The following crash has started to appear when running Android apps with Go tip:

I believe the crash is caused by an invalid g returned from getg, called from sigaction. At the time libpreinit is called, TLS hasn't been set up yet (it is set up later in rt0_go).

This started to appear after my fixes for #29674 but I believe it's been a latent bug for a long time. We've just been lucky that the static TLS slot previously used for accessing g on android/amd64 and android/386 always contained 0.

The cause is clear but the fix isn't obvious to me. Please advice, @cherrymui @ianlancetaylor .

I assume that the problem is the call to getg in the version of sigaction in runtime/cgo_sigaction.go? I think the fix would be something like

    var g *g
    if mainStarted {
        g = getg()
    }
