2015-05-21cmd/compile, cmd/link: create from 5g, 5l, etcRuss Cox
Trivial merging of 5g, 6g, ... into go tool compile, and similarlly 5l, 6l, ... into go tool link. The files compile/main.go and link/main.go are new. Everything else in those directories is a move followed by change of imports and package name. This CL breaks the build. Manual fixups are in the next CL. See golang-dev thread titled "go tool compile, etc" for background.

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 8d16253c90ae, so replaced all calls to ld.Bflush, with obj.Biobuf.Flush. - Almost all of this change was prepared with sed.

term "inital exec" The long comment block in obj6.go:progedit talked about the two code sequences for accessing g as "local exec" and "initial exec", but really they are both forms of local exec. This stuff is confusing enough without using the wrong words for things, so rewrite it to talk about 2-instruction and 1-instruction sequences. Unfortunately the confusion has made it into code, with the R_TLS_IE relocation now doing double duty as meaning actual initial exec when externally linking and boring old local exec when linking internally (half of this is my fault). So this stops using R_TLS_IE in the local exec case. There is a chance this might break plan9 or windows, but I don't think so. Next step is working out what the heck is going on on ARM...

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.

2015-03-02cmd/5g etc: mechanical cleanupRuss Cox
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%.

2014-08-27cmd/5l, cmd/6l, cmd/8l: fix nacl binary corruption bugRuss Cox
NaCl requires the addition of a 32-byte "halt sled" at the end of the text segment. This means that segtext.len is actually 32 bytes shorter than reality. The computation of the file offset of the end of the data segment did not take this 32 bytes into account, so if len and len+32 rounded up (by 64k) to different values, the symbol table overwrote the last page of the data segment. The last page of the data segment is usually the C .string symbols, which contain the strings used in error prints by the runtime. So when this happens, your program probably crashes, and then when it does, you get binary garbage instead of all the usual prints. The chance of hitting this with a randomly sized text segment is 32 in 65536, or 1 in 2048. If you add or remove ANY code while trying to debug this problem, you're overwhelmingly likely to bump the text segment one way or the other and make the bug disappear. Correct all the computations to use segdata.fileoff+segdata.filelen instead of trying to rederive segdata.fileoff. This fixes the failure during the nacl/amd64p32 build.

2014-04-15liblink: introduce TLS register on 386 and amd64Russ Cox
When I did the original 386 ports on Linux and OS X, I chose to define GS-relative expressions like 4(GS) as relative to the actual thread-local storage base, which was usually GS but might not be (it might be FS, or it might be a different constant offset from GS or FS). The original scope was limited but since then the rewrites have gotten out of control. Sometimes GS is rewritten, sometimes FS. Some ports do other rewrites to enable shared libraries and other linking. At no point in the code is it clear whether you are looking at the real GS/FS or some synthesized thing that will be rewritten. The code manipulating all these is duplicated in many places. The first step to fixing issue 7719 is to make the code intelligible again. This CL adds an explicit TLS pseudo-register to the 386 and amd64. As a register, TLS refers to the thread-local storage base, and it can only be loaded into another register: MOVQ TLS, AX An offset from the thread-local storage base is written off(reg)(TLS*1). Semantically it is off(reg), but the (TLS*1) annotation marks this as indexing from the loaded TLS base. This emits a relocation so that if the linker needs to adjust the offset, it can. For example: MOVQ TLS, AX MOVQ 8(AX)(TLS*1), CX // load m into CX On systems that support direct access to the TLS memory, this pair of instructions can be reduced to a direct TLS memory reference: MOVQ 8(TLS), CX // load m into CX The 2-instruction and 1-instruction forms correspond roughly to ELF TLS initial exec mode and ELF TLS local exec mode, respectively. Liblink applies this rewrite on systems that support the 1-instruction form. The decision is made using only the operating system (and probably the -shared flag, eventually), not the link mode. If some link modes on a particular operating system require the 2-instruction form, then all builds for that operating system will use the 2-instruction form, so that the link mode decision can be delayed to link time. Obviously it is late to be making changes like this, but I despair of correcting issue 7719 and issue 7164 without it. To make sure I am not changing existing behavior, I built a "hello world" program for every GOOS/GOARCH combination we have and then worked to make sure that the rewrite generates exactly the same binaries, byte for byte. There are a handful of TODOs in the code marking kludges to get the byte-for-byte property, but at least now I can explain exactly how each binary is handled. The targets I tested this way are: darwin-386 darwin-amd64 dragonfly-386 dragonfly-amd64 freebsd-386 freebsd-amd64 freebsd-arm linux-386 linux-amd64 linux-arm nacl-386 nacl-amd64p32 netbsd-386 netbsd-amd64 openbsd-386 openbsd-amd64 plan9-386 plan9-amd64 solaris-amd64 windows-386 windows-amd64 There were four exceptions to the byte-for-byte goal: windows-386 and windows-amd64 have a time stamp at bytes 137 and 138 of the header. darwin-386 and plan9-386 have five or six modified bytes in the middle of the Go symbol table, caused by editing comments in runtime/sys_{darwin,plan9}_386.s.

