The register allocator decides which variables should be placed into registers by charging for each load/store and crediting for each use, and then selecting an allocation with minimal cost. NOPs will be eliminated, however, so using a variable in a NOP should not generate credit.
Issue 7867 arises from attempted registerization of multi-word variables because they are used in NOPs. By not crediting for that use, they will no longer be considered for registerization.
This fix could theoretically lead to better register allocation, but NOPs are rare relative to other instructions.

Trying to make GODEBUG=gcdead=1 work with liveness
and in particular ambiguously live variables.
1. In the liveness computation, mark all ambiguously live
variables as live for the entire function, except the entry.
They are zeroed directly after entry, and we need them not
to be poisoned thereafter.
2. In the liveness computation, compute liveness (and deadness)
for all parameters, not just pointer-containing parameters.
Otherwise gcdead poisons untracked scalar parameters and results.
3. Fix liveness debugging print for -live=2 to use correct bitmaps.
(Was not updated for compaction during compaction CL.)
4. Correct varkill during map literal initialization.
Was killing the map itself instead of the inserted value temp.
5. Disable aggressive varkill cleanup for call arguments if
the call appears in a defer or go statement.
6. In the garbage collector, avoid bug scanning empty
strings. An empty string is two zeros. The multiword
code only looked at the first zero and then interpreted
the next two bits in the bitmap as an ordinary word bitmap.
For a string the bits are 11 00, so if a live string was zero
length with a 0 base pointer, the poisoning code treated
the length as an ordinary word with code 00, meaning it
needed poisoning, turning the string into a poison-length
string with base pointer 0. By the same logic I believe that
a live nil slice (bits 11 01 00) will have its cap poisoned.
Always scan full multiword struct.
7. In the runtime, treat both poison words (PoisonGC and
PoisonStack) as invalid pointers that warrant crashes.
Manual testing as follows:
- Create a script called gcdead on your PATH containing:
#!/bin/bash
GODEBUG=gcdead=1 GOGC=10 GOTRACEBACK=2 exec "$@"
- Now you can build a test and then run 'gcdead ./foo.test'.
- More importantly, you can run 'go test -short -exec gcdead std'
to run all the tests.
Fixes#7676.
While here, enable the precise scanning of slices, since that was
disabled due to bugs like these. That now works, both with and
without gcdead.

CL 81940043 reduced the number of ambiguously live temps
in the godoc binary from 860 to 711.
CL 83090046 reduced the number from 711 to 121.
This CL reduces the number from 121 to 23.
15 the 23 that remain are in fact ambiguously live.
The final 8 could be fixed but are not trivial and
not common enough to warrant work at this point
in the release cycle.
These numbers only count ambiguously live temps,
not ambiguously live user-declared variables.
There are 18 such variables in the godoc binary after this CL,
so a total of 41 ambiguously live temps or user-declared
variables.
The net effect is that zeroing anything on entry to a function
should now be a rare event, whereas earlier it was the
common case.
This is good enough for Go 1.3, and probably good
enough for future releases too.

1. In functions with heap-allocated result variables or with
defer statements, the return sequence requires more than
just a single RET instruction. There is an optimization that
arranges for all returns to jump to a single copy of the return
epilogue in this case. Unfortunately, that optimization is
fundamentally incompatible with PC-based liveness information:
it takes PCs at many different points in the function and makes
them all land at one PC, making the combined liveness information
at that target PC a mess. Disable this optimization, so that each
return site gets its own copy of the 'call deferreturn' and the
copying of result variables back from the heap.
This removes quite a few spurious 'ambiguously live' variables.
2. Let orderexpr allocate temporaries that are passed by address
to a function call and then die on return, so that we can arrange
an appropriate VARKILL.
2a. Do this for ... slices.
2b. Do this for closure structs.
2c. Do this for runtime.concatstring, which is the implementation
of large string additions. Change representation of OADDSTR to

3. Let orderexpr allocate the temporary variable copies used for
range loops, so that they can be killed when the loop is over.
Similarly, let it allocate the temporary holding the map iterator.

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.

