We're allowed to remove a write barrier when both the old
value in memory and the new value we're writing are not heap pointers.
Improve both those checks a little bit.
A pointer is known to not be a heap pointer if it is read from
read-only memory. This sometimes happens for loads of pointers
from string constants in read-only memory.
Do a better job of tracking which parts of memory are known to be
zero. Before we just kept track of a range of offsets in the most
recently allocated object. For code that initializes the new object's
fields in a nonstandard order, that tracking is imprecise. Instead,
keep a bit map of the first 64 words of that object, so we can track
precisely what we know to be zeroed.
The new scheme is only precise up to the first 512 bytes of the object.
After that, we'll use write barriers unnecessarily. Hopefully most
initializers of large objects will use typedmemmove, which does only one
write barrier check for the whole initialization.
