Now that the runtime fetches the true physical page size from the OS,
make the physical page size used by heap growth a variable instead of
a constant. This isn't used in any performance-critical paths, so it
shouldn't be an issue.
sys.PhysPageSize is also renamed to sys.DefaultPhysPageSize to make it
clear that it's not necessarily the true page size. There are no uses
of this constant any more, but we'll keep it around for now.

Currently the physical page size assumed by the runtime is hard-coded.
On Linux the runtime at least fetches the OS page size during init and
sanity checks against the hard-coded value, but they may still differ.
On other OSes we wouldn't even notice.
Add support on all OSes to fetch the actual OS physical page size
during runtime init and lift the sanity check of PhysPageSize from the
Linux init code to general malloc init. Currently this is the only use
of the retrieved page size, but we'll add more shortly.

Currently we only execute a publication barrier for scan objects (and
skip it for noscan objects). This used to be okay because GC would
never consult the object itself (so it wouldn't observe uninitialized
memory even if it found a pointer to a noscan object), and the heap
bitmap was pre-initialized to noscan.
However, now we explicitly initialize the heap bitmap for noscan
objects when we allocate them. While the GC will still never consult
the contents of a noscan object, it does need to see the initialized
heap bitmap. Hence, we need to execute a publication barrier to make
the bitmap visible before user code can expose a pointer to the newly
allocated object even for noscan objects.

In issue #13992, Russ mentioned that the heap bitmap footprint was
halved but that the bitmap size calculation hadn't been updated. This
presents the opportunity to either halve the bitmap size or double
the addressable virtual space. This CL doubles the addressable virtual
space. On 32 bit this can be tweaked further to allow the bitmap to
cover the entire 4GB virtual address space, removing a failure mode
if the kernel hands out memory with a too low address.
First, fix the calculation and double _MaxArena32 to cover 4GB virtual
memory space with the same bitmap size (256 MB).
Then, allow the fallback mode for the initial memory reservation
on 32 bit (or 64 bit with too little available virtual memory) to not
include space for the arena. mheap.sysAlloc will automatically reserve
additional space when the existing arena is full.
Finally, set arena_start to 0 in 32 bit mode, so that any address is
acceptable for subsequent (additional) reservations.
Before, the bitmap was always located just before arena_start, so
fix the two places relying on that assumption: Point the otherwise unused
mheap.bitmap to one byte after the end of the bitmap, and use it for
bitmap addressing instead of arena_start.
With arena_start set to 0 on 32 bit, the cgoInRange check is no longer a
sufficient check for Go pointers. Introduce and call inHeapOrStack to
check whether a pointer is to the Go heap or stack.
While we're here, remove sysReserveHigh which seems to be unused.

With the switch to separate mark bitmaps, the scan/dead bit for the
first word of each object is now unused. Reclaim this bit and use it
as a scan/dead bit, just like words three and on. The second word is
still used for checkmark.
This dramatically simplifies heapBitsSetTypeNoScan and hasPointers,
since they no longer need different cases for 1, 2, and 3+ word
objects. They can instead just manipulate the heap bitmap for the
first word and be done with it.
In order to enable this, we change heapBitsSetType and runGCProg to
always set the scan/dead bit to scan for the first word on every code
path. Since these functions only apply to types that have pointers,
there's no need to do this conditionally: it's *always* necessary to
set the scan bit in the first word.
We also change every place that scans an object and checks if there
are more pointers. Rather than only checking morePointers if the word
is >= 2, we now check morePointers if word != 1 (since that's the
checkmark word).
Looking forward, we should probably reclaim the checkmark bit, too,
but that's going to be quite a bit more work.
Tested by setting doubleCheck in heapBitsSetType and running all.bash
on both linux/amd64 and linux/386, and by running GOGC=10 all.bash.
This particularly improves the FmtFprintf* go1 benchmarks, since they
do a large amount of noscan allocation.

Commit 8dda1c4 changed the meaning of "nfree" in sweep from the number

span, but didn't update where sweep added nfree to c.local_nsmallfree.
Hence, we're over-accounting the number of frees. This is causing
TestArrayHash to fail with "too many allocs NNN - hash not balanced".
Fix this by computing the number of newly freed objects and adding
that to c.local_nsmallfree, so it behaves like it used to. Computing
this requires a small tweak to mallocgc: apparently we've never set
s.allocCount when allocating a large object; fix this by setting it to

