      cmd/compile: insert scheduling checks on loop backedges · 7f1ff65c
      David Chase authored 
      Loop breaking with a counter.  Benchmarked (see comments),
eyeball checked for sanity on popular loops.  This code
ought to handle loops in general, and properly inserts phi
functions in cases where the earlier version might not have.

Includes test, plus modifications to test/run.go to deal with
timeout and killing looping test.  Tests broken by the addition
of extra code (branch frequency and live vars) for added
checks turn the check insertion off.

If GOEXPERIMENT=preemptibleloops, the compiler inserts reschedule
checks on every backedge of every reducible loop.  Alternately,
specifying GO_GCFLAGS=-d=ssa/insert_resched_checks/on will
enable it for a single compilation, but because the core Go
libraries contain some loops that may run long, this is less
likely to have the desired effect.

This is intended as a tool to help in the study and diagnosis
of GC and other latency problems, now that goal STW GC latency
is on the order of 100 microseconds or less.

Updates #17831.
Updates #10958.

      Joe Tsai authored 
      In Go1.7, a 301, 302, or 303 redirect on a HEAD method, would still
cause the following redirects to still use a HEAD.
In CL/29852 this behavior was changed such that those codes always
caused a redirect with the GET method. Fix this such that both
GET and HEAD will preserve the method.

      runtime: fix corruption crash/race between select and stack growth · b902a63a
      Russ Cox authored 
      To implement the blocking of a select, a goroutine builds a list of
offers to communicate (pseudo-g's, aka sudog), one for each case,
queues them on the corresponding channels, and waits for another
goroutine to complete one of those cases and wake it up. Obviously it
is not OK for two other goroutines to complete multiple cases and both
wake the goroutine blocked in select. To make sure that only one
branch of the select is chosen, all the sudogs contain a pointer to a
shared (single) 'done uint32', which is atomically cas'ed by any
interested goroutines. The goroutine that wins the cas race gets to
wake up the select. A complication is that 'done uint32' is stored on
the stack of the goroutine running the select, and that stack can move
during the select due to stack growth or stack shrinking.

The relevant ordering to block and unblock in select is:

	1. Lock all channels.
	2. Create list of sudogs and queue sudogs on all channels.
	3. Switch to system stack, mark goroutine as asleep,
	   unlock all channels.
	4. Sleep until woken.
	5. Wake up on goroutine stack.
	6. Lock all channels.
	7. Dequeue sudogs from all channels.
	8. Free list of sudogs.
	9. Unlock all channels.

There are two kinds of stack moves: stack growth and stack shrinking.
Stack growth happens while the original goroutine is running.
Stack shrinking happens asynchronously, during garbage collection.

While a channel listing a sudog is locked by select in this process,
no other goroutine can attempt to complete communication on that
channel, because that other goroutine doesn't hold the lock and can't
find the sudog. If the stack moves while all the channel locks are
held or when the sudogs are not yet or no longer queued in the
channels, no problem, because no goroutine can get to the sudogs and
therefore to selectdone. We only need to worry about the stack (and
'done uint32') moving with the sudogs queued in unlocked channels.

Stack shrinking can happen any time the goroutine is stopped.
That code already acquires all the channel locks before doing the
stack move, so it avoids this problem.

Stack growth can happen essentially any time the original goroutine is
running on its own stack (not the system stack). In the first half of
the select, all the channels are locked before any sudogs are queued,
and the channels are not unlocked until the goroutine has stopped
executing on its own stack and is asleep, so that part is OK. In the
second half of the select, the goroutine wakes up on its own goroutine
stack and immediately locks all channels. But the actual call to lock
might grow the stack, before acquiring any locks. In that case, the
stack is moving with the sudogs queued in unlocked channels. Not good.
One goroutine has already won a cas on the old stack (that goroutine
woke up the selecting goroutine, moving it out of step 4), and the
fact that done = 1 now should prevent any other goroutines from
completing any other select cases. During the stack move, however,
sudog.selectdone is moved from pointing to the old done variable on
the old stack to a new memory location on the new stack. Another
goroutine might observe the moved pointer before the new memory
location has been initialized. If the new memory word happens to be
zero, that goroutine might win a cas on the new location, thinking it
can now complete the select (again). It will then complete a second
communication (reading from or writing to the goroutine stack
incorrectly) and then attempt to wake up the selecting goroutine,
which is already awake.

The scribbling over the goroutine stack unexpectedly is already bad,
but likely to go unnoticed, at least immediately. As for the second
wakeup, there are a variety of ways it might play out.

* The goroutine might not be asleep.
That will produce a runtime crash (throw) like in #17007:

	runtime: gp: gp=0xc0422dcb60, goid=2299, gp->atomicstatus=8
	runtime:  g:  g=0xa5cfe0, goid=0,  g->atomicstatus=0
	fatal error: bad g->status in ready

Here, atomicstatus=8 is copystack; the second, incorrect wakeup is
observing that the selecting goroutine is in state "Gcopystack"
instead of "Gwaiting".

* The goroutine might be sleeping in a send on a nil chan.
If it wakes up, it will crash with 'fatal error: unreachable'.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in a send on a non-nil chan.
If it wakes up, it will crash with 'fatal error: chansend:
spurious wakeup'.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in a receive on a nil chan.
If it wakes up, it will crash with 'fatal error: unreachable'.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in a receive on a non-nil chan.
If it wakes up, it will silently (incorrectly!) continue as if it
received a zero value from a closed channel, leaving a sudog queued on
the channel pointing at that zero vaue on the goroutine's stack; that
space will be reused as the goroutine executes, and when some other
goroutine finally completes the receive, it will do a stray write into
the goroutine's stack memory, which may cause problems. Then it will
attempt the real wakeup of the goroutine, leading recursively to any
of the cases in this list.