1. On entry to a function, only zero the ambiguously live stack variables.
Before, we were zeroing all stack variables containing pointers.
The zeroing is pretty inefficient right now (issue 7624), but there are also
too many stack variables detected as ambiguously live (issue 7345),
and that must be addressed before deciding how to improve the zeroing code.
(Changes in 5g/ggen.c, 6g/ggen.c, 8g/ggen.c, gc/pgen.c)
Fixes#7647.
2. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis preserve the
whole-variable liveness property expected by the garbage collection
bitmap liveness analysis. That is, if the regopt liveness decides that
one word in a struct needs to be preserved, make sure it preserves
the entire struct. This is particularly important for multiword values
such as strings, slices, and interfaces, in which all the words need
to be present in order to understand the meaning.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c.)
Fixes#7591.
3. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis treat a variable
as having its address taken - which makes it preserved across
all future calls - whenever n->addrtaken is set, for consistency
with the gc bitmap liveness analysis, even if there is no machine
instruction actually taking the address. In this case n->addrtaken
is incorrect (a nicer way to put it is overconservative), and ideally
there would be no such cases, but they can happen and the two
analyses need to agree.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c; test in bug484.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
4. Remove spurious VARDEF annotations. As the comment in
gc/pgen.c explains, the VARDEF must immediately precede
the initialization. It cannot be too early, and it cannot be too late.
In particular, if a function call sits between the VARDEF and the
actual machine instructions doing the initialization, the variable
will be treated as live during that function call even though it is
uninitialized, leading to problems.
(Changes in gc/gen.c; test in live.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
5. Do not treat loading the address of a wide value as a signal
that the value must be initialized. Instead depend on the existence
of a VARDEF or the first actual read/write of a word in the value.
If the load is in order to pass the address to a function that does
the actual initialization, treating the load as an implicit VARDEF
causes the same problems as described in step 4.
The alternative is to arrange to zero every such value before
passing it to the real initialization function, but this is a much
easier and more efficient change.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
6. Treat wide input parameters with their address taken as
initialized on entry to the function. Otherwise they look
"ambiguously live" and we will try to emit code to zero them.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
7. An array of length 0 has no pointers, even if the element type does.
Without this change, the zeroing code complains when asked to
clear a 0-length array.

The garbage collector uses type information to guide the
traversal of the heap. If it sees a field that should be a string,
it marks the object pointed at by the string data pointer as
visited but does not bother to look at the data, because
strings contain bytes, not pointers.
If you save s[len(s):] somewhere, though, the string data pointer
actually points just beyond the string data; if the string data
were exactly the size of an allocated block, the string data
pointer would actually point at the next block. It is incorrect
to mark that next block as visited and not bother to look at
the data, because the next block may be some other type
entirely.
The fix is to ignore strings with zero length during collection:
they are empty and can never become non-empty: the base
pointer will never be used again. The handling of slices already
does this (but using cap instead of len).
This was not a bug in Go 1.2, because until January all string
allocations included a trailing NUL byte not included in the
length, so s[len(s):] still pointed inside the string allocation
(at the NUL).
This bug was causing the crashes in test/run.go. Specifically,
the parsing of a regexp in package regexp/syntax allocated a
[]syntax.Inst with rounded size 1152 bytes. In fact it
allocated many such slices, because during the processing of
test/index2.go it creates thousands of regexps that are all
approximately the same complexity. That takes a long time, and
test/run works on other tests in other goroutines. One such
other test is chan/perm.go, which uses an 1152-byte source
file. test/run reads that file into a []byte and then calls
strings.Split(string(src), "\n"). The string(src) creates an
1152-byte string - and there's a very good chance of it
landing next to one of the many many regexp slices already
allocated - and then because the file ends in a \n,
strings.Split records the tail empty string as the final
element in the slice. A garbage collection happens at this
point, the collection finds that string before encountering
the []syntax.Inst data it now inadvertently points to, and the
[]syntax.Inst data is not scanned for the pointers that it
contains. Each syntax.Inst contains a []rune, those are
missed, and the backing rune arrays are freed for reuse. When
the regexp is later executed, the runes being searched for are
no longer runes at all, and there is no match, even on text
that should match.
On 64-bit machines the pointer in the []rune inside the
syntax.Inst is larger (along with a few other pointers),
pushing the []syntax.Inst backing array into a larger size
class, avoiding the collision with chan/perm.go's
inadvertently sized file.
I expect this was more prevalent on OS X than on Linux or
Windows because those managed to run faster or slower and
didn't overlap index2.go with chan/perm.go as often. On the
ARM systems, we only run one errorcheck test at a time, so
index2 and chan/perm would never overlap.
It is possible that this bug is the root cause of other crashes
as well. For now we only know it is the cause of the test/run crash.

