      database/sql: clone data for named []byte types · 4e0cd1ee
      Kevin Burke authored
      Previously named byte types like json.RawMessage could get dirty
      database memory from a call to Scan. These types would activate a
      code path that didn't clone the byte data coming from the database
      before assigning it. Another thread could then overwrite the byte
      array in src, which has unexpected consequences.
      
      Originally reported by Jason Moiron; the patch and test are his
      suggestions. Fixes #13905.

      runtime: reclaim scan/dead bit in first word · a20fd1f6
      Austin Clements authored
      With the switch to separate mark bitmaps, the scan/dead bit for the
      first word of each object is now unused. Reclaim this bit and use it
      as a scan/dead bit, just like words three and on. The second word is
      still used for checkmark.
      
      This dramatically simplifies heapBitsSetTypeNoScan and hasPointers,
      since they no longer need different cases for 1, 2, and 3+ word
      objects. They can instead just manipulate the heap bitmap for the
      first word and be done with it.
      
      In order to enable this, we change heapBitsSetType and runGCProg to
      always set the scan/dead bit to scan for the first word on every code
      path. Since these functions only apply to types that have pointers,
      there's no need to do this conditionally: it's *always* necessary to
      set the scan bit in the first word.
      
      We also change every place that scans an object and checks if there
      are more pointers. Rather than only checking morePointers if the word
      is >= 2, we now check morePointers if word != 1 (since that's the
      checkmark word).
      
      Looking forward, we should probably reclaim the checkmark bit, too,
      but that's going to be quite a bit more work.
      
      Tested by setting doubleCheck in heapBitsSetType and running all.bash
      on both linux/amd64 and linux/386, and by running GOGC=10 all.bash.
      
      This particularly improves the FmtFprintf* go1 benchmarks, since they
      do a large amount of noscan allocation.

      This CL is the support.
      
      This CL has not been tested for real C code, as a working context
      function for C code requires unwind support that does not seem to exist.
      I wanted to get the CL out before the freeze.
      
      I apologize for the length of this CL.  It's mostly plumbing, but
      unfortunately the plumbing is processor-specific.

      crypto/cipher, crypto/aes: add s390x implementation of AES-CTR · c717675c
      Michael Munday authored
      This commit adds the new 'ctrAble' interface to the crypto/cipher
      package. The role of ctrAble is the same as gcmAble but for CTR
      instead of GCM. It allows block ciphers to provide optimized CTR
      implementations.
      
      The primary benefit of adding CTR support to the s390x AES
      implementation is that it allows us to encrypt the counter values
      in bulk, giving the cipher message instruction a larger chunk of
      data to work on per invocation.
      
      The xorBytes assembly is necessary because xorBytes becomes a
      bottleneck when CTR is done in this way. Hopefully it will be
      possible to remove this once s390x has migrated to the ssa
      backend.

      [dev.garbage] runtime: revive sweep fast path · b3579c09
      Austin Clements authored
      sweep used to skip mcental.freeSpan (and its locking) if it didn't
      find any new free objects. We lost that optimization when the
      freed-object counting changed in dad83f7 to count total free objects
      instead of newly freed objects.
      
      The previous commit brings back counting of newly freed objects, so we
      can easily revive this optimization by checking that count (like we
      used to) instead of the total free objects count.

      [dev.garbage] runtime: fix nfree accounting · d97625ae
      Austin Clements authored
      Commit 8dda1c4c changed the meaning of "nfree" in sweep from the number
      of newly freed objects to the total number of free objects in the
      span, but didn't update where sweep added nfree to c.local_nsmallfree.
      Hence, we're over-accounting the number of frees. This is causing
      TestArrayHash to fail with "too many allocs NNN - hash not balanced".
      
      Fix this by computing the number of newly freed objects and adding
      that to c.local_nsmallfree, so it behaves like it used to. Computing
      this requires a small tweak to mallocgc: apparently we've never set
      s.allocCount when allocating a large object; fix this by setting it to
      1 so sweep doesn't get confused.

      [dev.garbage] runtime: fix allocfreetrace · 6d114905
      Austin Clements authored
      We broke tracing of freed objects in GODEBUG=allocfreetrace=1 mode
      when we removed the sweep over the mark bitmap. Fix it by
      re-introducing the sweep over the bitmap specifically if we're in
      allocfreetrace mode. This doesn't have to be even remotely efficient,
      since the overhead of allocfreetrace is huge anyway, so we can keep
      the code for this down to just a few lines.

      [dev.garbage] runtime: reintroduce no-zeroing optimization · 38f67468
      Austin Clements authored
      Currently we always zero objects when we allocate them. We used to
      have an optimization that would not zero objects that had not been
      allocated since the whole span was last zeroed (either by getting it
      from the system or by getting it from the heap, which does a bulk
      zero), but this depended on the sweeper clobbering the first two words
      of each object. Hence, we lost this optimization when the bitmap
      sweeper went away.
      
      Re-introduce this optimization using a different mechanism. Each span
      already keeps a flag indicating that it just came from the OS or was
      just bulk zeroed by the mheap. We can simply use this flag to know
      when we don't need to zero an object. This is slightly less efficient
      than the old optimization: if a span gets allocated and partially
      used, then GC happens and the span gets returned to the mcentral, then
      the span gets re-acquired, the old optimization knew that it only had
      to re-zero the objects that had been reclaimed, whereas this
      optimization will re-zero everything. However, in this case, you're
      already paying for the garbage collection, and you've only wasted one
      zeroing of the span, so in practice there seems to be little
      difference. (If we did want to revive the full optimization, each span
      could keep track of a frontier beyond which all free slots are zeroed.
      I prototyped this and it didn't obvious do any better than the much
      simpler approach in this commit.)
      
      This significantly improves BinaryTree17, which is allocation-heavy
      (and runs first, so most pages are already zeroed), and slightly
      improves everything else.

      compress/flate: use a constant hash table size for Best Speed. · 1fb4e4de
      Nigel Tao authored
      This makes compress/flate's version of Snappy diverge from the upstream
      golang/snappy version, but the latter has a goal of matching C++ snappy
      output byte-for-byte. Both C++ and the asm version of golang/snappy can
      use a smaller N for the O(N) zero-initialization of the hash table when
      the input is small, even if the pure Go golang/snappy algorithm cannot:
      "var table [tableSize]uint16" zeroes all tableSize elements.
      
      For this package, we don't have the match-C++-snappy goal, so we can use
      a different (constant) hash table size.
      
      This is a small win, in terms of throughput and output size, but it also
      enables us to re-use the (constant size) hash table between
      encodeBestSpeed calls, avoiding the cost of zero-initializing the hash
      table altogether. This will be implemented in follow-up commits.
