span. This extra check
was not replicated in markonly which, instead, after not
finding an allocated bit for a pointer would directly look in
the span.
Using statistics generated from godoc, before this change span
lookups were, on average, more common than word lookups. It
was common for markonly to consult spans for one third of its
pointer lookups. With this change in place, what were
previously span lookups are overwhelmingly become by the word
lookups making the total number of span lookups a relatively
small fraction of the whole.
This change also introduces some statistics gathering about
lookups guarded by the CollectStats enum.

Originally the requirement was f(x) where f's argument is
exactly x's type.
CL 11858043 relaxed the requirement in a non-standard
way: f's argument must be exactly x's type or interface{}.
If we're going to relax the requirement, it should be done
in a way consistent with the rest of Go. This CL allows f's
argument to have any type for which x is assignable;
that's the same requirement the compiler would impose
if compiling f(x) directly.

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.

Previously, all word aligned locations in the local variables
area were scanned as conservative roots. With this change, a
bitmap is generated describing the locations of pointer values
in local variables.
With this change the argument bitmap information has been
changed to only store information about arguments. The locals
member, has been removed. In its place, the bitmap data for
local variables is now used to store the size of locals. If
the size is negative, the magnitude indicates the size of the

Until now, the goroutine state has been scattered during the
execution of newstack and oldstack. It's all there, and those routines
know how to get back to a working goroutine, but other pieces of
the system, like stack traces, do not. If something does interrupt
the newstack or oldstack execution, the rest of the system can't
understand the goroutine. For example, if newstack decides there
is an overflow and calls throw, the stack tracer wouldn't dump the
goroutine correctly.
For newstack to save a useful state snapshot, it needs to be able
to rewind the PC in the function that triggered the split back to
the beginning of the function. (The PC is a few instructions in, just
after the call to morestack.) To make that possible, we change the
prologues to insert a jmp back to the beginning of the function
after the call to morestack. That is, the prologue used to be roughly:
TEXT myfunc
check for split
jmpcond nosplit
call morestack
nosplit:
sub $xxx, sp
Now an extra instruction is inserted after the call:
TEXT myfunc
start:
check for split
jmpcond nosplit
call morestack
jmp start
nosplit:
sub $xxx, sp
The jmp is not executed directly. It is decoded and simulated by
runtime.rewindmorestack to discover the beginning of the function,
and then the call to morestack returns directly to the start label
instead of to the jump instruction. So logically the jmp is still
executed, just not by the cpu.
The prologue thus repeats in the case of a function that needs a
stack split, but against the cost of the split itself, the extra few
instructions are noise. The repeated prologue has the nice effect of
making a stack split double-check that the new stack is big enough:
if morestack happens to return on a too-small stack, we'll now notice
before corruption happens.
The ability for newstack to rewind to the beginning of the function
should help preemption too. If newstack decides that it was called
for preemption instead of a stack split, it now has the goroutine state
correctly paused if rescheduling is needed, and when the goroutine
can run again, it can return to the start label on its original stack
and re-execute the split check.
Here is an example of a split stack overflow showing the full
trace, without any special cases in the stack printer.
(This one was triggered by making the split check incorrect.)

This will let us ask people to rebuild the Go system without
precise GC, and then rebuild and retest their program, to see
if precise GC is causing whatever problem they are having.

It's not trivial to make a comprehensive check
due to inferior pointers, reflect, gob, etc.
But this is essentially what I've used to debug
the GC issues.

Inserting a key-value pair into a hashmap storing keys or values
indirectly can cause the garbage collector to find the hashmap in
an inconsistent state.

broke arm garbage collector
traceback_arm fails with a missing pc. It needs CL 7494043.
But that only makes the build break later, this time with
"invalid freelist". Roll back until it can be fixed correctly.

The current code uses 64-bit pc-relative on 64-bit systems,
but in ELF linkers there is no such thing, so we cannot
express this in a .o file. Change to 32-bit.

Before, the mheap structure was in the bss,
but it's quite large (today, 256 MB, much of
which is never actually paged in), and it makes
Go binaries run afoul of exec-time bss size
limits on some BSD systems.
Fixes#4447.

Details:
- This CL is the conceptual skeleton of code found in CL 6114046
- The garbage collector uses struct Obj to specify memory blocks
- scanblock() is putting found memory blocks into an intermediate buffer
(xbuf) before adding/flushing them to the main work buffer (wbuf)
- The main loop in scanblock() is replaced with a skeleton code that
in the future will be able to recognize the type of objects and
thus will improve the garbage collector's precision.
For now, all objects are simply sequences of pointers so
the precision of the garbage collector remains unchanged.
- The code plugs .gcdata and .gcbss sections into the garbage collector.
scanblock() in this CL is unable to make any use of this.

Garbage collection code (to be merged later) is calling functions
which have many local variables. This increases the probability that
the stack capacity won't be big enough to hold the local variables.
So, start gc() on a bigger stack to eliminate a potentially large number
of calls to runtime·morestack().

Currently race detector runtime just disables race detection in the finalizer goroutine.
It has false positives when a finalizer writes to shared memory -- the race with finalizer is reported in a normal goroutine that accesses the same memory.
After this change I am going to synchronize the finalizer goroutine with the rest of the world in racefingo(). This is closer to what happens in reality and so
does not have false positives.
And also add README file with instructions how to build the runtime.

This CL makes the runtime understand that the type of
the len or cap of a map, slice, or string is 'int', not 'int32',
and it is also careful to distinguish between function arguments
and results of type 'int' vs type 'int32'.
In the runtime, the new typedefs 'intgo' and 'uintgo' refer
to Go int and uint. The C types int and uint continue to be
unavailable (cause intentional compile errors).
This CL does not change the meaning of int, but it should make
the eventual change of the meaning of int on amd64 a bit
smoother.
Update #2188.

The change is a preparation for the new scheduler.
It introduces runtime.park() function,
that will atomically unlock the mutex and park the goroutine.
It will allow to remove the racy readyonstop flag
that is difficult to implement w/o the global scheduler mutex.

The issue seems to not be triggered right now,
but I've seen the deadlock after some other legal
modifications to runtime.
So I think we are safer this way.
