The cause is that when built with -buildmode=c-shared, the sigaction() of runtime/cgo_sigaction.go will call msanwrite() during libpreinit (before the runtime has set up a g). Unfortunately, on arm64, msancall() called by msanwrite() assumes that it is always called with a valid g, leading to a segfault.

I will submit the fixed CL, checking for nil g in msancall() on arm64.

/cc @bcmills and @ianlancetaylor who know much more about runtime/cgo than myself.

The suggested change sounds correct. That is what the amd64 code already does.

The change should be to msancall<> in runtime/msan_arm64.s.

@ianlancetaylor Yes, you are right. We need to check nil g to msancall() in runtime/msan_arm64.s. The fixed patch is ready and I will submit it. Thank you.
