The move from 4kB to 8kB in Go 1.2 was to eliminate many stack split hot spots.
The move back to 4kB was predicated on copying stacks eliminating
the potential for hot spots.
Unfortunately, the fact that stacks do not copy 100% of the time means
that hot spots can still happen under the right conditions, and the slowdown
is worse now than it was in Go 1.2. There is a real program in issue 8030 that
sees about a 30x slowdown: it has a reflect call near the top of the stack
which inhibits any stack copying on that segment.
Go back to 8kB until stack copying can be used 100% of the time.

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.

CL 22730043 fixed a bug in these functions: they could
return 1.0 despite documentation saying otherwise.
But the fix changed the values returned in the non-buggy case too,
which might invalidate programs depending on a particular
stream when using rand.Seed(0) or when passing their own
Source to rand.New.
The example test says:
// These tests serve as an example but also make sure we don't change
// the output of the random number generator when given a fixed seed.
so I think there is some justification for thinking we have
promised not to change the values. In any case, there's no point in
changing the values gratuitously: we can easily fix this bug without
changing the values, and so we should.
That CL just changed the test values too, which defeats the
stated purpose, but it was just a comment.
Add an explicit regression test, which might be
a clearer signal next time that we don't want to change
the values.

These functions claimed to return error (an interface)
and be implemented entirely in assembly, but it's not
possible to create an interface from assembly
(at least not easily).
In reality the functions were written to return an errno uintptr
despite the Go prototype saying error.
When the errno was 0, they coincidentally filled out a nil error
by writing the 0 to the type word of the interface.
If the errno was ever non-zero, the functions would
create a non-nil error that would crash when trying to
call err.Error().
Luckily these functions (Seek, Time, Gettimeofday) pretty
much never fail, so it was all kind of working.

The introduction of temporaries in order.c was not
quite right for two corner cases:
1) The rewrite that pushed new variables on the lhs of
a receive into the body of the case was dropping the
declaration of the variables. If the variables escape,
the declaration is what allocates them.
Caught by escape analysis sanity check.
In fact the declarations should move into the body
always, so that we only allocate if the corresponding
case is selected. Do that. (This is an optimization that
was already present in Go 1.2. The new order code just
made it stop working.)

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).

If a map variable is created with reflect.New it has incorrect type (map[unsafe.Pointer]unsafe.Pointer).

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 you write:
var x = 3
then the compiler arranges for x to be initialized in the linker
with an actual 3 from the data segment, rather than putting
x in the bss and emitting init-time "x = 3" assignment code.
If you write:
var y = x
var x = 3
then the compiler is clever and treats this the same as if
the code said 'y = 3': they both end up in the data segment
with no init-time assignments.
If you write
var y = x
var x int
then the compiler was treating this the same as if the
code said 'x = 0', making both x and y zero and avoiding
any init-time assignment.
This copying optimization to avoid init-time assignment of y
is incorrect if 'var x int' doesn't mean 'x = 0' but instead means
'x is initialized in C or assembly code'. The program ends up
with 'y = 0' instead of 'y = the value specified for x in that other code'.
Disable the propagation if there is no initializer for x.

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.

TestDialFailPDLeak was created for testing runtime-integrated netwrok
poller stuff and used during Go 1.2 development cycle. Unfortunately
it's still flakey because it depends on MemStats of runtime, not
pollcache directly, and MemStats accounts and revises its own stats
occasionally.
For now the codepaths related to runtime-intergrated network poller
are pretty stable, so removing this test case never suffers us.

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.

This has typically crashed in the past, although usually with

no goroutines (because there aren't any).
Previous discussion at:

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

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.
