When heapBitsSetType repeats a source bitmap with a scalar tail (typ.ptrdata < typ.size), it lays out the tail upon reaching the end of the source bitmap by simply increasing the number of bits claimed to be in the incoming bit buffer. This causes later iterations to read the appropriate number of zeros out of the bit buffer before starting on the next repeat of the source bitmap. Currently, however, later iterations of the loop continue to read bits from the source bitmap *regardless of the number of bits currently in the bit buffer*. The bit buffer can only hold 32 or 64 bits, so if the scalar tail is large and the padding bits exceed the size of the bit buffer, the read from the source bitmap on the next iteration will shift the incoming bits into oblivion when it attempts to put them in the bit buffer. When the buffer does eventually shift down to where these bits were supposed to be, it will contain zeros. As a result, words that should be marked as pointers on later repetitions are marked as scalars, so the garbage collector does not trace them. If this is the only reference to an object, it will be incorrectly freed. Fix this by adding logic to drain the bit buffer down if it is large instead of reading more bits from the source bitmap. Fixes #11286. Change-Id: I964432c4b9f1cec334fc8c3da0ff16460203feb6 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/11360Reviewed-by: Russ Cox <rsc@golang.org>