The VARDEF placement must be before the initialization
but after any final use. If you have something like s = ... using s ...
the rhs must be evaluated, then the VARDEF, then the lhs
assigned.
There is a large comment in pgen.c on gvardef explaining
this in more detail.
This CL also includes Ian's suggestions from earlier CLs,
namely commenting the use of mode in link.h and fixing
the precedence of the ~r check in dcl.c.
This CL enables the check that if liveness analysis decides
a variable is live on entry to the function, that variable must
be a function parameter (not a result, and not a local variable).
If this check fails, it indicates a bug in the liveness analysis or
in the generated code being analyzed.
The race detector generates invalid code for append(x, y...).
The code declares a temporary t and then uses cap(t) before
initializing t. The new liveness check catches this bug and
stops the compiler from writing out the buggy code.
Consequently, this CL disables the race detector tests in
run.bash until the race detector bug can be fixed
(golang.org/issue/7334).
Except for the race detector bug, the liveness analysis check
does not detect any problems (this CL and the previous CLs
fixed all the detected problems).

When the liveness code doesn't know a function doesn't return

The registerization code needs the function to end in a RET,
even if that RET is actually unreachable.
The liveness code needs to avoid such unreachable RETs.
It had a special case for final RET after JMP, but no case

cases, let fixjmp - which already knows what is and is not
reachable definitively - mark the unreachable RET so that
the liveness code can identify it.

live on entry to the function, which is clearly wrong.

Before, an unnamed return value turned into an ONAME node n with n->sym
named ~anon%d, and n->orig == n.
A blank-named return value turned into an ONAME node n with n->sym
named ~anon%d but n->orig == the original blank n. Code generation and
printing uses n->orig, so that this node formatted as _.
But some code does not use n->orig. In particular the liveness code does
not know about the n->orig convention and so mishandles blank identifiers.
It is possible to fix but seemed better to avoid the confusion entirely.
Now the first kind of node is named ~r%d and the second ~b%d; both have
n->orig == n, so that it doesn't matter whether code uses n or n->orig.
After this change the ->orig field is only used for other kinds of expressions,
not for ONAME nodes.
This requires distinguishing ~b from ~r names in a few places that care.

This CL makes the bitmaps a little more precise about variables
that have their address taken but for which the address does not
escape to the heap, so that the variables are kept in the stack frame
rather than allocated on the heap.
The code before this CL handled these variables by treating every
return statement as using every such variable and depending on
liveness analysis to essentially treat the variable as live during the
entire function. That approach has false positives and (worse) false
negatives. That is, it's both sloppy and buggy:
func f(b1, b2 bool) { // x live here! (sloppy)
if b2 {
print(0) // x live here! (sloppy)
return
}
var z **int
x := new(int)
*x = 42
z = &x
print(**z) // x live here (conservative)
if b2 {
print(1) // x live here (conservative)
return
}
for {
print(**z) // x not live here (buggy)
}
}
The first two liveness annotations (marked sloppy) are clearly
wrong: x cannot be live if it has not yet been declared.
The last liveness annotation (marked buggy) is also wrong:
x is live here as *z, but because there is no return statement
reachable from this point in the code, the analysis treats x as dead.
This CL changes the liveness calculation to mark such variables
live exactly at points in the code reachable from the variable
declaration. This keeps the conservative decisions but fixes
the sloppy and buggy ones.
The CL also detects ambiguously live variables, those that are
being marked live but may not actually have been initialized,
such as in this example:
func f(b1 bool) {
var z **int
if b1 {
x := new(int)
*x = 42
z = &x
} else {
y := new(int)
*y = 54
z = &y
}
print(**z) // x, y live here (conservative)
}
Since the print statement is reachable from the declaration of x,
x must conservatively be marked live. The same goes for y.
Although both x and y are marked live at the print statement,
clearly only one of them has been initialized. They are both
"ambiguously live".
These ambiguously live variables cause problems for garbage
collection: the collector cannot ignore them but also cannot
depend on them to be initialized to valid pointer values.
Ambiguously live variables do not come up too often in real code,
but recent changes to the way map and interface runtime functions
are invoked has created a large number of ambiguously live
compiler-generated temporary variables. The next CL will adjust
the analysis to understand these temporaries better, to make
ambiguously live variables fairly rare.
Once ambiguously live variables are rare enough, another CL will
introduce code at the beginning of a function to zero those
slots on the stack. At that point the garbage collector and the
stack copying routines will be able to depend on the guarantee that
if a slot is marked as live in a liveness bitmap, it is initialized.

For historical reasons, temp was returning a copy
of the created Node*, not the original Node*.
This meant that if analysis recorded information in the
returned node (for example, n->addrtaken = 1), the
analysis would not show up on the original Node*, the
one kept in fn->dcl and consulted during liveness
bitmap creation.
Correct this, and watch for it when setting addrtaken.

