Prior to this CL whenever the GC marking was enabled and
a P was looking for work we supplied a G to help
the GC do its marking tasks. Once this G finished all
the marking available it would release the P to find another
available G. In the case where there was no work the P would drop
into findrunnable which would execute the mark helper G which would
immediately return and the P would drop into findrunnable again repeating
the process. Since the P was always given a G to run it never blocks.
This CL first checks if the GC mark helper G has available work and if
not the P immediately falls through to its blocking logic.

Currently setGCPercent sets heapminimum to heapminimum*GOGC/100. The
real intent is to set heapminimum to a scaled multiple of a fixed
default heap minimum, not to scale heapminimum based on its current
value. This turns out to be okay because setGCPercent is only called
once and heapminimum is initially set to this default heap minimum.
However, the code as written is confusing, especially since
setGCPercent is otherwise written so it could be called again to
change GOGC. Fix this by introducing a defaultHeapMinimum constant and
using this instead of the current value of heapminimum to compute the
scaled heap minimum.

As part of this, this commit improves the documentation on
heapminimum.

Currently, forEachP reuses the stopwait and stopnote fields from
stopTheWorld to track how many Ps have not responded to the safe-point
request and to sleep until all Ps have responded.

It was assumed this was safe because both stopTheWorld and forEachP
must occur under the worlsema and hence stopwait and stopnote cannot
be used for both purposes simultaneously and callers could always
determine the appropriate use based on sched.gcwaiting (which is only
set by stopTheWorld). However, this is not the case, since it's
possible for there to be a window between when an M observes that
gcwaiting is set and when it checks stopwait during which stopwait
could have changed meanings. When this happens, the M decrements
stopwait and may wakeup stopnote, but does not otherwise participate
in the forEachP protocol. As a result, stopwait is decremented too
many times, so it may reach zero before all Ps have run the safe-point
function, causing forEachP to wake up early. It will then either
observe that some P has not run the safe-point function and panic with
"P did not run fn", or the remaining P (or Ps) will run the safe-point
function before it wakes up and it will observe that stopwait is
negative and panic with "not stopped".

Fix this problem by giving forEachP its own safePointWait and
safePointNote fields.

One known sequence of events that can cause this race is as
follows. It involves three actors:

G1 is running on M1 on P1. P1 has an empty run queue.

G2/M2 is in a blocked syscall and has lost its P. (The details of this
don't matter, it just needs to be in a position where it needs to grab
an idle P.)

GC just started on G3/M3/P3. (These aren't very involved, they just
have to be separate from the other G's, M's, and P's.)

1. GC calls stopTheWorld(), which sets sched.gcwaiting to 1.

Now G1/M1 begins to enter a syscall:

2. G1/M1 invokes reentersyscall, which sets the P1's status to
   _Psyscall.

3. G1/M1's reentersyscall observes gcwaiting != 0 and calls
   entersyscall_gcwait.

4. G1/M1's entersyscall_gcwait blocks acquiring sched.lock.

Back on GC:

5. stopTheWorld cas's P1's status to _Pgcstop, does other stuff, and
   returns.

6. GC does stuff and then calls startTheWorld().

7. startTheWorld() calls procresize(), which sets P1's status to
   _Pidle and puts P1 on the idle list.

Now G2/M2 returns from its syscall and takes over P1:

8. G2/M2 returns from its blocked syscall and gets P1 from the idle
   list.

9. G2/M2 acquires P1, which sets P1's status to _Prunning.

10. G2/M2 starts a new syscall and invokes reentersyscall, which sets
    P1's status to _Psyscall.

Back on G1/M1:

11. G1/M1 finally acquires sched.lock in entersyscall_gcwait.

At this point, G1/M1 still thinks it's running on P1. P1's status is
_Psyscall, which is consistent with what G1/M1 is doing, but it's
_Psyscall because *G2/M2* put it in to _Psyscall, not G1/M1. This is
basically an ABA race on P1's status.

