After CL 305829 (commit 3300390), the plan9/amd64 builder has been failing with this:

Building Go toolchain2 using go_bootstrap and Go toolchain1.
runtime: bad pointer in frame cmd/go/internal/load.loadImport at 0x281eec90: 0x2
fatal error: invalid pointer found on stack

See https://build.golang.org/log/62148fe37ac833f3b20c10296797908bca7a356c

It builds fine on my machine after I reverted the change.

Thanks.

The change in question seems fairly benign (since according to the Go ABI0 calling convention, any scratch register can be used in such situations).

Is there a plan9 expert who could advise me as to whether there this might be breaking some sort of Plan9 rule regarding register use?

Sorry, amd64 is outside my zone of expertise, and I don't have an amd64 Plan 9 machine to try to reproduce this on.

I wonder if there is anything in the _amd64.s files in the runtime which is touching that register?

That was the first thing I looked for. Can't see anything specific to plan9 there.

I'll poke around some more.

I can't seem to create a gomote to work on this problem -- maybe something is wrong with the builder?

Output from gomote create:

$ gomote create plan9-amd64-9front
# host type "host-plan9-amd64-0intro" is not elastic; 0 of 1 machines connected, 0 busy
# still creating plan9-amd64-9front after 5s; 0 requests ahead of you

Scheduler state doesn't seem to show anything else running:

@0intro, is this something you can help with? It is unlikely I'll be able to investigate this problem if I can't triage it via gomote/builder.

It should be fixed now. Please try again.

Thanks, yes, "gomote create" seems to have worked now.

How exactly do we run "make.bash" on our plan9 builders? I can't seem to see a copy of bash in any of the usual places (/bin/bash, /usr/local/bin/bash, etc). Thanks.

On Plan 9, it's called make.rc.

I fired up a copy of 9legacy 9k flavour of Plan 9 on an amd64 machine and I see the same error. So it's not specific to 9front.

The builder was historically called 9front, because it used to run 9front during a year approximately, but it has been running 9legacy 9k since October 2015.

Maybe time to rename it then?

Sure. I've just sent CL 307409.

plan9-amd64 builder seems to be hung on trybot/slowbot run... currently at 2 hours 21 mins. Maybe some sort of machine problem? Does it need to be rebooted?

cmd/compile/internal/amd64: follow-on regabi fix for amd64 zerorange
c26f954 
This patch provides a better long-term fix for the compiler's
zerorange() helper function to make it generate code friendly to the
register ABI.

CL 305829 did part of the work, but didn't properly handle the case
where the compiler emits a REP.STOSQ sequence; this patch changes the
REP code to make sure it doesn't clobber any incoming register
parameter values.

Also included is a test that is specifically written to trigger
the REP emit code in the compiler (prior to this, this code was
not being hit on linux/amd64 all.bash).

Updates #45372.
Updates #40724.
