What did you do?
On a Sun workstation with an AMD Opteron(tm) 144 Processor running Debian, 1. Bootstrap the go compiler & toolchain (1.4, 1.17.13, 1.20.6) using build.bash 2. For the master branch, run all.bash
What did you see happen?
./all.bash | tee ~/build-output

What did you expect to see?
Inspired by issue #63872 , I've been trying to see if GOAMD64=v1 actually runs on baseline v1 hardware. I'm not necessarily arguing that the race detector needs to run on the oldest amd64 processor I can get my hands on, but if amd64 has a baseline set of required processor features, we should document it.

The race detector should run on v1 hardware. We even have a separate build of the race detector for that target (src/runtime/race/internal/amd64v1/*.syso).
It would be interesting to see what the bad instruction is. Try building a hello world program with the race detector and run it under a debugger.
(It probably isn't an instruction on the Go side, as we print more information when an illegal instruction trap happens while executing Go code.)
Does this same error happen for 1.22?

I am now running 1.22 downloaded from go.dev.

movddup is sse3, sure enough. Looks like we might have to rebuild the v1 syso. Not sure how that build failed to avoid disallowed instructions, but we'll look into it.

Comment From: randall77
Unfortunately, I think I have to take that back. Our race detector has never worked without sse3. At least, I see that sse3 was enabled around 2014. (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project commit 8744b1c1e3be0c7136c38fc9bc4d055aa58e105a) See #53743 So I don't think there is any coding to do here. Probably a doc update to list the higher requirement for the race detector is all we are going to be able to do.

Change https://go.dev/cl/595976 mentions this issue: mention higher arch requirement for amd64 race detector
