4a0ba7aa17 net: use Go's DNS resolver when system configuration permits
If the machine's network configuration files (resolv.conf,
nsswitch.conf) don't have any unsupported options, prefer Go's DNS
resolver, which doesn't have the cgo & thread over.

It means users can have more than 500 DNS requests outstanding (our
current limit for cgo lookups) and not have one blocked thread per
outstanding request.

edc53e1f14 runtime: fix build after CL 9164 on Linux
There is an assumption that the function executed in child thread
created by runtime.close should not return. And different systems
enforce that differently: some exit that thread, some exit the
whole process.

The test TestNewOSProc0 introduced in CL 9161 breaks that assumption,
so we need to adjust the code to only exit the thread should the
called function return.

4655aadd00 runtime: use reachable heap estimate to set trigger/goal
Currently, we set the heap goal for the next GC cycle using the size
of the marked heap at the end of the current cycle. This can lead to a
bad feedback loop if the mutator is rapidly allocating and releasing
pointers that can significantly bloat heap size.

If the GC were STW, the marked heap size would be exactly the
reachable heap size (call it stwLive). However, in concurrent GC,
marked=stwLive+floatLive, where floatLive is the amount of "floating
garbage": objects that were reachable at some point during the cycle
and were marked, but which are no longer reachable by the end of the
cycle. If the GC cycle is short, then the mutator doesn't have much
time to create floating garbage, so marked≈stwLive. However, if the GC
cycle is long and the mutator is allocating and creating floating
garbage very rapidly, then it's possible that marked≫stwLive. Since
the runtime currently sets the heap goal based on marked, this will
cause it to set a high heap goal. This means that 1) the next GC cycle
will take longer because of the larger heap and 2) the assist ratio
will be low because of the large distance between the trigger and the
goal. The combination of these lets the mutator produce even more
floating garbage in the next cycle, which further exacerbates the
problem.

For example, on the garbage benchmark with GOMAXPROCS=1, this causes
the heap to grow to ~500MB and the garbage collector to retain upwards
of ~300MB of heap, while the true reachable heap size is ~32MB. This,
in turn, causes the GC cycle to take upwards of ~3 seconds.

Fix this bad feedback loop by estimating the true reachable heap size
(stwLive) and using this rather than the marked heap size
(stwLive+floatLive) as the basis for the GC trigger and heap goal.
This breaks the bad feedback loop and causes the mutator to assist
more, which decreases the rate at which it can create floating
garbage. On the same garbage benchmark, this reduces the maximum heap
size to ~73MB, the retained heap to ~40MB, and the duration of the GC
cycle to ~200ms.

wall-clock time that's passed since concurrent mark began. Since this
delta is nanoseconds it's borderline impossible for it to be zero, but
if it is zero we'll currently divide by zero. Be robust to this
possibility by ignoring the utilization in the error term if no time
has elapsed.

7820d27049 cmd/internal/gc, cmd/internal/ld: fixes for global vars of types from other modules
To make the gcprog for global data containing variables of types defined in other shared
libraries, we need to know a lot about those types. So read the value of any symbol with
a name starting with "type.". If a type uses a mask, the name of the symbol defining the
mask unfortunately cannot be predicted from the type name so I have to keep track of the
addresses of every such symbol and associate them with the type symbols after the fact.

I'm not very happy about this change, but something like this is needed and this is as
pleasant as I know how to make it.

af161c577c cmd/go: depend on runtime/cgo if external linking mode is forced
In external linking mode, the linker automatically imports
runtime/cgo.  When the user uses non-standard compilation options,
they have to know to run go install runtime/cgo.  When the go tool
adds non-standard compilation options itself, we can't force the user
to do that.  So add the dependency ourselves.

Bad news: we don't currently have a clean way to know whether we are
going to use external linking mode.  This CL duplicates logic split
between cmd/6l and cmd/internal/ld.

Good news: adding an unnecessary dependency on runtime/cgo does no
real harm.  We aren't going to force the linker to pull it in, we're
just going to build it so that its available if the linker wants it.

170fb10089 runtime: assist harder if GC exceeds the estimated marked heap
Currently, the GC controller computes the mutator assist ratio at the
beginning of the cycle by estimating that the marked heap size this
cycle will be the same as it was the previous cycle. It then uses that
assist ratio for the rest of the cycle. However, this means that if
the mutator is quickly growing its reachable heap, the heap size is
likely to exceed the heap goal and currently there's no additional
pressure on mutator assists when this happens. For example, 6g (with
GOMAXPROCS=1) frequently exceeds the goal heap size by ~25% because of
this.