Currently we always zero objects when we allocate them. We used to
have an optimization that would not zero objects that had not been
allocated since the whole span was last zeroed (either by getting it
from the system or by getting it from the heap, which does a bulk
zero), but this depended on the sweeper clobbering the first two words
of each object. Hence, we lost this optimization when the bitmap
sweeper went away.
Re-introduce this optimization using a different mechanism. Each span
already keeps a flag indicating that it just came from the OS or was
just bulk zeroed by the mheap. We can simply use this flag to know
when we don't need to zero an object. This is slightly less efficient
than the old optimization: if a span gets allocated and partially
used, then GC happens and the span gets returned to the mcentral, then
the span gets re-acquired, the old optimization knew that it only had
to re-zero the objects that had been reclaimed, whereas this
optimization will re-zero everything. However, in this case, you're
already paying for the garbage collection, and you've only wasted one
zeroing of the span, so in practice there seems to be little
difference. (If we did want to revive the full optimization, each span
could keep track of a frontier beyond which all free slots are zeroed.
I prototyped this and it didn't obvious do any better than the much
simpler approach in this commit.)
This significantly improves BinaryTree17, which is allocation-heavy
(and runs first, so most pages are already zeroed), and slightly
improves everything else.

Allocation uses the bitmap created by the garbage

takes a word of the bitmap, complements, and then
caches it. It then uses CTZ to locate an available
unmarked object. It then shifts marked bits out of
the bitmap word preparing it for the next search.
Once all the unmarked objects are used in the

Two changes are included here that are dependent on the other.
The first is that allocBits and gcamrkBits are changed to
a *uint8 which points to the first byte of that span's
mark and alloc bits. Several places were altered to
perform pointer arithmetic to locate the byte corresponding
to an object in the span. The actual bit corresponding
to an object is indexed in the byte by using the lower three
bits of the objects index.
The second change avoids the redundant calculation of an
object's index. The index is returned from heapBitsForObject
and then used by the functions indexing allocBits
and gcmarkBits.
Finally we no longer allocate the gc bits in the span
structures. Instead we use an arena based allocation scheme
that allows for a more compact bit map as well as recycling
and bulk clearing of the mark bits.

Prior to this CL the sweep phase was responsible for locating
all objects that were about to be freed and calling a function
to process the object. This was done by the function
heapBitsSweepSpan. Part of processing included calls to
tracefree and msanfree as well as counting how many objects
were freed.
The calls to tracefree and msanfree have been moved into the
gcmalloc routine and called when the object is about to be
reallocated. The counting of free objects has been optimized
using an array based popcnt algorithm and if all the objects
in a span are free then span is freed.
Similarly the code to locate the next free object has been
optimized to use an array based ctz (count trailing zero).
Various hot paths in the allocation logic have been optimized.
At this point the garbage benchmark is within 3% of the 1.6

Add to each span a 64 bit cache (allocCache) of the allocBits
at freeindex. allocCache is shifted such that the lowest bit
corresponds to the bit freeindex. allocBits uses a 0 to
indicate an object is free, on the other hand allocCache
uses a 1 to indicate an object is free. This facilitates
ctz64 (count trailing zero) which counts the number of 0s
trailing the least significant 1. This is also the index of
the least significant 1.
Each span maintains a freeindex indicating the boundary
between allocated objects and unallocated objects. allocCache
is shifted as freeindex is incremented such that the low bit
in allocCache corresponds to the bit a freeindex in the
allocBits array.
Currently ctz64 is written in Go using a for loop so it is
not very efficient. Use of the hardware instruction will
follow. With this in mind comparisons of the garbage
benchmark are as follows.
1.6 release 2.8 seconds
dev:garbage branch 3.1 seconds.
Profiling shows the go implementation of ctz64 takes up

one for the GC's mark phase. During the GC cycle's sweep
phase the interpretation of the vectors is swapped. The
mark vector becomes the allocation vector and the old
allocation vector is cleared and becomes the mark vector that
the next GC cycle will use.
Marked entries in the allocation vector indicate that the
object is not free. Each allocation vector maintains a boundary
between areas of the span already allocated from and areas
not yet allocated from. As objects are allocated this boundary
is moved until it reaches the end of the span. At this point
further allocations will be done from another span.
Since we no longer sweep a span inspecting each freed object
the responsibility for maintaining pointer/scalar bits in
the heapBitMap containing is now the responsibility of the
the routines doing the actual allocation.
This CL is functionally complete and ready for performance
tuning.

The gcmarkBits is a bit vector used by the GC to mark
reachable objects. Once a GC cycle is complete the gcmarkBits
swap places with the allocBits. allocBits is then used directly
by malloc to locate free objects, thus avoiding the
construction of a linked free list. This CL introduces a set
of helper functions for manipulating gcmarkBits and allocBits
that will be used by later CLs to realize the actual
algorithm. Minimal attempts have been made to optimize these
helper routines.

