The code generated for x = append(x, v) is roughly:
t := x
if len(t)+1 > cap(t) {
t = grow(t)
}
t[len(t)] = v
len(t)++
x = t
We used to generate this code as Go pseudocode during walk.
Generate it instead as actual instructions during gen.
Doing so lets us apply a few optimizations. The most important
is that when, as in the above example, the source slice and the
destination slice are the same, the code can instead do:
t := x
if len(t)+1 > cap(t) {
t = grow(t)
x = {base(t), len(t)+1, cap(t)}
} else {
len(x)++
}
t[len(t)] = v
That is, in the fast path that does not reallocate the array,
only the updated length needs to be written back to x,
not the array pointer and not the capacity. This is more like
what you'd write by hand in C. It's faster in general, since
the fast path elides two of the three stores, but it's especially
faster when the form of x is such that the base pointer write
would turn into a write barrier. No write, no barrier.

This includes the following information in the per-function summary:
outK = paramJ encoded in outK bits for paramJ
outK = *paramJ encoded in outK bits for paramJ
heap = paramJ EscHeap
heap = *paramJ EscContentEscapes
Note that (currently) if the address of a parameter is taken and
returned, necessarily a heap allocation occurred to contain that
reference, and the heap can never refer to stack, therefore the
parameter and everything downstream from it escapes to the heap.
The per-function summary information now has a tuneable number of bits
(2 is probably noticeably better than 1, 3 is likely overkill, but it
is now easy to check and the -m debugging output includes information
that allows you to figure out if more would be better.)
A new test was added to check pointer flow through struct-typed and
*struct-typed parameters and returns; some of these are sensitive to
the number of summary bits, and ought to yield better results with a
more competent escape analysis algorithm. Another new test checks
(some) correctness with array parameters, results, and operations.
The old analysis inferred a piece of plan9 runtime was non-escaping by
counteracting overconservative analysis with buggy analysis; with the
bug fixed, the result was too conservative (and it's not easy to fix
in this framework) so the source code was tweaked to get the desired
result. A test was added against the discovered bug.
The escape analysis was further improved splitting the "level" into
3 parts, one tracking the conventional "level" and the other two
computing the highest-level-suffix-from-copy, which is used to
generally model the cancelling effect of indirection applied to
address-of.
With the improved escape analysis enabled, it was necessary to
modify one of the runtime tests because it now attempts to allocate
too much on the (small, fixed-size) G0 (system) stack and this
failed the test.
Compiling src/std after touching src/runtime/*.go with -m logging

the importpath for the module being compiled being "". This was hard to notice,
because all modules that import another define the importpath for their
imported modules correctly -- but main is not imported, and this meant that the
reflect module saw all fields of all types defined in the main module as

The flag updates error annotations in test files from actual compiler output.
This is useful when doing compiler changes that add/remove/change lots of errors,

Also I noticed at least 2 cases where annotation were sub-optimal:
1. The annotation was "leaking param p" when the actual error is
"leaking param p to result ~r1".
2. The annotation was "leaking param m" when the actual errors
are "leaking param m" and "leaking param mv1".
For now it works only for errorcheck mode.
Also, apply the update to escape and liveness tests.
Some files have gccgo-specific errors of the form "gc error|gccgo error",

Inlining refuses to inline bodies containing an actual function call, so that
if that call or a child uses runtime.Caller it cannot observe
the inlining.
However, inlining was also refusing to inline bodies that contained
function calls that were themselves inlined away. For example:
func f() int {
return f1()
}
func f1() int {
return f2()
}
func f2() int {
return 2
}
The f2 call in f1 would be inlined, but the f1 call in f would not,
because f1's call to f2 blocked the inlining, despite itself eventually
being inlined away.
Account properly for this kind of transitive inlining and enable.
Also bump the inlining budget a bit, so that the runtime's
heapBits.next is inlined.
This reduces the time for '6g *.go' in html/template by around 12% (!).
(For what it's worth, closing Chrome reduces the time by about 17%.)

