Ian Lance Taylor 4a14082645 compile, runtime: permit anonymous and empty fields in C header
Permit putting structs with anonymous and empty fields in the C header
    file runtime.inc that is used to build the C runtime code.  This is
    required for upcoming 1.13 support, as the m struct has picked up an
    anonymous field.
    
    Doing this lets the C header contain all the type descriptor structs,
    so start using those in the C code.  This cuts the number of copies of
    type descriptor definitions from 3 to 2.

Ian Lance Taylor 4e62f891cd runtime: expose the g variable
Currently, getg is implemented in C, which loads the thread-local
    g variable. The g variable is declared static in C.
    
    This CL exposes the g variable, so it can be accessed from the Go
    side. This allows the Go compiler to inline getg calls to direct
    access of g.
    
    Currently, the actual inlining is only implemented in the gollvm
    compiler. The g variable is thread-local and the compiler backend
    may choose to cache the TLS address in a register or on stack. If
    a thread switch happens the cache may become invalid. I don't
    know how to disable the TLS address cache in gccgo, therefore
    the inlining of getg is not implemented. In the future gccgo may
    gain this if we know how to do it safely.

Ian Lance Taylor 4d12cf3cc3 runtime: implement cheaper context switch on Linux/AMD64
Currently, goroutine switches are implemented with libc
    getcontext/setcontext functions, which saves/restores the machine
    register states and also the signal context. This does more than
    what we need, and performs an expensive syscall.
    
    This CL implements a simplified version of getcontext/setcontext,
    in assembly, that only saves/restores the necessary part, i.e.
    the callee-save registers, and the PC, SP. A simplified version
    of makecontext, written in C, is also added. Currently this is
    only implemented on Linux/AMD64.

Ian Lance Taylor 33a5d8ccb5 runtime: in doscanstackswitch, set gp->m before gogo
This is following CL 156038. doscanstackswitch uses the same
    mechanism of switching goroutines as getTraceback, and so has
    the same problem as described in issue golang/go#29448. This CL

Ian Lance Taylor 575eb8f58b runtime: in getTraceback, set gp->m before gogo
Currently, when collecting a traceback for another goroutine,
    getTraceback calls gogo(gp) switching to gp, which will resume in
    mcall, which will call gtraceback, which will set up gp->m. There
    is a gap between setting the current running g to gp and setting
    gp->m. If a profiling signal arrives in between, sigtramp will
    see a non-nil gp with a nil m, and will seg fault. Fix this by
    setting up gp->m first.
    
    Fixes golang/go#29448.

Ian Lance Taylor c43137e800 runtime: add precise stack scan support
This CL adds support of precise stack scan using stack maps to
    the runtime. The stack maps are generated by the compiler (if
    supported). Each safepoint is associated with a (real or dummy)
    landing pad, and its "type info" in the exception table is a
    pointer to the stack map. When a stack is scanned, the stack map
    is found by the stack unwinding code by inspecting the exception
    table (LSDA).
    
    For precise stack scan we need to unwind the stack. There are
    three cases:
    
    - If a goroutine is scanning its own stack, it can unwind the
      stack and scan the frames.
    
    - If a goroutine is scanning another, stopped, goroutine, it
      cannot directly unwind the target stack. We handle this by
      switching (runtime.gogo) to the target g, letting it unwind
      and scan the stack, and switch back.
    
    - If we are scanning a goroutine that is blocked in a syscall,
      we send a signal to the target goroutine's thread, and let the
      signal handler unwind and scan the stack. Extra care is needed
      as this races with enter/exit syscall.
    
    Currently this is only implemented on linux.

Ian Lance Taylor f0d89c7759 runtime: avoid write barriers with traceback info
Unlike the gc runtime, libgo stores traceback information in location
    structs, which contain strings.  Therefore, copying location structs
    around appears to require write barriers, although in fact write
    barriers are never important because the strings are never allocated
    in Go memory.  They come from libbacktrace.
    
