2025-06-27runtime: account for missing frame pointer in preambleMichael Anthony Knyszek
If a goroutine is synchronously preempted, then taking a frame-pointer-based stack trace at that preemption will skip PC of the caller of the function which called into morestack. This happens because the frame pointer is pushed to the stack after the preamble, leaving the stack in an odd state for frame pointer unwinding. Deal with this by marking a goroutine as synchronously preempted and using that signal to load the missing PC from the stack. On LR platforms this is available in gp.sched.lr. On non-LR platforms like x86, it's at gp.sched.sp, because there are no args, no locals, and no frame pointer pushed to the SP yet. For #68090.

2024-11-13runtime: prevent weak->strong conversions during mark terminationMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently it's possible for weak->strong conversions to create more GC work during mark termination. When a weak->strong conversion happens during the mark phase, we need to mark the newly-strong pointer, since it may now be the only pointer to that object. In other words, the object could be white. But queueing new white objects creates GC work, and if this happens during mark termination, we could end up violating mark termination invariants. In the parlance of the mark termination algorithm, the weak->strong conversion is a non-monotonic source of GC work, unlike the write barriers (which will eventually only see black objects). This change fixes the problem by forcing weak->strong conversions to block during mark termination. We can do this efficiently by setting a global flag before the ragged barrier that is checked at each weak->strong conversion. If the flag is set, then the conversions block. The ragged barrier ensures that all Ps have observed the flag and that any weak->strong conversions which completed before the ragged barrier have their newly-minted strong pointers visible in GC work queues if necessary. We later unset the flag and wake all the blocked goroutines during the mark termination STW. There are a few subtleties that we need to account for. For one, it's possible that a goroutine which blocked in a weak->strong conversion wakes up only to find it's mark termination time again, so we need to recheck the global flag on wake. We should also stay non-preemptible while performing the check, so that if the check *does* appear as true, it cannot switch back to false while we're actively trying to block. If it switches to false while we try to block, then we'll be stuck in the queue until the following GC. All-in-all, this CL is more complicated than I would have liked, but it's the only idea so far that is clearly correct to me at a high level. This change adds a test which is somewhat invasive as it manipulates mark termination, but hopefully that infrastructure will be useful for debugging, fixing, and regression testing mark termination whenever we do fix it. Fixes #69803.

2024-07-26runtime: allow experimental trace batches to be reusedAustin Clements
Currently, we can only cache regular trace event buffers on each M. As a result, calling unsafeTraceExpWriter will, in effect, always return a new trace batch, with all of the overhead that entails. This extends that cache to support buffers for experimental trace data. This way, unsafeTraceExpWriter can return a partially used buffer, which the caller can continue to extend. This gives the caller control over when these buffers get flushed and reuses all of the existing trace buffering mechanism. This also has the consequence of simplifying the experimental batch infrastructure a bit. Now, traceWriter needs to know the experiment ID anyway, which means there's no need for a separate traceExpWriter type.

2024-07-25runtime: allow the tracer to be reentrantMichael Anthony Knyszek
This change allows the tracer to be reentrant by restructuring the internals such that writing an event is atomic with respect to stack growth. Essentially, a core set of functions that are involved in acquiring a trace buffer and writing to it are all marked nosplit. Stack growth is currently the only hidden place where the tracer may be accidentally reentrant, preventing the tracer from being used everywhere. It already lacks write barriers, lacks allocations, and is non-preemptible. This change thus makes the tracer fully reentrant, since the only reentry case it needs to handle is stack growth. Since the invariants needed to attain this are subtle, this change also extends the debugTraceReentrancy debug mode to check these invariants as well. Specifically, the invariants are checked by setting the throwsplit flag. A side benefit of this change is it simplifies the trace event writing API a good bit: there's no need to actually thread the event writer through things, and most callsites look a bit simpler.

2024-05-22runtime: skip tracing events that would cause reentrancyMichael Anthony Knyszek
Some of the new experimental events added have a problem in that they might be emitted during stack growth. This is, to my knowledge, the only restriction on the tracer, because the tracer otherwise prevents preemption, avoids allocation, and avoids write barriers. However, the stack can grow from within the tracer. This leads to tracing-during-tracing which can result in lost buffers and broken event streams. (There's a debug mode to get a nice error message, but it's disabled by default.) This change resolves the problem by skipping writing out these new events. This results in the new events sometimes being broken (alloc without a free, free without an alloc) but for now that's OK. Before the freeze begins we just want to fix broken tests; tools interpreting these events will be totally in-house to begin with, and if they have to be a little bit smarter about missing information, that's OK. In the future we'll have a more robust fix for this, but it appears that it's going to require making the tracer fully reentrant. (This is not too hard; either we force flushing all buffers when going reentrant (which is actually somewhat subtle with respect to event ordering) or we isolate down just the actual event writing to be atomic with respect to stack growth. Both are just bigger changes on shared codepaths that are scary to land this late in the release cycle.) Fixes #67379.

2024-05-08runtime: add traceallocfree GODEBUG for alloc/free events in tracesMichael Anthony Knyszek
This change adds expensive alloc/free events to traces, guarded by a GODEBUG that can be set at run time by mutating the GODEBUG environment variable. This supersedes the alloc/free trace deleted in a previous CL. There are two parts to this CL. The first part is adding a mechanism for exposing experimental events through the tracer and trace parser. This boils down to a new ExperimentalEvent event type in the parser API which simply reveals the raw event data for the event. Each experimental event can also be associated with "experimental data" which is associated with a particular generation. This experimental data is just exposed as a bag of bytes that supplements the experimental events. In the runtime, this CL organizes experimental events by experiment. An experiment is defined by a set of experimental events and a single special batch type. Batches of this special type are exposed through the parser's API as the aforementioned "experimental data". The second part of this CL is defining the AllocFree experiment, which defines 9 new experimental events covering heap object alloc/frees, span alloc/frees, and goroutine stack alloc/frees. It also generates special batches that contain a type table: a mapping of IDs to type information.

2024-04-19runtime: track frame pointer while in syscallMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently the runtime only tracks the PC and SP upon entering a syscall, but not the FP (BP). This is mainly for historical reasons, and because the tracer (which uses the frame pointer unwinder) does not need it. Until it did, of course, in CL 567076, where the tracer tries to take a stack trace of a goroutine that's in a syscall from afar. It tries to use gp.sched.bp and lots of things go wrong. It *really* should be using the equivalent of gp.syscallbp, which doesn't exist before this CL. This change introduces gp.syscallbp and tracks it. It also introduces getcallerfp which is nice for simplifying some code. Because we now have gp.syscallbp, we can also delete the frame skip count computation in traceLocker.GoSysCall, because it's now the same regardless of whether frame pointer unwinding is used. Fixes #66889.
