Currently, it's possible for the next_gc calculation to underflow.
Since next_gc is unsigned, this wraps around and effectively disables
GC for the rest of the program's execution. Besides being obviously
wrong, this is causing test failures on 32-bit because some tests are
running out of heap.
This underflow happens for two reasons, both having to do with how we
estimate the reachable heap size at the end of the GC cycle.
One reason is that this calculation depends on the value of heap_live
at the beginning of the GC cycle, but we currently only record that
value during a concurrent GC and not during a forced STW GC. Fix this
by moving the recorded value from gcController to work and recording
it on a common code path.
The other reason is that we use the amount of allocation during the GC
cycle as an approximation of the amount of floating garbage and
subtract it from the marked heap to estimate the reachable heap.
However, since this is only an approximation, it's possible for the
amount of allocation during the cycle to be *larger* than the marked
heap size (since the runtime allocates white and it's possible for
these allocations to never be made reachable from the heap). Currently
this causes wrap-around in our estimate of the reachable heap size,
which in turn causes wrap-around in next_gc. Fix this by bottoming out
the reachable heap estimate at 0, in which case we just fall back to
triggering GC at heapminimum (which is okay since this only happens on
small heaps).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

really do need preemption disabled.
This dramatically changes the scheduling behavior of the concurrent

gets one dedicated P (so 1/GOMAXPROCS utilization). With this change,
the GC goroutine is scheduled like any other goroutine during

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.

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.

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.
