24be0997a2 runtime: add a missing hex conversion
gobuf.g is a guintptr, so without hex(), it will be printed as
a decimal, which is not very helpful and inconsistent with how
other pointers are printed.

d57056ba26 runtime: don't free stack spans during GC
Memory for stacks is manually managed by the runtime and, currently
(with one exception) we free stack spans immediately when the last
stack on a span is freed. However, the garbage collector assumes that
spans can never transition from non-free to free during scan or mark.
This disagreement makes it possible for the garbage collector to mark
uninitialized objects and is blocking us from re-enabling the bad
pointer test in the garbage collector (issue #9880).

For example, the following sequence will result in marking an
uninitialized object:

1. scanobject loads a pointer slot out of the object it's scanning.
   This happens to be one of the special pointers from the heap into a
   stack. Call the pointer p and suppose it points into X's stack.

2. X, running on another thread, grows its stack and frees its old
   stack.

3. The old stack happens to be large or was the last stack in its
   span, so X frees this span, setting it to state _MSpanFree.

4. The span gets reused as a heap span.

5. scanobject calls heapBitsForObject, which loads the span containing
   p, which is now in state _MSpanInUse, but doesn't necessarily have
   an object at p. The not-object at p gets marked, and at this point
   all sorts of things can go wrong.

We already have a partial solution to this. When shrinking a stack, we
put the old stack on a queue to be freed at the end of garbage
collection. This was done to address exactly this problem, but wasn't
a complete solution.

This commit generalizes this solution to both shrinking and growing
stacks. For stacks that fit in the stack pool, we simply don't free
the span, even if its reference count reaches zero. It's fine to reuse
the span for other stacks, and this enables that. At the end of GC, we
sweep for cached stack spans with a zero reference count and free
them. For larger stacks, we simply queue the stack span to be freed at
the end of GC. Ideally, we would reuse these large stack spans the way
we can small stack spans, but that's a more invasive change that will
have to wait until after the freeze.

Fixes #11267.

3c60e6e8cf runtime: fix races in stack scan
This fixes a hang during runtime.TestTraceStress.
It also fixes double-scan of stacks, which leads to
stack barrier installation failures.

Both of these have shown up as flaky failures on the dashboard.

7387121ddb runtime: account for stack guard when shrinking the stack
Currently, when shrinkstack computes whether the halved stack
allocation will have enough room for the stack, it accounts for the
stack space that's actively in use but fails to leave extra room for
the stack guard space. As a result, *if* the minimum stack size is
small enough or the guard large enough, it may shrink the stack and
leave less than enough room to run nosplit functions. If the next
function called after the stack shrink is a nosplit function, it may
overflow the stack without noticing and overwrite non-stack memory.

We don't think this is happening under normal conditions right now.
The minimum stack allocation is 2K and the guard is 640 bytes. The
"worst case" stack shrink is from 4K (4048 bytes after stack barrier
array reservation) to 2K (2016 bytes after stack barrier array
reservation), which means the largest "used" size that will qualify
for shrinking is 4048/4 - 8 = 1004 bytes. After copying, that leaves
2016 - 1004 = 1012 bytes of available stack, which is significantly
more than the guard space.

If we were to reduce the minimum stack size to 1K or raise the guard
space above 1012 bytes, the logic in shrinkstack would no longer leave
enough space.

It's also possible to trigger this problem by setting
firstStackBarrierOffset to 0, which puts stack barriers in a debug
mode that steals away *half* of the stack for the stack barrier array
reservation. Then, the largest "used" size that qualifies for
shrinking is (4096/2)/4 - 8 = 504 bytes. After copying, that leaves
(2096/2) - 504 = 8 bytes of available stack; much less than the
required guard space. This causes failures like those in issue #11027
because func gc() shrinks its own stack and then immediately calls
casgstatus (a nosplit function), which overflows the stack and
overwrites a free list pointer in the neighboring span. However, since
this seems to require the special debug mode, we don't think it's
responsible for issue #11027.

To forestall all of these subtle issues, this commit modifies
shrinkstack to correctly account for the guard space when considering
whether to halve the stack allocation.

faa7a7e8ae runtime: implement GC stack barriers
This commit implements stack barriers to minimize the amount of
stack re-scanning that must be done during mark termination.

