PIC code on ppc64le uses R2 as a TOC pointer and when calling a function
through a function pointer must ensure the function pointer is in R12. These
rules are easy enough to follow unconditionally in our assembly, so do that.

Currently, when the mutator allocates, the runtime first allocates the
memory and then, if that G has done "enough" allocation, the runtime
checks whether the G has assist debt to pay off and, if so, pays it
off. This approach leads to under-assisting, where a G can allocate a
large region (or many small regions) before paying for it, or can even
exit with outstanding debt.
This commit flips this around so that a G always acquires enough
credit for an allocation before it can perform that allocation. We
continue to amortize the cost of assists by requiring that they
over-assist when triggered to build up credit for many allocations.

Currently we track the per-G GC assist balance as two monotonically
increasing values: the bytes allocated by the G this cycle (gcalloc)
and the scan work performed by the G this cycle (gcscanwork). The
assist balance is hence assistRatio*gcalloc - gcscanwork.
This works, but has two important downsides:
1) It requires floating-point math to figure out if a G is in debt or
not. This makes it inappropriate to check for assist debt in the
hot path of mallocgc, so we only do this when a G allocates a new
span. As a result, Gs can operate "in the red", leading to
under-assist and extended GC cycle length.
2) Revising the assist ratio during a GC cycle can lead to an "assist
burst". If you think of plotting the scan work performed versus
heaps size, the assist ratio controls the slope of this line.
However, in the current system, the target line always passes
through 0 at the heap size that triggered GC, so if the runtime
increases the assist ratio, there has to be a potentially large
assist to jump from the current amount of scan work up to the new
target scan work for the current heap size.
This commit replaces this approach with directly tracking the GC
assist balance in terms of allocation credit bytes. Allocating N bytes
simply decreases this by N and assisting raises it by the amount of
scan work performed divided by the assist ratio (to get back to
bytes).
This will make it cheap to figure out if a G is in debt, which will
let us efficiently check if an assist is necessary *before* performing
an allocation and hence keep Gs "in the black".
This also fixes assist bursts because the assist ratio is now in terms
of *remaining* work, rather than work from the beginning of the GC
cycle. Hence, the plot of scan work versus heap size becomes
continuous: we can revise the slope, but this slope always starts from
where we are right now, rather than where we were at the beginning of
the cycle.

Currently we ensure a minimum heap distance of 1MB when computing the

it makes more sense to enforce that the heap goal itself is at least
1MB over the live heap size at the beginning of GC. Currently the two
approaches are semantically equivalent, but this will let us switch to
basing the assist ratio on current heap distance rather than the
initial heap distance, since we can't enforce this minimum on the
current heap distance (the GC may never finish because the goal posts
will always be 1MB away).

This fixes an issue where the runtime panics with "out of memory" or
"cannot allocate memory" even though there's ample memory by reducing
the number of memory mappings created by the memory allocator.
Commit 7e1b61c worked around issue #8832 where Linux's transparent
huge page support could dramatically increase the RSS of a Go process
by setting the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE flag on any regions of pages released
to the OS with MADV_DONTNEED. This had the side effect of also
increasing the number of VMAs (memory mappings) in a Go address space
because a separate VMA is needed for every region of the virtual
address space with different flags. Unfortunately, by default, Linux
limits the number of VMAs in an address space to 65530, and a large
heap can quickly reach this limit when the runtime starts scavenging
memory.
This commit dramatically reduces the number of VMAs. It does this
primarily by only adjusting the huge page flag at huge page
granularity. With this change, on amd64, even a pessimal heap that
alternates between MADV_NOHUGEPAGE and MADV_HUGEPAGE must reach 128GB
to reach the VMA limit. Because of this rounding to huge page
granularity, this change is also careful to leave large used and
unused regions huge page-enabled.
This change reduces the maximum number of VMAs during the runtime
benchmarks with GODEBUG=scavenge=1 from 692 to 49.