    Some of the generated write barriers come at times when write barriers
    are not permitted.  For example, exitsyscall, marked
    nowritebarrierrec, calls exitsyscallfast which calls traceGoSysExit
    which calls traceEvent which calls traceStackID which calls
    trace.stackTab.put which copies location values into memory allocated
    by tab.newStack.  This write barrier can be invoked when there is no
    p, causing a crash.
    
    This change fixes the problem by ensuring that location values are
    copied around in the tracing code with no write barriers.
    
    This was found by fixing the compiler to fully implement
    //go:nowritebarrierrec; CL to follow.

Ian Lance Taylor 3b0ddadf74 runtime: change some stack fields to uintptr
Because of how gccgo implements cgo calls, the code in dropm may not
    have any write barriers.  As a step toward implementing that, change
    the gcstack, gcnextsegment, and gcnextsp fields of the g struct to
    uintptr, so that assignments to them do not require write barriers.
    The gcinitialsp field remains unsafe.Pointer, as on 32-bit systems
    that do not support split stack it points to a heap allocated space
    used for the goroutine stack.
    
    The test for this is runtime tests like TestCgoCallbackGC, which are
    not run today but will be run with a future gotools patch.

    libgo: use an import list for missing symbols
    
    libgo depends on symbols provided by Go programs at runtime. On AIX,
    this requires either to build libgo with -Wl,-berok linker option and
    the programs with -Wl,-brtl, or to provide a list of imported symbols
    when building libgo. The second options seems preferable, to avoid
    requiring an additional option for every Go program.
    
    There are also some symbols that are specific to GNU ld and do not
    exist when linking with AIX ld (__data_start, __edata, __etext and
    __bss_start).

    compiler, runtime: don't let slices point past end of memory block
    
    When Go code uses a slice expression like [:len(str)] or [:cap(slice)],
    it's natural for the resulting pointer to point just past the end of
    the memory block.  If the next memory block is not live, we now have a
    live pointer to a dead block, which will unnecessarily keep the block
    alive.  That wastes space, and with the new Go 1.8 GC (not yet
    committed) will trigger an error when using GODEBUG=gccheckmark=1.
    
    This changes the implementation of slice expressions to not move the
    pointer if the resulting string length or slice capacity is 0.  When
    the length/capacity is zero, the pointer is never used anyhow.

    compiler: add ptrdata computations and expressions
    
    For the upcoming Go 1.8 GC we need to compute the "ptrdata" of a type:
    the number of bytes in the type that can contain pointers.  For types
    that do not contain pointers this number is zero.  For many types it
    is a number larger than zero but smaller than the total size of the
    type.  The Go 1.8 GC uses this number to make loops looking for
    pointers run faster by not scanning the suffix of a value that can not
    contain a pointer.
    
    Unfortunately there are two subtly different definitions of ptrdata,
    and we need both.  The first is the simple one: the prefix that can
    contain pointers.  The second is the number of bytes described by the
    gcprog for the type.  Recall that we describe the exact position of
    pointers in a type using either a ptrmask or a gcprog.  The ptrmask is
    simpler, the gcprog uses less space.  We use the gcprog for large
    types, currently defined as types that are more than 2048 bytes.  When
    the Go 1.8 runtime expands a gcprog, it verifies that the gcprog
    describes exactly the same number of bytes as the ptrdata field in the
    type descriptor.  If the last pointer-containing portion of a type is
    an array, and if the elements of the array have a ptrdata that is less
    than the size of the element type, then the simple definition of the
    ptrdata will not include the final non-pointer-containing bytes of the
    last element of the array.  However, the gcprog will define the array
    using a repeat count, and will therefore include the full size of the
    last element of the array.  So for a type that needs a gcprog, the
    ptrdata field in the type descriptor must be the size of the data
    described by the gcprog, and that is not necessarily the same as the
    simple ptrdata.
    
