      cmd/6g: treat vardef-initialized fat variables as live at calls · 1afbceb5
      Russ Cox authored 
      This CL forces the optimizer to preserve some memory stores
that would be redundant except that a stack scan due to garbage
collection or stack copying might look at them during a function call.
As such, it forces additional memory writes and therefore slows
down the execution of some programs, especially garbage-heavy
programs that are already limited by memory bandwidth.

The slowdown can be as much as 7% for end-to-end benchmarks.

These numbers are from running go1.test -test.benchtime=5s three times,
taking the best (lowest) ns/op for each benchmark. I am excluding
benchmarks with time/op < 10us to focus on macro effects.
All benchmarks are on amd64.

Comparing tip (a27f34c771cb) against this CL on an Intel Core i5 MacBook Pro:

here are the same benchmarks comparing Go 1.2 to this CL.

      runtime: add zero field to rtype · aad4609c
      Ian Lance Taylor authored 
      The rtype struct is meant to be a copy of reflect.rtype.  The
zero field was added to reflect.rtype in 18495:6e50725ac753.

      cmd/gc: fix x=x crash · 89d46fed
      Russ Cox authored 
      [Same as CL 102820043 except applied changes to 6g/gsubr.c
also to 5g/gsubr.c and 8g/gsubr.c. The problem I had last night
trying to do that was that 8g's copy of nodarg has different
(but equivalent) control flow and I was pasting the new code
into the wrong place.]

Description from CL 102820043:

The 'nodarg' function is used to obtain a Node*
representing a function argument or result.
It returned a brand new Node*, but that violates
the guarantee in most places in the compiler that
two Node*s refer to the same variable if and only if
they are the same Node* pointer. Reestablish that
invariant by making nodarg return a preexisting
named variable if present.

Having fixed that, avoid any copy during x=x in
componentgen, because the VARDEF we emit
before the copy marks the lhs x as dead incorrectly.

The change in walk.c avoids modifying the result
of nodarg. This was the only place in the compiler
that did so.

Fixes #8097.

      undo CL 102820043 / b0ce6dbafc18 · 9dd062b8
      Russ Cox authored 
      Breaks 386 and arm builds.
The obvious reason is that this CL only edited 6g/gsubr.c
and failed to edit 5g/gsubr.c and 8g/gsubr.c.
However, the obvious CL applying the same edit to those
files (CL 101900043) causes mysterious build failures
in various of the standard package tests, usually involving
reflect. Something deep and subtle is broken but only on
the 32-bit systems.

Undo this CL for now.
