             Bug #: 51874
           Summary: Many libgo testsuite failures on Solaris, IRIX
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: go
        AssignedTo: i...@airs.com
        ReportedBy: r...@gcc.gnu.org
              Host: i386-pc-solaris2.1[01], mips-sgi-irix6.5
            Target: i386-pc-solaris2.1[01], mips-sgi-irix6.5
             Build: i386-pc-solaris2.1[01], mips-sgi-irix6.5


Since the introduction of

runtime: Multiplex goroutines onto OS threads.

go and libgo testsuite results on Solaris and IRIX have become terrible to the
point that Go is unusable on both platforms:

* On Solaris 10 and 11/x86, all 64-bit libgo tests FAIL now, while the 32-bit
  tests are fine.  64-bit go.test results show several failures too:

FAIL: ./select5-out.go compilation,  -O2 -g 
FAIL: go.test/test/chan/doubleselect.go execution,  -O2 -g 
FAIL: go.test/test/chan/nonblock.go execution,  -O2 -g 
FAIL: go.test/test/chan/select2.go execution,  -O2 -g 
FAIL: go.test/test/chan/select3.go execution,  -O2 -g 
FAIL: go.test/test/mallocfin.go execution,  -O2 -g 
FAIL: go.test/test/stack.go execution,  -O2 -g 
WARNING: program timed out.
WARNING: program timed out.

* The situation on Solaris/SPARC is similar: about half of both 32-bit and
64-bit
  libgo tests FAIL.  The set of failing go.tests is also much larger than on
x86.

* On IRIX 6.5, all libgo tets FAIL, both 32 and 64-bit.  The set of failing
  go.test tests seems similar to the Solaris/SPARC case.

Initially, I've tried to investigate an existing 64-bit Solaris/x86 testcase
(mallocfin), but that proved to be difficult.

I've now found a far simpler one: an empty main.go fails if run with
GOMAXPROCS=2:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

I find that g->entry is NULL at the first kickstart call, while it has been
initialized to mainstart before.  I've not yet found how this happens.
