Currently, we dropg (which clears gp.m) after we CAS the g status
to _Grunnable or _Gwaiting. Immediately after CASing the g status,
another thread may CAS it to _Gscan status and scan its stack.
With precise stack scan, it accesses gp.m in order to switch to g
and back (in doscanstackswitch). This races with dropg. If
doscanstackswitch reads gp.m, then dropg runs, when we restore
the m at the end of the scan it will set to a stale value. Worse,
if dropg runs after doscanstackswitch sets the new m, gp will be
running with a nil m.
To fix this, we do dropg before CAS g status to _Grunnable or
_Gwaiting. We can do this safely if we are CASing from _Grunning,
as we own the g when it is in _Grunning. There is one case where
we CAS from _Gsyscall to _Grunnable. It is not safe to dropg when
it is in _Gsyscall, as precise stack scan needs to read gp.m in
order to signal the m. So we need to introduce a transient state,
_Gexitingsyscall, between _Gsyscall and _Grunnable, where the GC
should not scan its stack.
In is a little unfortunate that we have to add another g status.
We could reuse an existing one (e.g. _Gcopystack), but it is
clearer and safer to just use a new one, as Austin suggested.

README
See ../README. This is the runtime support library for the Go programming language. This library is intended for use with the Go frontend. This library should not be stripped when it is installed. Go code relies on being able to look up file/line information, which comes from the debugging info using the libbacktrace library. The library has only been tested on GNU/Linux using glibc, and on Solaris. It should not be difficult to port to other operating systems. Directories: go A copy of the Go library from http://golang.org/, with several changes for gccgo. runtime Runtime functions, written in C, which are called directly by the compiler or by the library.
