allp now has length gomaxprocs, which means none of allp[i] are nil or
in state _Pdead. This lets replace several different styles of loops
over allp with normal range loops.
for i := 0; i < gomaxprocs; i++ { ... } loops can simply range over
allp. Likewise, range loops over allp[:gomaxprocs] can just range over
allp.
Loops that check for p == nil || p.state == _Pdead don't need to check
this any more.
Loops that check for p == nil don't have to check this *if* dead Ps
don't affect them. I checked that all such loops are, in fact,
unaffected by dead Ps. One loop was potentially affected, which this
fixes by zeroing p.gcAssistTime in procresize.

Back in the day, allp was just a pointer to an array. As a result, the
runtime has a few loops of the form:
for i := 0; ; i++ {
p := allp[i]
if p == nil {
break
}
...
}
This is silly now because it requires that allp be one longer than the
maximum possible number of Ps, but now that allp is in Go it has a
length.
Replace these with range loops.

Currently, we mix objects with pointers and objects without pointers
("noscan" objects) together in memory. As a result, for every object
we grey, we have to check that object's heap bits to find out if it's
noscan, which adds to the per-object cost of GC. This also hurts the
TLB footprint of the garbage collector because it decreases the
density of scannable objects at the page level.
This commit improves the situation by using separate spans for noscan
objects. This will allow a much simpler noscan check (in a follow up
CL), eliminate the need to clear the bitmap of noscan objects (in a
follow up CL), and improves TLB footprint by increasing the density of
scannable objects.
This is also a step toward eliminating dead bits, since the current
noscan check depends on checking the dead bit of the first word.
This has no effect on the heap size of the garbage benchmark.
We'll measure the performance change of this after the follow-up
optimizations.
This is a cherry-pick from dev.garbage commit d491e550c3. The only
non-trivial merge conflict was in updatememstats in mstats.go, where
we now have to separate the per-spanclass stats from the per-sizeclass
stats.

gcController.triggerRatio is the only field in gcController that
persists across cycles. As global mutable state, the places where it
written and read are spread out, making it difficult to see that
updates and downstream calculations are done correctly.
Improve this situation by doing two things:
1) Move triggerRatio to memstats so it lives with the other
trigger-related fields and makes gcController entirely transient
state.
2) Commit the new trigger ratio during mark termination when we
compute other next-cycle controls, including the absolute trigger.
This forces us to explicitly thread the new trigger ratio from
gcController.endCycle to mark termination, so we're not just pulling
it out of global state.

Currently, manually-managed spans are included in memstats.heap_inuse

subtract out how much has been allocated for stack spans from both.
This works for now because stacks are the only manually-managed spans
we have.
However, we're about to use manually-managed spans for more things
that don't necessarily have obvious stats we can use to adjust the
user-presented numbers. Prepare for this by changing the accounting so
manually-managed spans don't count toward heap_inuse or heap_sys. This
makes these fields align with the fields presented to the user and
means we don't have to track more statistics just so we can adjust

Fix this by tracking the necessary cumulative statistics in the

When GC is disabled, we set gcpercent to -1. However, we still use
gcpercent to compute several values, such as next_gc and gc_trigger.
These calculations are meaningless when gcpercent is -1 and result in
meaningless values. This is okay in a sense because we also never use
these values if gcpercent is -1, but they're confusing when exposed to
the user, for example via MemStats or the execution trace. It's
particularly unfortunate in the execution trace because it attempts to
plot the underflowed value of next_gc, which scales all useful
information in the heap row into oblivion.
Fix this by making next_gc ^0 when gcpercent < 0. This has the
advantage of being true in a way: next_gc is effectively infinite when
gcpercent < 0. We can also detect this special value when updating the
execution trace and report next_gc as 0 so it doesn't blow up the
display of the heap line.

to concurrent GC in Go 1.5, we got somewhat confused and made this
variable the trigger heap size, while gcController.heapGoal became the
goal heap size.
memstats.next_gc is exposed to the user via MemStats.NextGC, while
gcController.heapGoal is not. This is unfortunate because 1) the heap
goal is far more useful for diagnostics, and 2) the trigger heap size
is just part of the GC trigger heuristic, which means it wouldn't be
useful to an application even if it tried to use it.
We never noticed this mess because MemStats.NextGC is practically
undocumented. Now that we're trying to document MemStats, it became
clear that this field had diverged from its original usefulness.
Clean up this mess by shuffling things back around so that next_gc is
the goal heap size and the new (unexposed) memstats.gc_trigger field
is the trigger heap size. This eliminates gcController.heapGoal.

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.

