Austin Clements 44078a3228 runtime: adjust huge page flags only on huge page granularity
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.

Fixes #12233.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
