58b86e5013 liblink, cmd/gc, cmd/{5,6,8}{a,c}: rename linkwriteobj to writeobj
The name linkwriteobj is misleading because it implies that
the function has something to do with the linker, which it
does not.  The name is historical: the function performs an
operation that was previously performed by the linker, but no

0a8a719ded cmd/5g, cmd/6g, cmd/8g: preserve wide values in large functions
In large functions with many variables, the register optimizer
may give up and choose not to track certain variables at all.
In this case, the "nextinnode" information linking together
all the words from a given variable will be incomplete, and
the result may be that only some of a multiword value is
preserved across a call. That confuses the garbage collector,
so don't do that. Instead, mark those variables as having
their address taken, so that they will be preserved at all
calls. It's overkill, but correct.

Tested by hand using the 6g -S output to see that it does fix
the buggy generated code leading to the issue 7726 failure.

There is no automated test because I managed to break the
compiler while writing a test (see issue 7727). I will check
in a test along with the fix to issue 7727.

ade6bc68b0 runtime: crash when func main calls Goexit and all other goroutines exit
This has typically crashed in the past, although usually with
an 'all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!' message that shows
no goroutines (because there aren't any).

Previous discussion at:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/uCT_7WxxopQ/BoSBlLFzUTkJ
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-dev/KUojayEr20I/u4fp_Ej5PdUJ
http://golang.org/issue/7711

There is general agreement that runtime.Goexit terminates the
main goroutine, so that main cannot return, so the program does
not exit.

The interpretation that all other goroutines exiting causes an
exit(0) is relatively new and was not part of those discussions.
That is what this CL changes.

Thankfully, even though the exit(0) has been there for a while,
some other accounting bugs made it very difficult to trigger,
so it is reasonable to replace. In particular, see golang.org/issue/7711#c10
for an examination of the behavior across past releases.

Fixes #7711.

468cf82780 liblink: fix incorrect hash collision in lookup
linklookup uses hash(name, v) as the hash table index but then
only compares name to find a symbol to return.
If hash(name, v1) == hash(name, v2) for v1 != v2, the lookup
for v2 will return the symbol with v1.

The input routines assume that each symbol is found only once,
and then each symbol is added to a linked list, with the list header
in the symbol. Adding a symbol to such a list multiple times
short-circuits the list the second time it is added, causing symbols
to be dropped.

The liblink rewrite introduced an elegant, if inefficient, handling
of duplicated symbols by creating a dummy symbol to read the
duplicate into. The dummy symbols are named .dup with
sequential version numbers. With many .dup symbols, eventually
there will be a conflict, causing a duplicate list add, causing elided
symbols, causing a crash when calling one of the elided symbols.

The bug is old (2011) but could not have manifested until the
liblink rewrite introduced this heavily duplicated symbol .dup.
(See History section below.)

1. Correct the lookup function.

2. Since we want all the .dup symbols to be different, there's no
point in inserting them into the table. Call linknewsym directly,
avoiding the lookup function entirely.

3. Since nothing can refer to the .dup symbols, do not bother
adding them to the list of functions (textp) at all.

4. In lieu of a unit test, introduce additional consistency checks to
detect adding a symbol to a list multiple times. This would have
caught the short-circuit more directly, and it will detect a variety
of double-use bugs, including the one arising from the bad lookup.

Fixes #7749.

History

On April 9, 2011, I submitted CL 4383047, making ld 25% faster.
Much of the focus was on the hash table lookup function, and
one of the changes was to remove the s->version == v comparison [1].

I don't know if this was a simple editing error or if I reasoned that
same name but different v would yield a different hash slot and
so the name test alone sufficed. It is tempting to claim the former,
but it was probably the latter.

