runtime: simplify reflectcall write barriers
Currently reflectcall has a subtle dance with write barriers where the
assembly code copies the result values from the stack to the in-heap
argument frame without write barriers and then calls into the runtime
after the fact to invoke the necessary write barriers.
For the hybrid barrier (and for ROC), we need to switch to a
*pre*-write write barrier, which is very difficult to do with the
current setup. We could tie ourselves in knots of subtle reasoning
about why it's okay in this particular case to have a post-write write
barrier, but this commit instead takes a different approach. Rather
than making things more complex, this simplifies reflection calls so
that the argument copy is done in Go using normal bulk write barriers.
The one difficulty with this approach is that calling into Go requires
putting arguments on the stack, but the call* functions "donate" their
entire stack frame to the called function. We can get away with this
now because the copy avoids using the stack and has copied the results
out before we clobber the stack frame to call into the write barrier.
The solution in this CL is to call another function, passing arguments
in registers instead of on the stack, and let that other function
reserve more stack space and setup the arguments for the runtime.
This approach seemed to work out the best. I also tried making the
call* functions reserve 32 extra bytes of frame for the write barrier
arguments and adjust SP up by 32 bytes around the call. However, even
with the necessary changes to the assembler to correct the spdelta
table, the runtime was still having trouble with the frame layout (and
the changes to the assembler caused many other things that do strange
things with the SP to fail to assemble). The approach I took doesn't
require any funny business with the SP.
Updates #17503.
