Currently, shrinkstack will not shrink a stack on Windows if gp.m.libcallsp != 0. In general, we can't shrink stacks in syscalls because the syscall may hold pointers into the stack, and in principle this is supposed to be preventing that for libcall-based syscalls (which are direct syscalls from the runtime). But this test is actually broken and has been for a long time. That turns out to be okay because it also appears it's not necessary. This test is racy. g.m points to whatever M the G was last running on, even if the G is in a blocked state, and that M could be doing anything, including making libcalls. Hence, observing that libcallsp == 0 at one moment in shrinkstack is no guarantee that it won't become non-zero while we're shrinking the stack, and vice-versa. It's also weird that this check is only performed on Windows, given that we now use libcalls on macOS, Solaris, and AIX. This check was added when stack shrinking was first implemented in CL 69580044. The history of that CL (though not the final version) suggests this was necessary for libcalls that happened on Go user stacks, which we never do now because of the limited stack space. It could also be defending against user stack pointers passed to libcall system calls from blocked Gs. But the runtime isn't allowed to keep pointers into the user stack for blocked Gs on any OS, so it's not clear this would be of any value. Hence, this checks seems to be simply unnecessary. Rather than simply remove it, this CL makes it defensive. We can't do anything about blocked Gs, since it doesn't even make sense to look at their M, but if a G tries to shrink its own stack while in a libcall, that indicates a bug in the libcall code. This CL makes shrinkstack panic in this case. For #10958, #24543, since those are going to rearrange how we decide that it's safe to shrink a stack.