Because the hash is an iterated multiply+add, the version ends up
adding v*3ⁿ to the hash, where n is the length of the name.
A collision would need x*3ⁿ ≡ y*3ⁿ (mod 2²⁴ mod 100003),
or equivalently x*3ⁿ ≡ x*3ⁿ + (y-x)*3ⁿ (mod 2²⁴ mod 100003),
so collisions will actually be periodic: versions x and y collide
when d = y-x satisfies d*3ⁿ ≡ 0 (mod 2²⁴ mod 100003).
Since we allocate version numbers sequentially, this is actually
about the best case one could imagine: the collision rate is
much lower than if the hash were more random.
http://play.golang.org/p/TScD41c_hA computes the collision
period for various name lengths.

The most common symbol in the new linker is .dup, and for n=4
the period is maximized: the 100004th symbol is the first collision.
Unfortunately, there are programs with more duplicated symbols
than that.

In Go 1.2 and before, duplicate symbols were handled without
creating a dummy symbol, so this particular case for generating
many duplicate symbols could not happen. Go does not use
versioned symbols. Only C does; each input file gives a different
version to its static declarations. There just aren't enough C files
for this to come up in that context.

So the bug is old but the realization of the bug is new.

fcf8a77525 reflect: correct type descriptor for call of interface method
When preparing a call with an interface method, the argument
frame holds the receiver "iword", but funcLayout was being
asked to write a descriptor as if the receiver were a complete
interface value. This was originally caught by running a large
program with Debug=3 in runtime/mgc0.c, but the new panic
in funcLayout suffices to catch the mistake with the existing
tests.

dacc020c00 cmd/ld: record complete runtime-gdb.py path again
This code never got updated after the liblink shuffle.
Tested by hand that it works and respects GOROOT_FINAL.

The discussion in issue 6963 suggests that perhaps we should
just drop runtime-gdb.py entirely, but I am not convinced
that is true. It was in Go 1.2 and I don't see a reason not to
keep it in Go 1.3. The fact that binaries have not been emitting
the reference was just a missed detail in the liblink conversion,
not part of a grand plan.

e97b3ab1f9 build: remove tmp dir names from objects, support GOROOT_FINAL again
If we compile a generated file stored in a temporary
directory - let's say /tmp/12345/work/x.c - then by default
6c stores the full path and then the pcln table in the
final binary includes the full path. This makes repeated builds
(using different temporary directories) produce different
binaries, even if the inputs are the same.

In the old 'go tool pack', the P flag specified a prefix to remove
from all stored paths (if present), and cmd/go invoked
'go tool pack grcP $WORK' to remove references to the
temporary work directory.

We've changed the build to avoid pack as much as possible,
under the theory that instead of making pack convert from
.6 to .a, the tools should just write the .a directly and save a
round of I/O.

Instead of going back to invoking pack always, define a common
flag -trimpath in the assemblers, C compilers, and Go compilers,
implemented in liblink, and arrange for cmd/go to use the flag.
Then the object files being written out have the shortened paths
from the start.

While we are here, reimplement pcln support for GOROOT_FINAL.
A build in /tmp/go uses GOROOT=/tmp/go, but if GOROOT_FINAL=/usr/local/go
is set, then a source file named /tmp/go/x.go is recorded instead as
/usr/local/go/x.go. We use this so that we can prepare distributions
to be installed in /usr/local/go without actually working in that
directory. The conversion to liblink deleted all the old file name
handling code, including the GOROOT_FINAL translation.
Bring the GOROOT_FINAL translation back.

Before this CL, using GOROOT_FINAL=/goroot make.bash:

        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $TMPDIR
        6
        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $GOROOT
        793
        g%

After this CL:

        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $TMPDIR
        0
        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $GOROOT
        0
        g%

(The references to $TMPDIR tend to be cgo-generated source files.)

Adding the -trimpath flag to the assemblers required converting
them to the new Go-semantics flag parser. The text in go1.3.html
is copied and adjusted from go1.1.html, which is when we applied
that conversion to the compilers and linkers.

