Small types record the location of pointers in their memory layout
by using a simple bitmap. In Go 1.4 the bitmap held 4-bit entries,
and in Go 1.5 the bitmap holds 1-bit entries, but in both cases using
a bitmap for a large type containing arrays does not make sense:
if someone refers to the type [1<<28]*byte in a program in such
a way that the type information makes it into the binary, it would be
a waste of space to write a 128 MB (for 4-bit entries) or even 32 MB
(for 1-bit entries) bitmap full of 1s into the binary or even to keep
one in memory during the execution of the program.
For large types containing arrays, it is much more compact to describe
the locations of pointers using a notation that can express repetition
than to lay out a bitmap of pointers. Go 1.4 included such a notation,
called ``GC programs'' but it was complex, required recursion during
decoding, and was generally slow. Dmitriy measured the execution of
these programs writing directly to the heap bitmap as being 7x slower
than copying from a preunrolled 4-bit mask (and frankly that code was
not terribly fast either). For some tests, unrollgcprog1 was seen costing
as much as 3x more than the rest of malloc combined.
This CL introduces a different form for the GC programs. They use a
simple Lempel-Ziv-style encoding of the 1-bit pointer information,
in which the only operations are (1) emit the following n bits
and (2) repeat the last n bits c more times. This encoding can be
generated directly from the Go type information (using repetition
only for arrays or large runs of non-pointer data) and it can be decoded
very efficiently. In particular the decoding requires little state and
no recursion, so that the entire decoding can run without any memory
accesses other than the reads of the encoding and the writes of the
decoded form to the heap bitmap. For recursive types like arrays of
arrays of arrays, the inner instructions are only executed once, not
n times, so that large repetitions run at full speed. (In contrast, large
repetitions in the old programs repeated the individual bit-level layout
of the inner data over and over.) The result is as much as 25x faster
decoding compared to the old form.
Because the old decoder was so slow, Go 1.4 had three (or so) cases
for how to set the heap bitmap bits for an allocation of a given type:
(1) If the type had an even number of words up to 32 words, then
the 4-bit pointer mask for the type fit in no more than 16 bytes;
store the 4-bit pointer mask directly in the binary and copy from it.
(1b) If the type had an odd number of words up to 15 words, then
the 4-bit pointer mask for the type, doubled to end on a byte boundary,
fit in no more than 16 bytes; store that doubled mask directly in the
binary and copy from it.
(2) If the type had an even number of words up to 128 words,
or an odd number of words up to 63 words (again due to doubling),
then the 4-bit pointer mask would fit in a 64-byte unrolled mask.
Store a GC program in the binary, but leave space in the BSS for
the unrolled mask. Execute the GC program to construct the mask the
first time it is needed, and thereafter copy from the mask.
(3) Otherwise, store a GC program and execute it to write directly to
the heap bitmap each time an object of that type is allocated.
(This is the case that was 7x slower than the other two.)
Because the new pointer masks store 1-bit entries instead of 4-bit
entries and because using the decoder no longer carries a significant
overhead, after this CL (that is, for Go 1.5) there are only two cases:
(1) If the type is 128 words or less (no condition about odd or even),
store the 1-bit pointer mask directly in the binary and use it to
initialize the heap bitmap during malloc. (Implemented in CL 9702.)
(2) There is no case 2 anymore.
(3) Otherwise, store a GC program and execute it to write directly to
the heap bitmap each time an object of that type is allocated.
Executing the GC program directly into the heap bitmap (case (3) above)
was disabled for the Go 1.5 dev cycle, both to avoid needing to use
GC programs for typedmemmove and to avoid updating that code as
the heap bitmap format changed. Typedmemmove no longer uses this
type information; as of CL 9886 it uses the heap bitmap directly.
Now that the heap bitmap format is stable, we reintroduce GC programs
and their space savings.

The above compares always using a cached pointer mask (and the
corresponding waste of memory) against using the programs directly.
Some slowdown is expected, in exchange for having a better general algorithm.
The GC programs kick in for SetTypeNode128, SetTypeNode130, SetTypeNode1024,
along with the slice variants of those.
It is possible that the cutoff of 128 words (bits) should be raised
in a followup CL, but even with this low cutoff the GC programs are
faster than Go 1.4's "fast path" non-GC program case.

SetTypeNode124 uses a 124 data + 2 ptr = 126-word allocation.
Both Go 1.4 and this CL are using pointer bitmaps for this case,
so that's an overall 3x speedup for using pointer bitmaps.
SetTypeNode128 uses a 128 data + 2 ptr = 130-word allocation.
Both Go 1.4 and this CL are running the GC program for this case,
so that's an overall 17x speedup when using GC programs (and
I've seen >20x on other systems).
Comparing Go 1.4's SetTypeNode124 (pointer bitmap) against
this CL's SetTypeNode128 (GC program), the slow path in the
code in this CL is 2x faster than the fast path in Go 1.4.
The Go 1 benchmarks are basically unaffected compared to just before this CL.