In general, finishsweep_m must block until any spans that are
concurrently being swept have been swept. It accomplishes this by
looping over all spans, which, as in the previous commit, takes
~1ms/heap GB. Unfortunately, we do this during the STW sweep
termination phase, so multi-gigabyte heaps can push our STW time past
10ms.
However, there's no need to do this wait if the world is stopped
because, in effect, stopping the world already had to wait for
anything that was sweeping (and if it didn't, the wait in
finishsweep_m would deadlock). Hence, we can simply skip this loop if
the world is stopped, such as during sweep termination. In fact,
currently all calls to finishsweep_m are STW, but this hasn't always
been the case and may not be the case in the future, so we keep the
logic around.
For 24GB heaps, this reduces max pause time by 75% relative to tip and
by 90% relative to Go 1.5. Notably, all pauses are now well under
10ms. Here are the results for the garbage benchmark:

max went up, but the 99%ile pause time went down from 3ms to 2.04ms.

This reduces pause time by ~25% relative to tip and by ~50% relative
to Go 1.5.1.
Currently one of the steps of STW mark termination is to loop (in
parallel) over all spans to find objects with finalizers in order to
mark all objects reachable from these objects and to treat the
finalizer special as a root. Unfortunately, even if there are no
finalizers at all, this loop takes roughly 1 ms/heap GB/core, so
multi-gigabyte heaps can quickly push our STW time past 10ms.
Fix this by moving this scan from mark termination to concurrent scan,
where it can run in parallel with mutators. The loop itself could also
be optimized, but this cost is small compared to concurrent marking.
Making this scan concurrent introduces two complications:
1) The scan currently walks the specials list of each span without
locking it, which is safe only with the world stopped. We fix this by
speculatively checking if a span has any specials (the vast majority
won't) and then locking the specials list only if there are specials
to check.
2) An object can have a finalizer set after concurrent scan, in which
case it won't have been marked appropriately by concurrent scan. If
the finalizer is a closure and is only reachable from the special, it
could be swept before it is run. Likewise, if the object is not marked
yet when the finalizer is set and then becomes unreachable before it
is marked, other objects reachable only from it may be swept before
the finalizer function is run. We fix this issue by making
addfinalizer ensure the same marking invariants as markroot does.
For multi-gigabyte heaps, this reduces max pause time by 20%–30%
relative to tip (depending on GOMAXPROCS) and by ~50% relative to Go
1.5.1 (where this loop was neither concurrent nor parallel). Here are
the results for the garbage benchmark:
---------------- max pause ----------------
Heap Procs Concurrent scan STW parallel scan 1.5.1
24GB 12 18ms 23ms 37ms
24GB 4 18ms 25ms 37ms
4GB 4 3.8ms 4.9ms 6.9ms
In all cases, 95%ile pause time is similar to the max pause time. This
also improves mean STW time by 10%–30%.

unsafe or cgo in user code (though it could also catch runtime bugs).
Unfortunately, the rather cryptic error misleads users, offers users
little help with debugging their own problem, and offers the Go
developers little help with root-causing.
Improve the error message in various ways. First, the wording is
improved to make it clearer what condition was detected and to suggest
that this may be the result of incorrect use of unsafe or cgo. Second,
we add a dump of the object containing the bad pointer so that there's
at least some hope of figuring out why a bad pointer was stored in the
Go heap.

This change moves the invocation of traceGoSysCall for entersyscall() so
that the same number of "frames to skip" are present in the trace as when
entersyscallblock() is used ensuring system call traces remain identical

Aeshash currently computes the hash of the empty string as
hash("", seed) = seed. This is bad because the hash of a compound
object with empty strings in it doesn't include information about
where those empty strings were. For instance [2]string{"", "foo"}
and [2]string{"foo", ""} might get the same hash.
Fix this by returning a scrambled seed instead of the seed itself.
With this fix, we can remove the scrambling done by the generated
array hash routines.
The test also rejects hash("", seed) = 0, if we ever thought
it would be a good idea to try that.
The fallback hash is already OK in this regard.

Marking of span roots can represent a significant fraction of the time
spent in mark termination. Simply traversing the span list takes about
1ms per GB of heap and if there are a large number of finalizers (for
example, for network connections), it may take much longer.
Improve the situation by splitting the span scan into 128 subtasks
that can be executed in parallel and load balanced by the markroots
parallel for. This lets the GC balance this job across the Ps.
A better solution is to do this during concurrent mark, or to improve
it algorithmically, but this is a simple change with a lot of bang for

