f197988ca5 test: make maplinear iterdelete test less flaky
iterdelete's run time varies; occasionally we get unlucky. To reduce spurious failures, average away some of the variation.

On my machine, 8 of 5000 runs (0.15%) failed before this CL. After this CL, there were no failures after 35,000 runs.

I confirmed that this adjusted test still fails before CL 141270043.

e024ed5ca4 cmd/gc: don't walk static nodes generated by anylit.
During anylit run, nodes such as SLICEARR(statictmp, [:])
may be generated and are expected to be found unchanged by
gen_as_init.

In some walks (in particular walkselect), the statement
may be walked again and lowered to its usual form, leading to a
crash.

fcb4cabba4 cmd/gc: emit write barriers
A write *p = x that needs a write barrier (not all do)
now turns into runtime.writebarrierptr(p, x)
or one of the other variants.

The write barrier implementations are trivial.
The goal here is to emit the calls in the correct places
and to incur the cost of those function calls in the Go 1.4 cycle.

Performance on the Go 1 benchmark suite below.
Remember, the goal is to slow things down (and be correct).

We will look into optimizations in separate CLs, as part of
the process of comparing Go 1.3 against tip in order to make
sure Go 1.4 runs at least as fast as Go 1.3.

220a6de47e build: adjustments for move from src/pkg to src
This CL adjusts code referring to src/pkg to refer to src.

Immediately after submitting this CL, I will submit
a change doing 'hg mv src/pkg/* src'.
That change will be too large to review with Rietveld
but will contain only the 'hg mv'.

This CL will break the build.
The followup 'hg mv' will fix it.

For more about the move, see golang.org/s/go14nopkg.

b6951bcc0b runtime: increase stack split limit again
Increase NOSPLIT reservation from 192 to 384 bytes.
The problem is that the non-Unix systems (Solaris and Windows)
just can't make system calls in a small amount of space,
and then worse they do things that are complex enough
to warrant calling runtime.throw on failure.
We don't have time to rewrite the code to use less stack.

I'm not happy about this, but it's still a small amount.

The good news is that we're doing this to get to only
using copying stacks for stack growth. Once that is true,
we can drop the default stack size from 8k to 4k, which
should more than make up for the bytes we're losing here.

8473695797 runtime: fix panic/wrapper/recover math
The gp->panicwrap adjustment is just fatally flawed.
Now that there is a Panic.argp field, update that instead.
That can be done on entry only, so that unwinding doesn't
need to worry about undoing anything. The wrappers
emit a few more instructions in the prologue but everything
else in the system gets much simpler.

It also fixes (without trying) a broken test I never checked in.

397bdb216f runtime: increase nosplit area to 192
In CL 131450043, which raised it to 160,
I'd raise it to 192 if necessary.
Apparently it is necessary on windows/amd64.

One note for those concerned about the growth:
in the old segmented stack world, we wasted this much
space at the bottom of every stack segment.
In the new contiguous stack world, each goroutine has
only one stack segment, so we only waste this much space
once per goroutine. So even raising the limit further might
still be a net savings.

Fixes windows/amd64 build.

fe91006a02 runtime: give nosplit functions 32 more bytes of headroom
The Go calling convention uses more stack space than C.
On 64-bit systems we've been right up against the limit
(128 bytes, so only 16 words) and doing awful things to
our source code to work around it. Instead of continuing
to do awful things, raise the limit to 160 bytes.
I am prepared to raise the limit to 192 bytes if necessary,
but I think this will be enough.

Should fix current link-time stack overflow errors on

613383c765 cmd/gc, runtime: treat slices and strings like pointers in garbage collection
Before, a slice with cap=0 or a string with len=0 might have its
base pointer pointing beyond the actual slice/string data into
the next block. The collector had to ignore slices and strings with
cap=0 in order to avoid misinterpreting the base pointer.

Now, a slice with cap=0 or a string with len=0 still has a base
pointer pointing into the actual slice/string data, no matter what.
The collector can now always scan the pointer, which means
strings and slices are no longer special.

20e97677fd cmd/gc: fix order of channel evaluation of receive channels
Normally, an expression of the form x.f or *y can be reordered
with function calls and communications.

Select is stricter than normal: each channel expression is evaluated
in source order. If you have case <-x.f and case <-foo(), then if the
evaluation of x.f causes a panic, foo must not have been called.
(This is in contrast to an expression like x.f + foo().)

Enforce this stricter ordering.

1806a5732b cmd/gc, runtime: refactor interface inlining decision into compiler
We need to change the interface value representation for
concurrent garbage collection, so that there is no ambiguity
about whether the data word holds a pointer or scalar.

This CL does NOT make any representation changes.

Instead, it removes representation assumptions from
various pieces of code throughout the tree.
The isdirectiface function in cmd/gc/subr.c is now
the only place that decides that policy.
The policy propagates out from there in the reflect
metadata, as a new flag in the internal kind value.