This CL is a bit larger than I would like, but the compiler, linker, runtime,
and package reflect all need to be in sync about the format of these programs,
so there is no easy way to split this into independent changes (at least
while keeping the build working at each change).
Fixes#9625.

This allows the removal of a fudge in data.go.
We have to defer the calls to adddynlib on non-Darwin until after we have
decided whether we are externally or internally linking. The Macho/ELF
separation could do with some cleaning up, but: code freeze.
Fixing this once rather than per-arch is what inspired the previous CLs.

This:
1) Defines the ABI hash of a package (as the SHA1 of the __.PKGDEF)
2) Defines the ABI hash of a shared library (sort the packages by import
path, concatenate the hashes of the packages and SHA1 that)
3) When building a shared library, compute the above value and define a
global symbol that points to a go string that has the hash as its value.
4) When linking against a shared library, read the abi hash from the
library and put both the value seen at link time and a reference
to the global symbol into the moduledata.
5) During runtime initialization, check that the hash seen at link time
still matches the hash the global symbol points to.

Update #10652
This proposal deletes cmd/internal/ld.Biobuf and replaces all uses with
cmd/internal/obj.Biobuf. As cmd/internal/ld already imported cmd/internal/obj
there are no additional dependencies created.
Notes:
- ld.Boffset included more checks, so it was merged into obj.Boffset
- obj.Bflush was removed in 8d16253c90, so replaced all calls to
ld.Bflush, with obj.Biobuf.Flush.
- Almost all of this change was prepared with sed.

To make the gcprog for global data containing variables of types defined in other shared
libraries, we need to know a lot about those types. So read the value of any symbol with
a name starting with "type.". If a type uses a mask, the name of the symbol defining the
mask unfortunately cannot be predicted from the type name so I have to keep track of the
addresses of every such symbol and associate them with the type symbols after the fact.
I'm not very happy about this change, but something like this is needed and this is as
pleasant as I know how to make it.

The majority of this CL was prepared via scripted invocations of
`gofmt -w -r "$SYM -> obj.$SYM" cmd/internal/ld/*.go` and `gofmt -w -r
"ld.$SYM -> obj.$SYM" cmd/?l/*.go`.
Because of issue #7417, that was followed by repeatedly running an AWK
script to identify lines that differed other than whitespace changes
or "ld." or "obj." prefixes and manually restoring comments.
Finally, the redundant constants from cmd/internal/ld/link.go were
removed, and "goimports -w" was used to cleanup import lines.
Passes rsc.io/toolstash/buildall, even when modified to also build cmd.
Fixes#10055.

Uses ar to create an archive when -buildmode=c-archive.
A small example (that I hope to turn into a test in a later CL):
goarchive.go:
package main
import "fmt"
import "C"
func init() {
fmt.Println("ran go init")
}
//export FuncInGo
func FuncInGo() {
fmt.Println("called a go function")
}
func main() {
fmt.Println("in main")
}
This can be compiled with:
go build -ldflags=-buildmode=c-archive -o=libgo.a goarchive.go
main.c:
#include <stdio.h>
extern void FuncInGo();
int main(void) {
printf("c hello\n");
FuncInGo();
printf("c goodbye\n");
return 0;
}
Can be compiled with:
cc main.c libgo.a
Apple provide a warning about the lack of PIE, but still produce a
binary which runs and outputs (on darwin/amd64):
c hello
ran go init
called a go function
c goodbye

The linker currently (on some platforms) takes a -shared flag, which means
approximately what -buildmode=c-shared means in the in the proposed "Go
Execution Modes" document. As part of implementing other modes, the term
"shared" becomes horribly overloaded, so this replaces -shared with a
-buildmode argument instead (which currently only handles -buildmode=c-shared
and the default -buildmode=exe -- no new behaviour here).
As the linker support for -shared was in 1.4 this retains it as an alias.

For shared libraries we need to be more flexible in how these symbols
are handled (e.g. sometimes tlsg needs to be global, or you can get
a SDYNIMPORT symbol that has .Hide == true) so handling these cases
in genasmsym makes everything much more regular.
Even ignoring shared libraries, I think this is a bit cleaner.

- if the symbol is present, adds a new entry into the .init_array ELF
section that points to the symbol.
The end-effect is that the symbol _rt0_<GOARCH>_<GOOS>_lib will be
invoked as soon as the (ELF) shared library is loaded, which will in turn
initialize the runtime. (To be implemented.)

Run rsc.io/grind rev a26569f on C->Go conversions.
The new change in grind is the inlining of goto targets.
If code says 'goto x' and the block starting at label x is unreachable
except through that goto and the code can be moved to where
the goto is without changing the meaning of its variable names,
grind does that move. Simlarly, a goto to a plain return statement
turns into that return statement (even if there are other paths to
the return statement).
Combined, these remove many long-distance gotos, which in turn
makes it possible to reduce the scope of more variable declarations.
(Because gotos can't jump across declarations, the gotos were
keeping the declarations from moving.)
Checked bit-for-bit compatibility with toolstash + buildall.
Reduces compiler runtime in html/template by about 12%.
