[release-branch.go1.24] cmd/compile: do nil check before calling duff functions, on arm64 and amd64
On these platforms, we set up a frame pointer record below
the current stack pointer, so when we're in duffcopy or duffzero,
we get a reasonable traceback. See #73753.
But because this frame pointer record is below SP, it is vulnerable.
Anything that adds a new stack frame to the stack might clobber it.
Which actually happens in #73748 on amd64. I have not yet come across
a repro on arm64, but might as well be safe here.
The only real situation this could happen is when duffzero or duffcopy
is passed a nil pointer. So we can just avoid the problem by doing the
nil check outside duffzero/duffcopy. That way we never add a frame
below duffzero/duffcopy. (Most other ways to get a new frame below the
current one, like async preempt or debugger-generated calls, don't
apply to duffzero/duffcopy because they are runtime functions; we're
not allowed to preempt there.)
Longer term, we should stop putting stuff below SP. #73753 will
include that as part of its remit. But that's not for 1.25, so we'll
do the simple thing for 1.25 for this issue.
Fixes #73908