Currently the runtime can install stack barriers in any frame.
However, the frame of cgocallback_gofunc is special: it's the one
function that switches from a regular G stack to the system stack on
return. Hence, the return PC slot in its frame on the G stack is
actually used to save getg().sched.pc (so tracebacks appear to unwind
to the last Go function running on that G), and not as an actual
return PC for cgocallback_gofunc.
Because of this, if we install a stack barrier in cgocallback_gofunc's
return PC slot, when cgocallback_gofunc does return, it will move the
stack barrier stub PC in to getg().sched.pc and switch back to the
system stack. The rest of the runtime doesn't know how to deal with a
stack barrier stub in sched.pc: nothing knows how to match it up with
the G's stack barrier array and, when the runtime removes stack
barriers, it doesn't know to undo the one in sched.pc. Hence, if the C
code later returns back in to Go code, it will attempt to return
through the stack barrier saved in sched.pc, which may no longer have
correct unwinding information.
Fix this by blacklisting cgocallback_gofunc's frame so the runtime
won't install a stack barrier in it's return PC slot.

Currently, runtime.Goexit() calls goexit()—the goroutine exit stub—to
terminate the goroutine. This *mostly* works, but can cause a
"leftover stack barriers" panic if the following happens:
1. Goroutine A has a reasonably large stack.
2. The garbage collector scan phase runs and installs stack barriers
in A's stack. The top-most stack barrier happens to fall at address X.
3. Goroutine A unwinds the stack far enough to be a candidate for
stack shrinking, but not past X.
4. Goroutine A calls runtime.Goexit(), which calls goexit(), which
calls goexit1().
5. The garbage collector enters mark termination.
6. Goroutine A is preempted right at the prologue of goexit1() and
performs a stack shrink, which calls gentraceback.
gentraceback stops as soon as it sees goexit on the stack, which is
only two frames up at this point, even though there may really be many
frames above it. More to the point, the stack barrier at X is above
the goexit frame, so gentraceback never sees that stack barrier. At
the end of gentraceback, it checks that it saw all of the stack
barriers and panics because it didn't see the one at X.
The fix is simple: call goexit1, which actually implements the process
of exiting a goroutine, rather than goexit, the exit stub.
To make sure this doesn't happen again in the future, we also add an
argument to the stub prototype of goexit so you really, really have to
want to call it in order to call it. We were able to reliably
reproduce the above sequence with a fair amount of awful code inserted
at the right places in the runtime, but chose to change the goexit
prototype to ensure this wouldn't happen again rather than pollute the
runtime with ugly testing code.

it uses the start of the scan phase as the wall-clock time when
assists were enabled rather than the start of the mark phase.

At the start of a GC cycle, the garbage collector computes the assist
ratio based on the total scannable heap size. This was intended to be
conservative; after all, this assumes the entire heap may be reachable
and hence needs to be scanned. But it only assumes that the *current*
entire heap may be reachable. It fails to account for heap allocated
during the GC cycle. If the trigger ratio is very low (near zero), and
most of the heap is reachable when GC starts (which is likely if the
trigger ratio is near zero), then it's possible for the mutator to
create new, reachable heap fast enough that the assists won't keep up
based on the assist ratio computed at the beginning of the cycle. As a
result, the heap can grow beyond the heap goal (by hundreds of megs in
stress tests like in issue #11911).
We already have some vestigial logic for dealing with situations like
this; it just doesn't run often enough. Currently, every 10 ms during
the GC cycle, the GC revises the assist ratio. This was put in before
we switched to a conservative assist ratio (when we really were using
estimates of scannable heap), and it turns out to be exactly what we
need now. However, every 10 ms is far too infrequent for a rapidly
allocating mutator.
This commit reuses this logic, but replaces the 10 ms timer with
revising the assist ratio every time the heap is locked, which
coincides precisely with when the statistics used to compute the
assist ratio are updated.

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

responsibility for finishing the sweep on GC itself, which delays GC

Fix this by ensuring that next_gc is always at least a little higher

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.
Updates #11911. (This very nearly fixes the issue, but about once
every 15 minutes I get a GC cycle where the assists are enabled but
don't do enough work.)

Currently allocation checks the GC trigger speculatively during
allocation and then triggers the GC without rechecking. As a result,
it's possible for G 1 and G 2 to detect the trigger simultaneously,
both enter startGC, G 1 actually starts GC while G 2 gets preempted
until after the whole GC cycle, then G 2 immediately starts another GC
cycle even though the heap is now well under the trigger.
Fix this by re-checking the GC trigger non-speculatively just before
actually kicking off a new GC cycle.
This contributes to #11911 because when this happens, we definitely
don't finish the background sweep before starting the next GC cycle,
which can significantly delay the start of concurrent scan.

