runtime: be very careful with bad pointer tests
Saw this on a test: runtime: bad pointer in frame runtime_test.testSetPanicOnFault at 0xc20801c6b0: 0xfff fatal error: bad pointer! runtime stack: ... copystack(0xc2081bf7a0, 0x1000) /root/work/solaris-amd64-smartos-2dde8b453d26/go/src/runtime/stack.c:621 +0x173 fp=0xfffffd7ffd5ffee0 sp=0xfffffd7ffd5ffe20 runtime.newstack() /root/work/solaris-amd64-smartos-2dde8b453d26/go/src/runtime/stack.c:774 +0x552 fp=0xfffffd7ffd5fff90 sp=0xfffffd7ffd5ffee0 runtime.morestack() /root/work/solaris-amd64-smartos-2dde8b453d26/go/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:324 +0x90 fp=0xfffffd7ffd5fff98 sp=0xfffffd7ffd5fff90 goroutine 163354 [stack growth]: ... runtime.convT2E(0x587000, 0xc20807bea8, 0x0, 0x0) /root/work/solaris-amd64-smartos-2dde8b453d26/go/src/runtime/iface.go:141 +0xd2 fp=0xc20801c678 sp=0xc20801c640 runtime_test.testSetPanicOnFault(0xc20822c510, 0xfff, 0xc20801c748) /root/work/solaris-amd64-smartos-2dde8b453d26/go/src/runtime/runtime_test.go:211 +0xc6 fp=0xc20801c718 sp=0xc20801c678 ... This test is testing bad pointers. It loads the bad pointer into a pointer variable, but before it gets a chance to dereference it, calls convT2E. That call causes a stack copy, which exposes that live but bad pointer variable. LGTM=dvyukov R=golang-codereviews, dvyukov CC=golang-codereviews https://golang.org/cl/146880043