A follow-up CL will change the representation by
changing the isdirectiface function. If that CL causes
problems, it will be easy to roll back.

Update #8405.

4aa50434e1 runtime: rewrite malloc in Go.
This change introduces gomallocgc, a Go clone of mallocgc.
Only a few uses have been moved over, so there are still
lots of uses from C. Many of these C uses will be moved

What should remain of C's mallocgc is an open question.

f20e4d5ecb cmd/gc: fix &result escaping into result
There is a hierarchy of location defined by loop depth:

        -1 = the heap
        0 = function results
        1 = local variables (and parameters)
        2 = local variable declared inside a loop
        3 = local variable declared inside a loop inside a loop
        etc

In general if an address from loopdepth n is assigned to
something in loop depth m < n, that indicates an extended
lifetime of some form that requires a heap allocation.

Function results can be local variables too, though, and so
they don't actually fit into the hierarchy very well.
Treat the address of a function result as level 1 so that
if it is written back into a result, the address is treated
as escaping.

Fixes #8185.

4534fdb144 runtime: fix panic stack during runtime.Goexit during panic
A runtime.Goexit during a panic-invoked deferred call
left the panic stack intact even though all the stack frames
are gone when the goroutine is torn down.
The next goroutine to reuse that struct will have a
bogus panic stack and can cause the traceback routines
to walk into garbage.

Most likely to happen during tests, because t.Fatal might
be called during a deferred func and uses runtime.Goexit.

This "not enough cleared in Goexit" failure mode has
happened to us multiple times now. Clear all the pointers
that don't make sense to keep, not just gp->panic.

ac0e12d158 cmd/6g: fix stack zeroing on native client
I am not sure what the rounding here was
trying to do, but it was skipping the first
pointer on native client.

The code above the rounding already checks
that xoffset is widthptr-aligned, so the rnd
was a no-op everywhere but on Native Client.
And on Native Client it was wrong.

Perhaps it was supposed to be rounding down,
not up, but zerorange handles the extra 32 bits
correctly, so the rnd does not seem to be necessary
at all.

This wouldn't be worth doing for Go 1.3 except
that it can affect code on the playground.

Fixes #8155.

fe3c913443 cmd/gc: fix escape analysis of func returning indirect of parameter
I introduced this bug when I changed the escape
analysis to run in phases based on call graph
dependency order, in order to be more precise about
inputs escaping back to outputs (functions returning
their arguments).

Given

        func f(z **int) *int { return *z }

we were tagging the function as 'z does not escape
and is not returned', which is all true, but not
enough information.

If used as:

        var x int
        p := &x
        q := &p
        leak(f(q))

then the compiler might try to keep x, p, and q all
on the stack, since (according to the recorded
information) nothing interesting ends up being
passed to leak.

In fact since f returns *q = p, &x is passed to leak
and x needs to be heap allocated.

To trigger the bug, you need a chain that the
compiler wants to keep on the stack (like x, p, q
above), and you need a function that returns an
indirect of its argument, and you need to pass the
head of the chain to that function. This doesn't
come up very often: this bug has been present since
June 2012 (between Go 1 and Go 1.1) and we haven't
seen it until now. It helps that most functions that
return indirects are getters that are simple enough
to be inlined, avoiding the bug.

Earlier versions of Go also had the benefit that if
&x really wasn't used beyond x's lifetime, nothing
broke if you put &x in a heap-allocated structure
accidentally. With the new stack copying, though,
heap-allocated structures containing &x are not
updated when the stack is copied and x moves,
leading to crashes in Go 1.3 that were not crashes
in Go 1.2 or Go 1.1.

The fix is in two parts.

First, in the analysis of a function, recognize when
a value obtained via indirect of a parameter ends up
being returned. Mark those parameters as having
content escape back to the return results (but we
don't bother to write down which result).

Second, when using the analysis to analyze, say,
f(q), mark parameters with content escaping as
having any indirections escape to the heap. (We
don't bother trying to match the content to the
return value.)

The fix could be less precise (simpler).
In the first part we might mark all content-escaping
parameters as plain escaping, and then the second
part could be dropped. Or we might assume that when
calling f(q) all the things pointed at by q escape
always (for any f and q).

The fix could also be more precise (more complex).
We might record the specific mapping from parameter
to result along with the number of indirects from the
parameter to the thing being returned as the result,
and then at the call sites we could set up exactly the
right graph for the called function. That would make
notleaks(f(q)) be able to keep x on the stack, because
the reuslt of f(q) isn't passed to anything that leaks it.

The less precise the fix, the more stack allocations
become heap allocations.

This fix is exactly as precise as it needs to be so that
none of the current stack allocations in the standard
library turn into heap allocations.

Fixes #8120.