On most systems, a pointer is the worst case alignment, so adding
a pointer field at the end of a struct guarantees there will be no
padding added after that field (to satisfy overall struct alignment
due to some more-aligned field also present).
In the runtime, the map implementation needs a quick way to
get to the overflow pointer, which is last in the bucket struct,
so it uses size - sizeof(pointer) as the offset.
NaCl/amd64p32 is the exception, as always.
The worst case alignment is 64 bits but pointers are 32 bits.
There's a long history that is not worth going into, but when
we moved the overflow pointer to the end of the struct,
we didn't get the padding computation right.
The compiler computed the regular struct size and then
on amd64p32 added another 32-bit field.
And the runtime assumed it could step back two 32-bit fields
(one 64-bit register size) to get to the overflow pointer.
But in fact if the struct needed 64-bit alignment, the computation
of the regular struct size would have added a 32-bit pad already,
and then the code unconditionally added a second 32-bit pad.
This placed the overflow pointer three words from the end, not two.
The last two were padding, and since the runtime was consistent
about using the second-to-last word as the overflow pointer,
no harm done in the sense of overwriting useful memory.
But writing the overflow pointer to a non-pointer word of memory
means that the GC can't see the overflow blocks, so it will
collect them prematurely. Then bad things happen.
Correct all this in a few steps:
1. Add an explicit check at the end of the bucket layout in the
compiler that the overflow field is last in the struct, never
followed by padding.
2. When padding is needed on nacl (not always, just when needed),
insert it before the overflow pointer, to preserve the "last in the struct"
property.
3. Let the compiler have the final word on the width of the struct,
by inserting an explicit padding field instead of overwriting the
results of the width computation it does.
4. For the same reason (tell the truth to the compiler), set the type
of the overflow field when we're trying to pretend its not a pointer
(in this case the runtime maintains a list of the overflow blocks
elsewhere).
5. Make the runtime use "last in the struct" as its location algorithm.
This fixes TestTraceStress on nacl/amd64p32.
The 'bad map state' and 'invalid free list' failures no longer occur.

Nearly all the flaky failures we've seen in trace tests have been
due to the use of time stamps to determine relative event ordering.
This is tricky for many reasons, including:
- different cores might not have exactly synchronized clocks
- VMs are worse than real hardware
- non-x86 chips have different timer resolution than x86 chips
- on fast systems two events can end up with the same time stamp
Stop trying to make time reliable. It's clearly not going to be for Go 1.5.
Instead, record an explicit event sequence number for ordering.
Using our own counter solves all of the above problems.
The trace still contains time stamps, of course. The sequence number
is just used for ordering.
Should alleviate #10554 somewhat. Then tickDiv can be chosen to
be a useful time unit instead of having to be exact for ordering.
Separating ordering and time stamps lets the trace parser diagnose
systems where the time stamp order and actual order do not match
for one reason or another. This CL adds that check to the end of
trace.Parse, after all other sequence order-based checking.
If that error is found, we skip the test instead of failing it.
Putting the check in trace.Parse means that cmd/trace will pick
up the same check, refusing to display a trace where the time stamps
do not match actual ordering.

The following sequence of events can lead to the runtime attempting an

1. A SIGPROF comes in on a thread while the G on that thread is in
_Gsyscall. The sigprof handler calls gentraceback, which saves a
local copy of the G's stkbar slice. Currently the G has no stack
barriers, so this slice is empty.
2. On another thread, the GC concurrently scans the stack of the
goroutine being profiled (it considers it stopped because it's in
_Gsyscall) and installs stack barriers.
3. Back on the sigprof thread, gentraceback comes across a stack
barrier in the stack and attempts to look it up in its (zero
length) copy of G's old stkbar slice, which causes an out-of-bounds
access.
This commit fixes this by adding a simple cas spin to synchronize the
SIGPROF handler with stack barrier insertion.
In general I would prefer that this synchronization be done through
the G status, since that's how stack scans are otherwise synchronized,

scan phase during which to allocate beyond the heap trigger and
potentially beyond the heap goal with no back-pressure from assists.
This prevents the feedback system that's supposed to keep the heap
size under the heap goal from doing its job.
Fix this by enabling mutator assists during the scan phase. This is
safe because the write barrier is already enabled and globally
acknowledged at this point.
There's still a very small window between when the heap size reaches
the heap trigger and when the GC coordinator is able to stop the world
during which the mutator can allocate unabated. This allows *very*
rapidly allocator mutators like TestTraceStress to still occasionally
exceed the heap goal by a small amount (~20 MB at most for
TestTraceStress). However, this seems like a corner case.
Fixes#11677.

