Ian Lance Taylor f41bf58736 runtime: dropg before CAS g status to _Grunnable/_Gwaiting
Currently, we dropg (which clears gp.m) after we CAS the g status
    to _Grunnable or _Gwaiting. Immediately after CASing the g status,
    another thread may CAS it to _Gscan status and scan its stack.
    With precise stack scan, it accesses gp.m in order to switch to g
    and back (in doscanstackswitch). This races with dropg. If
    doscanstackswitch reads gp.m, then dropg runs, when we restore
    the m at the end of the scan it will set to a stale value. Worse,
    if dropg runs after doscanstackswitch sets the new m, gp will be
    running with a nil m.
    
    To fix this, we do dropg before CAS g status to _Grunnable or
    _Gwaiting. We can do this safely if we are CASing from _Grunning,
    as we own the g when it is in _Grunning. There is one case where
    we CAS from _Gsyscall to _Grunnable. It is not safe to dropg when
    it is in _Gsyscall, as precise stack scan needs to read gp.m in
    order to signal the m. So we need to introduce a transient state,
    _Gexitingsyscall, between _Gsyscall and _Grunnable, where the GC
    should not scan its stack.
    
    In is a little unfortunate that we have to add another g status.
    We could reuse an existing one (e.g. _Gcopystack), but it is
    clearer and safer to just use a new one, as Austin suggested.

See ../README.

This is the runtime support library for the Go programming language.
This library is intended for use with the Go frontend.

This library should not be stripped when it is installed.  Go code
relies on being able to look up file/line information, which comes
from the debugging info using the libbacktrace library.

The library has only been tested on GNU/Linux using glibc, and on
Solaris.  It should not be difficult to port to other operating
systems.

Directories:

go
  A copy of the Go library from http://golang.org/, with several
  changes for gccgo.

runtime
  Runtime functions, written in C, which are called directly by the
  compiler or by the library.
