      runtime: perform write barriers on direct channel receive · f2d05389
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently we have write barriers for direct channel sends, where the
receiver is blocked and the sender is writing directly to the
receiver's stack; but not for direct channel receives, where the
sender is blocked and the receiver is reading directly from the
sender's stack.

This was okay with the old write barrier because either 1) the
receiver would write the received pointer into the heap (causing it to
be shaded), 2) the pointer would still be on the receiver's stack at
mark termination and we would rescan it, or 3) the receiver dropped
the pointer so it wasn't necessarily reachable anyway.

This is not okay with the write barrier because it lets a grey stack
send a white pointer to a black stack and then remove it from its own
stack. If the grey stack was the sole grey-protector of this pointer,
this hides the object from the garbage collector.

Fix this by making direct receives perform a stack-to-stack write
barrier just like direct sends do.

Fixes #17694.

      cmd/compile: avoid nil-ing out a node's Type in typecheckcomplit() on error · 9a8bf2d6
      Dhananjay Nakrani authored 
      typecheckcomplit nils out node's type, upon finding new errors.
This hides new errors in children's node as well as the type info
of current node. This change fixes that.

Fixes #17645.

      runtime: make assists perform root jobs · d35dfd40
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently, assists can only perform heap marking jobs. However, at the
beginning of GC, there are only root jobs and no heap marking jobs. As
a result, there's often a period at the beginning of a GC cycle where
no goroutine has accumulated assist credit, but at the same time it
can't get any credit because there are no heap marking jobs for it to
do yet. As a result, many goroutines often block on the assist queue
at the very beginning of the GC cycle.

This commit fixes this by allowing assists to perform root marking
jobs. The tricky part of this (and the reason we haven't done this
before) is that stack scanning jobs can lead to deadlocks if the
goroutines performing the stack scanning are themselves
non-preemptible, since two non-preemptible goroutines may try to scan
each other. To address this, we use the same insight d6625caf used to
simplify the mark worker stack scanning: as long as we're careful with
the stacks and only drain jobs while on the system stack, we can put
the goroutine into a preemptible state while we drain jobs. This means
an assist's user stack can be scanned while it continues to do work.

This reduces the rate of assist blocking in the x/benchmarks HTTP
benchmark by a factor of 3 and all remaining blocking happens towards
the *end* of the GC cycle, when there may genuinely not be enough work
to go around.

Ideally, assists would get credit for working on root jobs. Currently
they do not; however, this change prioritizes heap work over root jobs
in assists, so they're likely to mostly perform heap work. In contrast
with mark workers, for assists, the root jobs act only as a backstop
to create heap work when there isn't enough heap work.

Fixes #15361.

      runtime: lift systemstack part of gcAssistAlloc · f9e1adb7
      Austin Clements authored 
      This lifts the part of gcAssistAlloc that runs on the system stack to
its own function in preparation for letting assists perform root jobs
(notably stack scanning). This makes it easy to see that there are no
references to the user stack once we've entered gcAssistAlloc1, which
means it's safe to shrink the stack while in gcAssistAlloc1.

This does not yet make assists perform root jobs, so it's not actually
possible for the stack to shrink yet. That will happen in the next
commit.

The code in gcAssistAlloc1 is identical to the code that's currently
passed in a closure to systemstack with one exception. Currently, we
set the "completed" variable in the enclosing scope to indicate that
the assist completed the mark phase. This is exactly the sort of
cross-stack reference lifting this function is meant to prevent. We
replace this variable with setting gp.param to nil or non-nil to
indicate the completion status.

Updates #15361.