2014-04-01cmd/gc: shorten temporary lifetimes when possibleRuss Cox
The new channel and map runtime routines take pointers to values, typically temporaries. Without help, the compiler cannot tell when those temporaries stop being needed, because it isn't sure what happened to the pointer. Arrange to insert explicit VARKILL instructions for these temporaries so that the liveness analysis can avoid seeing them as "ambiguously live". The change is made in order.c, which was already in charge of introducing temporaries to preserve the order-of-evaluation guarantees. Now its job has expanded to include introducing temporaries as needed by runtime routines, and then also inserting the VARKILL annotations for all these temporaries, so that their lifetimes can be shortened. In order to do its job for the map runtime routines, order.c arranges that all map lookups or map assignments have the form: x = m[k] x, y = m[k] m[k] = x where x, y, and k are simple variables (often temporaries). Likewise, receiving from a channel is now always: x = <-c In order to provide the map guarantee, order.c is responsible for rewriting x op= y into x = x op y, so that m[k] += z becomes t = m[k] t2 = t + z m[k] = t2 While here, fix a few bugs in order.c's traversal: it was failing to walk into select and switch case bodies, so order of evaluation guarantees were not preserved in those situations. Added tests to test/reorder2.go. Fixes #7671. In gc/popt's temporary-merging optimization, allow merging of temporaries with their address taken as long as the liveness ranges do not intersect. (There is a good chance of that now that we have VARKILL annotations to limit the liveness range.) Explicitly killing temporaries cuts the number of ambiguously live temporaries that must be zeroed in the godoc binary from 860 to 711, or -17%. There is more work to be done, but this is a good checkpoint. Update #7345 LGTM=khr R=khr CC=golang-codereviews https://golang.org/cl/81940043
2014-02-27all: final merge of NaCl treeRuss Cox
This CL replays the following one CL from the rsc-go13nacl repo. This is the last replay CL: after this CL the main repo will have everything the rsc-go13nacl repo did. Changes made to the main repo after the rsc-go13nacl repo branched off probably mean that NaCl doesn't actually work after this CL, but all the code is now moved over and just needs to be redebugged. --- cmd/6l, cmd/8l, cmd/ld: support for Native Client See golang.org/s/go13nacl for design overview. This CL is publicly visible but not CC'ed to golang-dev, to avoid distracting from the preparation of the Go 1.2 release. This CL and the others will be checked into my rsc-go13nacl clone repo for now, and I will send CLs against the main repo early in the Go 1.3 development.

2013-12-16cmd/ld: move instruction selection + layout into compilers, assemblersRuss Cox
- new object file reader/writer (liblink/objfile.c) - remove old object file writing routines - add pcdata iterator - remove all trace of "line number stack" and "path fragments" from object files, linker (!!!) - dwarf now writes a single "compilation unit" instead of one per package This CL disables the check for chains of no-split functions that could overflow the stack red zone. A future CL will attack the problem of reenabling that check (issue 6931). This CL is just the liblink and cmd/ld changes. There are minor associated adjustments in CL 37030045. Each depends on the other. R=golang-dev, dave, iant CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/39680043

2013-12-08liblink: create new library based on linker codeRuss Cox
There is an enormous amount of code moving around in this CL, but the code is the same, and it is invoked in the same ways. This CL is preparation for the new linker structure, not the new structure itself. The new library's definition is in include/link.h. The main change is the use of a Link structure to hold all the linker-relevant state, replacing the smattering of global variables. The Link structure should both make it clearer which state must be carried around and make it possible to parallelize more easily later. The main body of the linker has moved into the architecture-independent cmd/ld directory. That includes the list of known header types, so the distinction between Hplan9x32 and Hplan9x64 is removed (no other header type distinguished 32- and 64-bit formats), and code for unused formats such as ipaq kernels has been deleted. The code being deleted from 5l, 6l, and 8l reappears in liblink or in ld. Because multiple files are being merged in the liblink directory, it is not possible to show the diffs nicely in hg. The Prog and Addr structures have been unified into an architecture-independent form and moved to link.h, where they will be shared by all tools: the assemblers, the compilers, and the linkers. The unification makes it possible to write architecture-independent traversal of Prog lists, among other benefits. The Sym structures cannot be unified: they are too fundamentally different between the linker and the compilers. Instead, liblink defines an LSym - a linker Sym - to be used in the Prog and Addr structures, and the linker now refers exclusively to LSyms. The compilers will keep using their own syms but will fill out the corresponding LSyms in the Prog and Addr structures. Although code from 5l, 6l, and 8l is now in a single library, the code has been arranged so that only one architecture needs to be linked into a particular program: 5l will not contain the code needed for x86 instruction layout, for example. The object file writing code in liblink/obj.c is from cmd/gc/obj.c. Preparation for golang.org/s/go13linker work. This CL does not build by itself. It depends on 35740044 and will be submitted at the same time. R=iant CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/35790044
2013-12-05cmd/5g, cmd/5l, cmd/6g, cmd/6l, cmd/8g, cmd/8l, cmd/gc, runtime: generate ↵Carl Shapiro
pointer maps by liveness analysis This change allows the garbage collector to examine stack slots that are determined as live and containing a pointer value by the garbage collector. This results in a mean reduction of 65% in the number of stack slots scanned during an invocation of "GOGC=1 all.bash". Unfortunately, this does not yet allow garbage collection to be precise for the stack slots computed as live. Pointers confound the determination of what definitions reach a given instruction. In general, this problem is not solvable without runtime cost but some advanced cooperation from the compiler might mitigate common cases.