Currently we always create context objects for closures that capture variables.
However, it is completely unnecessary for direct calls of closures
(whether it is func()(), defer func()() or go func()()).
This change transforms any OCALLFUNC(OCLOSURE) to normal function call.
Closed variables become function arguments.
This transformation is especially beneficial for go func(),
because we do not need to allocate context object on heap.
But it makes direct closure calls a bit faster as well (see BenchmarkClosureCall).
On implementation level it required to introduce yet another compiler pass.
However, the pass iterates only over xtop, so it should not be an issue.
Transformation consists of two parts: closure transformation and call site
transformation. We can't run these parts on different sides of escape analysis,
because tree state is inconsistent. We can do both parts during typecheck,
we don't know how to capture variables and don't have call site.

Consider an interface value i of type I and concrete value c of type C.
Prior to this CL, i==c was evaluated as
I(c) == i
Evaluating I(c) can allocate.
This CL changes the evaluation of i==c to
x, ok := i.(C); ok && x == c
The new generated code is shorter and does not allocate directly.
If C is small, as it is in every instance in the stdlib,
the new code also uses less stack space
and makes one runtime call instead of two.
If C is very large, the original implementation is used.
The cutoff for "very large" is 1<<16,
following the stack vs heap cutoff used elsewhere.
This kind of comparison occurs in 38 places in the stdlib,
mostly in the net and os packages.

This adds a "framepointer" GOEXPERIMENT that that makes the amd64
toolchain maintain base pointer chains in the same way that gcc
-fno-omit-frame-pointer does. Go doesn't use these saved base
pointers, but this does enable external tools like Linux perf and
VTune to unwind Go stacks when collecting system-wide profiles.
This requires support in the compilers to not clobber BP, support in
liblink for generating the BP-saving function prologue and unwinding
epilogue, and support in the runtime to save BPs across preemption, to
skip saved BPs during stack unwinding and, and to adjust saved BPs
during stack moving.
As with other GOEXPERIMENTs, everything from the toolchain to the
runtime must be compiled with this experiment enabled. To do this,
run make.bash (or all.bash) with GOEXPERIMENT=framepointer.

Language specification says that variables are captured by reference.
And that is what gc compiler does. However, in lots of cases it is
possible to capture variables by value under the hood without
affecting visible behavior of programs. For example, consider
the following typical pattern:
func (o *Obj) requestMany(urls []string) []Result {
wg := new(sync.WaitGroup)
wg.Add(len(urls))
res := make([]Result, len(urls))
for i := range urls {
i := i
go func() {
res[i] = o.requestOne(urls[i])
wg.Done()
}()
}
wg.Wait()
return res
}
Currently o, wg, res, and i are captured by reference causing 3+len(urls)
allocations (e.g. PPARAM o is promoted to PPARAMREF and moved to heap).
But all of them can be captured by value without changing behavior.
This change implements simple strategy for capturing by value:
if a captured variable is not addrtaken and never assigned to,
then it is captured by value (it is effectively const).
This simple strategy turned out to be very effective:
~80% of all captures in std lib are turned into value captures.
The remaining 20% are mostly in defers and non-escaping closures,
that is, they do not cause allocations anyway.

Currently we always allocate string buffers in heap.
For example, in the following code we allocate a temp string
just for comparison:
if string(byteSlice) == "abc" { ... }
This change extends escape analysis to cover []byte->string
conversions and string concatenation. If the result of operations
does not escape, compiler allocates a small buffer
on stack and passes it to slicebytetostring and concatstrings.
Then runtime uses the buffer if the result fits into it.
Size of the buffer is 32 bytes. There is no fundamental theory
behind this number. Just an observation that on std lib
tests/benchmarks frequency of string allocation is inversely
proportional to string length; and there is significant number
of allocations up to length 32.

The compiler has a phase ordering problem. Escape analysis runs
before wrapper generation. When a generated wrapper calls a method
defined in a different package, if that call is inlined, there will be
no escape information for the variables defined in the inlined call.
Those variables will be placed on the stack, which fails if they
actually do escape.
There are probably various complex ways to fix this. This is a simple
way to avoid it: when a generated wrapper calls a method defined in a
different package, treat all local variables as escaping.

the equality function for the type defined in the other package.
Since that type is not exported, the reference to the equality
function failed at link time. Normally it is impossible for a struct
to directly contain a member that is an unexported type from another

When we start work on Gerrit, ppc64 and garbage collection
work will continue in the master branch, not the dev branches.
(We may still use dev branches for other things later, but
these are ready to be merged, and doing it now, before moving
to Git means we don't have to have dev branches working
in the Gerrit workflow on day one.)

