What steps will reproduce the problem?

Sorry! I have not been able to make a small & reproducible example. See additional
information below.

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?

Golang 1.2, downloaded and compiled by Homebrew

Which operating system are you using?

OSX Mavericks, Darwin 13.0 64-bit

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')

go version go1.2 darwin/amd64

Please provide any additional information below.

In the middle of debugging a performance issue in my project tiedot, I turned on CPU
profiling (runtime/pprof), and the segmentation fault happens at a very small chance.
The stack trace of fault is:

SIGSEGV: segmentation violation
PC=0x1e382

Comment 1:

It seems that a thread is woken w/o m->nextp. If it can happen, then it would crash with
the same stack trace. But I have not seen such crashes before. It's possible that it
crashes with a very low probability.
It seems to be an open-source project. Can you provide reproduction instructions?

Labels changed: added release-go1.3maybe, repo-main.

Thanks Dmitry. I will soon try my best to make a minimized reproducible.

Comment 3:

To make it clear, I do not care too much about size of the involved code base. Do if can
just provide commands that I need to execute and necessary input data (if any), that
would be enough for starters.

Comment 5 by guohouzuo:

Hello Dmitry.
Please clone tiedot "segfault" branch:
    https://github.com/HouzuoGuo/tiedot/tree/segfault
And compile it as per usual:
    go build
To trigger the segfault, run the compiled executable with flag -bench3:
    ./tiedot -bench3
Clean up happens automatically before each run, so no manual cleanup is required.
It almost always completes successfully, but the segfault happens every 40 or 50 runs.
I attach another segfault goroutine trace.
Thanks!

Comment 6:

I don't know whether I guessed how to do these steps correctly or not. My checkout seems
to be on segfault:
gopath/src/github.com/HouzuoGuo/tiedot$ git status
On branch segfault
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/segfault'.
But the binary does not recognize -bench3:
$ ./tiedot -bench3
flag provided but not defined: -bench3
Usage of ./tiedot:

Comment 7 by guohouzuo:

Oops, my apologize, I was supposed to say:
    ./tiedot -mode=bench3

dvyukov · 2014-01-10T11:41:41Z

Comment 8:

Can run it now. No crashes yet.
You've said that if happens only if you enable CPU profiling. Do I need to do anything
special to enable it? Or it is enabled by default?

dvyukov · 2014-01-10T12:05:27Z

Comment 9:

When I run it, it consumes 50+GB of memory. Is it possible to limit amount of memory it
consumes?

gopherbot · 2014-01-10T13:40:22Z

Comment 10 by guohouzuo:

Hello Dmitry.
CPU profile is already enabled in the code, see line 296 in benchmark.go.
It sounds very unusual to consume 50+GB of memory. On my system, the peak resident
memory usage is around 2GB.
Out of curiosity, are you running tiedot on a OSX system?

Ah, OK, I see. However note that CPU profiling was disabled on OSX in Go 1.2... So I am
not sure how it affects the issue...
> It sounds very unusual to consume 50+GB of memory. On my system, the peak resident

No, that was linux 64-bit. I wanted to see whether it reproduces there.
I was able to reproduce it on tip on OSX so far.

I suspect it may be related to 
https://golang.org/issue/5139

Comment 14 by guohouzuo:

Thanks Dmitry.
So... the performance output has been inaccurate and useless hahaha. I have tried very
hard to optimise tiedot according to the output!

gopherbot · 2014-01-12T16:48:35Z

Comment 15 by guohouzuo:

By the way, it never crashes with segfault with CPU profiling turned off... at least it
hasn't happened to me.

dvyukov · 2014-01-12T16:54:20Z

Comment 16:

How many times have you seen it? Have you seen any other crashes, like "notewakeup -
double wakeup"?

gopherbot · 2014-01-12T16:55:58Z

Comment 17 by guohouzuo:

Double wakup has never happened to me.
The segfault has happened three times so far - twice before I submitted the bug report,
and once when I cut the branch to reproduce it.

dvyukov · 2014-01-14T16:06:45Z

Comment 18:

I've sent:
https://golang.org/cl/52090045
that fixes a very obscure data race in runtime. It can be potentially the cause of the
crashes you see. Difficult to say.

dvyukov · 2014-01-15T15:41:09Z

Comment 19:

https://golang.org/cl/52090045/
is submitted and it may fix the issue
I've tried to reproduce it several days on several machines, but reproduced only once
and w/o and special debugging output...

Comment 20 by guohouzuo:

Thanks very much Dmitry. Shall I compile Go with the patch and try again?

dvyukov · 2014-01-16T03:14:59Z

Comment 21:

It would be great if you can confirm whether it's fixed or not.
The patch is already submitted, so you need to checkout tip version of Go and build.

my apologize for the late reply. i shall compile go1.2 with the patch and give it a spin
this weekend.

Comment 24 by guohouzuo:

Hello Dmitry.
Thanks very much for the fix! I compiled Go 1.2 with the patch, and ran the program 100
times in a loop, the bug has disappeared.

dvyukov · 2014-02-16T10:00:50Z

Thanks!