Currently we allocate white for most of concurrent marking. This is
based on the classical argument that it produces less floating
garbage, since allocations during GC may not get linked into the heap
and allocating white lets us reclaim these. However, it's not clear
how often this actually happens, especially since our write barrier
shades any pointer as soon as it's installed in the heap regardless of
the color of the slot.
On the other hand, allocating black has several advantages that seem
to significantly outweigh this downside.
1) It naturally bounds the total scan work to the live heap size at
the start of a GC cycle. Allocating white does not, and thus depends
entirely on assists to prevent the heap from growing faster than it
can be scanned.
2) It reduces the total amount of scan work per GC cycle by the size
of newly allocated objects that are linked into the heap graph, since
objects allocated black never need to be scanned.
3) It reduces total write barrier work since more objects will already
be black when they are linked into the heap graph.
This gives a slight overall improvement in benchmarks.

Currently we count black allocations toward the scannable heap size,
but not toward the scan work we've done so far. This is clearly
inconsistent (we have, in effect, scanned these allocations and since
they're already black, we're not going to scan them again). Worse, it
means we don't count black allocations toward the scannable heap size
as of the *next* GC because this is based on the amount of scan work
we did in this cycle.
Fix this by counting black allocations as scan work. Currently the GC
spends very little time in allocate-black mode, so this probably
hasn't been a problem, but this will become important when we switch
to always allocating black.

Currently, we update memstats.heap_live from mcache.local_cachealloc
whenever we lock the heap (e.g., to obtain a fresh span or to release
an unused span). However, under the right circumstances,
local_cachealloc can accumulate allocations up to the size of
the *entire heap* without flushing them to heap_live. Specifically,
since span allocations from an mcentral don't lock the heap, if a
large number of pages are held in an mcentral and the application
continues to use and free objects of that size class (e.g., the
BinaryTree17 benchmark), local_cachealloc won't be flushed until the
mcentral runs out of spans.
This is a problem because, unlike many of the memory statistics that
are purely informative, heap_live is used to determine when the
garbage collector should start and how hard it should work.
This commit eliminates local_cachealloc, instead atomically updating
heap_live directly. To control contention, we do this only when
obtaining a span from an mcentral. Furthermore, we make heap_live
conservative: allocating a span assumes that all free slots in that
span will be used and accounts for these when the span is
allocated, *before* the objects themselves are. This is important
because 1) this triggers the GC earlier than necessary rather than
potentially too late and 2) this leads to a conservative GC rate
rather than a GC rate that is potentially too low.
Alternatively, we could have flushed local_cachealloc when it passed
some threshold, but this would require determining a threshold and
would cause heap_live to underestimate the true value rather than
overestimate.

means that the GC coordinator and the background completion barriers

One consequence of this is that mark workers now need to be

function. This means it's now handled on the goroutine that detected

As a result, malloc no longer needs to Gosched() at the beginning of
the GC cycle to prevent over-allocation while the GC is starting up
because it will now *help* the GC to start up. The Gosched hack is
still necessary during GC shutdown (this is easy to test by enabling
gctrace and hitting Ctrl-S to block the gctrace output).
At this point, the GC coordinator still handles later phases. This
requires a small tweak to how we start the GC coordinator. Currently,
starting the GC coordinator is best-effort and may fail if the
coordinator is about to park from the previous cycle but hasn't yet.
We fix this by replacing the park/ready to wake up the coordinator
with a semaphore. This is temporary since the coordinator will be

This begins the conversion of the centralized GC coordinator to a
decentralized state machine by introducing the internal API that
triggers the first state transition from _GCoff to _GCmark (or
_GCmarktermination).
This change introduces the transition lock, the off->mark transition
condition (which is very similar to shouldtriggergc()), and the
general structure of a state transition. Since we're doing this
conversion in stages, it then falls back to the GC coordinator to
actually execute the cycle. We'll start moving logic out of the GC
coordinator and in to transition functions next.
This fixes a minor bug in gcstoptheworld debug mode where passing the
heap trigger once could trigger multiple STW GCs.
Updates #11970.

In the Go signal handler on Plan 9, when a signal with
the _SigThrow flag is received, we call startpanic before
printing the stack trace.
The startpanic function calls systemstack which calls
startpanic_m. In the startpanic_m function, we call
allocmcache to allocate _g_.m.mcache. The problem is
that allocmcache calls nextSample, which does a floating
point operation to return a sampling point for heap profiling.
However, Plan 9 doesn't support floating point in the
signal handler.
This change adds a new function nextSampleNoFP, only
called when in the Plan 9 signal handler, which is
similar to nextSample, but avoids floating point.
