Cherry Zhang ee330385ca cmd/internal/obj, runtime: preempt & restart some instruction sequences
On some architectures, for async preemption the injected call
needs to clobber a register (usually REGTMP) in order to return
to the preempted function. As a consequence, the PC ranges where
REGTMP is live are not preemptible.

The uses of REGTMP are usually generated by the assembler, where
it needs to load or materialize a large constant or offset that
doesn't fit into the instruction. In those cases, REGTMP is not
live at the start of the instruction sequence. Instead of giving
up preemption in those cases, we could preempt it and restart the
sequence when resuming the execution. Basically, this is like
reissuing an interrupted instruction, except that here the
"instruction" is a Prog that consists of multiple machine
instructions. For this to work, we need to generate PC data to
mark the start of the Prog.

Currently this is only done for ARM64.

TODO: the split-stack function prologue is currently not async
preemptible. We could use this mechanism, preempt it and restart
at the function entry.

Austin Clements 9d812cfa5c cmd/compile,runtime: stack maps only at calls, remove register maps
Currently, we emit stack maps and register maps at almost every
instruction. This was originally intended to support non-cooperative
preemption, but was only ever used for debug call injection. Now debug
call injection also uses conservative frame scanning. As a result,
stack maps are only needed at call sites and register maps aren't
needed at all except that we happen to also encode unsafe-point
information in the register map PCDATA stream.

This CL reduces stack maps to only appear at calls, and replace full
register maps with just safe/unsafe-point information.

This is all protected by the go115ReduceLiveness feature flag, which
is defined in both runtime and cmd/compile.

This CL significantly reduces binary sizes and also speeds up compiles
and links:

Austin Clements faafdf5115 cmd/compile: fix unsafe-points with stack maps
The compiler currently conflates whether a Value has a stack map with
whether it's an unsafe point. For the most part, unsafe-points don't
have stack maps, so this is mostly fine, but call instructions can be
both an unsafe-point *and* have a stack map. For example, none of the
instructions in a nosplit function should be preemptible, but calls
must still have stack maps in case the called function grows the stack
or get preempted.

Currently, the compiler can't distinguish this case, so calls in
nosplit functions are marked as safe-points just because they have
stack maps. This is particularly problematic if a nosplit function
calls another nosplit function, since this can introduce a preemption
point where there should be none.

We realized this was a problem for split-stack prologues a while back,
and CL 207349 changed the encoding of unsafe-points to use the
register map index instead of the stack map index so we could record
both a stack map and an unsafe-point at the same instruction. But this
was never extended into the compiler.

This CL fixes this problem in the compiler. We make LivenessIndex
slightly more abstract by separating unsafe-point marks from stack and
register map indexes. We map this to the PCDATA encoding later when
producing Progs. This isn't enough to fix the whole problem for
nosplit functions, because obj still adds prologues and marks those as
preemptible, but it's a step in the right direction.

I checked this CL by comparing maps before and after this change in
the runtime and net/http. In net/http, unsafe-points match exactly; at
anything that isn't an unsafe-point, both the stack and register maps
are unchanged by this CL. In the runtime, at every point that was a
safe-point before this change, the stack maps agree (and mostly the
runtime doesn't have register maps at all now). In both, all CALLs
(except write barrier calls) have stack maps.

For #36365.

Dan Scales be64a19d99 cmd/compile, cmd/link, runtime: make defers low-cost through inline code and extra funcdata
Generate inline code at defer time to save the args of defer calls to unique
(autotmp) stack slots, and generate inline code at exit time to check which defer
calls were made and make the associated function/method/interface calls. We
remember that a particular defer statement was reached by storing in the deferBits
variable (always stored on the stack). At exit time, we check the bits of the
deferBits variable to determine which defer function calls to make (in reverse
order). These low-cost defers are only used for functions where no defers
appear in loops. In addition, we don't do these low-cost defers if there are too
many defer statements or too many exits in a function (to limit code increase).