The SudoG used to sit on the stack, so it was cheap to allocated
and didn't need to be cleaned up when finished.
For the conversion to Go, we had to move sudog off the stack
for a few reasons, so we added a cache of recently used sudogs
to keep allocation cheap. But we didn't add any of the necessary
cleanup before adding a SudoG to the new cache, and so the cached
SudoGs had stale pointers inside them that have caused all sorts
of awful, hard to debug problems.
CL 155760043 made sure SudoG.elem is cleaned up.
CL 150520043 made sure SudoG.selectdone is cleaned up.
This CL makes sure SudoG.next, SudoG.prev, and SudoG.waitlink
are cleaned up. I should have done this when I did the other two
fields; instead I wasted a week tracking down a leak they caused.
A dangling SudoG.waitlink can point into a sudogcache list that
has been "forgotten" in order to let the GC collect it, but that
dangling .waitlink keeps the list from being collected.
And then the list holding the SudoG with the dangling waitlink
can find itself in the same situation, and so on. We end up
with lists of lists of unusable SudoGs that are still linked into
the object graph and never collected (given the right mix of
non-trivial selects and non-channel synchronization).

One failing case this removes is:
var bytes = []byte("hello, world")
var copy_bytes = bytes
We could handle this in the compiler, but it requires special
case for a variable that is initialized to the value of a
variable that is initialized to a string literal converted to
[]byte. This seems an unlikely case--it never occurs in the
standrd library--and it seems unnecessary to write the code to
handle it.
If we do want to support this case, one approach is
https://golang.org/cl/171840043.
The other failing cases are of the form
var bx bool
var copy_bx = bx
The compiler used to initialize copy_bx to false. However,
that led to issue 7665, since bx may be initialized in non-Go
code. The compiler no longer assumes that bx must be false,
so copy_bx can not be statically initialized.
We can fix these with https://golang.org/cl/169040043
if we also pass -complete to the compiler as part of this
test. This is OK but it's too late in the release cycle.

All three cases of clearfat were wrong on power64x.
The cases that handle 1032 bytes and up and 32 bytes and up
both use MOVDU (one directly generated in a loop and the other
via duffzero), which leaves the pointer register pointing at
the *last written* address. The generated code was not
accounting for this, so the byte fill loop was re-zeroing the
last zeroed dword, rather than the bytes following the last
zeroed dword. Fix this by simply adding an additional 8 byte
offset to the byte zeroing loop.
The case that handled under 32 bytes was also wrong. It
didn't update the pointer register at all, so the byte zeroing
loop was simply re-zeroing the beginning of region. Again,
the fix is to add an offset to the byte zeroing loop to
account for this.

Originally traceback was only used for printing the stack
when an unexpected signal came in. In that case, the
initial PC is taken from the signal and should be used
unaltered. For the callers, the PC is the return address,
which might be on the line after the call; we subtract 1
to get to the CALL instruction.
Traceback is now used for a variety of things, and for
almost all of those the initial PC is a return address,
whether from getcallerpc, or gp->sched.pc, or gp->syscallpc.
In those cases, we need to subtract 1 from this initial PC,
but the traceback code had a hard rule "never subtract 1
from the initial PC", left over from the signal handling days.
Change gentraceback to take a flag that specifies whether
we are tracing a trap.
Change traceback to default to "starting with a return PC",
which is the overwhelmingly common case.
Add tracebacktrap, like traceback but starting with a trap PC.
Use tracebacktrap in signal handlers.

The test just doubled a certain number of times
and then gave up. On a mostly fast but occasionally
slow machine this may never make the test run
long enough to see the linear growth.
Change test to keep doubling until the first round
takes at least a full second, to reduce the effect of
occasional scheduling or other jitter.
The failure we saw had a time for the first round
of around 100ms.
Note that this test still passes once it sees a linear
effect, even with a very small total time.
The timeout here only applies to how long the execution
must be to support a reported failure.