Currently the GC scans stacks of active goroutines twice during every
GC cycle: once at the beginning during root discovery and once at the
end during mark termination. The second scan happens while the world
is stopped and guarantees that we've seen all of the roots (since
there are no write barriers on writes to local stack
variables). However, this means pause time is proportional to stack
size. In particularly recursive programs, this can drive pause time up
past our 10ms goal (e.g., it takes about 150ms to scan a 50MB heap).

Re-scanning the entire stack is rarely necessary, especially for large
stacks, because usually most of the frames on the stack were not
active between the first and second scans and hence any changes to
these frames (via non-escaping pointers passed down the stack) were
tracked by write barriers.

To efficiently track how far a stack has been unwound since the first
scan (and, hence, how much needs to be re-scanned), this commit
introduces stack barriers. During the first scan, at exponentially
spaced points in each stack, the scan overwrites return PCs with the
PC of the stack barrier function. When "returned" to, the stack
barrier function records how far the stack has unwound and jumps to
the original return PC for that point in the stack. Then the second
scan only needs to proceed as far as the lowest barrier that hasn't
been hit.

For deeply recursive programs, this substantially reduces mark
termination time (and hence pause time). For the goscheme example
linked in issue #10898, prior to this change, mark termination times
were typically between 100 and 500ms; with this change, mark
termination times are typically between 10 and 20ms. As a result of
the reduced stack scanning work, this reduces overall execution time
of the goscheme example by 20%.

Fixes #10898.

The effect of this on programs that are not deeply recursive is
minimal:

724f8298a8 runtime: avoid double-scanning of stacks
Currently there's a race between stopg scanning another G's stack and
the G reaching a preemption point and scanning its own stack. When
this race occurs, the G's stack is scanned twice. Currently this is
okay, so this race is benign.

However, we will shortly be adding stack barriers during the first
stack scan, so scanning will no longer be idempotent. To prepare for
this, this change ensures that each stack is scanned only once during
each GC phase by checking the flag that indicates that the stack has
been scanned in this phase before scanning the stack.

3f6e69aca5 runtime: steal space for stack barrier tracking from stack
The stack barrier code will need a bookkeeping structure to keep track
of the overwritten return PCs. This commit introduces and allocates
this structure, but does not yet use the structure.

We don't want to allocate space for this structure during garbage
collection, so this commit allocates it along with the allocation of
the corresponding stack. However, we can't do a regular allocation in
newstack because mallocgc may itself grow the stack (which would lead
to a recursive allocation). Hence, this commit makes the bookkeeping
structure part of the stack allocation itself by stealing the
necessary space from the top of the stack allocation. Since the size
of this bookkeeping structure is logarithmic in the size of the stack,
this has minimal impact on stack behavior.

e610c25df0 runtime: decouple stack bounds and stack allocation size
Currently the runtime assumes that the allocation for the stack is
exactly [stack.lo, stack.hi). We're about to steal a small part of
this allocation for per-stack GC metadata. To prepare for this, this
commit adds a field to the G for the allocated size of the stack.
With this change, stack.lo and stack.hi continue to act as the true
bounds on the stack, but are no longer also used as the bounds on the
stack allocation.

(I also tried this the other way around, where stack.lo and stack.hi
remained the allocation bounds and I introduced a new top of stack.
However, there are far more places that assume stack.hi is the true
top of the stack than there are places that assume it's the top of the
allocation.)

a5c3bbe0b4 runtime: eliminate write barrier from adjustpointers
Currently adjustpointers invokes a write barrier for every stack slot
it updates. This is safe---the write barrier always does nothing
because the new value is never a heap pointer---but it's unnecessary
overhead in performance and complexity.

Fix this by rewriting adjustpointers to work with *uintptrs instead of
*unsafe.Pointers. As an added bonus, this makes the code cleaner.

0234dfd493 runtime: use 2-bit heap bitmap (in place of 4-bit)
Previous CLs changed the representation of the non-heap type bitmaps
to be 1-bit bitmaps (pointer or not). Before this CL, the heap bitmap
stored a 2-bit type for each word and a mark bit and checkmark bit
for the first word of the object. (There used to be additional per-word bits.)

