    runtime: add GODEBUG wbshadow for finding missing write barriers · dcec123a
    Russ Cox authored
    This is the detection code. It works well enough that I know of
    a handful of missing write barriers. However, those are subtle
    enough that I'll address them in separate followup CLs.
    
    GODEBUG=wbshadow=1 checks for a write that bypassed the
    write barrier at the next write barrier of the same word.
    If a bug can be detected in this mode it is typically easy to
    understand, since the crash says quite clearly what kind of
    word has missed a write barrier.
    
    GODEBUG=wbshadow=2 adds a check of the write barrier
    shadow copy during garbage collection. Bugs detected at
    garbage collection can be difficult to understand, because
    there is no context for what the found word means.
    Typically you have to reproduce the problem with allocfreetrace=1
    in order to understand the type of the badly updated word.
