Thanks to François Perrad and Stefan Pejic.
(cherry picked from commit ea7071d3c30b6432bfe6f8a9d263e0285cec25e3)
The patch fixes `xpcall()` segfaults on MIPS64 architecture.
The similar patch for ARM64 has been backported (with the test)
previously, see the commit af889e4608e6eca495dd85e6161d8bcd7d3628e6
("ARM64: Fix xpcall() error case (really).").

Thanks to Peter Cawley.
(cherry picked from commit d1a2fef8a8f53b0055ee041f7f63d83a27444ffa)
Stack overflow can cause a segmentation fault in a vararg
function on ARM64 and MIPS64 in LJ_FR2 mode. This happens
because the stack check in BC_IFUNCV is off by one on these
platforms without the patch. The original stack check
for ARM64 and MIPS64 was incorrect:
| RA == BASE + (RD=NARGS)*8 + framesize * 8 >= maxstack
while the stack check on x86_64 is correct and therefore is
not affected by the problem:
| RA == BASE + (RD=NARGS+1)*8 + framesize * 8 +8 > maxstack
The patch partially fixes the aforementioned issue by bumping
LJ_STACK_EXTRA by 1 to give a space to the entire frame link for a
vararg function as the __newindex metamethod.
A fixup for a number of required slots in `call_init()` was added
for consistency with non-GC64 flavor. The check is too strict, so
this can't lead to any crash.
This patch also corrects the number of redzone slots in
luajit-gdb.py to match the updated LJ_STACK_EXTRA and adds the test
<gh-1402-call_init-regression.test.lua> that will help to avoid
a regression in the future, see details in [1].

Hi, Sergey!
Thanks for the patch!
LGTM, after fixing my nits below.
Please add the iterational diff for the fixes.

Just mention details here like the following:
| The patch partially fixes the aforementioned issue by bumping
| LJ_STACK_EXTRA by 1 to give a space to the entire frame link for a
| vararg function as the __newindex metamethod.
|
| A fixup for a number of required slots in `call_init()` was added for

| comparing the corresponding checks in the VM BC_IFUNCV), so this can't
| lead to any crash. To avoid possible regression in the future the
| corresponding test is added.
|
| This patch also corrects the number of redzone slots in luajit-gdb.py
| and luajit_lldb.py to match the updated LJ_STACK_EXTRA.

Please, avoid _ in the file names, lets name it like:
lj-1402-vararg-stkov-check-gc64.test.lua
Same for the name of the test.

This is not about quite strict stack check. We need this to test the
behaviour of the LuaJIT while recording the vararg function. Let's
rephrase like the following:
| -- The test file to verify correctness of stack size check during
| -- recording of vararg functions.
The test file to verify correctness of stack size check during recording of vararg functions.

Let's use this comment before the vararg declaration.

Please add the following comment:

The pcall is excess lets do it without it:

Just mention 'no assertion failure' (this assertion isn't in the
`call_init()`, but during recording in `rec_check_slots()`).

Hi, Sergey!
Thanks for the patch!
Please, fix my comments below.
Don't forget to add the corresponding iterative changes.

Please add more verbose description:
| (cherry picked from commit a4c1640432a9d8a60624cdc8065b15078c228e36)
|
| The `pcall()` and `xpcall()` calls in GC64 mode require 2 slots. This
| means that all arguments should be moved up during emitting of the frame
| link to the stack. Hence, this may cause stack overflow without the
| corresponding check.
|
| This patch adds the corresponding checks to the VM. Non-GC64 VMs are
| updated as well for the consistency.

I've meant the following:
| t = setmetatable({}, { __call = xpcall })
| coroutine.wrap(function() t() end)()
But this won't work since the second amount of xpcall must be the
function. So, this test case is invalid. We must to duplicate the second
approach with `xpcall()`
This works fine.