This change makes GC revise its work estimate and the resulting assist
ratio every 10ms during the concurrent mark. Instead of
unconditionally using the marked heap size from the last cycle as an
estimate for this cycle, it takes the minimum of the previously marked
heap and the currently marked heap. As a result, as the cycle
approaches or exceeds its heap goal, this will increase the assist
ratio to put more pressure on the mutator assist to bring the cycle to
an end. For 6g, this causes the GC to always finish within 5% and
often within 1% of its heap goal.

e0c3d85f08 runtime: fix background marking at 25% utilization
Currently, in accordance with the GC pacing proposal, we schedule
background marking with a goal of achieving 25% utilization *total*
between mutator assists and background marking. This is stricter than
was set out in the Go 1.5 proposal, which suggests that the garbage
collector can use 25% just for itself and anything the mutator does to
help out is on top of that. It also has several technical
drawbacks. Because mutator assist time is constantly changing and we
can't have instantaneous information on background marking time, it
effectively requires hitting a moving target based on out-of-date
information. This works out in the long run, but works poorly for
short GC cycles and on short time scales. Also, this requires
time-multiplexing all Ps between the mutator and background GC since
the goal utilization of background GC constantly fluctuates. This
results in a complicated scheduling algorithm, poor affinity, and
extra overheads from context switching.

This change modifies the way we schedule and run background marking so
that background marking always consumes 25% of GOMAXPROCS and mutator
assist is in addition to this. This enables a much more robust
scheduling algorithm where we pre-determine the number of Ps we should
dedicate to background marking as well as the utilization goal for a
single floating "remainder" mark worker.

24a7252e25 runtime: finish sweeping before concurrent GC starts
Currently, the concurrent sweep follows a 1:1 rule: when allocation
needs a span, it sweeps a span (likewise, when a large allocation
needs N pages, it sweeps until it frees N pages). This rule worked
well for the STW collector (especially when GOGC==100) because it did
no more sweeping than necessary to keep the heap from growing, would
generally finish sweeping just before GC, and ensured good temporal
locality between sweeping a page and allocating from it.

It doesn't work well with concurrent GC. Since concurrent GC requires
starting GC earlier (sometimes much earlier), the sweep often won't be
done when GC starts. Unfortunately, the first thing GC has to do is
finish the sweep. In the mean time, the mutator can continue
allocating, pushing the heap size even closer to the goal size. This
worked okay with the 7/8ths trigger, but it gets into a vicious cycle
with the GC trigger controller: if the mutator is allocating quickly
and driving the trigger lower, more and more sweep work will be left
to GC; this both causes GC to take longer (allowing the mutator to
allocate more during GC) and delays the start of the concurrent mark
phase, which throws off the GC controller's statistics and generally
causes it to push the trigger even lower.

As an example of a particularly bad case, the garbage benchmark with
GOMAXPROCS=4 and -benchmem 512 (MB) spends the first 0.4-0.8 seconds
of each GC cycle sweeping, during which the heap grows by between
109MB and 252MB.

To fix this, this change replaces the 1:1 sweep rule with a
proportional sweep rule. At the end of GC, GC knows exactly how much
heap allocation will occur before the next concurrent GC as well as
how many span pages must be swept. This change computes this "sweep
ratio" and when the mallocgc asks for a span, the mcentral sweeps
enough spans to bring the swept span count into ratio with the
allocated byte count.

On the benchmark from above, this entirely eliminates sweeping at the
beginning of GC, which reduces the time between startGC readying the
GC goroutine and GC stopping the world for sweep termination to ~100µs
during which the heap grows at most 134KB.

a0452a6821 runtime: proportional response GC trigger controller
Currently, concurrent GC triggers at a fixed 7/8*GOGC heap growth. For
mutators that allocate slowly, this means GC will trigger too early
and run too often, wasting CPU time on GC. For mutators that allocate
quickly, this means GC will trigger too late, causing the program to
exceed the GOGC heap growth goal and/or to exceed CPU goals because of
a high mutator assist ratio.

This change adds a feedback control loop to dynamically adjust the GC
trigger from cycle to cycle. By monitoring the heap growth and GC CPU
utilization from cycle to cycle, this adjusts the Go garbage collector
to target the GOGC heap growth goal and the 25% CPU utilization goal.

