The g->sched.sp saved stack pointer and the
g->stackbase and g->stackguard stack bounds
can change even while "the world is stopped",
because a goroutine has to call functions (and
therefore might split its stack) when exiting a
system call to check whether the world is stopped
(and if so, wait until the world continues).
That means the garbage collector cannot access
those values safely (without a race) for goroutines
executing system calls. Instead, save a consistent
triple in g->gcsp, g->gcstack, g->gcguard during
entersyscall and have the garbage collector refer
to those.
The old code was occasionally seeing (because of
the race) an sp and stk that did not correspond to
each other, so that stk - sp was not the number of
stack bytes following sp. In that case, if sp < stk
then the call scanblock(sp, stk - sp) scanned too
many bytes (anything between the two pointers,
which pointed into different allocation blocks).
If sp > stk then stk - sp wrapped around.
On 32-bit, stk - sp is a uintptr (uint32) converted
to int64 in the call to scanblock, so a large (~4G)
but positive number. Scanblock would try to scan
that many bytes and eventually fault accessing
unmapped memory. On 64-bit, stk - sp is a uintptr (uint64)
promoted to int64 in the call to scanblock, so a negative
number. Scanblock would not scan anything, possibly
causing in-use blocks to be freed.
In short, 32-bit platforms would have seen either
ineffective garbage collection or crashes during garbage
collection, while 64-bit platforms would have seen
either ineffective or incorrect garbage collection.
You can see the invalid arguments to scanblock in the
stack traces in issue 1620.

I ran the new verification code against a large number of certificates
with a huge (>1000) number of intermediates.
I had previously convinced myself that a cycle in the certificate
graph implied a cycle in the hash graph (and thus, a contradiction).
This is bogus because the signatures don't cover each other.
Secondly, I managed to drive the verification into a time explosion
with a fully connected graph of certificates. The code would try to
walk the factorial number of paths.
This change switches the CertPool to dealing with indexes of
certificates rather than pointers: this makes equality easy. (I didn't
want to compare pointers because a reasonable gc could move objects
around over time.)
Secondly, verification now memorizes the chains from a given
certificate. This is dynamic programming for the lazy, but there's a
solid reason behind it: dynamic programming would ignore the Issuer
hints that we can exploit by walking up the chain rather than down.
