If the area returned by sysReserve in mheap.sysAlloc is outside the
usable arena, we sysFree it. We pass a fake stat pointer to sysFree
because we haven't added the allocation to any stat at that point.
However, we pass a 0 stat, so sysFree panics when it decrements the
stat because the fake stat underflows.
Fix this by setting the fake stat to the allocation size.

This moves all of the mark 1 to mark 2 transition and mark termination
to the mark done transition function. This means these transitions are
now handled on the goroutine that detected mark completion. This also
means that the GC coordinator and the background completion barriers
are no longer used and various workarounds to yield to the coordinator
are no longer necessary. These will be removed in follow-up commits.
One consequence of this is that mark workers now need to be
preemptible when performing the mark done transition. This allows them
to stop the world and to perform the final clean-up steps of GC after
restarting the world. They are only made preemptible while performing
this transition, so if the worker findRunnableGCWorker would schedule

This moves all of GC initialization, sweep termination, and the

the state exit condition.
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

Proportional concurrent sweep is currently based on a ratio of spans
to be swept per bytes of object allocation. However, proportional
sweeping is performed during span allocation, not object allocation,
in order to minimize contention and overhead. Since objects are
allocated from spans after those spans are allocated, the system tends
to operate in debt, which means when the next GC cycle starts, there
is often sweep debt remaining, so GC has to finish the sweep, which
delays the start of the cycle and delays enabling mutator assists.
For example, it's quite likely that many Ps will simultaneously refill
their span caches immediately after a GC cycle (because GC flushes the
span caches), but at this point, there has been very little object
allocation since the end of GC, so very little sweeping is done. The
Ps then allocate objects from these cached spans, which drives up the
bytes of object allocation, but since these allocations are coming
from cached spans, nothing considers whether more sweeping has to
happen. If the sweep ratio is high enough (which can happen if the
next GC trigger is very close to the retained heap size), this can
easily represent a sweep debt of thousands of pages.
Fix this by making proportional sweep proportional to the number of
bytes of spans allocated, rather than the number of bytes of objects
allocated. Prior to allocating a span, both the small object path and
the large object path ensure credit for allocating that span, so the
system operates in the black, rather than in the red.
Combined with the previous commit, this should eliminate all sweeping
from GC start up. On the stress test in issue #11911, this reduces the
time spent sweeping during GC (and delaying start up) by several
orders of magnitude:
mean 99%ile max
pre fix 1 ms 11 ms 144 ms
post fix 270 ns 735 ns 916 ns

Currently there are two sensitive periods during which a mutator can
allocate past the heap goal but mutator assists can't be enabled: 1)
at the beginning of GC between when the heap first passes the heap
trigger and sweep termination and 2) at the end of GC between mark
termination and when the background GC goroutine parks. During these
periods there's no back-pressure or safety net, so a rapidly
allocating mutator can allocate past the heap goal. This is
exacerbated if there are many goroutines because the GC coordinator is
scheduled as any other goroutine, so if it gets preempted during one
of these periods, it may stay preempted for a long period (10s or 100s
of milliseconds).
Normally the mutator does scan work to create back-pressure against
allocation, but there is no scan work during these periods. Hence, as
a fall back, if a mutator would assist but can't yet, simply yield the
CPU. This delays the mutator somewhat, but more importantly gives more
CPU time to the GC coordinator for it to complete the transition.
This is obviously a workaround. Issue #11970 suggests a far better but
far more invasive way to fix this.

every 15 minutes I get a GC cycle where the assists are enabled but

In order to avoid a race with a concurrent write barrier or garbage

the corresponding heap bitmap and spans array memory. Otherwise, the

arena, but then attempt to access unmapped memory to look up its span
or heap bits.
Commit d57c889 fixed all of the places where we updated arena_used
immediately before mapping the heap bitmap and spans, but it missed
the one place where we update arena_used and depend on later code to
update it again and map the bitmap and spans. This creates a window
where the original race can still happen. This commit fixes this by
mapping the heap bitmap and spans before this arena_used update as
well. This code path is only taken when expanding the heap reservation

should have negligible impact.