Currently we hand-code a set of phases when draining is allowed.
However, this set of phases is conservative. The critical invariant is
simply that the write barrier must be enabled if we're draining.
Shortly we're going to enable mutator assists during the scan phase,
which means we may drain during the scan phase. In preparation, this
commit generalizes these assertions to check the fundamental condition
that the write barrier is enabled, rather than checking that we're in
any particular phase.

Currently we clear both the mark 1 and mark 2 signals at the beginning
of concurrent mark. If either if these is clear, it acts as a signal
to the scheduler that it should start background workers. However,
this means that in the interim *between* mark 1 and mark 2, the
scheduler basically loops starting up new workers only to have them
return with nothing to do. In addition to harming performance and
delaying mutator work, this approach has a race where workers started
for mark 1 can mistakenly signal mark 2, causing it to complete
prematurely. This approach also interferes with starting assists
earlier to fix#11677.
Fix this by initially setting both mark 1 and mark 2 to "signaled".
The scheduler will not start background mark workers, though assists
can still run. When we're ready to enter mark 1, we clear the mark 1
signal and wait for it. Then, when we're ready to enter mark 2, we
clear the mark 2 signal and wait for it.
This structure also lets us deal cleanly with the situation where all
work is drained *prior* to the mark 2 wait, meaning that there may be
no workers to signal completion. Currently we deal with this using a
racy (and possibly incorrect) check for work in the coordinator itself
to skip the mark 2 wait if there's no work. This change makes the
coordinator unconditionally wait for mark completion and makes the
scheduler itself signal completion by slightly extending the logic it
already has to determine that there's no work and hence no use in
starting a new worker.
This is a prerequisite to fixing the remaining component of #11677,
which will require enabling assists during the scan phase. However, we
don't want to enable background workers until the mark phase because
they will compete with the scan. This change lets us use bgMark1 and
bgMark2 to indicate when it's okay to start background workers
independent of assists.
This is also a prerequisite to fixing #11694. It significantly reduces
the occurrence of long mark termination pauses in #11694 (from 64 out
of 1000 to 2 out of 1000 in one experiment).
Coincidentally, this also reduces the final heap size (and hence run
time) of TestTraceStress from ~100 MB and ~1.9 seconds to ~14 MB and
~0.4 seconds because it significantly shortens concurrent mark
duration.
Rick Hudson <rlh> did the hard work of tracking this down.

Currently, there are three ways to satisfy a GC assist: 1) the mutator
steals credit from background GC, 2) the mutator actually does GC
work, and 3) there is no more work available. 3 was never really
intended as a way to satisfy an assist, and it causes problems: there
are periods when it's expected that the GC won't have any work, such
as when transitioning from mark 1 to mark 2 and from mark 2 to mark
termination. During these periods, there's no back-pressure on rapidly
allocating mutators, which lets them race ahead of the heap goal.
For example, test/init1.go and the runtime/trace test both have small
reachable heaps and contain loops that rapidly allocate large garbage
byte slices. This bug lets these tests exceed the heap goal by several
orders of magnitude.
Fix this by forcing the assist (and hence the allocation) to block
until it can satisfy its debt via either 1 or 2, or the GC cycle
terminates.
This fixes one the causes of #11677. It's still possible to overshoot
the GC heap goal, but with this change the overshoot is almost exactly
by the amount of allocation that happens during the concurrent scan
phase, between when the heap passes the GC trigger and when the GC
enables assists.