Reduce heap bitmap to 2-bit, with 1 dedicated to pointer or not,
and the other used for mark, checkmark, and "keep scanning forward
to find pointers in this object." See comments for details.

This CL replaces heapBitsSetType with very slow but obviously correct code.
A followup CL will optimize it. (Spoiler: the new code is faster than Go 1.4 was.)

4d0f3a1c95 cmd/internal/gc, runtime: use 1-bit bitmap for stack frames, data, bss
The bitmaps were 2 bits per pointer because we needed to distinguish
scalar, pointer, multiword, and we used the leftover value to distinguish
uninitialized from scalar, even though the garbage collector (GC) didn't care.

Now that there are no multiword structures from the GC's point of view,
cut the bitmaps down to 1 bit per pointer, recording just live pointer vs not.

The GC assumes the same layout for stack frames and for the maps
describing the global data and bss sections, so change them all in one CL.

The code still refers to 4-bit heap bitmaps and 2-bit "type bitmaps", since
the 2-bit representation lives (at least for now) in some of the reflect data.

Because these stack frame bitmaps are stored directly in the rodata in
the binary, this CL reduces the size of the 6g binary by about 1.1%.

Performance change is basically a wash, but using less memory,
and smaller binaries, and enables other bitmap reductions.

181e26b9fa runtime: replace func-based write barrier skipping with type-based
This CL revises CL 7504 to use explicitly uintptr types for the
struct fields that are going to be updated sometimes without
write barriers. The result is that the fields are now updated *always*
without write barriers.

This approach has two important properties:

1) Now the GC never looks at the field, so if the missing reference
could cause a problem, it will do so all the time, not just when the
write barrier is missed at just the right moment.

2) Now a write barrier never happens for the field, avoiding the
(correct) detection of inconsistent write barriers when GODEBUG=wbshadow=1.

67a03fd6a2 runtime: use 2*regSize for saved frame pointer check
Previously, we checked for a saved frame pointer by looking for a
2*ptrSize gap between the argument pointer and the locals pointer.
The intent of this check was to look for a two stack slot gap (caller
IP and saved frame pointer), but stack slots are regSize, not ptrSize.

Correct this by checking instead for a 2*regSize gap.

On most platforms, this made no difference because ptrSize==regSize.
However, on amd64p32 (nacl), the saved frame pointer check incorrectly
fired when there was no saved frame pointer because the one stack slot
for the caller IP left an 8 byte gap, which is 2*ptrSize (but not
2*regSize) on amd64p32.

Fixes #9760.

3c0fee10db cmd/6g, liblink, runtime: support saving base pointers
This adds a "framepointer" GOEXPERIMENT that that makes the amd64
toolchain maintain base pointer chains in the same way that gcc
-fno-omit-frame-pointer does.  Go doesn't use these saved base
pointers, but this does enable external tools like Linux perf and
VTune to unwind Go stacks when collecting system-wide profiles.

This requires support in the compilers to not clobber BP, support in
liblink for generating the BP-saving function prologue and unwinding
epilogue, and support in the runtime to save BPs across preemption, to
skip saved BPs during stack unwinding and, and to adjust saved BPs
during stack moving.

As with other GOEXPERIMENTs, everything from the toolchain to the
runtime must be compiled with this experiment enabled.  To do this,
run make.bash (or all.bash) with GOEXPERIMENT=framepointer.

28b5118415 runtime: rename m.gcing to m.preemptoff and make it a string
m.gcing has become overloaded to mean "don't preempt this g" in
general.  Once the garbage collector is preemptible, the one thing it
*won't* mean is that we're in the garbage collector.

So, rename gcing to "preemptoff" and make it a string giving a reason
that preemption is disabled.  gcing was never set to anything but 0 or
1, so we don't have to worry about there being a stack of reasons.

3965d7508e runtime: factor out bitmap, finalizer code from malloc/mgc
The code in mfinal.go is moved from malloc*.go and mgc*.go
and substantially unchanged.

The code in mbitmap.go is also moved from those files, but
cleaned up so that it can be called from those files (in most cases
the code being moved was not already a standalone function).
I also renamed the constants and wrote comments describing
the format. The result is a significant cleanup and isolation of
the bitmap code, but, roughly speaking, it should be treated
and reviewed as new code.

