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.

A TLS slot is reserved by _rt0_.*_plan9 as an automatic and
its address (which is static on Plan 9) is saved in the
global _privates symbol. The startup linkage now is exactly
like that from Plan 9 libc, and the way we access g is
exactly as if we'd have used privalloc(2).
Aside from making the code more standard, this change
drastically simplifies it, both for 386 and for amd64, and
makes the Plan 9 code in liblink common for both 386 and
amd64.
The amd64 runtime code was cleared of nxm assumptions, and
now runs on the standard Plan 9 kernel.

linklookup uses hash(name, v) as the hash table index but then
only compares name to find a symbol to return.
If hash(name, v1) == hash(name, v2) for v1 != v2, the lookup
for v2 will return the symbol with v1.
The input routines assume that each symbol is found only once,
and then each symbol is added to a linked list, with the list header
in the symbol. Adding a symbol to such a list multiple times
short-circuits the list the second time it is added, causing symbols
to be dropped.
The liblink rewrite introduced an elegant, if inefficient, handling
of duplicated symbols by creating a dummy symbol to read the
duplicate into. The dummy symbols are named .dup with
sequential version numbers. With many .dup symbols, eventually
there will be a conflict, causing a duplicate list add, causing elided
symbols, causing a crash when calling one of the elided symbols.
The bug is old (2011) but could not have manifested until the
liblink rewrite introduced this heavily duplicated symbol .dup.
(See History section below.)
1. Correct the lookup function.
2. Since we want all the .dup symbols to be different, there's no
point in inserting them into the table. Call linknewsym directly,
avoiding the lookup function entirely.
3. Since nothing can refer to the .dup symbols, do not bother
adding them to the list of functions (textp) at all.
4. In lieu of a unit test, introduce additional consistency checks to
detect adding a symbol to a list multiple times. This would have
caught the short-circuit more directly, and it will detect a variety
of double-use bugs, including the one arising from the bad lookup.
Fixes#7749.
History
On April 9, 2011, I submitted CL 4383047, making ld 25% faster.
Much of the focus was on the hash table lookup function, and
one of the changes was to remove the s->version == v comparison [1].
I don't know if this was a simple editing error or if I reasoned that
same name but different v would yield a different hash slot and
so the name test alone sufficed. It is tempting to claim the former,
but it was probably the latter.
Because the hash is an iterated multiply+add, the version ends up
adding v*3ⁿ to the hash, where n is the length of the name.
A collision would need x*3ⁿ ≡ y*3ⁿ (mod 2²⁴ mod 100003),
or equivalently x*3ⁿ ≡ x*3ⁿ + (y-x)*3ⁿ (mod 2²⁴ mod 100003),
so collisions will actually be periodic: versions x and y collide
when d = y-x satisfies d*3ⁿ ≡ 0 (mod 2²⁴ mod 100003).
Since we allocate version numbers sequentially, this is actually
about the best case one could imagine: the collision rate is
much lower than if the hash were more random.
http://play.golang.org/p/TScD41c_hA computes the collision
period for various name lengths.
The most common symbol in the new linker is .dup, and for n=4
the period is maximized: the 100004th symbol is the first collision.
Unfortunately, there are programs with more duplicated symbols
than that.
In Go 1.2 and before, duplicate symbols were handled without
creating a dummy symbol, so this particular case for generating
many duplicate symbols could not happen. Go does not use
versioned symbols. Only C does; each input file gives a different
version to its static declarations. There just aren't enough C files
for this to come up in that context.
So the bug is old but the realization of the bug is new.

If we compile a generated file stored in a temporary
directory - let's say /tmp/12345/work/x.c - then by default
6c stores the full path and then the pcln table in the
final binary includes the full path. This makes repeated builds
(using different temporary directories) produce different
binaries, even if the inputs are the same.
In the old 'go tool pack', the P flag specified a prefix to remove
from all stored paths (if present), and cmd/go invoked
'go tool pack grcP $WORK' to remove references to the
temporary work directory.
We've changed the build to avoid pack as much as possible,
under the theory that instead of making pack convert from
.6 to .a, the tools should just write the .a directly and save a
round of I/O.
Instead of going back to invoking pack always, define a common
flag -trimpath in the assemblers, C compilers, and Go compilers,
implemented in liblink, and arrange for cmd/go to use the flag.
Then the object files being written out have the shortened paths
from the start.
While we are here, reimplement pcln support for GOROOT_FINAL.
A build in /tmp/go uses GOROOT=/tmp/go, but if GOROOT_FINAL=/usr/local/go
is set, then a source file named /tmp/go/x.go is recorded instead as
/usr/local/go/x.go. We use this so that we can prepare distributions
to be installed in /usr/local/go without actually working in that
directory. The conversion to liblink deleted all the old file name
handling code, including the GOROOT_FINAL translation.
Bring the GOROOT_FINAL translation back.
Before this CL, using GOROOT_FINAL=/goroot make.bash:
g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $TMPDIR
6
g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $GOROOT
793
g%
After this CL:
g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $TMPDIR
0
g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $GOROOT
0
g%
(The references to $TMPDIR tend to be cgo-generated source files.)
Adding the -trimpath flag to the assemblers required converting
them to the new Go-semantics flag parser. The text in go1.3.html
is copied and adjusted from go1.1.html, which is when we applied
that conversion to the compilers and linkers.

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

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.

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.
