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.

The putpclcdelta function set the DWARF line number PC to
s->value + pcline->pc, which is correct, but the code then set
the local variable pc to epc, which can be a different value.

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.

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.

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.

The 1-byte write was silently clearing a byte on the stack.
If there was another function call with more arguments
in the same stack frame, no harm done.
Otherwise, if the variable at that location was already zero,
no harm done.
Otherwise, problems.

This is a workaround - the code should be better than this - but the
fix avoids generating large numbers of linehist entries for the wrapper
functions that enable interface conversions. There can be many of
them, they all happen at the end of compilation, and they can all
share a linehist entry.
Avoids bad n^2 behavior in liblink.
Test case in issue 8135 goes from 64 seconds to 2.5 seconds (still bad
but not intolerable).

We were requiring that the defer stack and the panic stack
be completely processed, thinking that if any were left over
the stack scan and the defer stack/panic stack must be out