Fixes #6989.

90093f0634 liblink: introduce TLS register on 386 and amd64
When I did the original 386 ports on Linux and OS X, I chose to
define GS-relative expressions like 4(GS) as relative to the actual
thread-local storage base, which was usually GS but might not be
(it might be FS, or it might be a different constant offset from GS or FS).

The original scope was limited but since then the rewrites have
gotten out of control. Sometimes GS is rewritten, sometimes FS.
Some ports do other rewrites to enable shared libraries and
other linking. At no point in the code is it clear whether you are
looking at the real GS/FS or some synthesized thing that will be
rewritten. The code manipulating all these is duplicated in many
places.

The first step to fixing issue 7719 is to make the code intelligible
again.

This CL adds an explicit TLS pseudo-register to the 386 and amd64.
As a register, TLS refers to the thread-local storage base, and it
can only be loaded into another register:

        MOVQ TLS, AX

An offset from the thread-local storage base is written off(reg)(TLS*1).
Semantically it is off(reg), but the (TLS*1) annotation marks this as
indexing from the loaded TLS base. This emits a relocation so that
if the linker needs to adjust the offset, it can. For example:

        MOVQ TLS, AX
        MOVQ 8(AX)(TLS*1), CX // load m into CX

On systems that support direct access to the TLS memory, this
pair of instructions can be reduced to a direct TLS memory reference:

        MOVQ 8(TLS), CX // load m into CX

The 2-instruction and 1-instruction forms correspond roughly to
ELF TLS initial exec mode and ELF TLS local exec mode, respectively.

Liblink applies this rewrite on systems that support the 1-instruction form.
The decision is made using only the operating system (and probably
the -shared flag, eventually), not the link mode. If some link modes
on a particular operating system require the 2-instruction form,
then all builds for that operating system will use the 2-instruction
form, so that the link mode decision can be delayed to link time.

Obviously it is late to be making changes like this, but I despair
of correcting issue 7719 and issue 7164 without it. To make sure
I am not changing existing behavior, I built a "hello world" program
for every GOOS/GOARCH combination we have and then worked
to make sure that the rewrite generates exactly the same binaries,
byte for byte. There are a handful of TODOs in the code marking
kludges to get the byte-for-byte property, but at least now I can
explain exactly how each binary is handled.

The targets I tested this way are:

        darwin-386
        darwin-amd64
        dragonfly-386
        dragonfly-amd64
        freebsd-386
        freebsd-amd64
        freebsd-arm

        plan9-amd64
        solaris-amd64
        windows-386
        windows-amd64

There were four exceptions to the byte-for-byte goal:

windows-386 and windows-amd64 have a time stamp
at bytes 137 and 138 of the header.

darwin-386 and plan9-386 have five or six modified
bytes in the middle of the Go symbol table, caused by
editing comments in runtime/sys_{darwin,plan9}_386.s.

55e0f36fb4 runtime: fix program termination when main goroutine calls Goexit
Do not consider idle finalizer/bgsweep/timer goroutines as doing something useful.
We can't simply set isbackground for the whole lifetime of the goroutines,
because when finalizer goroutine calls user function, we do want to consider it
as doing something useful.
This is borken due to timers for quite some time.
With background sweep is become even more broken.
Fixes #7784.

http://build.golang.org/log/ec4c69e92076a747ac6d5df7eb7b382b31ab3d43

I think this is the first time I've actually seen a manifestation
of Issue 7264, and one that I can reproduce.

I don't know why it triggers on this test and not any others
just like it, or why I can't reproduce Issue 7264
independently, even when Dmitry gives me minimal repros.

Work around it for now with some synchronization to make the
race detector happy.

The proper fix will probably be in net/http/httptest itself, not
in all hundred some tests.

