Currently, runtime.Goexit() calls goexit()—the goroutine exit stub—to
terminate the goroutine. This *mostly* works, but can cause a
"leftover stack barriers" panic if the following happens:
1. Goroutine A has a reasonably large stack.
2. The garbage collector scan phase runs and installs stack barriers
in A's stack. The top-most stack barrier happens to fall at address X.
3. Goroutine A unwinds the stack far enough to be a candidate for
stack shrinking, but not past X.
4. Goroutine A calls runtime.Goexit(), which calls goexit(), which
calls goexit1().
5. The garbage collector enters mark termination.
6. Goroutine A is preempted right at the prologue of goexit1() and
performs a stack shrink, which calls gentraceback.
gentraceback stops as soon as it sees goexit on the stack, which is
only two frames up at this point, even though there may really be many
frames above it. More to the point, the stack barrier at X is above
the goexit frame, so gentraceback never sees that stack barrier. At
the end of gentraceback, it checks that it saw all of the stack
barriers and panics because it didn't see the one at X.
The fix is simple: call goexit1, which actually implements the process
of exiting a goroutine, rather than goexit, the exit stub.
To make sure this doesn't happen again in the future, we also add an
argument to the stub prototype of goexit so you really, really have to
want to call it in order to call it. We were able to reliably
reproduce the above sequence with a fair amount of awful code inserted
at the right places in the runtime, but chose to change the goexit
prototype to ensure this wouldn't happen again rather than pollute the
runtime with ugly testing code.

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.

This is the detection code. It works well enough that I know of
a handful of missing write barriers. However, those are subtle
enough that I'll address them in separate followup CLs.
GODEBUG=wbshadow=1 checks for a write that bypassed the
write barrier at the next write barrier of the same word.
If a bug can be detected in this mode it is typically easy to
understand, since the crash says quite clearly what kind of
word has missed a write barrier.
GODEBUG=wbshadow=2 adds a check of the write barrier
shadow copy during garbage collection. Bugs detected at
garbage collection can be difficult to understand, because
there is no context for what the found word means.
Typically you have to reproduce the problem with allocfreetrace=1

Scalararg and ptrarg are not "signal safe".
Go code filling them out can be interrupted by a signal,
and then the signal handler runs, and if it also ends up
in Go code that uses scalararg or ptrarg, now the old
values have been smashed.
For the pieces of code that do need to run in a signal handler,
we introduced onM_signalok, which is really just onM
except that the _signalok is meant to convey that the caller
asserts that scalarg and ptrarg will be restored to their old
values after the call (instead of the usual behavior, zeroing them).
Scalararg and ptrarg are also untyped and therefore error-prone.
Go code can always pass a closure instead of using scalararg
and ptrarg; they were only really necessary for C code.
And there's no more C code.
For all these reasons, delete scalararg and ptrarg, converting
the few remaining references to use closures.
Once those are gone, there is no need for a distinction between
onM and onM_signalok, so replace both with a single function
equivalent to the current onM_signalok (that is, it can be called
on any of the curg, g0, and gsignal stacks).
The name onM and the phrase 'm stack' are misnomers,
because on most system an M has two system stacks:
the main thread stack and the signal handling stack.
Correct the misnomer by naming the replacement function systemstack.
Fix a few references to "M stack" in code.
The main motivation for this change is to eliminate scalararg/ptrarg.
Rick and I have already seen them cause problems because
the calling sequence m.ptrarg[0] = p is a heap pointer assignment,
so it gets a write barrier. The write barrier also uses onM, so it has
all the same problems as if it were being invoked by a signal handler.
We worked around this by saving and restoring the old values
and by calling onM_signalok, but there's no point in keeping this nice
home for bugs around any longer.
This CL also changes funcline to return the file name as a result
instead of filling in a passed-in *string. (The *string signature is
left over from when the code was written in and called from C.)
That's arguably an unrelated change, except that once I had done
the ptrarg/scalararg/onM cleanup I started getting false positives
about the *string argument escaping (not allowed in package runtime).
The compiler is wrong, but the easiest fix is to write the code like
Go code instead of like C code. I am a bit worried that the compiler
is wrong because of some use of uninitialized memory in the escape
analysis. If that's the reason, it will go away when we convert the
compiler to Go. (And if not, we'll debug it the next time.)

