// Garbage collector: write barriers.
//
// For the concurrent garbage collector, the Go compiler implements
// updates to pointer-valued fields that may be in heap objects by
// emitting calls to write barriers. This file contains the actual write barrier
// implementation, markwb, and the various wrappers called by the
// compiler to implement pointer assignment, slice assignment,
// typed memmove, and so on.

// markwb is the mark-phase write barrier, the only barrier we have.
// The rest of this file exists only to make calls to this function.
//
// This is the Dijkstra barrier coarsened to always shade the ptr (dst) object.
// The original Dijkstra barrier only shaded ptrs being placed in black slots.
//
// Shade indicates that it has seen a white pointer by adding the referent
// to wbuf as well as marking it.
//
// slot is the destination (dst) in go code
// ptr is the value that goes into the slot (src) in the go code
//
//
// Dealing with memory ordering:
//
// Dijkstra pointed out that maintaining the no black to white
// pointers means that white to white pointers do not need
// to be noted by the write barrier. Furthermore if either
// white object dies before it is reached by the
// GC then the object can be collected during this GC cycle
// instead of waiting for the next cycle. Unfortunately the cost of
// ensuring that the object holding the slot doesn't concurrently
// change to black without the mutator noticing seems prohibitive.
//
// Consider the following example where the mutator writes into
// a slot and then loads the slot's mark bit while the GC thread
// writes to the slot's mark bit and then as part of scanning reads
// the slot.
//
// Initially both [slot] and [slotmark] are 0 (nil)
// Mutator thread          GC thread
// st [slot], ptr          st [slotmark], 1
//
// ld r1, [slotmark]       ld r2, [slot]
//
// Without an expensive memory barrier between the st and the ld, the final
// result on most HW (including 386/amd64) can be r1==r2==0. This is a classic
// example of what can happen when loads are allowed to be reordered with older
// stores (avoiding such reorderings lies at the heart of the classic
// Peterson/Dekker algorithms for mutual exclusion). Rather than require memory
// barriers, which will slow down both the mutator and the GC, we always grey
// the ptr object regardless of the slot's color.
//
// Another place where we intentionally omit memory barriers is when
// accessing mheap_.arena_used to check if a pointer points into the
// heap. On relaxed memory machines, it's possible for a mutator to
// extend the size of the heap by updating arena_used, allocate an
// object from this new region, and publish a pointer to that object,
// but for tracing running on another processor to observe the pointer
// but use the old value of arena_used. In this case, tracing will not
// mark the object, even though it's reachable. However, the mutator
// is guaranteed to execute a write barrier when it publishes the
// pointer, so it will take care of marking the object. A general
// consequence of this is that the garbage collector may cache the
// value of mheap_.arena_used. (See issue #9984.)
//
//
// Stack writes:
//
// The compiler omits write barriers for writes to the current frame,
// but if a stack pointer has been passed down the call stack, the
// compiler will generate a write barrier for writes through that
// pointer (because it doesn't know it's not a heap pointer).
//
// One might be tempted to ignore the write barrier if slot points
// into to the stack. Don't do it! Mark termination only re-scans
// frames that have potentially been active since the concurrent scan,
// so it depends on write barriers to track changes to pointers in
// stack frames that have not been active.
//
//
// Global writes:
//
// The Go garbage collector requires write barriers when heap pointers
// are stored in globals. Many garbage collectors ignore writes to
// globals and instead pick up global -> heap pointers during
// termination. This increases pause time, so we instead rely on write
// barriers for writes to globals so that we don't have to rescan
// global during mark termination.
