2015-02-11runtime: never show system goroutines in tracebackDmitry Vyukov
Fixes #9791 g.issystem flag setup races with other code wherever we set it. Even if we set both in parent goroutine and in the system goroutine, it is still possible that some other goroutine crashes before the flag is set. We could pass issystem flag to newproc1, but we start all goroutines with go nowadays. Instead look at g.startpc to distinguish system goroutines (similar to topofstack).

2014-11-16runtime: fix sudog leakRuss Cox
The SudoG used to sit on the stack, so it was cheap to allocated and didn't need to be cleaned up when finished. For the conversion to Go, we had to move sudog off the stack for a few reasons, so we added a cache of recently used sudogs to keep allocation cheap. But we didn't add any of the necessary cleanup before adding a SudoG to the new cache, and so the cached SudoGs had stale pointers inside them that have caused all sorts of awful, hard to debug problems. CL 155760043 made sure SudoG.elem is cleaned up. CL 150520043 made sure SudoG.selectdone is cleaned up. This CL makes sure SudoG.next, SudoG.prev, and SudoG.waitlink are cleaned up. I should have done this when I did the other two fields; instead I wasted a week tracking down a leak they caused. A dangling SudoG.waitlink can point into a sudogcache list that has been "forgotten" in order to let the GC collect it, but that dangling .waitlink keeps the list from being collected. And then the list holding the SudoG with the dangling waitlink can find itself in the same situation, and so on. We end up with lists of lists of unusable SudoGs that are still linked into the object graph and never collected (given the right mix of non-trivial selects and non-channel synchronization).

2014-11-12[dev.cc] runtime: delete scalararg, ptrarg; rename onM to systemstackRuss Cox
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.) LGTM=khr R=r, khr CC=austin, golang-codereviews, iant, rlh https://golang.org/cl/174950043

2014-09-24cmd/cc, cmd/ld, runtime: disallow conservative data/bss objectsRuss Cox
In linker, refuse to write conservative (array of pointers) as the garbage collection type for any variable in the data/bss GC program. In the linker, attach the Go type to an already-read C declaration during dedup. This gives us Go types for C globals for free as long as the cmd/dist-generated Go code contains the declaration. (Most runtime C declarations have a corresponding Go declaration. Both are bss declarations and so the linker dedups them.) In cmd/dist, add a few more C files to the auto-Go-declaration list in order to get Go type information for the C declarations into the linker. In C compiler, mark all non-pointer-containing global declarations and all string data as NOPTR. This allows them to exist in C files without any corresponding Go declaration. Count C function pointers as "non-pointer-containing", since we have no heap-allocated C functions. In runtime, add NOPTR to the remaining pointer-containing declarations, none of which refer to Go heap objects. In runtime, also move os.Args and syscall.envs data into runtime-owned variables. Otherwise, in programs that do not import os or syscall, the runtime variables named os.Args and syscall.envs will be missing type information. I believe that this CL eliminates the final source of conservative GC scanning in non-SWIG Go programs, and therefore... Fixes #909.

2014-09-16runtime: use traceback to traverse defer structuresRuss Cox
This makes the GC and the stack copying agree about how to interpret the defer structures. Previously, only the stack copying treated them precisely. This removes an untyped memory allocation and fixes at least three copystack bugs. To make sure the GC can find the deferred argument frame until it has been copied, keep a Defer on the defer list during its execution. In addition to making it possible to remove the untyped memory allocation, keeping the Defer on the list fixes two races between copystack and execution of defers (in both gopanic and Goexit). The problem is that once the defer has been taken off the list, a stack copy that happens before the deferred arguments have been copied back to the stack will not update the arguments correctly. The new tests TestDeferPtrsPanic and TestDeferPtrsGoexit (variations on the existing TestDeferPtrs) pass now but failed before this CL. In addition to those fixes, keeping the Defer on the list helps correct a dangling pointer error during copystack. The traceback routines walk the Defer chain to provide information about where a panic may resume execution. When the executing Defer was not on the Defer chain but instead linked from the Panic chain, the traceback had to walk the Panic chain too. But Panic structs are on the stack and being updated by copystack. Traceback's use of the Panic chain while copystack is updating those structs means that it can follow an updated pointer and find itself reading from the new stack. The new stack is usually all zeros, so it sees an incorrect early end to the chain. The new TestPanicUseStack makes this happen at tip and dies when adjustdefers finds an unexpected argp. The new StackCopyPoison mode causes an earlier bad dereference instead. By keeping the Defer on the list, traceback can avoid walking the Panic chain at all, making it okay for copystack to update the Panics. We'd have the same problem for any Defers on the stack. There was only one: gopanic's dabort. Since we are not taking the executing Defer off the chain, we can use it to do what dabort was doing, and then there are no Defers on the stack ever, so it is okay for traceback to use the Defer chain even while copystack is executing: copystack cannot modify the Defer chain.

2014-09-08liblink, runtime: diagnose and fix C code running on Go stackRuss Cox
This CL contains compiler+runtime changes that detect C code running on Go (not g0, not gsignal) stacks, and it contains corrections for what it detected. The detection works by changing the C prologue to use a different stack guard word in the G than Go prologue does. On the g0 and gsignal stacks, that stack guard word is set to the usual stack guard value. But on ordinary Go stacks, that stack guard word is set to ^0, which will make any stack split check fail. The C prologue then calls morestackc instead of morestack, and morestackc aborts the program with a message about running C code on a Go stack. This check catches all C code running on the Go stack except NOSPLIT code. The NOSPLIT code is allowed, so the check is complete. Since it is a dynamic check, the code must execute to be caught. But unlike the static checks we've been using in cmd/ld, the dynamic check works with function pointers and other indirect calls. For example it caught sigpanic being pushed onto Go stacks in the signal handlers. Fixes #8667. LGTM=khr, iant R=golang-codereviews, khr, iant CC=golang-codereviews, r https://golang.org/cl/133700043