8fc6ed4c89 sync: less agressive local caching in Pool
Currently Pool can cache up to 15 elements per P, and these elements are not accesible to other Ps.
If a Pool caches large objects, say 2MB, and GOMAXPROCS is set to a large value, say 32,
then the Pool can waste up to 960MB.
The new caching policy caches at most 1 per-P element, the rest is shared between Ps.

Get/Put performance is unchanged. Nested Get/Put performance is 57% worse.
However, overall scalability of nested Get/Put is significantly improved,
so the new policy starts winning under contention.

This is the basic logic needed for objdump, and it works well enough
to support the pprof list and weblist commands. A real disassembler
needs to be added in order to support the pprof disasm command
and the per-line assembly displays in weblist. That's still to come.

Probably objdump will move to go.tools when the disassembler
is added, but it can stay here for now.

427a444f67 net/http: quiet useless warning during shutdown
What was happening on Issue 7010 was handler intentionally took 30
milliseconds and the proxy's client timeout was 35 milliseconds. Then it
slammed the proxy with a bunch of requests.

Sometimes the server would be too slow to respond in its 5 millisecond
window and the client code would cancel the request, force-closing the
persistConn.  If this came at the right time, the server's reply was
already in flight, and one of the goroutines would report:

Unsolicited response received on idle HTTP channel starting with "H"; err=<nil>

... rightfully scaring the user.

But the error was already handled and returned to the user, and this
connection knows it's been shut down. So look at the closed flag after
acquiring the same mutex guarding another field we were checking, and
don't complain if it's a known shutdown.

Also move closed down below the mutex which guards it.

Fixes #7010

6278a95492 net/http: don't reuse Transport connection unless Request.Write finished
In a typical HTTP request, the client writes the request, and
then the server replies. Go's HTTP client code (Transport) has
two goroutines per connection: one writing, and one reading. A
third goroutine (the one initiating the HTTP request)
coordinates with those two.

Because most HTTP requests are done when the server replies,
the Go code has always handled connection reuse purely in the
readLoop goroutine.

But if a client is writing a large request and the server
replies before it's consumed the entire request (e.g. it
replied with a 403 Forbidden and had no use for the body), it
was possible for Go to re-select that connection for a
subsequent request before we were done writing the first. That
wasn't actually a data race; the second HTTP request would
just get enqueued to write its request on the writeLoop. But
because the previous writeLoop didn't finish writing (and
might not ever), that connection is in a weird state. We
really just don't want to get into a state where we're
re-using a connection when the server spoke out of turn.

This CL changes the readLoop goroutine to verify that the
writeLoop finished before returning the connection.

In the process, it also fixes a potential goroutine leak where
a connection could close but the recycling logic could be
blocked forever waiting for the client to read to EOF or
error. Now it also selects on the persistConn's close channel,
and the closer of that is no longer the readLoop (which was
dead locking in some cases before). It's now closed at the
same place the underlying net.Conn is closed. This likely fixes
or helps Issue 7620.

Also addressed some small cosmetic things in the process.

Update #7620

5a51306170 runtime: fix semasleep on Plan 9
If you pass ns = 100,000 to this function, timediv will
return ms = 0. tsemacquire in /sys/src/9/port/sysproc.c
will return immediately when ms == 0 and the semaphore
cannot be acquired immediately - it doesn't sleep - so
notetsleep will spin, chewing cpu and repeatedly reading
the time, until the 100us have passed.

Thanks to the time reads it won't take too many iterations,
but whatever we are waiting for does not get a chance to
run. Eventually the notetsleep spin loop returns and we
end up in the stoptheworld spin loop - actually a sleep
loop but we're not doing a good job of sleeping.

After 100ms or so of this, the kernel says enough and
schedules a different thread. That thread manages to do
whatever we're waiting for, and the spinning in the other
thread stops. If tsemacquire had actually slept, this
would have happened much quicker.