Because forEachP currently shares stopwait with stopTheWorld. G1/M1's
entersyscall_gcwait observes the non-zero stopwait set by forEachP,
but mistakes it for a stopTheWorld. It cas's P1's status from
_Psyscall (set by G2/M2) to _Pgcstop and proceeds to decrement
stopwait one more time than forEachP was expecting.

Fixes #10618. (See the issue for details on why the above race is safe
when forEachP is not involved.)

Currently, startTheWorld releases worldsema before starting the
world. Since startTheWorld can change gomaxprocs after allowing Ps to
run, this means that gomaxprocs can change while another P holds
worldsema.

Unfortunately, the garbage collector and forEachP assume that holding
worldsema protects against changes in gomaxprocs (which it *almost*
does). In particular, this is causing somewhat frequent "P did not run
fn" crashes in forEachP in the runtime tests because gomaxprocs is
changing between the several loops that forEachP does over all the Ps.

Fix this by only releasing worldsema after the world is started.

This relates to issue #10618. forEachP still fails under stress
testing, but much less frequently.

keep preemption disabled until it's all done, which definitely lets us

There are several steps to stopping and starting the world and
currently they're open-coded in several places. The garbage collector
is the only thing that needs to stop and start the world in a

start the world.

This is a pure refectoring and should not change any code semantics.
In the following commits, we'll make changes that are easier to do

This commit renames the old starttheworld to startTheWorldWithSema.
This is a slight misnomer right now because the callers release
worldsema just before calling this. However, a later commit will swap
these and I don't want to think of another name in the mean time.

This commit follows up c4fe5031 by stealing directly into the current

intermediate buffer. The update to the tail pointer is only committed
once the entire steal operation has succeeded, so the semantics of

Small types record the location of pointers in their memory layout
by using a simple bitmap. In Go 1.4 the bitmap held 4-bit entries,
and in Go 1.5 the bitmap holds 1-bit entries, but in both cases using
a bitmap for a large type containing arrays does not make sense:
if someone refers to the type [1<<28]*byte in a program in such
a way that the type information makes it into the binary, it would be
a waste of space to write a 128 MB (for 4-bit entries) or even 32 MB
(for 1-bit entries) bitmap full of 1s into the binary or even to keep
one in memory during the execution of the program.

For large types containing arrays, it is much more compact to describe
the locations of pointers using a notation that can express repetition
than to lay out a bitmap of pointers. Go 1.4 included such a notation,
called ``GC programs'' but it was complex, required recursion during
decoding, and was generally slow. Dmitriy measured the execution of
these programs writing directly to the heap bitmap as being 7x slower
than copying from a preunrolled 4-bit mask (and frankly that code was
not terribly fast either). For some tests, unrollgcprog1 was seen costing
as much as 3x more than the rest of malloc combined.

This CL introduces a different form for the GC programs. They use a
simple Lempel-Ziv-style encoding of the 1-bit pointer information,
in which the only operations are (1) emit the following n bits
and (2) repeat the last n bits c more times. This encoding can be
generated directly from the Go type information (using repetition
only for arrays or large runs of non-pointer data) and it can be decoded
very efficiently. In particular the decoding requires little state and
no recursion, so that the entire decoding can run without any memory
accesses other than the reads of the encoding and the writes of the
decoded form to the heap bitmap. For recursive types like arrays of
arrays of arrays, the inner instructions are only executed once, not
n times, so that large repetitions run at full speed. (In contrast, large
repetitions in the old programs repeated the individual bit-level layout
of the inner data over and over.) The result is as much as 25x faster
decoding compared to the old form.

Because the old decoder was so slow, Go 1.4 had three (or so) cases
for how to set the heap bitmap bits for an allocation of a given type:

(1) If the type had an even number of words up to 32 words, then
the 4-bit pointer mask for the type fit in no more than 16 bytes;
store the 4-bit pointer mask directly in the binary and copy from it.

(1b) If the type had an odd number of words up to 15 words, then
the 4-bit pointer mask for the type, doubled to end on a byte boundary,
fit in no more than 16 bytes; store that doubled mask directly in the
binary and copy from it.