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

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,

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.

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

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

The collector can now always scan the pointer, which means

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.

The 'continuation pc' is where the frame will continue
execution, if anywhere. For a frame that stopped execution
due to a CALL instruction, the continuation pc is immediately
after the CALL. But for a frame that stopped execution due to
a fault, the continuation pc is the pc after the most recent CALL
to deferproc in that frame, or else 0. That is where execution
will continue, if anywhere.
The liveness information is only recorded for CALL instructions.
This change makes sure that we never look for liveness information
except for CALL instructions.
Using a valid PC fixes crashes when a garbage collection or
stack copying tries to process a stack frame that has faulted.

This CL forces the optimizer to preserve some memory stores
that would be redundant except that a stack scan due to garbage
collection or stack copying might look at them during a function call.
As such, it forces additional memory writes and therefore slows
down the execution of some programs, especially garbage-heavy
programs that are already limited by memory bandwidth.
The slowdown can be as much as 7% for end-to-end benchmarks.

The float32 const conversion used to round to float64
and then use the hardware to round to float32.
Even though there was a range check before this
conversion, the double rounding introduced inaccuracy:
the round to float64 might round the value further away
from the float32 range, reaching a float64 value that
could not actually be rounded to float32. The hardware
appears to give us 0 in that case, but it is probably undefined.
Double rounding also meant that the wrong value might
be used for certain border cases.
Do the rounding the float32 ourselves, just as we already
did the rounding to float64. This makes the conversion
precise and also makes the conversion match the range check.
Finally, add some code to print very large (bigger than float64)
floating point constants in decimal floating point notation instead
of falling back to the precise but human-unreadable binary floating
point notation.

Globals, function arguments, and results are special cases in
registerization.
Globals must be flushed aggressively, because nearly any
operation can cause a panic, and the recovery code must see
the latest values. Globals also must be loaded aggressively,
because nearly any store through a pointer might be updating a
global: the compiler cannot see all the "address of"
operations on globals, especially exported globals. To
accomplish this, mark all globals as having their address
taken, which effectively disables registerization.
If a function contains a defer statement, the function results
must be flushed aggressively, because nearly any operation can
cause a panic, and the deferred code may call recover, causing
the original function to return the current values of its
function results. To accomplish this, mark all function
results as having their address taken if the function contains
any defer statements. This causes not just aggressive flushing
but also aggressive loading. The aggressive loading is
overkill but the best we can do in the current code.
Function arguments must be considered live at all safe points
in a function, because garbage collection always preserves
them: they must be up-to-date in order to be preserved
correctly. Accomplish this by marking them live at all call
sites. An earlier attempt at this marked function arguments as
having their address taken, which disabled registerization
completely, making programs slower. This CL's solution allows
registerization while preserving safety. The benchmark speedup
is caused by being able to registerize again (the earlier CL
lost the same amount).

The inputs to a function are marked live at all times in the
liveness bitmaps, so that the garbage collector will not free
the things they point at and reuse the pointers, so that the
pointers shown in stack traces are guaranteed not to have
been recycled.
Unfortunately, no one told the register optimizer that the
inputs need to be preserved at all call sites. If a function
is done with a particular input value, the optimizer will stop
preserving it across calls. For single-word values this just
means that the value recorded might be stale. For multi-word
values like slices, the value recorded could be only partially stale:
it can happen that, say, the cap was updated but not the len,
or that the len was updated but not the base pointer.
Either of these possibilities (and others) would make the
garbage collector misinterpret memory, leading to memory
corruption.
This came up in a real program, in which the garbage collector's
'slice len ≤ slice cap' check caught the inconsistency.

