runtime: perform write barriers on direct channel receive Currently we have write barriers for direct channel sends, where the receiver is blocked and the sender is writing directly to the receiver's stack; but not for direct channel receives, where the sender is blocked and the receiver is reading directly from the sender's stack. This was okay with the old write barrier because either 1) the receiver would write the received pointer into the heap (causing it to be shaded), 2) the pointer would still be on the receiver's stack at mark termination and we would rescan it, or 3) the receiver dropped the pointer so it wasn't necessarily reachable anyway. This is not okay with the write barrier because it lets a grey stack send a white pointer to a black stack and then remove it from its own stack. If the grey stack was the sole grey-protector of this pointer, this hides the object from the garbage collector. Fix this by making direct receives perform a stack-to-stack write barrier just like direct sends do. Fixes #17694.

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.
Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