    It might seem that we can always use the gcprog version of the ptrdata
    calculation, since that is what will appear in a type descriptor, but
    it turns out that for global variables we always use a ptrmask, not a
    gcprog, even if the global variable is large.  This is because gcprogs
    are handled by expanding them into a ptrmask at runtime, and for a
    global variable there is no natural place to put the ptrmask.  Simpler
    to always use the ptrmask.  That means that we need to describe the
    size of the ptrmask, and that means that we need an expression for the
    simple form of the ptrdata.
    
    This CL implements the ptrdata calculation.  This code is not actually
    used yet.  It will be used later when the Go 1.8 GC is committed.

    compiler: don't write struct with multiple sink fields to C header file
    
    When writing a struct to the C header file used by the C runtime code,
    a single sink field is fine: it will be called "_", which is valid C.
    There are structs with single sink fields that we want to write out,
    such as finblock.  As it happens, though, the Go 1.8 runtime has a
    struct with two sink fields, gcControllerState, which will produce a C
    definition with two fields named "_", which will fail.  Since we don't
    need to know that struct in C, rather than fix the general case, just
    punt if the struct has multiple sink fields.
    
    After the conversion to the Go 1.8 GC, we may be able to get rid of
    the C header file anyhow.  I'm not sure yet.

    runtime: disable allocations test on gccgo
    
    It turns out that testing.AllocsPerRun has not been producing correct
    results with the current gccgo memory allocator.  When we update to
    the Go 1.8 memory allocator, testing.AllocsPerRun will work again, and
    these tests will fail due to lack of escape analysis.

    runtime: change g's in systemstack
    
    The systemstack function in the gc toolchain changes to a different g.
    This is often used to get more stack space; the gofrontend uses a
    different stack growth mechanism that does not require changing g's,
    so we've been running with a version of systemstack that keeps the
    same g.  However, the garbage collector has various tests to verify
    that it is running on g0 rather than on a normal g.  For simplicity,
    change the gofrontend version of systemstack to change to a different
    g just as the gc toolchain does.
    
    This permits us to uncomment some sanity checks in notetsleep.
    Doing that requires us to fix up a couple of places where C code calls
    {start,stop}TheWorldWithSema while not on g0.
    
    Note that this does slow down some code in the runtime package unnecessarily.
    It may be useful to find some places where the runtime calls
    systemstack only to get more stack space and change it to use some
    other function.  That other function would act like systemstack in the
    gc toolchain but simply call the argument in the gofrontend.

    runtime: don't use pointers in g_ucontext_t or stackcontext
    
    The g_ucontext_t type holds registers saved for a goroutine.  We have
    to scan it for pointers, but since registers don't necessarily hold
    pointers we have to scan it conservatively.  That means that it should
    not have a pointer type, since the GC will always scan pointers.
    Instead it needs special treatment to be scanned conservatively.
    The current GC doesn't care when a pointer type holds a non-pointer,

    For the current GC this means we have to explicitly scan the

    runtime: copy garbage collector from Go 1.8 runtime
    
    This giant patch replaces the old Go 1.4 memory allocator and garbage
    collector with the new Go 1.8 code.  The memory allocator is fairly
    similar, though now written in Go rather than C.  The garbage
    collector is completely different.  It now uses ptrmask and gcprog
    information, which requires changes in the compiler and the reflect
    package as well as the runtime.  And, of course, the garbage collector
    now runs concurrently with program execution.
    
