5 // Cgo call and callback support.
7 // To call into the C function f from Go, the cgo-generated code calls
8 // runtime.cgocall(_cgo_Cfunc_f, frame), where _cgo_Cfunc_f is a
9 // gcc-compiled function written by cgo.
11 // runtime.cgocall (below) calls entersyscall so as not to block
12 // other goroutines or the garbage collector, and then calls
13 // runtime.asmcgocall(_cgo_Cfunc_f, frame).
15 // runtime.asmcgocall (in asm_$GOARCH.s) switches to the m->g0 stack
16 // (assumed to be an operating system-allocated stack, so safe to run
17 // gcc-compiled code on) and calls _cgo_Cfunc_f(frame).
19 // _cgo_Cfunc_f invokes the actual C function f with arguments
20 // taken from the frame structure, records the results in the frame,
21 // and returns to runtime.asmcgocall.
23 // After it regains control, runtime.asmcgocall switches back to the
24 // original g (m->curg)'s stack and returns to runtime.cgocall.
26 // After it regains control, runtime.cgocall calls exitsyscall, which blocks
27 // until this m can run Go code without violating the $GOMAXPROCS limit,
28 // and then unlocks g from m.
30 // The above description skipped over the possibility of the gcc-compiled
31 // function f calling back into Go. If that happens, we continue down
32 // the rabbit hole during the execution of f.
34 // To make it possible for gcc-compiled C code to call a Go function p.GoF,
35 // cgo writes a gcc-compiled function named GoF (not p.GoF, since gcc doesn't
36 // know about packages). The gcc-compiled C function f calls GoF.
38 // GoF calls crosscall2(_cgoexp_GoF, frame, framesize). Crosscall2
39 // (in cgo/gcc_$GOARCH.S, a gcc-compiled assembly file) is a two-argument
40 // adapter from the gcc function call ABI to the 6c function call ABI.
41 // It is called from gcc to call 6c functions. In this case it calls
42 // _cgoexp_GoF(frame, framesize), still running on m->g0's stack
43 // and outside the $GOMAXPROCS limit. Thus, this code cannot yet
44 // call arbitrary Go code directly and must be careful not to allocate
45 // memory or use up m->g0's stack.
47 // _cgoexp_GoF calls runtime.cgocallback(p.GoF, frame, framesize, ctxt).
48 // (The reason for having _cgoexp_GoF instead of writing a crosscall3
49 // to make this call directly is that _cgoexp_GoF, because it is compiled
50 // with 6c instead of gcc, can refer to dotted names like
51 // runtime.cgocallback and p.GoF.)
53 // runtime.cgocallback (in asm_$GOARCH.s) switches from m->g0's
54 // stack to the original g (m->curg)'s stack, on which it calls
55 // runtime.cgocallbackg(p.GoF, frame, framesize).
56 // As part of the stack switch, runtime.cgocallback saves the current
57 // SP as m->g0->sched.sp, so that any use of m->g0's stack during the
58 // execution of the callback will be done below the existing stack frames.
59 // Before overwriting m->g0->sched.sp, it pushes the old value on the
60 // m->g0 stack, so that it can be restored later.
62 // runtime.cgocallbackg (below) is now running on a real goroutine
63 // stack (not an m->g0 stack). First it calls runtime.exitsyscall, which will
64 // block until the $GOMAXPROCS limit allows running this goroutine.
65 // Once exitsyscall has returned, it is safe to do things like call the memory
66 // allocator or invoke the Go callback function p.GoF. runtime.cgocallbackg
67 // first defers a function to unwind m->g0.sched.sp, so that if p.GoF
68 // panics, m->g0.sched.sp will be restored to its old value: the m->g0 stack
69 // and the m->curg stack will be unwound in lock step.
70 // Then it calls p.GoF. Finally it pops but does not execute the deferred
71 // function, calls runtime.entersyscall, and returns to runtime.cgocallback.
73 // After it regains control, runtime.cgocallback switches back to
74 // m->g0's stack (the pointer is still in m->g0.sched.sp), restores the old
75 // m->g0.sched.sp value from the stack, and returns to _cgoexp_GoF.
77 // _cgoexp_GoF immediately returns to crosscall2, which restores the
78 // callee-save registers for gcc and returns to GoF, which returns to f.
