Austin Clements cf4f1d07a1 runtime: bound scanobject to ~100 µs
Currently the time spent in scanobject is proportional to the size of
the object being scanned. Since scanobject is non-preemptible, large
objects can cause significant goroutine (and even whole application)
delays through several means:

1. If a GC assist picks up a large object, the allocating goroutine is
   blocked for the whole scan, even if that scan well exceeds that
   goroutine's debt.

2. Since the scheduler does not run on the P performing a large object
   scan, goroutines in that P's run queue do not run unless they are
   stolen by another P (which can take some time). If there are a few
   large objects, all of the Ps may get tied up so the scheduler
   doesn't run anywhere.

3. Even if a large object is scanned by a background worker and other
   Ps are still running the scheduler, the large object scan doesn't
   flush background credit until the whole scan is done. This can
   easily cause all allocations to block in assists, waiting for
   credit, causing an effective STW.

Fix this by splitting large objects into 128 KB "oblets" and scanning
at most one oblet at a time. Since we can scan 1–2 MB/ms, this equates
to bounding scanobject at roughly 100 µs. This improves assist
behavior both because assists can no longer get "unlucky" and be stuck
scanning a large object, and because it causes the background worker
to flush credit and unblock assists more frequently when scanning
large objects. This also improves GC parallelism if the heap consists
primarily of a small number of very large objects by letting multiple
workers scan a large objects in parallel.

Fixes #10345. Fixes #16293.

This substantially improves goroutine latency in the benchmark from
issue #16293, which exercises several forms of very large objects:

This has negligible effect on all metrics from the garbage, JSON, and
HTTP x/benchmarks.

It shows slight improvement on some of the go1 benchmarks,
particularly Revcomp, which uses some multi-megabyte buffers:

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.