The other files changed only as much as necessary to support
this code movement.

This CL does NOT change the semantics of the heap or type
bitmaps at all, although there are now some obvious opportunities
to do so in followup CLs.

f6d0054e71 runtime: avoid race checking for preemption
Moving the "don't really preempt" check up earlier in the function
introduced a race where gp.stackguard0 might change between
the early check and the later one. Since the later one is missing the
"don't really preempt" logic, it could decide to preempt incorrectly.
Pull the result of the check into a local variable and use an atomic
to access stackguard0, to eliminate the race.

I believe this will fix the broken OS X and Solaris builders.

aae0f074c0 runtime: fix a few GC-related bugs
1) Move non-preemption check even earlier in newstack.
This avoids a few priority inversion problems.

2) Always use atomic operations to update bitmap for 1-word objects.
This avoids lost mark bits during concurrent GC.

3) Stop using work.nproc == 1 as a signal for being single-threaded.
The concurrent GC runs with work.nproc == 1 but other procs are
running mutator code.

The use of work.nproc == 1 in getfull *is* safe, but remove it anyway,
since it is saving only a single atomic operation per GC round.

Fixes #9225.

dcec123a49 runtime: add GODEBUG wbshadow for finding missing write barriers
This is the detection code. It works well enough that I know of
a handful of missing write barriers. However, those are subtle
enough that I'll address them in separate followup CLs.

GODEBUG=wbshadow=1 checks for a write that bypassed the
write barrier at the next write barrier of the same word.
If a bug can be detected in this mode it is typically easy to
understand, since the crash says quite clearly what kind of
word has missed a write barrier.

GODEBUG=wbshadow=2 adds a check of the write barrier
shadow copy during garbage collection. Bugs detected at
garbage collection can be difficult to understand, because
there is no context for what the found word means.
Typically you have to reproduce the problem with allocfreetrace=1
in order to understand the type of the badly updated word.

Defers now use the stack pointer (instead of the argument pointer)

656be317d0 [dev.cc] runtime: delete scalararg, ptrarg; rename onM to systemstack
Scalararg and ptrarg are not "signal safe".
Go code filling them out can be interrupted by a signal,
and then the signal handler runs, and if it also ends up
in Go code that uses scalararg or ptrarg, now the old
values have been smashed.
For the pieces of code that do need to run in a signal handler,
we introduced onM_signalok, which is really just onM
except that the _signalok is meant to convey that the caller
asserts that scalarg and ptrarg will be restored to their old
values after the call (instead of the usual behavior, zeroing them).

Scalararg and ptrarg are also untyped and therefore error-prone.

Go code can always pass a closure instead of using scalararg
and ptrarg; they were only really necessary for C code.
And there's no more C code.

For all these reasons, delete scalararg and ptrarg, converting
the few remaining references to use closures.

Once those are gone, there is no need for a distinction between
onM and onM_signalok, so replace both with a single function
equivalent to the current onM_signalok (that is, it can be called
on any of the curg, g0, and gsignal stacks).

The name onM and the phrase 'm stack' are misnomers,
because on most system an M has two system stacks:
the main thread stack and the signal handling stack.

Correct the misnomer by naming the replacement function systemstack.

Fix a few references to "M stack" in code.

The main motivation for this change is to eliminate scalararg/ptrarg.
Rick and I have already seen them cause problems because
the calling sequence m.ptrarg[0] = p is a heap pointer assignment,
so it gets a write barrier. The write barrier also uses onM, so it has
all the same problems as if it were being invoked by a signal handler.
We worked around this by saving and restoring the old values
and by calling onM_signalok, but there's no point in keeping this nice
home for bugs around any longer.

This CL also changes funcline to return the file name as a result
instead of filling in a passed-in *string. (The *string signature is
left over from when the code was written in and called from C.)
That's arguably an unrelated change, except that once I had done
the ptrarg/scalararg/onM cleanup I started getting false positives
about the *string argument escaping (not allowed in package runtime).
The compiler is wrong, but the easiest fix is to write the code like
Go code instead of like C code. I am a bit worried that the compiler
is wrong because of some use of uninitialized memory in the escape
analysis. If that's the reason, it will go away when we convert the
compiler to Go. (And if not, we'll debug it the next time.)
