@mknyszek requested issue #61732 to be considered for backport to the next 1.21 minor release.

Ha, OK. Backport it is.

@gopherbot Please open a backport issue for Go 1.21. This issue causes significant debugger friction due to an issue that was latent in earlier releases but only really started cropping up in Go 1.21 due to a scheduler change in that release. The fix is very low risk, since it only impacts the debugger function call protocol, which should have no impact on production applications. The fix is also fairly small and straightforward.

[release-branch.go1.21] runtime: always lock OS thread in debugcall
0b6b0a2 
Right now debuggers like Delve rely on the new goroutine created to run
a debugcall function to run on the same thread it started on, up until
it hits itself with a SIGINT as part of the debugcall protocol.

That's all well and good, except debugCallWrap1 isn't particularly
careful about not growing the stack. For example, if the new goroutine
happens to have a stale preempt flag, then it's possible a stack growth
will cause a roundtrip into the scheduler, possibly causing the
goroutine to switch to another thread.

Previous attempts to just be more careful around debugCallWrap1 were
helpful, but insufficient. This change takes everything a step further
and always locks the debug call goroutine and the new goroutine it
creates to the OS thread.

For #61732.
Fixes #62509.