* The goroutine might have been running a select in a finalizer
(I hope not!) and might now be sleeping waiting for more things to
finalize. If it wakes up, as long as it goes back to sleep quickly
(before the real GC code tries to wake it), the spurious wakeup does
no harm (but the stack was still scribbled on).

* The goroutine might be sleeping in gcParkAssist.
If it wakes up, that will let the goroutine continue executing a bit
earlier than we would have liked. Eventually the GC will attempt the
real wakeup of the goroutine, leading recursively to any of the cases
in this list.

* The goroutine cannot be sleeping in bgsweep, because the background
sweepers never use select.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in netpollblock.
If it wakes up, it will crash with 'fatal error: netpollblock:
corrupted state'.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in main as another thread crashes.
If it wakes up, it will exit(0) instead of letting the other thread
crash with a non-zero exit status.

* The goroutine cannot be sleeping in forcegchelper,
because forcegchelper never uses select.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in an empty select - select {}.
If it wakes up, it will return to the next line in the program!

* The goroutine might be sleeping in a non-empty select (again).
In this case, it will wake up spuriously, with gp.param == nil (no
reason for wakeup), but that was fortuitously overloaded for handling
wakeup due to a closing channel and the way it is handled is to rerun
the select, which (accidentally) handles the spurious wakeup
correctly:

	if cas == nil {
		// This can happen if we were woken up by a close().
		// TODO: figure that out explicitly so we don't need this loop.
		goto loop
	}

Before looping, it will dequeue all the sudogs on all the channels
involved, so that no other goroutine will attempt to wake it.
Since the goroutine was blocked in select before, being blocked in
select again when the spurious wakeup arrives may be quite likely.
In this case, the spurious wakeup does no harm (but the stack was
still scribbled on).

* The goroutine might be sleeping in semacquire (mutex slow path).
If it wakes up, that is taken as a signal to try for the semaphore
again, not a signal that the semaphore is now held, but the next
iteration around the loop will queue the sudog a second time, causing
a cycle in the wakeup list for the given address. If that sudog is the
only one in the list, when it is eventually dequeued, it will
(due to the precise way the code is written) leave the sudog on the
queue inactive with the sudog broken. But the sudog will also be in
the free list, and that will eventually cause confusion.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in notifyListWait, for sync.Cond.
If it wakes up, (*Cond).Wait returns. The docs say "Unlike in other
systems, Wait cannot return unless awoken by Broadcast or Signal,"
so the spurious wakeup is incorrect behavior, but most callers do not
depend on that fact. Eventually the condition will happen, attempting
the real wakeup of the goroutine and leading recursively to any of the
cases in this list.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in timeSleep aka time.Sleep.
If it wakes up, it will continue running, leaving a timer ticking.
When that time bomb goes off, it will try to ready the goroutine
again, leading to any one of the cases in this list.

* The goroutine cannot be sleeping in timerproc,
because timerproc never uses select.

* The goroutine might be sleeping in ReadTrace.
If it wakes up, it will print 'runtime: spurious wakeup of trace
reader' and return nil. All future calls to ReadTrace will print
'runtime: ReadTrace called from multiple goroutines simultaneously'.
Eventually, when trace data is available, a true wakeup will be
attempted, leading to any one of the cases in this list.

None of these fatal errors appear in any of the trybot or dashboard
logs. The 'bad g->status in ready' that happens if the goroutine is
running (the most likely scenario anyway) has happened once on the
dashboard and eight times in trybot logs. Of the eight, five were
atomicstatus=8 during net/http tests, so almost certainly this bug.
The other three were atomicstatus=2, all near code in select,
but in a draft CL by Dmitry that was rewriting select and may or may
not have had its own bugs.

This bug has existed since Go 1.4. Until then the select code was
implemented in C, 'done uint32' was a C stack variable 'uint32 done',
and C stacks never moved. I believe it has become more common recently
because of Brad's work to run more and more tests in net/http in
parallel, which lengthens race windows.

The fix is to run step 6 on the system stack,
avoiding possibility of stack growth.

Fixes #17007 and possibly other mysterious failures.

      If one of the c.Get(ts.URL) results in an error, the child goroutine

so the test hangs and the program is eventually killed (after 10 minutes!).
Whatever might have been printed to t.Errorf is never seen.
Adjust test so that the test fails cleanly in this case.

Still trying to debug why c.Get might fail.
It seems to have something to do with occasional connection
failures on macOS Sierra.

      runtime: use 4K as the boundary of legal pointers · 7aefdfde
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently, the check for legal pointers in stack copying uses
_PageSize (8K) as the minimum legal pointer. By default, Linux won't
let you map under 64K, but

1) it's less clear what other OSes allow or will allow in the future;

2) while mapping the first page is a terrible idea, mapping anywhere
above that is arguably more justifiable;

3) the compiler only assumes the first physical page (4K) is never
mapped.

Make the runtime consistent with the compiler and more robust by
changing the bad pointer check to use 4K as the minimum legal pointer.

This came out of discussions on CLs 34663 and 34719.
