Included both by runtime (compiled via 6c) and linkers (compiled via gcc). The per-goroutine g->stackguard is set to point StackGuard bytes above the bottom of the stack. Each function compares its stack pointer against g->stackguard to check for overflow. To cut one instruction from the check sequence for functions with tiny frames, the stack is allowed to protrude StackSmall bytes below the stack guard. Functions with large frames don't bother with the check and always call morestack. The sequences are (for amd64, others are similar): guard = g->stackguard frame = function's stack frame size argsize = size of function arguments (call + return) stack frame size <= StackSmall: CMPQ guard, SP JHI 3(PC) MOVQ m->morearg, $(argsize << 32) CALL morestack(SB) stack frame size > StackSmall but < StackBig LEAQ (frame-StackSmall)(SP), R0 CMPQ guard, R0 JHI 3(PC) MOVQ m->morearg, $(argsize << 32) CALL morestack(SB) stack frame size >= StackBig: MOVQ m->morearg, $((argsize << 32) | frame) CALL morestack(SB) The bottom StackGuard - StackSmall bytes are important: there has to be enough room to execute functions that refuse to check for stack overflow, either because they need to be adjacent to the actual caller's frame (deferproc) or because they handle the imminent stack overflow (morestack). For example, deferproc might call malloc, which does one of the above checks (without allocating a full frame), which might trigger a call to morestack. This sequence needs to fit in the bottom section of the stack. On amd64, morestack's frame is 40 bytes, and deferproc's frame is 56 bytes. That fits well within the StackGuard - StackSmall bytes at the bottom. The linkers explore all possible call traces involving non-splitting functions to make sure that this limit cannot be violated. */ const ( // StackSystem is a number of additional bytes to add // to each stack below the usual guard area for OS-specific // purposes like signal handling.
