The g->sched.sp saved stack pointer and the
g->stackbase and g->stackguard stack bounds
can change even while "the world is stopped",
because a goroutine has to call functions (and
therefore might split its stack) when exiting a
system call to check whether the world is stopped
(and if so, wait until the world continues).
That means the garbage collector cannot access
those values safely (without a race) for goroutines
executing system calls. Instead, save a consistent
triple in g->gcsp, g->gcstack, g->gcguard during
entersyscall and have the garbage collector refer
to those.
The old code was occasionally seeing (because of
the race) an sp and stk that did not correspond to
each other, so that stk - sp was not the number of
stack bytes following sp. In that case, if sp < stk
then the call scanblock(sp, stk - sp) scanned too
many bytes (anything between the two pointers,
which pointed into different allocation blocks).
If sp > stk then stk - sp wrapped around.
On 32-bit, stk - sp is a uintptr (uint32) converted
to int64 in the call to scanblock, so a large (~4G)
but positive number. Scanblock would try to scan
that many bytes and eventually fault accessing
unmapped memory. On 64-bit, stk - sp is a uintptr (uint64)
promoted to int64 in the call to scanblock, so a negative
number. Scanblock would not scan anything, possibly
causing in-use blocks to be freed.
In short, 32-bit platforms would have seen either
ineffective garbage collection or crashes during garbage
collection, while 64-bit platforms would have seen
either ineffective or incorrect garbage collection.
You can see the invalid arguments to scanblock in the
stack traces in issue 1620.

* Reduces malloc counts during gob encoder/decoder test from 6/6 to 3/5.
The current reflect uses Set to mean two subtly different things.
(1) If you have a reflect.Value v, it might just represent
itself (as in v = reflect.NewValue(42)), in which case calling
v.Set only changed v, not any other data in the program.
(2) If you have a reflect Value v derived from a pointer
or a slice (as in x := []int{42}; v = reflect.NewValue(x).Index(0)),
v represents the value held there. Changing x[0] affects the
value returned by v.Int(), and calling v.Set affects x[0].
This was not really by design; it just happened that way.
The motivation for the new reflect implementation was
to remove mallocs. The use case (1) has an implicit malloc
inside it. If you can do:
v := reflect.NewValue(0)
v.Set(42)
i := v.Int() // i = 42
then that implies that v is referring to some underlying
chunk of memory in order to remember the 42; that is,
NewValue must have allocated some memory.
Almost all the time you are using reflect the goal is to
inspect or to change other data, not to manipulate data
stored solely inside a reflect.Value.
This CL removes use case (1), so that an assignable
reflect.Value must always refer to some other piece of data
in the program. Put another way, removing this case would
make
v := reflect.NewValue(0)
v.Set(42)
as illegal as
0 = 42.
It would also make this illegal:
x := 0
v := reflect.NewValue(x)
v.Set(42)
for the same reason. (Note that right now, v.Set(42) "succeeds"
but does not change the value of x.)
If you really wanted to make v refer to x, you'd start with &x
and dereference it:
x := 0
v := reflect.NewValue(&x).Elem() // v = *&x
v.Set(42)
It's pretty rare, except in tests, to want to use NewValue and then
call Set to change the Value itself instead of some other piece of
data in the program. I haven't seen it happen once yet while
making the tree build with this change.
For the same reasons, reflect.Zero (formerly reflect.MakeZero)
would also return an unassignable, unaddressable value.
This invalidates the (awkward) idiom:
pv := ... some Ptr Value we have ...
v := reflect.Zero(pv.Type().Elem())
pv.PointTo(v)
which, when the API changed, turned into:
pv := ... some Ptr Value we have ...
v := reflect.Zero(pv.Type().Elem())
pv.Set(v.Addr())
In both, it is far from clear what the code is trying to do. Now that
it is possible, this CL adds reflect.New(Type) Value that does the
obvious thing (same as Go's new), so this code would be replaced by:
pv := ... some Ptr Value we have ...
pv.Set(reflect.New(pv.Type().Elem()))
The changes just described can be confusing to think about,
but I believe it is because the old API was confusing - it was
conflating two different kinds of Values - and that the new API
by itself is pretty simple: you can only Set (or call Addr on)
a Value if it actually addresses some real piece of data; that is,
only if it is the result of dereferencing a Ptr or indexing a Slice.
If you really want the old behavior, you'd get it by translating:
v := reflect.NewValue(x)
into
v := reflect.New(reflect.Typeof(x)).Elem()
v.Set(reflect.NewValue(x))
Gofix will not be able to help with this, because whether
and how to change the code depends on whether the original
code meant use (1) or use (2), so the developer has to read
and think about the code.

The list elements are already being allocated out of a
single memory buffer. We can drop the Link* pointer
following and the memory it requires, replacing it with
index operations.
The change also keeps a channel from containing a pointer
back into its own allocation block, which would create a
cycle. Blocks involved in cycles are not guaranteed to be
finalized properly, and channels depend on finalizers to
free OS-level locks on some systems. The self-reference
was keeping channels from being garbage collected.
runtime-gdb.py will need to be updated in order to dump
the content of buffered channels with the new data structure.