Bug #1:
Issue 5406 identified an interesting case:
defer iface.M()
may end up calling a wrapper that copies an indirect receiver
from the iface value and then calls the real M method. That's
two calls down, not just one, and so recover() == nil always
in the real M method, even during a panic.
[For the purposes of this entire discussion, a wrapper's
implementation is a function containing an ordinary call, not
the optimized tail call form that is somtimes possible. The
tail call does not create a second frame, so it is already
handled correctly.]
Fix this bug by introducing g->panicwrap, which counts the
number of bytes on current stack segment that are due to
wrapper calls that should not count against the recover
check. All wrapper functions must now adjust g->panicwrap up
on entry and back down on exit. This adds slightly to their
expense; on the x86 it is a single instruction at entry and
exit; on the ARM it is three. However, the alternative is to
make a call to recover depend on being able to walk the stack,
which I very much want to avoid. We have enough problems
walking the stack for garbage collection and profiling.
Also, if performance is critical in a specific case, it is already
faster to use a pointer receiver and avoid this kind of wrapper
entirely.
Bug #2:
The old code, which did not consider the possibility of two
calls, already contained a check to see if the call had split
its stack and so the panic-created segment was one behind the
current segment. In the wrapper case, both of the two calls
might split their stacks, so the panic-created segment can be
two behind the current segment.
Fix this by propagating the Stktop.panic flag forward during
stack splits instead of looking backward during recover.

Deferred functions are not run by a call instruction. They are run by
the runtime editing registers to make the call start with a caller PC
returning to a
CALL deferreturn
instruction.
That instruction has always had the line number of the function's
closing brace, but that instruction's line number is irrelevant.
Stack traces show the line number of the instruction before the
return PC, because normally that's what started the call. Not so here.
The instruction before the CALL deferreturn could be almost anywhere
in the function; it's unrelated and its line number is incorrect to show.
Fix the line number by inserting a true hardware no-op with the right
line number before the returned-to CALL instruction. That is, the deferred
calls now appear to start with a caller PC returning to the second instruction
in this sequence:
NOP
CALL deferreturn
The traceback will show the line number of the NOP, which we've set
to be the line number of the function's closing brace.
The NOP here is not the usual pseudo-instruction, which would be
elided by the linker. Instead it is the real hardware instruction:
XCHG AX, AX on 386 and amd64, and AND.EQ R0, R0, R0 on ARM.

Fixes#4396.
For fixed arrays larger than the unmapped page, agenr would general a nil check by loading the first word of the array. However there is no requirement for the first element of a byte array to be word aligned, so this check causes a trap on ARMv5 hardware (ARMv6 since relaxed that restriction, but it probably still comes at a cost).
Switching the check to MOVB ensures alignment is not an issue. This check is only invoked in a few places in the code where large fixed arrays are embedded into structs, compress/lzw is the biggest offender, and switching to MOVB has no observable performance penalty.

Avoids problems with local declarations shadowing other names.
We write a more explicit form than the incoming program, so there
may be additional type annotations. For example:
int := "hello"
j := 2
would normally turn into
var int string = "hello"
var j int = 2
but the int variable shadows the int type in the second line.
This CL marks all local variables with a per-function sequence number,
so that this would instead be:
var int·1 string = "hello"
var j·2 int = 2

Compiling expressions like:
s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[i]]]]]]]]]]]]
make 5g and 6g run out of registers. Such expressions can arise
if a slice is used to represent a permutation and the user wants
to iterate it.
This is due to the usual problem of allocating registers before
going down the expression tree, instead of allocating them in a
postfix way.
The functions cgenr and agenr (that generate a value to a newly
allocated register instead of an existing location), are either
introduced or modified when they already existed to allocate
the new register as late as possible, and sudoaddable is disabled
for OINDEX nodes so that igen/agenr is used instead.

general enough problem:
type T1 struct { F *T2 }

before T1 was done being evaluated, or T3 before T2
was done.

Here is a static copy of the go/parser benchmark. I ended up using
fancy encodings because the original parser.go had a number of `s
scattered throughout which made it hard to embed the source directly.
Curiously on my laptop this benchmark always scores roughly 10% higher
than the standalone benchmark. This may be down to the generation of
the fasta data set triggering the cpu governor to raise the cpu speed.
However the benchmark is consistent with itself across multiple runs.

They are broken and hard to make work.
They have never worked: if you import "/tmp/x"
from "/home/rsc/p.c" then the compiler rewrites
this into import "/home/rsc/tmp/x", which is
clearly wrong.
Also we just disallowed the : character in import
paths, so import "c:/foo" is already not allowed.
Finally, in order to support absolute paths well in
a build tool we'd have to provide a mechanism to
instruct the compiler to resolve absolute imports
by looking in some other tree (where the binaries live)
and provide a mapping from absolute path to location
in that tree. This CL avoids adding that complexity.

summary: gc: fix infinite recursion for embedded interfaces
This is causing 'interface type loop' errors during compilation
of a complex program. I don't understand what's happening
well enough to boil it down to a simple test case, but undoing
this change fixes the problem.
The change being undone is fixing a corner case (uses of
pointer to interface in an interface definition) that basically
only comes up in erroneous Go programs. Let's not try to
fix this again until after Go 1.
Unfixes issue 1909.

