      cmd/compile: don't bother compiling functions named "_" · 1fb59614
      Keith Randall authored
      They can't be used, so we don't need code generated for them. We just
      need to report errors in their bodies.
      
      This is the minimal CL for 1.12. For 1.13, CL 158845 will remove
      a bunch of special cases sprinkled about the compiler to handle "_"
      functions, which should (after this CL) be unnecessary.

      crypto/subtle: normalize constant time ops docs · ef82ecd0
      Filippo Valsorda authored
      ConstantTimeCompare is fairly useless if you can't rely on it being zero
      when the slices are different, but thankfully it has that property
      thanks to the final ConstantTimeByteEq.

      cmd/go: copy missing bit of documentation about code generated comment · 8d2e65d2
      Dmitri Shuralyov authored
      This CL attempts to restore the clarity of the original specification
      at https://golang.org/s/generatedcode that the line may appear
      anywhere. It is preferable (for human readability), and most common
      for it to be early in the file, but that is merely a convention, not
      a strict well-specified requirement. Document it as so.
      
      Background
      
      Issue #13560 was a proposal define a standard for marking files as
      generated, one that is suitable to be recognized both by humans
      and machine tools. It was accepted, and the final specification
      was documented at https://golang.org/s/generatedcode. Its text,
      copied exactly:
      
      	Generated files are marked by a line of text that matches
      	the regular expression, in Go syntax:
      
      		^// Code generated .* DO NOT EDIT\.$
      
      	The .* means the tool can put whatever folderol it wants in there,
      	but the comment must be a single line and must start with Code generated
      	and end with DO NOT EDIT., with a period.
      
      	The text may appear anywhere in the file.
      
      The https://golang.org/s/generatedcode link points to a comment
      in a very large GitHub issue. That makes it harder to find.
      Issue #25433 was opened about moving that information somewhere else.
      It was resolved via CL 118756, which added text to cmd/go documentation
      at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Generate_Go_files_by_processing_source:
      
      	To convey to humans and machine tools that code is generated,
      	generated source should have a line early in the file that
      	matches the following regular expression (in Go syntax):
      
      		^// Code generated .* DO NOT EDIT\.$
      
      The CL description noted that "This change merely moves that
      information to a more visible place." The intention was to preserve
      the specification unmodified.
      
      The original specification was very clear that "The text may appear
      anywhere in the file." The new text in cmd/go documentation wasn't
      very clear. "A line early in the file" is not a precise enough criteria
      to be recognized by a machine tool, because there isn't a precise
      definition of what lines are "early in the file".

      runtime: don't coalesce scavenged spans with unscavenged spans · 6e9f664b
      Michael Anthony Knyszek authored
      As a result of changes earlier in Go 1.12, the scavenger became much
      more aggressive. In particular, when scavenged and unscavenged spans
      coalesced, they would always become scavenged. This resulted in most
      spans becoming scavenged over time. While this is good for keeping the
      RSS of the program low, it also causes many more undue page faults and
      many more calls to madvise.
      
      For most applications, the impact of this was negligible. But for
      applications that repeatedly grow and shrink the heap by large amounts,
      the overhead can be significant. The overhead was especially obvious on
      older versions of Linux where MADV_FREE isn't available and
      MADV_DONTNEED must be used.
      
      This change makes it so that scavenged spans will never coalesce with
      unscavenged spans. This  results in fewer page faults overall. Aside
      from this, the expected impact of this change is more heap growths on
      average, as span allocations will be less likely to be fulfilled. To
      mitigate this slightly, this change also coalesces spans eagerly after
      scavenging, to at least ensure that all scavenged spans and all
      unscavenged spans are coalesced with each other.
      
      Also, this change adds additional logic in the case where two adjacent
      spans cannot coalesce. In this case, on platforms where the physical
      page size is larger than the runtime's page size, we realign the
      boundary between the two adjacent spans to a physical page boundary. The
      advantage of this approach is that "unscavengable" spans, that is, spans
      which cannot be scavenged because they don't cover at least a single
      physical page are grown to a size where they have a higher likelihood of
      being discovered by the runtime's scavenging mechanisms when they border
      a scavenged span. This helps prevent the runtime from accruing pockets
      of "unscavengable" memory in between scavenged spans, preventing them
      from coalescing.
      
      We specifically choose to apply this logic to all spans because it
      simplifies the code, even though it isn't strictly necessary. The
      expectation is that this change will result in a slight loss in
      performance on platforms where the physical page size is larger than the
      runtime page size.
      
      Update #14045.

      runtime: de-duplicate coalescing code · 2f99e889
      Michael Anthony Knyszek authored
      Currently the code surrounding coalescing is duplicated between merging
      with the span before the span considered for coalescing and merging with
      the span after. This change factors out the shared portions of these
      codepaths into a local closure which acts as a helper.
