rdon-key 0fe4c619eb runtime: prevent timer starvation in cores scheduler 2026-07-25 10:02:09 +02:00
Jake Bailey 16fc1ea2bb runtime: make fatal failures unrecoverable
Match the Go runtime by terminating for deadlocks, stack overflows,
runtime and GC invariants, invalid lock operations, and platform
initialization failures instead of routing them through panic/recover.

Keep language-level runtime errors and unsupported user operations
recoverable. Add crash coverage that verifies fatal errors bypass deferred
recover calls.

Jake Bailey 432ebe13ed runtime: make Goexit exit host threads
The threads scheduler handled runtime.Goexit using the generic deadlock
path, which parked the current pthread forever. Add a scheduler-specific
goexit hook so it can remove the current task and exit the pthread while
ordinary blocking deadlocks still block.

Track main goroutine Goexit so the last remaining goroutine reports the
expected deadlock instead of letting the process exit successfully.
Expand the crash coverage with the Goexit cases covered by Big Go's
runtime tests.

Ron Evans e569dcfe38 runtime: fix ticker not stopping when Stop races with its callback (#5487)
* runtime: fix ticker not stopping when Stop races with its callback

On the threads and cores schedulers, timer callbacks run concurrently
with user goroutines.

If Stop (or Reset) was called in the window after the node was popped
but before its callback re-added it, removeTimer would not find the
timer in the queue, so it would be re-added to timer anyway.

Track timers whose callback is currently running in a firing list, and
have removeTimer mark a firing timer as stopped so its callback does not
re-add it.

Also make the timers test drain robust: allow a possible in-flight tick
delivered concurrently with Stop to settle before draining the channel.

* runtime: fix Stop/Reset semantics when racing a firing timer callback

Address review feedback on the ticker Stop-race fix. On the threads and
cores schedulers a timer callback runs concurrently with user goroutines,
which left several problems:

- removeTimer reported a firing timer as successfully removed, so
  Stop/Reset could return true even though the callback had already
  started (wrong semantics, notably for AfterFunc). firingTimerStop now
  returns a bool and removeTimer no longer hands the still-firing node
  back to resetTimer.

- The periodic advance (when += period) ran in timerCallback outside the
  scheduler timer lock. Move it into each scheduler's reAddTimer, under
  the lock and after the stopped check, so a concurrent Reset can't have
  its freshly-queued deadline corrupted.

- resetTimer now sets when/period after removeTimer for the same reason.

Add testdata/timer_stop_reset_race.go and TestTimerStopResetRace, which
reproduce the stop-while-firing and reset-while-firing races via the
runtime timer linkname hooks.

deadprogram 82deccac40 runtime: call initRand() before initHeap() during initialization.
The reason is that allocating without a heap is usually more visible
than using an uninitialized random generator which is subtle and may
lead to security vulnerabilities.

Based on suggestion from @eliasnaur

Ayke van Laethem 5625f68d51 runtime: don't lock the print output inside interrupts
This should avoid a deadlock when trying to print inside an interrupt,
if the interrupted code is also printing (and therefore has the print
lock taken).

Ayke van Laethem f7d8502572 runtime: don't try to interrupt other cores before they are started
The GC shouldn't try to interrupt other cores before they are started.
For example, it would be possible for the GC to run in a package
initializer (which is currently run on a single core). That would
suggest questionable program design, but it is something that should
work. So this commit makes sure the GC only tries to scan the stack of
other cores when those other cores have in fact started.

Ayke van Laethem 60f8a62978 all: add support for multicore scheduler
This commit adds support for a scheduler that runs a scheduler on all
available cores. It is meant to be used on baremetal systems with a
fixed number of cores, such as the RP2040.

The initial implementation adds support for multicore scheduling to the
riscv-qemu target as a convenient testing target. This means that this
new multicore scheduler is tested in CI, including a bunch of standard
library tests (`make tinygo-test-baremetal`). This should ensure the new
scheduler is reasonably well tested before trying to use it on
harder-to-debug targets like the RP2040.