On darwin amd64 it was impossible to create more that ~132 threads. While
investigating I noticed that go consumes almost 1TB of virtual memory per
OS thread and the reason for such a small limit of OS thread was because
process was running out of virtual memory. While looking at bsdthread_create
I noticed that on amd64 it wasn't using PTHREAD_START_CUSTOM.
If you look at http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/bsd/kern/pthread_synch.c?v=xnu-1228
you will see that in that case darwin will use stack pointer as stack size,
allocating huge amounts of memory for stack. This change fixes the issue
and allows for creation of up to 2560 OS threads (which appears to be some
Mac OS X limit) with relatively small virtual memory consumption.

Fixes#1641.
Actually it side steps the real issue, which is that the
setitimer(2) implementation on OS X is not useful for
profiling of multi-threaded programs. I filed the below
using the Apple Bug Reporter.
/*
Filed as Apple Bug Report #9177434.
This program creates a new pthread that loops, wasting cpu time.
In the main pthread, it sleeps on a condition that will never come true.
Before doing so it sets up an interval timer using ITIMER_PROF.
The handler prints a message saying which thread it is running on.
POSIX does not specify which thread should receive the signal, but
in order to be useful in a user-mode self-profiler like pprof or gprof
http://code.google.com/p/google-perftoolshttp://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/binutils/gprof_25.html
it is important that the thread that receives the signal is the one
whose execution caused the timer to expire.
Linux and FreeBSD handle this by sending the signal to the process's
queue but delivering it to the current thread if possible:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.38/kernel/signal.c#L802
807 /*
808 * Now find a thread we can wake up to take the signal off the queue.
809 *
810 * If the main thread wants the signal, it gets first crack.
811 * Probably the least surprising to the average bear.
812 * /
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/kern/kern_sig.c?v=FREEBSD8;im=bigexcerpts#L1907
1914 /*
1915 * Check if current thread can handle the signal without
1916 * switching context to another thread.
1917 * /
On those operating systems, this program prints:
$ ./a.out
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
signal on cpu-chewing looper thread
$
The OS X kernel does not have any such preference. Its get_signalthread
does not prefer current_thread(), in contrast to the other two systems,
so the signal gets delivered to the first thread in the list that is able to
handle it, which ends up being the main thread in this experiment.
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/bsd/kern/kern_sig.c?v=xnu-1456.1.26;im=excerpts#L1666

$
The fix is to make get_signalthread use the same heuristic as
Linux and FreeBSD, namely to use current_thread() if possible
before scanning the process thread list.

* Change use of m->g0 stack (aka scheduler stack).
* Provide runtime.mcall(f) to invoke f() on m->g0 stack.
* Replace scheduler loop entry with runtime.mcall(schedule).
Runtime.mcall eliminates the need for fake scheduler states that
exist just to run a bit of code on the m->g0 stack
(Grecovery, Gstackalloc).
The elimination of the scheduler as a loop that stops and
starts using gosave and gogo fixes a bad interaction with the
way cgo uses the m->g0 stack. Cgo runs external (gcc-compiled)
C functions on that stack, and then when calling back into Go,
it sets m->g0->sched.sp below the added call frames, so that
other uses of m->g0's stack will not interfere with those frames.
Unfortunately, gogo (longjmp) back to the scheduler loop at
this point would end up running scheduler with the lower
sp, which no longer points at a valid stack frame for
a call to scheduler. If scheduler then wrote any function call
arguments or local variables to where it expected the stack
frame to be, it would overwrite other data on the stack.
I realized this possibility while debugging a problem with
calling complex Go code in a Go -> C -> Go cgo callback.
This wasn't the bug I was looking for, it turns out, but I believe
it is a real bug nonetheless. Switching to runtime.mcall, which
only adds new frames to the stack and never jumps into
functions running in existing ones, fixes this bug.
* Move cgo-related code out of proc.c into cgocall.c.
* Add very large comment describing cgo call sequences.
* Simpilify, regularize cgo function implementations and names.
* Add test suite as misc/cgo/test.
Now the Go -> C path calls cgocall, which calls asmcgocall,
and the C -> Go path calls cgocallback, which calls cgocallbackg.
The shuffling, which affects mainly the callback case, moves
most of the callback implementation to cgocallback running
on the m->curg stack (not the m->g0 scheduler stack) and
only while accounted for with $GOMAXPROCS (between calls
to exitsyscall and entersyscall).
The previous callback code did not block in startcgocallback's
approximation to exitsyscall, so if, say, the garbage collector
were running, it would still barge in and start doing things
like call malloc. Similarly endcgocallback's approximation of
entersyscall did not call matchmg to kick off new OS threads
when necessary, which caused the bug in issue 1560.

In CL 4188061 I changed malg to allocate the requested
number of bytes n, not n+StackGuard, so that the
allocations would use rounder numbers.
The allocation of the signal stack asks for 32k and
then used g->stackguard as the base, but g->stackguard
is StackGuard bytes above the base. Previously, asking
for 32k meant getting 32k+StackGuard bytes, so using
g->stackguard as the base was safe. Now, the actual base
must be computed, so that the signal handler does not
run StackGuard bytes past the top of the stack.
Was causing flakiness mainly in programs that use the
network, because they sometimes write to closed network
connections, causing SIGPIPEs. Was also causing problems
in the doc/progs test.
