Russ Cox 6722d45631 cmd/gc: liveness-related bug fixes
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.
(Changes in gc/reflect.c.)

// The liveness code used to say that, in func g, s was live
// starting at its declaration, because it appears to have its
// address taken by the closure (different s, but the parser
// gets slightly confused, a separate bug). The liveness analysis
// saw s as having its address taken but the register optimizer
// did not. This mismatch meant that s would be marked live
// (and therefore initialized) at the call to f, but the register optimizer
// would optimize away the initialization of s before f, causing the
// garbage collector to use unused data.
// The register optimizer has been changed to respect the
// same "address taken" flag that the liveness analysis uses,
// even if it cannot see any address being taken in the actual
// machine code. This is conservative but keeps the two consistent,
// which is the most important thing.
