     5  // Garbage collector: write barriers.
     6  //
     7  // For the concurrent garbage collector, the Go compiler implements
     8  // updates to pointer-valued fields that may be in heap objects by
     9  // emitting calls to write barriers. The main write barrier for
    10  // individual pointer writes is gcWriteBarrier and is implemented in
    11  // assembly. This file contains write barrier entry points for bulk
    12  // operations. See also mwbbuf.go.

    21  // Go uses a hybrid barrier that combines a Yuasa-style deletion
    22  // barrier—which shades the object whose reference is being
    23  // overwritten—with Dijkstra insertion barrier—which shades the object
    24  // whose reference is being written. The insertion part of the barrier
    25  // is necessary while the calling goroutine's stack is grey. In
    26  // pseudocode, the barrier is:
    27  //
    28  //     writePointer(slot, ptr):
    29  //         shade(*slot)
    30  //         if current stack is grey:
    31  //             shade(ptr)
    32  //         *slot = ptr
    33  //
    34  // slot is the destination in Go code.
    35  // ptr is the value that goes into the slot in Go code.
    36  //
    37  // Shade indicates that it has seen a white pointer by adding the referent
    38  // to wbuf as well as marking it.
    39  //
    40  // The two shades and the condition work together to prevent a mutator
    41  // from hiding an object from the garbage collector:
    42  //
    43  // 1. shade(*slot) prevents a mutator from hiding an object by moving
    44  // the sole pointer to it from the heap to its stack. If it attempts
    45  // to unlink an object from the heap, this will shade it.
    46  //
    47  // 2. shade(ptr) prevents a mutator from hiding an object by moving
    48  // the sole pointer to it from its stack into a black object in the
    49  // heap. If it attempts to install the pointer into a black object,
    50  // this will shade it.
    51  //
    52  // 3. Once a goroutine's stack is black, the shade(ptr) becomes
    53  // unnecessary. shade(ptr) prevents hiding an object by moving it from
    54  // the stack to the heap, but this requires first having a pointer
    55  // hidden on the stack. Immediately after a stack is scanned, it only
    56  // points to shaded objects, so it's not hiding anything, and the
    57  // shade(*slot) prevents it from hiding any other pointers on its
    58  // stack.
    59  //
    60  // For a detailed description of this barrier and proof of
    61  // correctness, see https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/17503-eliminate-rescan.md
    62  //
    63  //
    64  //
    65  // Dealing with memory ordering:
    66  //
    67  // Both the Yuasa and Dijkstra barriers can be made conditional on the
    68  // color of the object containing the slot. We chose not to make these
    69  // conditional because the cost of ensuring that the object holding
    70  // the slot doesn't concurrently change color without the mutator
    71  // noticing seems prohibitive.
    72  //
    73  // Consider the following example where the mutator writes into
    74  // a slot and then loads the slot's mark bit while the GC thread
    75  // writes to the slot's mark bit and then as part of scanning reads
    76  // the slot.
    77  //
    78  // Initially both [slot] and [slotmark] are 0 (nil)
    79  // Mutator thread          GC thread
    80  // st [slot], ptr          st [slotmark], 1
    81  //
    82  // ld r1, [slotmark]       ld r2, [slot]
    83  //
    84  // Without an expensive memory barrier between the st and the ld, the final
    85  // result on most HW (including 386/amd64) can be r1==r2==0. This is a classic
    86  // example of what can happen when loads are allowed to be reordered with older
    87  // stores (avoiding such reorderings lies at the heart of the classic
    88  // Peterson/Dekker algorithms for mutual exclusion). Rather than require memory
    89  // barriers, which will slow down both the mutator and the GC, we always grey
    90  // the ptr object regardless of the slot's color.
    91  //
    92  // Another place where we intentionally omit memory barriers is when
    93  // accessing mheap_.arena_used to check if a pointer points into the
    94  // heap. On relaxed memory machines, it's possible for a mutator to
    95  // extend the size of the heap by updating arena_used, allocate an
    96  // object from this new region, and publish a pointer to that object,
    97  // but for tracing running on another processor to observe the pointer
    98  // but use the old value of arena_used. In this case, tracing will not
    99  // mark the object, even though it's reachable. However, the mutator
   100  // is guaranteed to execute a write barrier when it publishes the
   101  // pointer, so it will take care of marking the object. A general
   102  // consequence of this is that the garbage collector may cache the
   103  // value of mheap_.arena_used. (See issue #9984.)
   104  //
   105  //
   106  // Stack writes:
   107  //
   108  // The compiler omits write barriers for writes to the current frame,
   109  // but if a stack pointer has been passed down the call stack, the
   110  // compiler will generate a write barrier for writes through that
   111  // pointer (because it doesn't know it's not a heap pointer).
   112  //
   113  // One might be tempted to ignore the write barrier if slot points
   114  // into to the stack. Don't do it! Mark termination only re-scans
   115  // frames that have potentially been active since the concurrent scan,
   116  // so it depends on write barriers to track changes to pointers in
   117  // stack frames that have not been active.
   118  //
   119  //
   120  // Global writes:
   121  //
   122  // The Go garbage collector requires write barriers when heap pointers
   123  // are stored in globals. Many garbage collectors ignore writes to
   124  // globals and instead pick up global -> heap pointers during
   125  // termination. This increases pause time, so we instead rely on write
   126  // barriers for writes to globals so that we don't have to rescan
   127  // global during mark termination.
   128  //
   129  //
   130  // Publication ordering:
   131  //
   132  // The write barrier is *pre-publication*, meaning that the write
   133  // barrier happens prior to the *slot = ptr write that may make ptr
   134  // reachable by some goroutine that currently cannot reach it.
   135  //
   136  //
   137  // Signal handler pointer writes:
   138  //
   139  // In general, the signal handler cannot safely invoke the write
   140  // barrier because it may run without a P or even during the write
   141  // barrier.
   142  //
   143  // There is exactly one exception: profbuf.go omits a barrier during
   144  // signal handler profile logging. That's safe only because of the
   145  // deletion barrier. See profbuf.go for a detailed argument. If we
   146  // remove the deletion barrier, we'll have to work out a new way to
   147  // handle the profile logging.
