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.

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.