This is joint work with Daniel Morsing.
In order for the register allocator to alias two variables, they must have the same width, stack offset, and etype. Code generation was altering a variable's etype in a few places. This prevented the variable from being moved to a register, which in turn prevented peephole optimization. This failure to alias was very common, with almost 23,000 instances just running make.bash.
This phenomenon was not visible in the register allocation debug output because the variables that failed to alias had the same name. The debugging-only change to bits.c fixes this by printing the variable number with its name.
This CL fixes the source of all etype mismatches for 6g, all but one case for 8g, and depressingly few cases for 5g. (I believe that extending CL 6819083 to 5g is a prerequisite.) Fixing the remaining cases in 8g and 5g is work for the future.
The etype mismatch fixes are:
* [gc] Slicing changed the type of the base pointer into a uintptr in order to perform arithmetic on it. Instead, support addition directly on pointers.
* [*g] OSPTR was giving type uintptr to slice base pointers; undo that. This arose, for example, while compiling copy(dst, src).
* [8g] 64 bit float conversion was assigning int64 type during codegen, overwriting the existing uint64 type.
Note that some etype mismatches are appropriate, such as a struct with a single field or an array with a single element.
With these fixes, the number of registerizations that occur while running make.bash for 6g increases ~10%. Hello world binary size shrinks ~1.5%. Running all benchmarks in the standard library show performance improvements ranging from nominal to substantive (>10%); a full comparison using 6g on my laptop is available at https://gist.github.com/josharian/8f9b5beb46667c272064. The microbenchmarks must be taken with a grain of salt; see issue 7920. The few benchmarks that show real regressions are likely due to issue 7920. I manually examined the generated code for the top few regressions and none had any assembly output changes. The few benchmarks that show extraordinary improvements are likely also due to issue 7920.
Performance results from 8g appear similar to 6g.
5g shows no performance improvements. This is not surprising, given the discussion above.

If the ... element type contained no pointers,
then the escape analysis did not track the ... itself.
This manifested in an escaping ...byte being treated
as non-escaping.

The register allocator decides which variables should be placed into registers by charging for each load/store and crediting for each use, and then selecting an allocation with minimal cost. NOPs will be eliminated, however, so using a variable in a NOP should not generate credit.
Issue 7867 arises from attempted registerization of multi-word variables because they are used in NOPs. By not crediting for that use, they will no longer be considered for registerization.
This fix could theoretically lead to better register allocation, but NOPs are rare relative to other instructions.
Fixes#7867.

Trying to make GODEBUG=gcdead=1 work with liveness
and in particular ambiguously live variables.
1. In the liveness computation, mark all ambiguously live
variables as live for the entire function, except the entry.
They are zeroed directly after entry, and we need them not
to be poisoned thereafter.
2. In the liveness computation, compute liveness (and deadness)
for all parameters, not just pointer-containing parameters.
Otherwise gcdead poisons untracked scalar parameters and results.
3. Fix liveness debugging print for -live=2 to use correct bitmaps.
(Was not updated for compaction during compaction CL.)
4. Correct varkill during map literal initialization.
Was killing the map itself instead of the inserted value temp.
5. Disable aggressive varkill cleanup for call arguments if
the call appears in a defer or go statement.
6. In the garbage collector, avoid bug scanning empty
strings. An empty string is two zeros. The multiword
code only looked at the first zero and then interpreted
the next two bits in the bitmap as an ordinary word bitmap.
For a string the bits are 11 00, so if a live string was zero
length with a 0 base pointer, the poisoning code treated
the length as an ordinary word with code 00, meaning it
needed poisoning, turning the string into a poison-length
string with base pointer 0. By the same logic I believe that
a live nil slice (bits 11 01 00) will have its cap poisoned.
Always scan full multiword struct.
7. In the runtime, treat both poison words (PoisonGC and
PoisonStack) as invalid pointers that warrant crashes.
Manual testing as follows:
- Create a script called gcdead on your PATH containing:
#!/bin/bash
GODEBUG=gcdead=1 GOGC=10 GOTRACEBACK=2 exec "$@"
- Now you can build a test and then run 'gcdead ./foo.test'.
- More importantly, you can run 'go test -short -exec gcdead std'
to run all the tests.
Fixes#7676.
While here, enable the precise scanning of slices, since that was
disabled due to bugs like these. That now works, both with and
without gcdead.
Fixes#7549.

