Currently, assists can only perform heap marking jobs. However, at the
beginning of GC, there are only root jobs and no heap marking jobs. As
a result, there's often a period at the beginning of a GC cycle where
no goroutine has accumulated assist credit, but at the same time it
can't get any credit because there are no heap marking jobs for it to
do yet. As a result, many goroutines often block on the assist queue
at the very beginning of the GC cycle.
This commit fixes this by allowing assists to perform root marking
jobs. The tricky part of this (and the reason we haven't done this
before) is that stack scanning jobs can lead to deadlocks if the
goroutines performing the stack scanning are themselves
non-preemptible, since two non-preemptible goroutines may try to scan
each other. To address this, we use the same insight

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.
