From the garbage collector's perspective, time can move backwards in
cgocall. However, in the midst of this time warp, the pointer
arguments to cgocall can go from dead back to live. If a stack growth
happens while they're dead and then a GC happens when they become live
again, GC can crash with a bad heap pointer.
Specifically, the sequence that leads to a panic is:
1. cgocall calls entersyscall, which saves the PC and SP of its call
site in cgocall. Call this PC/SP "X". At "X" both pointer arguments
are live.
2. cgocall calls asmcgocall. Call the PC/SP of this call "Y". At "Y"
neither pointer argument is live.
3. asmcgocall calls the C code, which eventually calls back into the
Go code.
4. cgocallbackg remembers the saved PC/SP "X" in some local variables,
calls exitsyscall, and then calls cgocallbackg1.
5. The Go code causes a stack growth. This stack unwind sees PC/SP "Y"
in the cgocall frame. Since the arguments are dead at "Y", they are
not adjusted.
6. The Go code returns to cgocallbackg1, which calls reentersyscall
with the recorded saved PC/SP "X", so "X" gets stashed back into
gp.syscallpc/sp.
7. GC scans the stack. It sees there's a saved syscall PC/SP, so it
starts the traceback at PC/SP "X". At "X" the arguments are considered
live, so it scans them, but since they weren't adjusted, the pointers
are bad, so it panics.
