This can be reproduced with
https://gist.github.com/chipaca/806c90d96c437444f27f45a83d00a813

With that, and go 1.8, if you run “make” and then

for i in `seq 99`; do ./a_go; done

you'll see a variable number of ”GOT 1000” (or whatever your user id is). If you don't, add one or two more 9s on there.

That's a simple go reproducer. You can also use “a_p” instead of “a_go” to see one that only uses pthreads. “a_c” is a C version that does *not* reproduce the issue.

But it's not pthreads: if in a_go.go you comment out the “import "C"”, you'll still see the “GOT 1000” messages, in a static binary that uses no pthreads, just clone(2). You'll also see a bunch of warnings because it's not properly handling an EAGAIN from clone, but that's unrelated.

If you pin the process to a single thread using taskset, you don't get the issue from a_go; a_p continues to reproduce the issue. In some virtualized environments we haven't been able to reproduce the issue either (e.g. some aws instances), but kvm works (you need -smp to see the issue from a_go).
