    runtime: perform crashes outside systemstack · b1d1ec91
    Elias Naur authored
    CL 93658 moved stack trace printing inside a systemstack call to
    sidestep complexity in case the runtime is in a inconsistent state.
    
    Unfortunately, debuggers generating backtraces for a Go panic
    will be confused and come up with a technical correct but useless
    stack. This CL moves just the crash performing - typically a SIGABRT
    signal - outside the systemstack call to improve backtraces.
    
    Unfortunately, the crash function now needs to be marked nosplit and
    that triggers the no split stackoverflow check. To work around that,
    split fatalpanic in two: fatalthrow for runtime.throw and fatalpanic for
    runtime.gopanic. Only Go panics really needs crashes on the right stack
    and there is enough stack for gopanic.
    
    Example program:
    
    package main
    
    import "runtime/debug"
    
    func main() {
    	debug.SetTraceback("crash")
    	crash()
    }
    
    func crash() {
    	panic("panic!")
    }
