Currently, we dropg (which clears gp.m) after we CAS the g status
to _Grunnable or _Gwaiting. Immediately after CASing the g status,
another thread may CAS it to _Gscan status and scan its stack.
With precise stack scan, it accesses gp.m in order to switch to g
and back (in doscanstackswitch). This races with dropg. If
doscanstackswitch reads gp.m, then dropg runs, when we restore
the m at the end of the scan it will set to a stale value. Worse,
if dropg runs after doscanstackswitch sets the new m, gp will be
running with a nil m.
To fix this, we do dropg before CAS g status to _Grunnable or
_Gwaiting. We can do this safely if we are CASing from _Grunning,
as we own the g when it is in _Grunning. There is one case where
we CAS from _Gsyscall to _Grunnable. It is not safe to dropg when
it is in _Gsyscall, as precise stack scan needs to read gp.m in
order to signal the m. So we need to introduce a transient state,
_Gexitingsyscall, between _Gsyscall and _Grunnable, where the GC
should not scan its stack.
In is a little unfortunate that we have to add another g status.
We could reuse an existing one (e.g. _Gcopystack), but it is
clearer and safer to just use a new one, as Austin suggested.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