This change breaks out most of the atomics functions in the runtime
into package runtime/internal/atomic. It adds some basic support
in the toolchain for runtime packages, and also modifies linux/arm
atomics to remove the dependency on the runtime's mutex. The mutexes
have been replaced with spinlocks.
all trybots are happy!
In addition to the trybots, I've tested on the darwin/arm64 builder,
on the darwin/arm builder, and on a ppc64le machine.

This adds a GCCPUFraction field to MemStats that reports the
cumulative fraction of the program's execution time spent in the
garbage collector. This is equivalent to the utilization percent shown
in the gctrace output and makes this available programmatically.
This does make one small effect on the gctrace output: we now report
the duration of mark termination up to just before the final
start-the-world, rather than up to just after. However, unlike
stop-the-world, I don't believe there's any way that start-the-world
can block, so it should take negligible time.
While there are many statistics one might want to expose via MemStats,
this is one of the few that will undoubtedly remain meaningful
regardless of future changes to the memory system.
The diff for this change is larger than the actual change. Mostly it
lifts the code for computing the GC CPU utilization out of the
debug.gctrace path.
Updates #10323.

Currently, startTheWorld clears preemptoff for the current M before
starting the world. A few callers increment m.locks around
startTheWorld, presumably to prevent preemption any time during
starting the world. This is almost certainly pointless (none of the
other callers do this), but there's no harm in making startTheWorld
keep preemption disabled until it's all done, which definitely lets us
drop these m.locks manipulations.

There are several steps to stopping and starting the world and
currently they're open-coded in several places. The garbage collector
is the only thing that needs to stop and start the world in a
non-trivial pattern. Replace all other uses with calls to higher-level
functions that implement the entire pattern necessary to stop and
start the world.
This is a pure refectoring and should not change any code semantics.
In the following commits, we'll make changes that are easier to do
with this abstraction in place.
This commit renames the old starttheworld to startTheWorldWithSema.
This is a slight misnomer right now because the callers release
worldsema just before calling this. However, a later commit will swap
these and I don't want to think of another name in the mean time.

This tracks the number of scannable bytes in the allocated heap. That
is, bytes that the garbage collector must scan before reaching the
last pointer field in each object.
This will be used to compute a more robust estimate of the GC scan
work.

ReadMemStats accounts for stacks slightly differently than the runtime
does internally. Internally, only stacks allocated by newosproc0 are
accounted in memstats.stacks_sys and other stacks are accounted in
heap_sys. readmemstats_m shuffles the statistics so all stacks are
accounted in StackSys rather than HeapSys.
However, currently, readmemstats_m assumes StackSys will be zero when
it does this shuffle. This was true until commit 6ad33be. If it isn't
(e.g., if something called newosproc0), StackSys+HeapSys will be
different before and after this shuffle, and the Sys sum that was
computed earlier will no longer agree with the sum of its components.
Fix this by making the shuffle in readmemstats_m not assume that
StackSys is zero.
Fixes#10585.

The motivation is that sysAlloc/Free() currently aren't safe to be
called without a valid G, because arm's xadd64() uses locks that require
a valid G.
The solution here was proposed by Dmitry Vyukov: use xadduintptr()
instead of xadd64(), until arm can support xadd64 on all of its
architectures (not a trivial task for arm).

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 there are two main consumers of memstats.heap_alloc:
updatememstats (aka ReadMemStats) and shouldtriggergc.
updatememstats recomputes heap_alloc from the ground up, so we don't
need to keep heap_alloc up to date for it. shouldtriggergc wants to
know how many bytes were marked by the previous GC plus how many bytes
have been allocated since then, but this *isn't* what heap_alloc
tracks. heap_alloc also includes objects that are not marked and
haven't yet been swept.
Introduce a new memstat called heap_live that actually tracks what
shouldtriggergc wants to know and stop keeping heap_alloc up to date.
Unlike heap_alloc, heap_live follows a simple sawtooth that drops
during each mark termination and increases monotonically between GCs.
heap_alloc, on the other hand, has much more complicated behavior: it
may drop during sweep termination, slowly decreases from background
sweeping between GCs, is roughly unaffected by allocation as long as
there are unswept spans (because we sweep and allocate at the same
rate), and may go up after background sweeping is done depending on
the GC trigger.
heap_live simplifies computing next_gc and using it to figure out when
to trigger garbage collection. Currently, we guess next_gc at the end
of a cycle and update it as we sweep and get a better idea of how much
heap was marked. Now, since we're directly tracking how much heap is
marked, we can directly compute next_gc.
This also corrects bugs that could cause us to trigger GC early.
Currently, in any case where sweep termination actually finds spans to
sweep, heap_alloc is an overestimation of live heap, so we'll trigger
GC too early. heap_live, on the other hand, is unaffected by sweeping.