    In the gc toolchain the garbage collector is strict and precise at all
    levels.  In the gofrontend we do not have stack maps, so stacks, and
    register values, are collected conservatively.  That means that an
    old, no longer used, pointer on a stack or in a register can cause a
    memory object to live longer than it should.  That in turns means that
    we must disable some checks for invalid pointers in the garbage
    collection code.  Not only can we get an invalid pointer on the stack;
    the concurrent nature of the collector means that we can in effect
    resurrect a block that was already unmarked but that the collector had
    not yet gotten around to freeing, and that block can in turn point to
    other blocks that the collector had managed to already free.  So we
    must disable pointer checks in general.  In effect we are relying on
    the fact that the strict pointer checks in the gc toolchain ensure
    that the garbage collector is correct, and we just assume that it is
    correct for the gofrontend since we are using the same code.

    compiler: set "need_init_fn" when adding gc root
    
    Variables that back slice initializers in certain cases have to be
    added to the gc roots list, since they can be modified at runtime. The
    code that was doing this addition did not update the flag that tracks
    whether the package being compiled needs an initializer function,
    which resulted in the call in question being left out of the final
    generated code in certain cases. Fix is to change Gogo::add_gc_root()
    to update the "needs init" flag.

Ian Lance Taylor 421a8ed412 runtime: scan caller-saved registers for non-split-stack
While testing a patch on Solaris, which does not support split-stack, I
    ran across a bug in the handling of caller-saved registers for the
    garbage collector.  For non-split-stack systems, runtime_mcall is
    responsible for saving all caller-saved registers on the stack so that
    the GC stack scan will see them.  It does this by calling
    __builtin_unwind_init and setting the g's gcnextsp field to point to the
    current stack.  The garbage collector then scans the stack from gcnextsp
    to the top of stack.
    
    Unfortunately, the code was setting gcnextsp to point to runtime_mcall's
    argument, which meant that even though runtime_mcall was careful to
    store all caller-saved registers on the stack, the GC never saw them.
    This is, of course, only a problem if a value lives only in a
    caller-saved register, and not anywhere else on the stack or heap.  And
    it is only a problem if that caller-saved register manages to make it
    all the way down to runtime_mcall without being saved by any function on
    the way.  This is moderately unlikely but it turns out that the recent
    changes to keep values on the stack when compiling the runtime package
    caused it to happen for the local variable `s` in `notifyListWait` in
    runtime/sema.go.  That function calls goparkunlock which is simple
    enough to not require all registers, and itself calls runtime_mcall.  So
    it was possible for `s` to be released by the GC before the goroutine
    returned from goparkunlock, which eventually caused a dangling pointer
    to be passed to releaseSudog.
    
    This is not a problem on split-stack systems, which use
    __splitstack_get_context, which saves a stack pointer low enough on the
    stack to scan the registers saved by runtime_mcall.

Ian Lance Taylor 58f7dab40d runtime: copy mstats code from Go 1.7 runtime
This replaces mem.go and the C runtime_ReadMemStats function with the Go
    1.7 mstats.go.
    
    The GCStats code is commented out for now.  The corresponding gccgo code
    is in runtime/mgc0.c.
    
    The variables memstats and worldsema are shared between the Go code and
    the C code, but are not exported.  To make this work, add temporary
    accessor functions acquireWorldsema, releaseWorldsema, getMstats (the
    latter known as mstats in the C code).
    
    Check the preemptoff field of m when allocating and when considering
    whether to start a GC.  This works with the new stopTheWorld and
    startTheWorld functions in Go, which are essentially the Go 1.7
    versions.
    
    Change the compiler to stack allocate closures when compiling the
    runtime package.  Within the runtime packages closures do not escape.
    This is similar to what the gc compiler does, except that the gc
    compiler, when compiling the runtime package, gives an error if escape
    analysis shows that a closure does escape.  I added this here because
    the Go version of ReadMemStats calls systemstack with a closure, and
    having that allocate memory was causing some tests that measure memory
    allocations to fail.

Ian Lance Taylor 4a2bb7fcb0 compiler, runtime: replace hashmap code with Go 1.7 hashmap
This change removes the gccgo-specific hashmap code and replaces it with
    the hashmap code from the Go 1.7 runtime.  The Go 1.7 hashmap code is
    more efficient, does a better job on details like when to update a key,
    and provides some support against denial-of-service attacks.
    
    The compiler is changed to call the new hashmap functions instead of the
    old ones.
    
