Michael Pratt 51122090e1 [release-branch.go1.14] runtime: disable preemption in startTemplateThread
When a locked M wants to start a new M, it hands off to the template
thread to actually call clone and start the thread. The template thread
is lazily created the first time a thread is locked (or if cgo is in
use).

stoplockedm will release the P (_Pidle), then call handoffp to give the
P to another M. In the case of a pending STW, one of two things can
happen:

1. handoffp starts an M, which does acquirep followed by schedule, which
will finally enter _Pgcstop.

2. handoffp immediately enters _Pgcstop. This only occurs if the P has
no local work, GC work, and no spinning M is required.

If handoffp starts an M, and must create a new M to do so, then newm
will simply queue the M on newmHandoff for the template thread to do the
clone.

When a stop-the-world is required, stopTheWorldWithSema will start the
stop and then wait for all Ps to enter _Pgcstop. If the template thread
is not fully created because startTemplateThread gets stopped, then
another stoplockedm may queue an M that will never get created, and the
handoff P will never leave _Pidle. Thus stopTheWorldWithSema will wait
forever.

A sequence to trigger this hang when STW occurs can be visualized with
two threads:

  T1                                 T2
-------------------------------   -----------------------------

LockOSThread                      LockOSThread
  haveTemplateThread == 0
  startTemplateThread
    haveTemplateThread = 1
    newm                            haveTemplateThread == 1
      preempt -> schedule           g.m.lockedExt++
        gcstopm -> _Pgcstop         g.m.lockedg = ...
        park                        g.lockedm = ...
                                    return

                                 ... (any code)
                                   preempt -> schedule
                                     stoplockedm
                                       releasep -> _Pidle
                                       handoffp
                                         startm (first 3 handoffp cases)
                                          newm
                                            g.m.lockedExt != 0
                                            Add to newmHandoff, return
                                       park

Note that the P in T2 is stuck sitting in _Pidle. Since the template
thread isn't running, the new M will not be started complete the
transition to _Pgcstop.

To resolve this, we disable preemption around the assignment of
haveTemplateThread and the creation of the template thread in order to
guarantee that if handTemplateThread is set then the template thread
will eventually exist, in the presence of stops.

Vendoring in std and cmd
========================

The Go command maintains copies of external packages needed by the
standard library in the src/vendor and src/cmd/vendor directories.

In GOPATH mode, imports of vendored packages are resolved to these
directories following normal vendor directory logic
(see golang.org/s/go15vendor).

In module mode, std and cmd are modules (defined in src/go.mod and
src/cmd/go.mod). When a package outside std or cmd is imported
by a package inside std or cmd, the import path is interpreted
as if it had a "vendor/" prefix. For example, within "crypto/tls",
an import of "golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte" resolves to
"vendor/golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte". When a package with the
same path is imported from a package outside std or cmd, it will
be resolved normally. Consequently, a binary may be built with two
copies of a package at different versions if the package is
imported normally and vendored by the standard library.

Vendored packages are internally renamed with a "vendor/" prefix
to preserve the invariant that all packages have distinct paths.
This is necessary to avoid compiler and linker conflicts. Adding
a "vendor/" prefix also maintains the invariant that standard
library packages begin with a dotless path element.

The module requirements of std and cmd do not influence version
selection in other modules. They are only considered when running
module commands like 'go get' and 'go mod vendor' from a directory
in GOROOT/src.

Maintaining vendor directories
==============================

Before updating vendor directories, ensure that module mode is enabled.
Make sure GO111MODULE=off is not set ('on' or 'auto' should work).

Requirements may be added, updated, and removed with 'go get'.
The vendor directory may be updated with 'go mod vendor'.
A typical sequence might be:

    cd src
    go get -d golang.org/x/net@latest
    go mod tidy
    go mod vendor

Use caution when passing '-u' to 'go get'. The '-u' flag updates
modules providing all transitively imported packages, not only
the module providing the target package.

Note that 'go mod vendor' only copies packages that are transitively
imported by packages in the current module. If a new package is needed,
it should be imported before running 'go mod vendor'.