In Go 1.3 the runtime called panicstring to report errors like
divide by zero or memory faults. Now we call panic (gopanic)
with pre-allocated error values. That new path is missing the
checking that panicstring did, so add it there.
The only call to panicstring left is in cnew, which is problematic
because if it fails, probably the heap is corrupt. In that case,
calling panicstring creates a new errorCString (no allocation there),
but then panic tries to print it, invoking errorCString.Error, which
does a string concatenation (allocating), which then dies.
Replace that one panicstring with a throw: cnew is for allocating
runtime data structures and should never ask for an inappropriate
amount of memory.
With panicstring gone, delete newErrorCString, errorCString.
While we're here, delete newErrorString, not called by anyone.
(It can't be: that would be C code calling Go code that might
block or grow the stack.)
Found while debugging a malloc corruption.
This resulted in 'panic during panic' instead of a more useful message.

This makes the GC and the stack copying agree about how
to interpret the defer structures. Previously, only the stack
copying treated them precisely.
This removes an untyped memory allocation and fixes
at least three copystack bugs.
To make sure the GC can find the deferred argument
frame until it has been copied, keep a Defer on the defer list
during its execution.
In addition to making it possible to remove the untyped
memory allocation, keeping the Defer on the list fixes
two races between copystack and execution of defers
(in both gopanic and Goexit). The problem is that once
the defer has been taken off the list, a stack copy that
happens before the deferred arguments have been copied
back to the stack will not update the arguments correctly.
The new tests TestDeferPtrsPanic and TestDeferPtrsGoexit
(variations on the existing TestDeferPtrs) pass now but
failed before this CL.
In addition to those fixes, keeping the Defer on the list
helps correct a dangling pointer error during copystack.
The traceback routines walk the Defer chain to provide
information about where a panic may resume execution.
When the executing Defer was not on the Defer chain
but instead linked from the Panic chain, the traceback
had to walk the Panic chain too. But Panic structs are
on the stack and being updated by copystack.
Traceback's use of the Panic chain while copystack is
updating those structs means that it can follow an
updated pointer and find itself reading from the new stack.
The new stack is usually all zeros, so it sees an incorrect
early end to the chain. The new TestPanicUseStack makes
this happen at tip and dies when adjustdefers finds an
unexpected argp. The new StackCopyPoison mode
causes an earlier bad dereference instead.
By keeping the Defer on the list, traceback can avoid
walking the Panic chain at all, making it okay for copystack
to update the Panics.
We'd have the same problem for any Defers on the stack.
There was only one: gopanic's dabort. Since we are not
taking the executing Defer off the chain, we can use it
to do what dabort was doing, and then there are no
Defers on the stack ever, so it is okay for traceback to use
the Defer chain even while copystack is executing:
copystack cannot modify the Defer chain.

This CL contains compiler+runtime changes that detect C code
running on Go (not g0, not gsignal) stacks, and it contains
corrections for what it detected.
The detection works by changing the C prologue to use a different
stack guard word in the G than Go prologue does. On the g0 and
gsignal stacks, that stack guard word is set to the usual
stack guard value. But on ordinary Go stacks, that stack
guard word is set to ^0, which will make any stack split
check fail. The C prologue then calls morestackc instead
of morestack, and morestackc aborts the program with
a message about running C code on a Go stack.
This check catches all C code running on the Go stack
except NOSPLIT code. The NOSPLIT code is allowed,
so the check is complete. Since it is a dynamic check,
the code must execute to be caught. But unlike the static
checks we've been using in cmd/ld, the dynamic check
works with function pointers and other indirect calls.
For example it caught sigpanic being pushed onto Go
stacks in the signal handlers.
