The profiler collects goroutine blocking information similar to Google Perf Tools.
You may see an example of the profile (converted to svg) attached to
http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=3946
The public API changes are:
+pkg runtime, func BlockProfile([]BlockProfileRecord) (int, bool)
+pkg runtime, func SetBlockProfileRate(int)
+pkg runtime, method (*BlockProfileRecord) Stack() []uintptr
+pkg runtime, type BlockProfileRecord struct
+pkg runtime, type BlockProfileRecord struct, Count int64
+pkg runtime, type BlockProfileRecord struct, Cycles int64
+pkg runtime, type BlockProfileRecord struct, embedded StackRecord

Same idea as heap profile: how did each thread get created?
Low memory (256 bytes per OS thread), high reward for
programs that suddenly have many threads running.
Fixes#1477.

We only guarantee that the main goroutine runs on the
main OS thread for initialization. Programs that wish to
preserve that property for main.main can call runtime.LockOSThread.
This is what programs used to do before we unleashed
goroutines during init, so it is both a simple fix and keeps
existing programs working.

GC is still single-threaded.
Multiple threads will happen in another CL.
Garbage collection pauses are typically
about half as long as they were before this CL.

The old heap maps used a multilevel table, but that
was overkill: there are only 1M entries on a 32-bit
machine and we can arrange to use a dense address
range on a 64-bit machine.
The heap map is in bss. The assumption is that if
we don't touch the pages they won't be mapped in.
Also moved some duplicated memory allocation
code out of the OS-specific files.

Old code was using recursion to traverse object graph.
New code uses an explicit stack, cutting the per-pointer
footprint to two words during the recursion and avoiding
the standard allocator and stack splitting code.
in test/garbage:
Reduces parser runtime by 2-3%
Reduces Peano runtime by 40%
Increases tree runtime by 4-5%