(2) If the type had an even number of words up to 128 words,
or an odd number of words up to 63 words (again due to doubling),
then the 4-bit pointer mask would fit in a 64-byte unrolled mask.
Store a GC program in the binary, but leave space in the BSS for
the unrolled mask. Execute the GC program to construct the mask the
first time it is needed, and thereafter copy from the mask.

(3) Otherwise, store a GC program and execute it to write directly to
the heap bitmap each time an object of that type is allocated.
(This is the case that was 7x slower than the other two.)

Because the new pointer masks store 1-bit entries instead of 4-bit
entries and because using the decoder no longer carries a significant
overhead, after this CL (that is, for Go 1.5) there are only two cases:

(1) If the type is 128 words or less (no condition about odd or even),
store the 1-bit pointer mask directly in the binary and use it to
initialize the heap bitmap during malloc. (Implemented in CL 9702.)

(2) There is no case 2 anymore.

(3) Otherwise, store a GC program and execute it to write directly to
the heap bitmap each time an object of that type is allocated.

Executing the GC program directly into the heap bitmap (case (3) above)
was disabled for the Go 1.5 dev cycle, both to avoid needing to use
GC programs for typedmemmove and to avoid updating that code as
the heap bitmap format changed. Typedmemmove no longer uses this
type information; as of CL 9886 it uses the heap bitmap directly.
Now that the heap bitmap format is stable, we reintroduce GC programs
and their space savings.

The above compares always using a cached pointer mask (and the
corresponding waste of memory) against using the programs directly.
Some slowdown is expected, in exchange for having a better general algorithm.
The GC programs kick in for SetTypeNode128, SetTypeNode130, SetTypeNode1024,
along with the slice variants of those.
It is possible that the cutoff of 128 words (bits) should be raised
in a followup CL, but even with this low cutoff the GC programs are
faster than Go 1.4's "fast path" non-GC program case.

SetTypeNode124 uses a 124 data + 2 ptr = 126-word allocation.
Both Go 1.4 and this CL are using pointer bitmaps for this case,
so that's an overall 3x speedup for using pointer bitmaps.

SetTypeNode128 uses a 128 data + 2 ptr = 130-word allocation.
Both Go 1.4 and this CL are running the GC program for this case,
so that's an overall 17x speedup when using GC programs (and
I've seen >20x on other systems).

Comparing Go 1.4's SetTypeNode124 (pointer bitmap) against
this CL's SetTypeNode128 (GC program), the slow path in the
code in this CL is 2x faster than the fast path in Go 1.4.

The Go 1 benchmarks are basically unaffected compared to just before this CL.

This CL is a bit larger than I would like, but the compiler, linker, runtime,
and package reflect all need to be in sync about the format of these programs,
so there is no easy way to split this into independent changes (at least
while keeping the build working at each change).

Fixes #9625.
Fixes #10524.

The Template objects are supposed to be goroutine-safe once they
have been parsed. This includes the text and html ones.

For html/template, the escape mechanism is triggered at execution
time. It may alter the internal structures of the template, so
a mutex protects them against concurrent accesses.

The text/template package is free of any synchronization primitive.

A race condition may occur when nested templates are escaped:
the escape algorithm alters the function maps of the associated
text templates, while a concurrent template execution may access
the function maps in read mode.

The less invasive fix I have found is to introduce a RWMutex in
text/template to protect the function maps. This is unfortunate
but it should be effective.

Fixes #9945

This allows the removal of a fudge in data.go.

We have to defer the calls to adddynlib on non-Darwin until after we have
decided whether we are externally or internally linking.  The Macho/ELF
separation could do with some cleaning up, but: code freeze.

Fixing this once rather than per-arch is what inspired the previous CLs.

The previous implementation spawned an extra goroutine to handle
rechecking resolv.conf for changes.

This change eliminates the extra goroutine, and has rechecking
done as part of a lookup.  A side effect of this change is that the
first lookup after a resolv.conf change will now succeed, whereas
previously it would have failed.  It also fixes rechecking logic to
ignore resolv.conf parsing errors as it should.