Some latency regressions have crept into our system over the past few
weeks. This CL fixes those by having the mark phase more aggressively
blacken objects so that the mark termination phase, a STW phase, has less
work to do. Three approaches were taken when the mark phase believes
it has no more work to do, ie all the work buffers are empty.
If things have gone well the mark phase is correct and there is
in fact little or no work. In that case the following items will
take very little time. If the mark phase is wrong this CL will
ferret that work out and give the mark phase a chance to deal with
it concurrently before mark termination begins.
When the mark phase first appears to be out of work, it does three things:
1) It switches from allocating white to allocating black to reduce the
number of unmarked objects reachable only from stacks.
2) It flushes and disables per-P GC work caches so all work must be in
globally visible work buffers.
3) It rescans the global roots---the BSS and data segments---so there
are fewer objects to blacken during mark termination. We do not rescan
stacks at this point, though that could be done in a later CL.
After these steps, it again drains the global work buffers.
On a lightly loaded machine the garbage benchmark has reduced the
number of GC cycles with latency > 10 ms from 83 out of 4083 cycles
down to 2 out of 3995 cycles. Maximum latency was reduced from
60+ msecs down to 20 ms.

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.

Even though the world is stopped the GC may do pointer
writes that need to be protected by write barriers.
This means that the write barrier must be on
continuously from the time the mark phase starts and
the mark termination phase ends. Checks were added to
ensure that no allocation happens during a GC.
Hoist the logic that clears pools the start of the GC
so that the memory can be reclaimed during this GC cycle.

Available darwin/arm devices sporadically have trouble mapping 256M.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could check my working on
this, and make sure sure there aren't obviously bad consequences I
haven't considered.

The routine mallocgc retrieves objects from freelists. Prefetch
the object that will be returned in the next call to mallocgc.
Experiments indicate that this produces a 1% improvement when using
prefetchnta and less when using prefetcht0, prefetcht1, or prefetcht2.
Benchmark numbers indicate a 1% improvement over no
prefetch, much less over prefetcht0, prefetcht1, and prefetcht2.
These numbers were for the garbage benchmark with MAXPROCS=4
no prefetch >> 5.96 / 5.77 / 5.89
prefetcht0(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.88 / 6.17 / 5.84
prefetcht1(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.88 / 5.89 / 5.91
prefetcht2(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.87 / 6.47 / 5.92
prefetchnta(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.72 / 5.84 / 5.85

Move code from malloc1.go, malloc2.go, mem.go, mgc0.go into
appropriate locations.
Factor mgc.go into mgc.go, mgcmark.go, mgcsweep.go, mstats.go.
A lot of this code was in certain files because the right place was in
a C file but it was written in Go, or vice versa. This is one step toward
making things actually well-organized again.

Add local workbufs to the m struct in order to reduce contention.
Add consistency checks for workbuf ownership.
Chain workbufs through call change to avoid swapping them
to and from the m struct.
Adjust the size of the workbuf so that the mutators can
more frequently pass modifications to the GC thus shifting
some work from the STW mark termination phase to the concurrent
mark phase.

m.gcing has become overloaded to mean "don't preempt this g" in
general. Once the garbage collector is preemptible, the one thing it
*won't* mean is that we're in the garbage collector.
So, rename gcing to "preemptoff" and make it a string giving a reason
that preemption is disabled. gcing was never set to anything but 0 or
1, so we don't have to worry about there being a stack of reasons.

During a concurrent GC stacks are scanned in
an initial scan phase informing the GC of all
pointers on the stack. The GC only needs to rescan
the stack if it potentially changes which can only
happen if the goroutine runs.
This CL tracks whether the Goroutine has run
since it was last scanned and thus may have changed
its stack. If necessary the stack is rescanned.
