The current go:nowritebarrierrec checker has two problems that limit
its coverage:
1. It doesn't understand that systemstack calls its argument, which
means there are several cases where we fail to detect prohibited write
barriers.
2. It only observes calls in the AST, so calls constructed during
lowering by SSA aren't followed.
This CL completely rewrites this checker to address these issues.
The current checker runs entirely after walk and uses visitBottomUp,
which introduces several problems for checking across systemstack.
First, visitBottomUp itself doesn't understand systemstack calls, so
the callee may be ordered after the caller, causing the checker to
fail to propagate constraints. Second, many systemstack calls are
passed a closure, which is quite difficult to resolve back to the
function definition after transformclosure and walk have run. Third,
visitBottomUp works exclusively on the AST, so it can't observe calls
created by SSA.
To address these problems, this commit splits the check into two
phases and rewrites it to use a call graph generated during SSA
lowering. The first phase runs before transformclosure/walk and simply
records systemstack arguments when they're easy to get. Then, it
modifies genssa to record static call edges at the point where we're
lowering to Progs (which is the latest point at which position
information is conveniently available). Finally, the second phase runs
after all functions have been lowered and uses a direct BFS walk of
the call graph (combining systemstack calls with static calls) to find
prohibited write barriers and construct nice error messages.
Fixes#22384.
For #22460.

Debuggers use DWARF information to find local variables on the
stack and in registers. Prior to this CL, the DWARF information for
functions claimed that all variables were on the stack at all times.
That's incorrect when optimizations are enabled, and results in
debuggers showing data that is out of date or complete gibberish.
After this CL, the compiler is capable of representing variable
locations more accurately, and attempts to do so. Due to limitations of
the SSA backend, it's not possible to be completely correct.
There are a number of problems in the current design. One of the easier
to understand is that variable names currently must be attached to an
SSA value, but not all assignments in the source code actually result
in machine code. For example:
type myint int
var a int
b := myint(int)
and
b := (*uint64)(unsafe.Pointer(a))
don't generate machine code because the underlying representation is the
same, so the correct value of b will not be set when the user would
expect.
Generating the more precise debug information is behind a flag,
dwarflocationlists. Because of the issues described above, setting the
flag may not make the debugging experience much better, and may actually
make it worse in cases where the variable actually is on the stack and
the more complicated analysis doesn't realize it.
A number of changes are included:
- Add a new pseudo-instruction, RegKill, which indicates that the value
in the register has been clobbered.
- Adjust regalloc to emit RegKills in the right places. Significantly,
this means that phis are mixed with StoreReg and RegKills after
regalloc.
- Track variable decomposition in ssa.LocalSlots.
- After the SSA backend is done, analyze the result and build location
lists for each LocalSlot.
- After assembly is done, update the location lists with the assembled
PC offsets, recompose variables, and build DWARF location lists. Emit the
list as a new linker symbol, one per function.
- In the linker, aggregate the location lists into a .debug_loc section.

When compiling concurrently, we walk all functions before compiling
any of them. Walking functions can cause variables to switch from
being non-addrtaken to addrtaken, e.g. to prepare for a runtime call.
Typechecking propagates addrtaken-ness of closure variables to
their outer variables, so that capturevars can decide whether to
pass the variable's value or a pointer to it.
When all functions are compiled immediately, as long as the containing
function is compiled prior to the closure, this propagation has no effect.
When compilation is deferred, though, in rare cases, this results in
a change in the addrtaken-ness of a variable in the outer function,
which in turn changes the compiler's output.
(This is rare because in a great many cases, a temporary has been
introduced, insulating the outer variable from modification.)
But concurrent compilation must generate identical results.
To fix this, track whether capturevars has run.
If it has, there is no need to update outer variables
when closure variables change.
Capturevars always runs before any functions are walked or compiled.
The remainder of the changes in this CL are to support the test.
In particular, -d=compilelater forces the compiler to walk all
functions before compiling any of them, despite being non-concurrent.
This is useful because -live is fundamentally incompatible with
concurrent compilation, but we want -c=1 to have no behavior changes.

