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.