8d03acce54 runtime: multi-threaded, utilization-scheduled background mark
Currently, the concurrent mark phase is performed by the main GC
goroutine. Prior to the previous commit enabling preemption, this
caused marking to always consume 1/GOMAXPROCS of the available CPU
time. If GOMAXPROCS=1, this meant background GC would consume 100% of
the CPU (effectively a STW). If GOMAXPROCS>4, background GC would use
less than the goal of 25%. If GOMAXPROCS=4, background GC would use
the goal 25%, but if the mutator wasn't using the remaining 75%,
background marking wouldn't take advantage of the idle time. Enabling
preemption in the previous commit made GC miss CPU targets in
completely different ways, but set us up to bring everything back in
line.

This change replaces the fixed GC goroutine with per-P background mark
goroutines. Once started, these goroutines don't go in the standard
run queues; instead, they are scheduled specially such that the time
spent in mutator assists and the background mark goroutines totals 25%
of the CPU time available to the program. Furthermore, this lets
background marking take advantage of idle Ps, which significantly
boosts GC performance for applications that under-utilize the CPU.

This requires also changing how time is reported for gctrace, so this
change splits the concurrent mark CPU time into assist/background/idle
scanning.

This also requires increasing the size of the StackRecord slice used
in a GoroutineProfile test.

af060c3086 runtime: generally allow preemption during concurrent GC phases
Currently, the entire GC process runs with g.m.preemptoff set. In the
concurrent phases, the parts that actually need preemption disabled
are run on a system stack and there's no overall need to stay on the
same M or P during the concurrent phases. Hence, move the setting of
g.m.preemptoff to when we start mark termination, at which point we
really do need preemption disabled.

This dramatically changes the scheduling behavior of the concurrent
mark phase. Currently, since this is non-preemptible, concurrent mark
gets one dedicated P (so 1/GOMAXPROCS utilization). With this change,
the GC goroutine is scheduled like any other goroutine during
concurrent mark, so it gets 1/<runnable goroutines> utilization.

You might think it's not even necessary to set g.m.preemptoff at that
point since the world is stopped, but stackalloc/stackfree use this as
a signal that the per-P pools are not safe to access without
synchronization.

4b2fde945a runtime: proportional mutator assist
Currently, mutator allocation periodically assists the garbage
collector by performing a small, fixed amount of scanning work.
However, to control heap growth, mutators need to perform scanning
work *proportional* to their allocation rate.

This change implements proportional mutator assists. This uses the
scan work estimate computed by the garbage collector at the beginning
of each cycle to compute how much scan work must be performed per
allocation byte to complete the estimated scan work by the time the
heap reaches the goal size. When allocation triggers an assist, it
uses this ratio and the amount allocated since the last assist to
compute the assist work, then attempts to steal as much of this work
as possible from the background collector's credit, and then performs
any remaining scan work itself.

028f972847 runtime: make gcDrainN in terms of scan work
Currently, the "n" in gcDrainN is in terms of objects to scan. This is
used by gchelpwork to perform a limited amount of work on allocation,
but is a pretty arbitrary way to bound this amount of work since the
number of objects has little relation to how long they take to scan.

Modify gcDrainN to perform a fixed amount of scan work instead. For
now, gchelpwork still performs a fairly arbitrary amount of scan work,
but at least this is much more closely related to how long the work
will take. Shortly, we'll use this to precisely control the scan work
performed by mutator assists during allocation to achieve the heap
size goal.

8e24283a28 runtime: track background scan work credit
This tracks scan work done by background GC in a global pool. Mutator
assists will draw on this credit to avoid doing work when background
GC is staying ahead.

Unlike the other GC controller tracking variables, this will be both
written and read throughout the cycle. Hence, we can't arbitrarily
delay updates like we can for scan work and bytes marked. However, we
still want to minimize contention, so this global credit pool is
allowed some error from the "true" amount of credit. Background GC
accumulates credit locally up to a limit and only then flushes to the
global pool. Similarly, mutator assists will draw from the credit pool
in batches.

Currently this aggregates the work counter in gcWork and dispose
atomically aggregates this into a global work counter. dispose happens
relatively infrequently, so the contention on the global counter
should be low. If this turns out to be an issue, we can reduce the
number of disposes, and if it's still a problem, we can switch to
per-P counters.