This CL adds initial support for concurrent backend compilation.
BACKGROUND
The compiler currently consists (very roughly) of the following phases:
1. Initialization.
2. Lexing and parsing into the cmd/compile/internal/syntax AST.
3. Translation into the cmd/compile/internal/gc AST.
4. Some gc AST passes: typechecking, escape analysis, inlining,
closure handling, expression evaluation ordering (order.go),
and some lowering and optimization (walk.go).
5. Translation into the cmd/compile/internal/ssa SSA form.
6. Optimization and lowering of SSA form.
7. Translation from SSA form to assembler instructions.
8. Translation from assembler instructions to machine code.
9. Writing lots of output: machine code, DWARF symbols,
type and reflection info, export data.
Phase 2 was already concurrent as of Go 1.8.
Phase 3 is planned for eventual removal;
we hope to go straight from syntax AST to SSA.
Phases 5–8 are per-function; this CL adds support for
processing multiple functions concurrently.
The slowest phases in the compiler are 5 and 6,
so this offers the opportunity for some good speed-ups.
Unfortunately, it's not quite that straightforward.
In the current compiler, the latter parts of phase 4
(order, walk) are done function-at-a-time as needed.
Making order and walk concurrency-safe proved hard,
and they're not particularly slow, so there wasn't much reward.
To enable phases 5–8 to be done concurrently,
when concurrent backend compilation is requested,
we complete phase 4 for all functions
before starting later phases for any functions.
Also, in reality, we automatically generate new
functions in phase 9, such as method wrappers
and equality and has routines.
Those new functions then go through phases 4–8.
This CL disables concurrent backend compilation
after the first, big, user-provided batch of
functions has been compiled.
This is done to keep things simple,
and because the autogenerated functions
tend to be small, few, simple, and fast to compile.
USAGE
Concurrent backend compilation still defaults to off.
To set the number of functions that may be backend-compiled
concurrently, use the compiler flag -c.
In future work, cmd/go will automatically set -c.
Furthermore, this CL has been intentionally written
so that the c=1 path has no backend concurrency whatsoever,
not even spawning any goroutines.
This helps ensure that, should problems arise
late in the development cycle,
we can simply have cmd/go set c=1 always,
and revert to the original compiler behavior.
MUTEXES
Most of the work required to make concurrent backend
compilation safe has occurred over the past month.
This CL adds a handful of mutexes to get the rest of the way there;
they are the mutexes that I didn't see a clean way to avoid.
Some of them may still be eliminable in future work.
In no particular order:
* gc.funcsymsmu. The global funcsyms slice is populated
lazily when we need function symbols for closures.
This occurs during gc AST to SSA translation.
The function funcsym also does a package lookup,
which is a source of races on types.Pkg.Syms;
funcsymsmu also covers that package lookup.
This mutex is low priority: it adds a single global,
it is in an infrequently used code path, and it is low contention.
Since funcsyms may now be added in any order,
we must sort them to preserve reproducible builds.
* gc.largeStackFramesMu. We don't discover until after SSA compilation
that a function's stack frame is gigantic.
Recording that error happens basically never,
but it does happen concurrently.
Fix with a low priority mutex and sorting.
* obj.Link.hashmu. ctxt.hash stores the mapping from
types.Syms (compiler symbols) to obj.LSyms (linker symbols).
It is accessed fairly heavily through all the phases.
This is the only heavily contended mutex.
* gc.signatlistmu. The global signatlist map is
populated with types through several of the concurrent phases,
including notably via ngotype during DWARF generation.
It is low priority for removal.
* gc.typepkgmu. Looking up symbols in the types package
happens a fair amount during backend compilation
and DWARF generation, particularly via ngotype.
This mutex helps us to avoid a broader mutex on types.Pkg.Syms.
It has low-to-moderate contention.
* types.internedStringsmu. gc AST to SSA conversion and
some SSA work introduce new autotmps.
Those autotmps have their names interned to reduce allocations.
That interning requires protecting types.internedStrings.
The autotmp names are heavily re-used, and the mutex
overhead and contention here are low, so it is probably
a worthwhile performance optimization to keep this mutex.
TESTING
I have been testing this code locally by running
'go install -race cmd/compile'
and then doing
'go build -a -gcflags=-c=128 std cmd'
for all architectures and a variety of compiler flags.
This obviously needs to be made part of the builders,
but it is too expensive to make part of all.bash.
I have filed #19962 for this.
REPRODUCIBLE BUILDS
This version of the compiler generates reproducible builds.
Testing reproducible builds also needs automation, however,
and is also too expensive for all.bash.
This is #19961.
Also of note is that some of the compiler flags used by 'toolstash -cmp'
are currently incompatible with concurrent backend compilation.
They still work fine with c=1.
Time will tell whether this is a problem.
NEXT STEPS
* Continue to find and fix races and bugs,
using a combination of code inspection, fuzzing,
and hopefully some community experimentation.
I do not know of any outstanding races,
but there probably are some.
* Improve testing.
* Improve performance, for many values of c.
* Integrate with cmd/go and fine tune.
* Support concurrent compilation with the -race flag.
It is a sad irony that it does not yet work.
* Minor code cleanup that has been deferred during
the last month due to uncertainty about the
ultimate shape of this CL.

Comparing this CL to itself, from c=1 to c=2
improves real times 20-30%, costs 5-10% more CPU time,
and adds about 2% alloc.
The allocation increase comes from allocating more ssa.Caches.

Going beyond c=4 on my machine tends to increase CPU time and allocs
without impacting real time.
The CPU time numbers matter, because when there are many concurrent
compilation processes, that will impact the overall throughput.
The numbers above are in many ways the best case scenario;
we can take full advantage of all cores.
Fortunately, the most common compilation scenario is incremental
re-compilation of a single package during a build/test cycle.

debug keys to print a more detailed help:
$ go tool compile -d help

<key> is one of:
append print information about append compilation
closure print information about closure compilation

ssa/help print help about SSA debugging
<value> is key-specific.
Key "pctab" supports values:

Now only cmd/asm and cmd/compile depend on cmd/internal/obj. Changing
the assembler backends no longer requires reinstalling cmd/link or
cmd/addr2line.
There's also now one canonical definition of the object file format in
cmd/internal/objabi/doc.go, with a warning to update all three
implementations.
objabi is still something of a grab bag of unrelated code (e.g., flag
and environment variable handling probably belong in a separate "tool"
package), but this is still progress.

We don't support stack frames over 2GB.
Rather than detect this during backend compilation,
check for it at the end of compilation.
This is arguably a more accurate check anyway,
since it takes into account the full frame,
including local stack, arguments, and arch-specific
rounding, although it's unlikely anyone would ever notice.
Also, rather than reporting the error right away,
take note of it and report it later, at the top level.
This is not relevant now, but it will help with making
the backend concurrent, as the append to the list of
oversized functions can be cheaply protected by a plain mutex.