    The compiler now tracks which types are reflexive and which require
    updating when used as a map key, and records the information in map type
    descriptors.
    
    Map_index_expression is simplified.  The special case for a map index on
    the right hand side of a tuple expression has been unnecessary for some
    time, and is removed.  The support for specially marking a map index as
    an lvalue is removed, in favor of lowering an assignment to a map index
    into a function call.  The long-obsolete support for a map index of a
    pointer to a map is removed.
    
    The __go_new_map_big function (known to the compiler as
    Runtime::MAKEMAPBIG) is no longer needed, as the new runtime.makemap
    function takes an int64 hint argument.
    
    The old map descriptor type and supporting expression is removed.
    
    The compiler was still supporting the long-obsolete syntax `m[k] = 0,
    false` to delete a value from a map.  That is now removed, requiring a
    change to one of the gccgo-specific tests.
    
    The builtin len function applied to a map or channel p is now compiled
    as `p == nil ? 0 : *(*int)(p)`.  The __go_chan_len function (known to
    the compiler as Runtime::CHAN_LEN) is removed.
    
    Support for a shared zero value for maps to large value types is
    introduced, along the lines of the gc compiler.  The zero value is
    handled as a common variable.
    
    The hash function is changed to take a seed argument, changing the
    runtime hash functions and the compiler-generated hash functions.
    Unlike the gc compiler, both the hash and equal functions continue to
    take the type length.
    
    Types that can not be compared now store nil for the hash and equal
    functions, rather than pointing to functions that throw.  Interface hash
    and comparison functions now check explicitly for nil.  This matches the
    gc compiler and permits a simple implementation for ismapkey.
    
    The compiler is changed to permit marking struct and array types as
    incomparable, meaning that they have no hash or equal function.  We use
    this for thunk types, removing the existing special code to avoid
    generating hash/equal functions for them.
    
    The C runtime code adds memclr, memequal, and memmove functions.
    
    The hashmap code uses go:linkname comments to make the functions
    visible, as otherwise the compiler would discard them.
    
    The hashmap code comments out the unused reference to the address of the
    first parameter in the race code, as otherwise the compiler thinks that
    the parameter escapes and copies it onto the heap.  This is probably not
    needed when we enable escape analysis.
    
    Several runtime map tests that ere previously skipped for gccgo are now
    run.
    
    The Go runtime picks up type kind information and stubs.  The type kind
    information causes the generated runtime header file to define some
    constants, including `empty`, and the C code is adjusted accordingly.
    
    A Go-callable version of runtime.throw, that takes a Go string, is
    added to be called from the hashmap code.

    same files in the Go 1.7 release, and will be replaced by the Go 1.7
    file when we convert to the new memory allocator.
    
    The new file libgo/go/runtime/type.go describes the gccgo version of the
    reflection data structures, and replaces the Go 1.7 runtime file which
    describes the gc version of those structures.
    
    Using the new header file means changing a number of struct fields to
    use Go naming conventions (that is, no underscores) and to rename
    constants to have a leading underscore so that they are not exported
    from the Go package.  These names were updated in the C code.
    
    The C code was also changed to drop the thread-local variable m, as was
    done some time ago in the gc sources.  Now the m field is always
    accessed using g->m, where g is the single remaining thread-local
    variable.  This in turn required some adjustments to set g->m correctly
    in all cases.
    
    Also pass the new -fgo-compiling-runtime option when compiling the
    runtime package, although that option doesn't do anything yet.

Ian Lance Taylor 54c9c975f1 runtime: For c-archive/c-shared, install signal handlers synchronously.
This is a port of https://golang.org/cl/18150 to the gccgo runtime.
    
    The previous behaviour of installing the signal handlers in a separate
    thread meant that Go initialization raced with non-Go initialization if
    the non-Go initialization also wanted to install signal handlers.  Make
    installing signal handlers synchronous so that the process-wide behavior
    is predictable.
