This is intended to allow IDEs to note where the optimizer
was not able to improve users' code. There may be other
applications for this, for example in studying effectiveness
of optimizer changes more quickly than running benchmarks,
or in verifying that code changes did not accidentally disable
optimizations in performance-critical code.
Logging of nilcheck (bad) for amd64 is implemented as
proof-of-concept. In general, the intent is that optimizations
that didn't happen are what will be logged, because that is
believed to be what IDE users want.
Added flag -json=version,dest
Check that version=0. (Future compilers will support a
few recent versions, I hope that version is always <=3.)
Dest is expected to be one of:
/path (or \path in Windows)
will create directory /path and fill it w/ json files
file://path
will create directory path, intended either for
I:\dont\know\enough\about\windows\paths
trustme_I_know_what_I_am_doing_probably_testing
Not passing an absolute path name usually leads to
json splattered all over source directories,
or failure when those directories are not writeable.
If you want a foot-gun, you have to ask for it.
The JSON output is directed to subdirectories of dest,
where each subdirectory is net/url.PathEscape of the
package name, and each for each foo.go in the package,
net/url.PathEscape(foo).json is created. The first line
of foo.json contains version and context information,
and subsequent lines contains LSP-conforming JSON
describing the missing optimizations.

Previously langSupported applied -lang as though it's a global
restriction, but it's actually a per-package restriction. This CL
fixes langSupported to take a *types.Pkg parameter to reflect this and
updates its callers accordingly.
This is relevant for signed shifts (added in Go 1.12), because they
can be inlined into a Go 1.11 package; and for overlapping interfaces
(added in Go 1.13), because they can be exported as part of the
package's API.
Today we require all Go packages to be compiled with the same
toolchain, and all uses of langSupported are for controlling
backwards-compatible features. So we can simply assume that since the
imported packages type-checked successfully, they must have been
compiled with an appropriate -lang setting.
In the future if we ever want to use langSupported to control
backwards-incompatible language changes, we might need to record the
-lang flag used for compiling a package in its export data.

Support "gzip" aka "x-gzip" as a transfer-encoding for
requests and responses as per RFC 7230 Section 3.3.1.
"gzip" and "x-gzip" are equivalents as requested by
RFC 7230 Section 4.2.3.
Transfer-Encoding is an on-fly property of the body
that can be applied by proxies, other servers and basically
any intermediary to transport the content e.g. across data centers
or backends/machine to machine that need compression.
For this change, "gzip" is both explicitly and implicitly combined
with transfer-encoding "chunked" in an ordering such as:
Transfer-Encoding: gzip, chunked
and NOT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked, gzip
Obviously the latter form is counter-intuitive for streaming.
Thus "chunked" is the last value to appear in that transfer-encoding header,
if explicitly included.
When parsing the response, the chunked body is concatenated as "chunked" does,
before finally being decompressed as "gzip".
A chunked and compressed body would typically look like this:
<LENGTH_1>\r\n<CHUNK_1_GZIPPED_BODY>\r\n<LENGTH_2>\r\n<CHUNK_2_GZIPPED_BODY>\0\r\n
which when being processed we would contentate
<FULL_BODY> := <CHUNK_1_GZIPPED_BODY> + <CHUNK_2_GZIPPED_BODY> + ...
and then finally gunzip it
<FINAL_BODY> := gunzip(<FULL_BODY>)
If a "chunked" transfer-encoding is NOT applied but "gzip" is applied,
we implicitly assume that they requested using "chunked" at the end.
This is as per the recommendation of RFC 3.3.1. which explicitly says
that for:
* Request:
" If any transfer coding
other than chunked is applied to a request payload body, the sender
MUST apply chunked as the final transfer coding to ensure that the
message is properly framed."
* Response:
" If any transfer coding other than
chunked is applied to a response payload body, the sender MUST either
apply chunked as the final transfer coding or terminate the message
by closing the connection."

Currently gcSweepBuf guarantees that push operations may be performed
concurrently with each other and that block operations may be performed
concurrently with push operations as well.
Unfortunately, this isn't quite true. The existing code allows push
operations to happen concurrently with each other, but block operations
may return blocks with nil entries. The way this can happen is if two
concurrent pushers grab a slot to push to, and the first one (the one
with the earlier slot in the buffer) doesn't quite write a span value
when the block is called. The existing code in block only checks if the
very last value in the block is nil, when really an arbitrary number of
the last few values in the block may or may not be nil.
Today, this case can't actually happen because when push operations
happen concurrently during a GC (which is the only time block is
called), they only ever happen during an allocation with the heap lock
held, effectively serializing them. A block operation may happen
concurrently with one of these pushes, but its callers will never see a
nil mspan. Outside of a GC, this isn't a problem because although push
operations from allocations can run concurrently with push operations
from sweeping, block operations will never run.
In essence, the real concurrency guarantees provided by gcSweepBuf are
that block operations may happen concurrently with push operations, but
that push operations may not be concurrent with each other if there are
any block operations.
To fix this, and to prepare for push operations happening without the
heap lock held in a future CL, we update the documentation for block to
correctly state that there may be nil entries in the returned slice.
While we're here, make the mspan writes into the buffer atomic to avoid
a block user racing on a nil check, and document that the user should
load mspan values from the returned slice atomically. Finally, we make
all callers of block adhere to the new rules.
We choose to allow nil values rather than filter them out because the
only caller of block is markrootSpans, and if it catches a nil entry,
then there wasn't anything to mark in there anyway since the span is
just being created.

heap_objects turns out to be pointless.
As a result, the "large" parameter on "mheap_.freeSpan" is no longer
necessary and so this change cleans that up too.

In preparation for a lockless fast path in the page allocator, this
change makes it so that checking if an allocation needs to be zeroed may
be done atomically.
Unfortunately, this means there is a CAS-loop to ensure monotonicity of
the zeroedBase value in heapArena. This CAS-loop exits if an allocator
acquiring memory further on in the arena wins or if it succeeds. The
CAS-loop should have a relatively small amount of contention because of
this monotonicity, though it would be ideal if we could just have
CAS-ers with the greatest value always win. The CAS-loop is unnecessary
in the steady-state, but should bring some start-up performance gains as
it's likely cheaper than the additional zeroing required, especially for
large allocations.
For very large allocations that span arenas, the CAS-loop should be
completely uncontended for most of the arenas it touches, it may only
encounter contention on the first and last arena.
Updates #35112.