Currently it's possible for the GC assist to signal completion of the
mark phase, which puts the GC coordinator goroutine on the current P's
run queue, and then return to mutator code that delays until the next
forced preemption before actually yielding control to the GC
coordinator, dragging out completion of the mark phase. This delay can
be further exacerbated if the mutator makes other goroutines runnable
before yielding control, since this will push the GC coordinator on
the back of the P's run queue.
To fix this, this adds a Gosched to the assist if it completed the
mark phase. This immediately and directly yields control to the GC
coordinator. This already happens implicitly in the background mark
workers because they park immediately after completing the mark.
This is one of the reasons completion of the mark phase is being
dragged out and allowing the mutator to allocate without assisting,
leading to the large heap goal overshoot in issue #11677. This is also
a prerequisite to making the assist block when it can't pay off its
debt.

Currently it's possible to perform GC work on a system stack or when

yield after signaling mark completion (which we can't do from a
non-preemptible context) and the other is to make assists block if
there's no other way for them to pay off the assist debt.
This commit simply skips the assist if it's called from a
non-preemptible context. The allocation will still count toward the
assist debt, so it will be paid off by a later assist. There should be
little allocation from non-preemptible contexts, so this shouldn't
harm the overall assist mechanism.

Currently fractional and idle mark workers dispose of their gcWork
cache during mark 2 after incrementing work.nwait and after checking
whether there are any workers or any work available. This creates a
window for two races:
1) If the only remaining work is in this worker's gcWork cache, it
will see that there are no more workers and no more work on the
global lists (since it has not yet flushed its own cache) and
prematurely signal mark 2 completion.
2) After this worker has incremented work.nwait but before it has
flushed its cache, another worker may observe that there are no
more workers and no more work and prematurely signal mark 2
completion.
We can fix both of these by simply moving the cache flush above the
increment of nwait and the test of the completion condition.
This is probably contributing to #11694, though this alone is not
enough to fix it.

However, they are instead stealing the *total* amount of their debt

results in unnecessary assist work.
The fix is trivial: steal the amount of work we meant to steal (which

This fixes a race between 1) sweeping and freeing an unmarked large
span and 2) reusing that span and allocating from it. This race arises
because mSpan_Sweep returns spans for large objects to the heap
*before* heapBitsSweepSpan clears the mark bit on the object in the
span.
Specifically, the following sequence of events can lead to an
incorrectly zeroed bitmap byte, which causes the garbage collector to
not trace any pointers in that object (the pointer bits for the first
four words are cleared, and the scan bits are also cleared, so it
looks like a no-scan object).
1) P0 calls mSpan_Sweep on a large span S0 with an unmarked object on it.
2) mSpan_Sweep calls heapBitsSweepSpan, which invokes the callback for
the one (unmarked) object on the span.
3) The callback calls mHeap_Free, which makes span S0 available for
allocation, but this is too early.
4) P1 grabs this S0 from the heap to use for allocation.
5) P1 allocates an object on this span and writes that object's type
bits to the bitmap.
6) P0 returns from the callback to heapBitsSweepSpan.
heapBitsSweepSpan clears the byte containing the mark, even though
this span is now owned by P1 and this byte contains important
bitmap information.
This fixes this problem by simply delaying the mHeap_Free until after
the heapBitsSweepSpan. I think the overall logic of mSpan_Sweep could
be simplified now, but this seems like the minimal change.

script in GOROOT_FINAL, which will fail. Check for that case, and
skip the test when we see it.
Fixes#11652.

sysmon triggers a GC if there has been no GC for two minutes.
Currently, this is a STW GC. There is no reason for this to be STW, so
make it concurrent.
Fixes#10261.

The expansion of structure, array, slice, and map literals
does not use the right line number in its introduced assignments
to temporaries, which leads to incorrect line number attribution
for expressions in those literals.
Inlining also incorrectly replaced the line numbers of args to
inlined functions.
This was revealed in CL 9721 because a now-avoided temporary
assignment introduced the correct line number.
I.e. before CL 9721
"tmp_wrongline := expr"
was transformed to
"tmp_rightline := expr; tmp_wrongline := tmp_rightline"
Also includes a repair to CL 10334 involving line numbers
where a spurious -1 remained (should have been 0, now is 0).
Fixes#11400.

Basic randomization of goroutine scheduling for -race mode.
It is probably possible to do much better (there's a paper linked
in the issue that I haven't read, for example), but this suffices
to introduce at least some unpredictability into the scheduling order.
The goal here is to have _something_ for Go 1.5, so that we don't
start hitting more of these scheduling order-dependent bugs
if we change the scheduler order again in Go 1.6.
For #11372.