To allow these types as map keys, we must fill in
equal and hash functions in their algorithm tables.
Structs or arrays that are "just memory", like [2]int,
can and do continue to use the AMEM algorithm.
Structs or arrays that contain special values like
strings or interface values use generated functions
for both equal and hash.
The runtime helper func runtime.equal(t, x, y) bool handles
the general equality case for x == y and calls out to
the equal implementation in the algorithm table.
For short values (<= 4 struct fields or array elements),
the sequence of elementwise comparisons is inlined
instead of calling runtime.equal.

All but 3 cases (in gcimporter.go and hixie.go)
are automatic conversions using gofix.
No attempt is made to use the new Append functions
even though there are definitely opportunities.

This is the result of running `gofix -r hashsum` over the tree, changing
the hash function implementations by hand and then fixing a couple of
instances where gofix didn't catch something.
The changed implementations are as simple as possible while still
working: I'm not trying to optimise in this CL.

The allowed conversions before and after are:
type Tstring string
type Tbyte []byte
type Trune []rune
string <-> string // ok
string <-> []byte // ok
string <-> []rune // ok
string <-> Tstring // ok
string <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
string <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> string // ok
Tstring <-> []byte // ok
Tstring <-> []rune // ok
Tstring <-> Tstring // ok
Tstring <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Update spec, compiler, tests. Use in a few packages.
We agreed on this a few months ago but never implemented it.
Fixes#1707.

An experiment: allow structs to be copied even if they
contain unexported fields. This gives packages the
ability to return opaque values in their APIs, like reflect
does for reflect.Value but without the kludgy hacks reflect
resorts to.
In general, we trust programmers not to do silly things
like *x = *y on a package's struct pointers, just as we trust
programmers not to do unicode.Letter = unicode.Digit,
but packages that want a harder guarantee can introduce
an extra level of indirection, like in the changes to os.File
in this CL or by using an interface type.
All in one CL so that it can be rolled back more easily if
we decide this is a bad idea.

This contains the files that required handiwork, mostly
Makefiles with updated TARGs, plus the two packages
with modified package names.
html/template/doc.go needs a separate edit pass.
test/fixedbugs/bug358.go is not legal go so gofix fails on it.

Got rid of all the magic mystery globals. Now
for %N, %T, and %S, the flags +,- and # set a sticky
debug, sym and export mode, only visible in the new fmt.c.
Default is error mode. Handle h and l flags consistently with
the least side effects, so we can now change
things without worrying about unrelated things
breaking.

There is no semantic change here, just better errors.
If a function says it takes a byte, and you pass it an int,
the compiler error now says that you need a byte, not
that you need a uint8.

For example, if you are debugging an optimization
problem you can now run
GCFLAGS=-N gotest
This is a convention for make, not for the general build,
so it may go away or be done differently in the eventual
'go' command.
The plan is that people will be able to test their code for
rune safety by doing GCFLAGS=-r.

Unfortunate sequence of events is:
1. maxcpu=2, mcpu=1, grunning=1
2. starttheworld creates an extra M:
maxcpu=2, mcpu=2, grunning=1
4. the goroutine calls runtime.GOMAXPROCS(1)
maxcpu=1, mcpu=2, grunning=1
5. since it sees mcpu>maxcpu, it calls gosched()
6. schedule() deschedules the goroutine:
maxcpu=1, mcpu=1, grunning=0
7. schedule() call getnextandunlock() which
fails to pick up the goroutine again,
because canaddcpu() fails, because mcpu==maxcpu
8. then it sees that grunning==0,
reports deadlock and terminates

My previous CL:
changeset: 9645:ce2e5f44b310
user: Russ Cox <rsc@golang.org>
date: Tue Sep 06 10:24:21 2011 -0400
summary: gc: unify stack frame layout
introduced a bug wherein no variables were
being registerized, making Go programs 2-3x
slower than they had been before.
This CL fixes that bug (along with some others
it was hiding) and adds a test that optimization
makes at least one test case faster.

The handoff algorithm is really only good for two cores.
Beyond that we will need to so something more sophisticated,
like have each core hand off to the next one, around a circle.
Even so, the code is a good checkpoint; for now we'll limit the
number of gc procs to at most 2.
