On 32-bit architectures without native 64-bit atomic instructions, 64-bit atomics are emulated using spinlocks. However, the sigprof handling code expects to be able to perform 64-bit atomic operations in signal handlers. Spinning on an acquired spinlock in a signal handler leads to a livelock. This is issue #20146. The original fix for #20146 did not include arm in the list of architectures that need to work around portability issues in the sigprof handler code. The unit test designed to catch this issue does not fail on arm builds because arm uses striped spinlocks, and thus the livelock takes many minutes to reproduce. This is issue #24260. (This patch doesn't completely fix #24260 on go1.10.2 due to issue #25785, which is probably related to the arm cas kernel helpers. Those have been removed at tip.) With this patch applied, I was able to run the reproducer for issue #24260 for more than 90 minutes without reproducing the livelock. Without this patch, the livelock took as little as 8 minutes to reproduce.
