This is not a scheduler in the runtime, instead every goroutine is
mapped to a single OS thread - meaning 1:1 scheduling.
While this may not perform well (or at all) for large numbers of
threads, it greatly simplifies many things in the runtime. For example,
blocking syscalls can be called directly instead of having to use epoll
or similar. Also, we don't need to do anything special to call C code -
the default stack is all we need.
For example, with -gc=none and -gc=leaking, no heap needs to be
allocated when initializing the runtime. And some GCs (like -gc=custom)
are responsible for allocating the heap themselves.
This uses the task.PMutex parallel-only-mutex type to make the leaking
GC parallelism safe. The task.PMutex type is currently a no-op but will
become a real mutex once we add true parallelism.
Wasm linear memory is always initialized to zero by definition,
so there's no need to waste time zeroing out this allocation. This
is the case for freshly-obtained memory from mmap().

Instead of markGlobals calling markRoots unconditionally (which doesn't
make sense for -gc=none and -gc=leaking), provide markRoots as a
callback function.
This is in preparation for -gc=boehm, where the previous design is even
more awkward and a callback makes far more sense.
I've tested the size impact using `make smoketest XTENSA=0`. There is
none, except for two cases:
* One with `-opt=0` so const-propagation for the callback didn't take
place.
* One other on AVR, I don't know why but as it's only 16 bytes in a
very specific case I'm going to assume it's just a random change in
compiler output that caused a size difference.
Most of the code of the conservative GC can be reused for the precise
GC. So before adding precise GC support, this commit just moves code
around to make the next commit cleaner. It is a non-functional change.
We don't support these yet so let's just put them in a central location.
Once these functions are supported we can think about how to structure
the code again.
Go 1.19 started reformatting code in a way that makes it more obvious
how it will be rendered on pkg.go.dev. It gets it almost right, but not
entirely. Therefore, I had to modify some of the comments so that they
are formatted correctly.
Scan globals conservatively by reading writable sections from the PE
header.
I'd like to get rid of needing to precisely scan globals eventually, and
this brings us one step closer. It also avoids a bug with ThinLTO on
Windows.
Do it all at once in preparation for Go 1.18 support.
To make this commit, I've simply modified the `fmt-check` Makefile
target to rewrite files instead of listing the differences. So this is a
fully mechanical change, it should not have introduced any errors.
When using the latest wasi-libc I experienced a
panic on an attempt to call realloc. My first attempt to
add it to arch_tinygowasm.go was obviously not good (PR #2194). So here
is another suggestion.
This layout parameter is currently always nil and ignored, but will
eventually contain a pointer to a memory layout.
This commit also adds module verification to the transform tests, as I
found out that it didn't (and therefore didn't initially catch all
bugs).
heapptr is assinged to heapStart (which is 0) when it's declared, but preinit()
may have moved the heap somewhere else. Set heapptr to the proper value
of heapStart when we initialize the heap properly.
This allows the leaking allocator to work on unix.
On WebAssembly it is possible to grow the heap with the memory.grow
instruction. This commit implements this feature and with that also
removes the -heap-size flag that was reportedly broken (I haven't
verified that). This should make it easier to use TinyGo for
WebAssembly, where there was no good reason to use a fixed heap size.
This commit has no effect on baremetal targets with optimizations
enabled.
dumb -> leaking:
make it more clear what this "GC" does: leak everything.
marksweep -> conservative:
"marksweep" is too generic, use "conservative" to differentiate
between future garbage collectors: precise marksweep / mark-compact /
refcounting.