When a function uses open-coded defers, we produce extra
FUNCDATA_OpenCodedDeferInfo information that specifies the number of defers, and
for each defer, the stack slots where the closure and associated args have been
stored. The funcdata also includes the location of the deferBits variable.
Therefore, for panics, we can use this funcdata to determine exactly which defers
are active, and call the appropriate functions/methods/closures with the correct
arguments for each active defer.

In order to unwind the stack correctly after a recover(), we need to add an extra
code segment to functions with open-coded defers that simply calls deferreturn()
and returns. This segment is not reachable by the normal function, but is returned
to by the runtime during recovery. We set the liveness information of this
deferreturn() to be the same as the liveness at the first function call during the
last defer exit code (so all return values and all stack slots needed by the defer
calls will be live).

I needed to increase the stackguard constant from 880 to 896, because of a small
amount of new code in deferreturn().

The -N flag disables open-coded defers. '-d defer' prints out the kind of defer
being used at each defer statement (heap-allocated, stack-allocated, or
open-coded).

Cost of defer statement  [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkDefer$ runtime ]
  With normal (stack-allocated) defers only:         35.4  ns/op
  With open-coded defers:                             5.6  ns/op
  Cost of function call alone (remove defer keyword): 4.4  ns/op

Text size increase (including funcdata) for go binary without/with open-coded defers:  0.09%

The average size increase (including funcdata) for only the functions that use
open-coded defers is 1.1%.

The cost of a panic followed by a recover got noticeably slower, since panic
processing now requires a scan of the stack for open-coded defer frames. This scan
is required, even if no frames are using open-coded defers:

Cost of panic and recover [ go test -run NONE -bench BenchmarkPanicRecover runtime ]
  Without open-coded defers:        62.0 ns/op
  With open-coded defers:           255  ns/op

Josh Bleecher Snyder 4aeac68c92 runtime, cmd/compile: re-order PCDATA and FUNCDATA indices
The pclntab encoding supports writing only some PCDATA and FUNCDATA values.
However, the encoding is dense: The max index in use determines the space used.
We should thus choose a numbering in which frequently used indices are smaller.

This change re-orders the PCDATA and FUNCDATA indices using that principle,
using a quick and dirty instrumentation to measure index frequency.

It shrinks binaries by about 0.5%.

Keith Randall cbafcc55e8 cmd/compile,runtime: implement stack objects
Rework how the compiler+runtime handles stack-allocated variables
whose address is taken.

Direct references to such variables work as before. References through
pointers, however, use a new mechanism. The new mechanism is more
precise than the old "ambiguously live" mechanism. It computes liveness
at runtime based on the actual references among objects on the stack.

Each function records all of its address-taken objects in a FUNCDATA.
These are called "stack objects". The runtime then uses that
information while scanning a stack to find all of the stack objects on
a stack. It then does a mark phase on the stack objects, using all the
pointers found on the stack (and ancillary structures, like defer
records) as the root set. Only stack objects which are found to be
live during this mark phase will be scanned and thus retain any heap
objects they point to.

A subsequent CL will remove all the "ambiguously live" logic from
the compiler, so that the stack object tracing will be required.
For this CL, the stack tracing is all redundant with the current
ambiguously live logic.

Update #22350

This adds FUNCDATA and PCDATA that records the register maps much like
the existing live arguments maps and live locals maps. The register
map is indexed independently from the argument and locals maps since
changes in register liveness tend not to correlate with changes to
argument and local liveness.

This is the final CL toward adding safe-points everywhere. The

Matthew Dempsky 1e3570ac86 cmd/internal/objabi: extract shared functionality from obj
Now only cmd/asm and cmd/compile depend on cmd/internal/obj. Changing
the assembler backends no longer requires reinstalling cmd/link or
cmd/addr2line.

There's also now one canonical definition of the object file format in
cmd/internal/objabi/doc.go, with a warning to update all three
implementations.

objabi is still something of a grab bag of unrelated code (e.g., flag
and environment variable handling probably belong in a separate "tool"
package), but this is still progress.

Fixes #15165.
Fixes #20026.
