      gc: correctly handle fields of pointer type to recursive forward references · b6f0632e
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored
      Previously, whether declaring a type which copied the structure of a type it was referenced in via a pointer field would work depended on whether you declared it before or after the type it copied, e.g. type T2 T1; type T1 struct { F *T2 } would work, however type T1 struct { F *T2 }; type T2 T1 wouldn't.
      
      Fixes #667.

      runtime: stack split + garbage collection bug · 370276a3
      Russ Cox authored
      The g->sched.sp saved stack pointer and the
      g->stackbase and g->stackguard stack bounds
      can change even while "the world is stopped",
      because a goroutine has to call functions (and
      therefore might split its stack) when exiting a
      system call to check whether the world is stopped
      (and if so, wait until the world continues).
      
      That means the garbage collector cannot access
      those values safely (without a race) for goroutines
      executing system calls.  Instead, save a consistent
      triple in g->gcsp, g->gcstack, g->gcguard during
      entersyscall and have the garbage collector refer
      to those.
      
      The old code was occasionally seeing (because of
      the race) an sp and stk that did not correspond to
      each other, so that stk - sp was not the number of
      stack bytes following sp.  In that case, if sp < stk
      then the call scanblock(sp, stk - sp) scanned too
      many bytes (anything between the two pointers,
      which pointed into different allocation blocks).
      If sp > stk then stk - sp wrapped around.
      On 32-bit, stk - sp is a uintptr (uint32) converted
      to int64 in the call to scanblock, so a large (~4G)
      but positive number.  Scanblock would try to scan
      that many bytes and eventually fault accessing
      unmapped memory.  On 64-bit, stk - sp is a uintptr (uint64)
      promoted to int64 in the call to scanblock, so a negative
      number.  Scanblock would not scan anything, possibly
      causing in-use blocks to be freed.
      
      In short, 32-bit platforms would have seen either
      ineffective garbage collection or crashes during garbage
      collection, while 64-bit platforms would have seen
      either ineffective or incorrect garbage collection.
      You can see the invalid arguments to scanblock in the
      stack traces in issue 1620.
      
      Fixes #1620.
      Fixes #1746.