1. Use n->alloc, not n->left, to hold the allocated temp being
passed from orderstmt/orderexpr to walk.
2. Treat method values the same as closures.
3. Use killed temporary for composite literal passed to
non-escaping function argument.
4. Clean temporaries promptly in if and for statements.
5. Clean temporaries promptly in select statements.
As part of this, move all the temporary-generating logic
out of select.c into order.c, so that the temporaries can
be reclaimed.
With the new temporaries, can re-enable the 1-entry
select optimization. Fixes issue 7672.
While we're here, fix a 1-line bug in select processing
turned up by the new liveness test (but unrelated; select.c:72).
Fixes#7686.
6. Clean temporaries (but not particularly promptly) in switch
and range statements.
7. Clean temporary used during convT2E/convT2I.
8. Clean temporaries promptly during && and || expressions.

CL 81940043 reduced the number of ambiguously live temps
in the godoc binary from 860 to 711.
CL 83090046 reduced the number from 711 to 121.
This CL reduces the number from 121 to 23.
15 the 23 that remain are in fact ambiguously live.
The final 8 could be fixed but are not trivial and
not common enough to warrant work at this point
in the release cycle.
These numbers only count ambiguously live temps,
not ambiguously live user-declared variables.
There are 18 such variables in the godoc binary after this CL,
so a total of 41 ambiguously live temps or user-declared
variables.
The net effect is that zeroing anything on entry to a function
should now be a rare event, whereas earlier it was the
common case.
This is good enough for Go 1.3, and probably good
enough for future releases too.
Fixes#7345.

1. In functions with heap-allocated result variables or with
defer statements, the return sequence requires more than
just a single RET instruction. There is an optimization that
arranges for all returns to jump to a single copy of the return
epilogue in this case. Unfortunately, that optimization is
fundamentally incompatible with PC-based liveness information:
it takes PCs at many different points in the function and makes
them all land at one PC, making the combined liveness information
at that target PC a mess. Disable this optimization, so that each
return site gets its own copy of the 'call deferreturn' and the
copying of result variables back from the heap.
This removes quite a few spurious 'ambiguously live' variables.
2. Let orderexpr allocate temporaries that are passed by address
to a function call and then die on return, so that we can arrange
an appropriate VARKILL.
2a. Do this for ... slices.
2b. Do this for closure structs.
2c. Do this for runtime.concatstring, which is the implementation
of large string additions. Change representation of OADDSTR to
an explicit list in typecheck to avoid reconstructing list in both
walk and order.
3. Let orderexpr allocate the temporary variable copies used for
range loops, so that they can be killed when the loop is over.
Similarly, let it allocate the temporary holding the map iterator.
CL 81940043 reduced the number of ambiguously live temps
in the godoc binary from 860 to 711.
This CL reduces the number to 121. Still more to do, but another
good checkpoint.

The new channel and map runtime routines take pointers
to values, typically temporaries. Without help, the compiler
cannot tell when those temporaries stop being needed,
because it isn't sure what happened to the pointer.
Arrange to insert explicit VARKILL instructions for these
temporaries so that the liveness analysis can avoid seeing
them as "ambiguously live".
The change is made in order.c, which was already in charge of
introducing temporaries to preserve the order-of-evaluation
guarantees. Now its job has expanded to include introducing
temporaries as needed by runtime routines, and then also
inserting the VARKILL annotations for all these temporaries,
so that their lifetimes can be shortened.
In order to do its job for the map runtime routines, order.c arranges
that all map lookups or map assignments have the form:
x = m[k]
x, y = m[k]
m[k] = x
where x, y, and k are simple variables (often temporaries).
Likewise, receiving from a channel is now always:
x = <-c
In order to provide the map guarantee, order.c is responsible for
rewriting x op= y into x = x op y, so that m[k] += z becomes
t = m[k]
t2 = t + z
m[k] = t2
While here, fix a few bugs in order.c's traversal: it was failing to
walk into select and switch case bodies, so order of evaluation
guarantees were not preserved in those situations.
Added tests to test/reorder2.go.
Fixes#7671.
In gc/popt's temporary-merging optimization, allow merging
of temporaries with their address taken as long as the liveness
ranges do not intersect. (There is a good chance of that now
that we have VARKILL annotations to limit the liveness range.)
Explicitly killing temporaries cuts the number of ambiguously
live temporaries that must be zeroed in the godoc binary from
860 to 711, or -17%. There is more work to be done, but this
is a good checkpoint.
