func sigprof(pc, sp, lr uintptr, gp *g, mp *m) {

// Profiling runs concurrently with GC, so it must not allocate.
mp.mallocing++
... lots of code ...
mp.mallocing--
}
A borrowed M may migrate between threads. Between the
atomic.Loaduintptr(&mp.thread) and the SuspendThread, mp may have
moved to a new thread, so that it's in active use. In particular
it might be calling malloc, as in the crash stack trace. If so, the
mp.mallocing++ in sigprof would provoke the crash.
Those lines are trying to guard against allocation during sigprof.
But on Windows, mp is the thread being traced, not the current
thread. Those lines should really be using getg().m.mallocing, which
is the same on Unix but not on Windows. With that change, it's
possible the race on the actual thread is not a problem: the traceback
would get confused and eventually return an error, but that's fine.
The code expects that possibility.
Fixes #17165.
