Austin Clements f2d05389da runtime: perform write barriers on direct channel receive
Currently we have write barriers for direct channel sends, where the
receiver is blocked and the sender is writing directly to the
receiver's stack; but not for direct channel receives, where the
sender is blocked and the receiver is reading directly from the
sender's stack.

This was okay with the old write barrier because either 1) the
receiver would write the received pointer into the heap (causing it to
be shaded), 2) the pointer would still be on the receiver's stack at
mark termination and we would rescan it, or 3) the receiver dropped
the pointer so it wasn't necessarily reachable anyway.

This is not okay with the write barrier because it lets a grey stack
send a white pointer to a black stack and then remove it from its own
stack. If the grey stack was the sole grey-protector of this pointer,
this hides the object from the garbage collector.

Fix this by making direct receives perform a stack-to-stack write
barrier just like direct sends do.

Fixes #17694.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