Many thanks to Russ Cox for help debugging.

f400d9aafc cmd/6g: relax constraint on variables that need zeroing.
On amd64p32 pointers are 32-bit-aligned and cannot be assumed to
have an offset multiple of widthreg. Instead check that they are
withptr-aligned.

Also change the threshold for region merging to 2*widthreg
instead of 2*widthptr because performance on amd64 and amd64p32
is expected to be the same.

Fixes #7712.

51fba7d8f5 html/template: fix two unrelated bugs
1) The code to catch an exception marked the template as escaped

template to not escape properly.
2) ensurePipelineContains needs to handled Field as well as
Identifier nodes.

a07f6adda8 runtime: fix GOTRACEBACK on Plan 9
Getenv() should not call malloc when called from
gotraceback(). Instead, we return a static buffer
in this case, with enough room to hold the longest
value.

5556bfa9c7 runtime: cache gotraceback setting
On Plan 9 gotraceback calls getenv calls malloc, and we gotraceback
on every call to gentraceback, which happens during garbage collection.
Honestly I don't even know how this works on Plan 9.
I suspect it does not, and that we are getting by because
no one has tried to run with $GOTRACEBACK set at all.

This will speed up all the other systems by epsilon, since they
won't call getenv and atoi repeatedly.

f23d3ea85a crypto/(ec)dsa: use Fermat's inversion.
Now that we have a constant-time P-256 implementation, it's worth
paying more attention elsewhere.

The inversion of k in (EC)DSA was using Euclid's algorithm which isn't
constant-time. This change switches to Fermat's algorithm, which is
much better. However, it's important to note that math/big itself isn't
constant time and is using a 4-bit window for exponentiation with
variable memory access patterns.

(Since math/big depends quite deeply on its values being in minimal (as
opposed to fixed-length) represetation, perhaps crypto/elliptic should
grow a constant-time implementation of exponentiation in the scalar
field.)

72c5d5e756 reflect, runtime: fix crash in GC due to reflect.call + precise GC
Given
        type Outer struct {
                *Inner
                ...
        }
the compiler generates the implementation of (*Outer).M dispatching to
the embedded Inner. The implementation is logically:
        func (p *Outer) M() {
                (p.Inner).M()
        }
but since the only change here is the replacement of one pointer
receiver with another, the actual generated code overwrites the
original receiver with the p.Inner pointer and then jumps to the M
method expecting the *Inner receiver.

During reflect.Value.Call, we create an argument frame and the
associated data structures to describe it to the garbage collector,
populate the frame, call reflect.call to run a function call using
that frame, and then copy the results back out of the frame. The
reflect.call function does a memmove of the frame structure onto the
stack (to set up the inputs), runs the call, and the memmoves the
stack back to the frame structure (to preserve the outputs).

Originally reflect.call did not distinguish inputs from outputs: both
memmoves were for the full stack frame. However, in the case where the
called function was one of these wrappers, the rewritten receiver is
almost certainly a different type than the original receiver. This is
not a problem on the stack, where we use the program counter to
determine the type information and understand that during (*Outer).M
the receiver is an *Outer while during (*Inner).M the receiver in the
same memory word is now an *Inner. But in the statically typed
argument frame created by reflect, the receiver is always an *Outer.
Copying the modified receiver pointer off the stack into the frame
will store an *Inner there, and then if a garbage collection happens
to scan that argument frame before it is discarded, it will scan the
*Inner memory as if it were an *Outer. If the two have different
memory layouts, the collection will intepret the memory incorrectly.

Fix by only copying back the results.

Fixes #7725.

9e1cadad0f runtime/race: more precise handling of channel synchronization
It turns out there is a relatively common pattern that relies on
inverted channel semaphore:

gate := make(chan bool, N)
for ... {
        // limit concurrency
        gate <- true
        go func() {
                foo(...)
                <-gate
        }()
}
// join all goroutines
for i := 0; i < N; i++ {
        gate <- true
}

So handle synchronization on inverted semaphores with cap>1.
