2015-02-13cmd/ld: make cmd/ld a real libraryRuss Cox
Make cmd/ld a real library invoked by the individual linkers. There are no reverse symbol references anymore (symbols referred to in cmd/ld but defined in cmd/5l etc). This means that in principle we could do an automatic conversion of these to Go, as a stopgap until cmd/link is done or as a replacement for cmd/link.

2015-01-07runtime: faster version of findfuncKeith Randall
Use a lookup table to find the function which contains a pc. It is faster than the old binary search. findfunc is used primarily for stack copying and garbage collection. benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta BenchmarkStackCopy 294746596 255400980 -13.35% (findfunc is one of several tasks done by stack copy, the findfunc time itself is about 2.5x faster.) The lookup table is built at link time. The table grows the binary size by about 0.5% of the text segment. We impose a lower limit of 16 bytes on any function, which should not have much of an impact. (The real constraint required is <=256 functions in every 4096 bytes, but 16 bytes/function is easier to implement.)

2015-01-05Revert "liblink, cmd/ld, runtime: remove stackguard1"Russ Cox
This reverts commit ab0535ae3fb45ba734d47542cc4845f27f708d1b. I think it will remain useful to distinguish code that must run on a system stack from code that can run on either stack, even if that distinction is no longer based on the implementation language. That is, I expect to add a //go:systemstack comment that, in terms of the old implementation, tells the compiler, to pretend this function was written in C.

Now that we've removed all the C code in runtime and the C compilers, there is no need to have a separate stackguard field to check for C code on Go stack. Remove field g.stackguard1 and rename g.stackguard0 to g.stackguard. Adjust liblink and cmd/ld as necessary.

2014-07-03cmd/go, cmd/ld, runtime, os/user: TLS emulation for androidDavid Crawshaw
Based on cl/69170045 by Elias Naur. There are currently several schemes for acquiring a TLS slot to save the g register. None of them appear to work for android. The closest are linux and darwin. Linux uses a linker TLS relocation. This is not supported by the android linker. Darwin uses a fixed offset, and calls pthread_key_create until it gets the slot it wants. As the runtime loads late in the android process lifecycle, after an arbitrary number of other libraries, we cannot rely on any particular slot being available. So we call pthread_key_create, take the first slot we are given, and put it in runtime.tlsg, which we turn into a regular variable in cmd/ld. Makes android/arm cgo binaries work.

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.

2014-04-02cmd/gc, cmd/ld, runtime: compact liveness bitmapsRuss Cox
Reduce footprint of liveness bitmaps by about 5x. 1. Mark all liveness bitmap symbols as 4-byte aligned (they were aligned to a larger size by default). 2. The bitmap data is a bitmap count n followed by n bitmaps. Each bitmap begins with its own count m giving the number of bits. All the m's are the same for the n bitmaps. Emit this bitmap length once instead of n times. 3. Many bitmaps within a function have the same bit values, but each call site was given a distinct bitmap. Merge duplicate bitmaps so that no bitmap is written more than once. 4. Many functions end up with the same aggregate bitmap data. We used to name the bitmap data funcname.gcargs and funcname.gclocals. Instead, name it gclocals.<md5 of data> and mark it dupok so that the linker coalesces duplicate sets. This cut the bitmap data remaining after step 3 by 40%; I was not expecting it to be quite so dramatic.

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.

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
