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.

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.

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.

OpenBSD is excluded from all the usual thread-local storage

I assume it just has no proper TLS support. Exclude it here too.
TBR=iant
CC=golang-codereviews
https://golang.org/cl/87900045
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

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.

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.

While here, enable the precise scanning of slices, since that was
disabled due to bugs like these. That now works, both with and

Reduce footprint of liveness bitmaps by about 5x.
1. Mark all liveness bitmap symbols as 4-byte aligned

2. The bitmap data is a bitmap count n followed by n bitmaps.
Each bitmap begins with its own count m giving the number
of bits. All the m's are the same for the n bitmaps.
Emit this bitmap length once instead of n times.
3. Many bitmaps within a function have the same bit values,
but each call site was given a distinct bitmap. Merge duplicate
bitmaps so that no bitmap is written more than once.
4. Many functions end up with the same aggregate bitmap data.
We used to name the bitmap data funcname.gcargs and funcname.gclocals.
Instead, name it gclocals.<md5 of data> and mark it dupok so
that the linker coalesces duplicate sets. This cut the bitmap
data remaining after step 3 by 40%; I was not expecting it to

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.

chanrecv now expects a pointer to the data to be filled in.
mapiterinit expects a pointer to the hash iterator to be filled in.
In both cases, the temporary being pointed at changes from
dead to alive during the call. In order to make sure it is
preserved if a garbage collection happens after that transition
but before the call returns, the temp must be marked as live
during the entire call.
But if it is live during the entire call, it needs to be safe for
the garbage collector to scan at the beginning of the call,
before the new data has been filled in. Therefore, it must be
zeroed by the caller, before the call. Do that.
My previous attempt waited to mark it live until after the
call returned, but that's unsafe (see first paragraph);
undo that change in plive.c.
This makes powser2 pass again reliably.
I looked at every call to temp in the compiler.
The vast majority are followed immediately by an
initialization of temp, so those are fine.
The only ones that needed changing were the ones
where the next operation is to pass the address of
the temp to a function call, and there aren't too many.
Maps are exempted from this because mapaccess
returns a pointer to the data and lets the caller make
the copy.
Fixes many builds.

1. On entry to a function, only zero the ambiguously live stack variables.
Before, we were zeroing all stack variables containing pointers.
The zeroing is pretty inefficient right now (issue 7624), but there are also
too many stack variables detected as ambiguously live (issue 7345),
and that must be addressed before deciding how to improve the zeroing code.
(Changes in 5g/ggen.c, 6g/ggen.c, 8g/ggen.c, gc/pgen.c)
Fixes#7647.
2. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis preserve the
whole-variable liveness property expected by the garbage collection
bitmap liveness analysis. That is, if the regopt liveness decides that
one word in a struct needs to be preserved, make sure it preserves
the entire struct. This is particularly important for multiword values
such as strings, slices, and interfaces, in which all the words need
to be present in order to understand the meaning.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c.)
Fixes#7591.
3. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis treat a variable
as having its address taken - which makes it preserved across
all future calls - whenever n->addrtaken is set, for consistency
with the gc bitmap liveness analysis, even if there is no machine
instruction actually taking the address. In this case n->addrtaken
is incorrect (a nicer way to put it is overconservative), and ideally
there would be no such cases, but they can happen and the two
analyses need to agree.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c; test in bug484.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
4. Remove spurious VARDEF annotations. As the comment in
gc/pgen.c explains, the VARDEF must immediately precede
the initialization. It cannot be too early, and it cannot be too late.
In particular, if a function call sits between the VARDEF and the
actual machine instructions doing the initialization, the variable
will be treated as live during that function call even though it is
uninitialized, leading to problems.
(Changes in gc/gen.c; test in live.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
5. Do not treat loading the address of a wide value as a signal
that the value must be initialized. Instead depend on the existence
of a VARDEF or the first actual read/write of a word in the value.
If the load is in order to pass the address to a function that does
the actual initialization, treating the load as an implicit VARDEF
causes the same problems as described in step 4.
The alternative is to arrange to zero every such value before
passing it to the real initialization function, but this is a much
easier and more efficient change.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
6. Treat wide input parameters with their address taken as
initialized on entry to the function. Otherwise they look
"ambiguously live" and we will try to emit code to zero them.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
7. An array of length 0 has no pointers, even if the element type does.
Without this change, the zeroing code complains when asked to
clear a 0-length array.

Zeroing the outputs makes sure that during function calls
in those functions we do not let the garbage collector
treat uninitialized values as pointers.
The garbage collector may still see uninitialized values
if a preemption occurs during the function prologue,
before the zeroing has had a chance to run.
This reduces the number of 'bad pointer' messages when
that runtime check is enabled, but it doesn't fix all of them,
so the check is still disabled.
It will also avoid leaks, although I doubt any of these were
particularly serious.

Fixes#7627.
CL 61970044 changed the order in which .a files are passed to gccgo's link phase. However by reversing the order it caused gccgo to complain if both internal (liba.a) and external (liba_test.a) versions of a package were presented as the former would not contain all the necessary symbols, and the latter would duplicate symbols already defined.
This change ensures that all 'fake' targets remain at the top of the final link order which should be fine as a package compiled as an external test is a superset of its internal sibling.
Looking at how gcToolchain links tests I think this change now accurately mirrors those actions which present $WORK/_test before $WORK in the link order.

Change two-bit stack map entries to encode:
0 = dead
1 = scalar
2 = pointer
3 = multiword
If multiword, the two-bit entry for the following word encodes:
0 = string
1 = slice
2 = iface
3 = eface
That way, during stack scanning we can check if a string
is zero length or a slice has zero capacity. We can avoid
following the contained pointer in those cases. It is safe
to do so because it can never be dereferenced, and it is
desirable to do so because it may cause false retention
of the following block in memory.
Slice feature turned off until issue 7564 is fixed.
