// Cgo call and callback support.
//
// To call into the C function f from Go, the cgo-generated code calls
// runtime.cgocall(_cgo_Cfunc_f, frame), where _cgo_Cfunc_f is a
// gcc-compiled function written by cgo.
//
// runtime.cgocall (below) calls entersyscall so as not to block
// other goroutines or the garbage collector, and then calls
// runtime.asmcgocall(_cgo_Cfunc_f, frame).
//
// runtime.asmcgocall (in asm_$GOARCH.s) switches to the m->g0 stack
// (assumed to be an operating system-allocated stack, so safe to run
// gcc-compiled code on) and calls _cgo_Cfunc_f(frame).
//
// _cgo_Cfunc_f invokes the actual C function f with arguments
// taken from the frame structure, records the results in the frame,
// and returns to runtime.asmcgocall.
//
// After it regains control, runtime.asmcgocall switches back to the
// original g (m->curg)'s stack and returns to runtime.cgocall.
//
// After it regains control, runtime.cgocall calls exitsyscall, which blocks
// until this m can run Go code without violating the $GOMAXPROCS limit,
// and then unlocks g from m.
//
// The above description skipped over the possibility of the gcc-compiled
// function f calling back into Go. If that happens, we continue down
// the rabbit hole during the execution of f.
//
// To make it possible for gcc-compiled C code to call a Go function p.GoF,
// cgo writes a gcc-compiled function named GoF (not p.GoF, since gcc doesn't
// know about packages).  The gcc-compiled C function f calls GoF.
//
// GoF initializes "frame", a structure containing all of its
// arguments and slots for p.GoF's results. It calls
// crosscall2(_cgoexp_GoF, frame, framesize, ctxt) using the gcc ABI.
//
// crosscall2 (in cgo/asm_$GOARCH.s) is a four-argument adapter from
// the gcc function call ABI to the gc function call ABI. At this
// point we're in the Go runtime, but we're still running on m.g0's
// stack and outside the $GOMAXPROCS limit. crosscall2 calls
// runtime.cgocallback(_cgoexp_GoF, frame, ctxt) using the gc ABI.
// (crosscall2's framesize argument is no longer used, but there's one
// case where SWIG calls crosscall2 directly and expects to pass this
// argument. See _cgo_panic.)
//
// runtime.cgocallback (in asm_$GOARCH.s) switches from m.g0's stack
// to the original g (m.curg)'s stack, on which it calls
// runtime.cgocallbackg(_cgoexp_GoF, frame, ctxt). As part of the
// stack switch, runtime.cgocallback saves the current SP as
// m.g0.sched.sp, so that any use of m.g0's stack during the execution
// of the callback will be done below the existing stack frames.
// Before overwriting m.g0.sched.sp, it pushes the old value on the
// m.g0 stack, so that it can be restored later.
//
// runtime.cgocallbackg (below) is now running on a real goroutine
// stack (not an m.g0 stack).  First it calls runtime.exitsyscall, which will
// block until the $GOMAXPROCS limit allows running this goroutine.
// Once exitsyscall has returned, it is safe to do things like call the memory
// allocator or invoke the Go callback function.  runtime.cgocallbackg
// first defers a function to unwind m.g0.sched.sp, so that if p.GoF
// panics, m.g0.sched.sp will be restored to its old value: the m.g0 stack
// and the m.curg stack will be unwound in lock step.
// Then it calls _cgoexp_GoF(frame).
//
// _cgoexp_GoF, which was generated by cmd/cgo, unpacks the arguments
// from frame, calls p.GoF, writes the results back to frame, and
// returns. Now we start unwinding this whole process.
//
// runtime.cgocallbackg pops but does not execute the deferred
// function to unwind m.g0.sched.sp, calls runtime.entersyscall, and
// returns to runtime.cgocallback.
//
// After it regains control, runtime.cgocallback switches back to
// m.g0's stack (the pointer is still in m.g0.sched.sp), restores the old
// m.g0.sched.sp value from the stack, and returns to crosscall2.
//
// crosscall2 restores the callee-save registers for gcc and returns
// to GoF, which unpacks any result values and returns to f.

// Pointer checking for cgo code.

// We want to detect all cases where a program that does not use
// unsafe makes a cgo call passing a Go pointer to memory that
// contains a Go pointer. Here a Go pointer is defined as a pointer
// to memory allocated by the Go runtime. Programs that use unsafe
// can evade this restriction easily, so we don't try to catch them.
// The cgo program will rewrite all possibly bad pointer arguments to
// call cgoCheckPointer, where we can catch cases of a Go pointer
// pointing to a Go pointer.

// Complicating matters, taking the address of a slice or array
// element permits the C program to access all elements of the slice
// or array. In that case we will see a pointer to a single element,
// but we need to check the entire data structure.

// The cgoCheckPointer call takes additional arguments indicating that
// it was called on an address expression. An additional argument of
// true means that it only needs to check a single element. An
// additional argument of a slice or array means that it needs to
// check the entire slice/array, but nothing else. Otherwise, the
// pointer could be anything, and we check the entire heap object,
// which is conservative but safe.

// When and if we implement a moving garbage collector,
// cgoCheckPointer will pin the pointer for the duration of the cgo
// call.  (This is necessary but not sufficient; the cgo program will
// also have to change to pin Go pointers that cannot point to Go
// pointers.)
