      runtime: fix assist utilization computation · e3870aa6
      Austin Clements authored 
      When commit 510fd135 enabled assists during the scan phase, it failed
to also update the code in the GC controller that computed the assist
CPU utilization and adjusted the trigger based on it. Fix that code so
it uses the start of the scan phase as the wall-clock time when
assists were enabled rather than the start of the mark phase.

      runtime: revise assist ratio aggressively · 1fb01a88
      Austin Clements authored 
      At the start of a GC cycle, the garbage collector computes the assist
ratio based on the total scannable heap size. This was intended to be
conservative; after all, this assumes the entire heap may be reachable
and hence needs to be scanned. But it only assumes that the *current*
entire heap may be reachable. It fails to account for heap allocated
during the GC cycle. If the trigger ratio is very low (near zero), and
most of the heap is reachable when GC starts (which is likely if the
trigger ratio is near zero), then it's possible for the mutator to
create new, reachable heap fast enough that the assists won't keep up
based on the assist ratio computed at the beginning of the cycle. As a
result, the heap can grow beyond the heap goal (by hundreds of megs in
stress tests like in issue #11911).

We already have some vestigial logic for dealing with situations like
this; it just doesn't run often enough. Currently, every 10 ms during
the GC cycle, the GC revises the assist ratio. This was put in before
we switched to a conservative assist ratio (when we really were using
estimates of scannable heap), and it turns out to be exactly what we
need now. However, every 10 ms is far too infrequent for a rapidly
allocating mutator.

This commit reuses this logic, but replaces the 10 ms timer with
revising the assist ratio every time the heap is locked, which
coincides precisely with when the statistics used to compute the
assist ratio are updated.

Fixes #11911.

      runtime: make sweep proportional to spans bytes allocated · fc9ca85f
      Austin Clements authored 
      Proportional concurrent sweep is currently based on a ratio of spans
to be swept per bytes of object allocation. However, proportional
sweeping is performed during span allocation, not object allocation,
in order to minimize contention and overhead. Since objects are
allocated from spans after those spans are allocated, the system tends
to operate in debt, which means when the next GC cycle starts, there
is often sweep debt remaining, so GC has to finish the sweep, which
delays the start of the cycle and delays enabling mutator assists.

For example, it's quite likely that many Ps will simultaneously refill
their span caches immediately after a GC cycle (because GC flushes the
span caches), but at this point, there has been very little object
allocation since the end of GC, so very little sweeping is done. The
Ps then allocate objects from these cached spans, which drives up the
bytes of object allocation, but since these allocations are coming
from cached spans, nothing considers whether more sweeping has to
happen. If the sweep ratio is high enough (which can happen if the
next GC trigger is very close to the retained heap size), this can
easily represent a sweep debt of thousands of pages.

Fix this by making proportional sweep proportional to the number of
bytes of spans allocated, rather than the number of bytes of objects
allocated. Prior to allocating a span, both the small object path and
the large object path ensure credit for allocating that span, so the
system operates in the black, rather than in the red.

Combined with the previous commit, this should eliminate all sweeping
from GC start up. On the stress test in issue #11911, this reduces the
time spent sweeping during GC (and delaying start up) by several
orders of magnitude:

                mean    99%ile     max
    pre fix      1 ms    11 ms   144 ms
    post fix   270 ns   735 ns   916 ns

Updates #11911.

      runtime: always give concurrent sweep some heap distance · e30c6d64
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently it's possible for the next_gc heap size trigger computed for
the next GC cycle to be less than the current allocated heap size.
This means the next cycle will start immediately, which means there's
no time to perform the concurrent sweep between GC cycles. This places
responsibility for finishing the sweep on GC itself, which delays GC
start-up and hence delays mutator assist.

Fix this by ensuring that next_gc is always at least a little higher
than the allocated heap size, so we won't trigger the next cycle
instantly.

Updates #11911.

      runtime: assist the GC during GC startup and shutdown · fb5230af
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently there are two sensitive periods during which a mutator can
allocate past the heap goal but mutator assists can't be enabled: 1)
at the beginning of GC between when the heap first passes the heap
trigger and sweep termination and 2) at the end of GC between mark
termination and when the background GC goroutine parks. During these
periods there's no back-pressure or safety net, so a rapidly
allocating mutator can allocate past the heap goal. This is
exacerbated if there are many goroutines because the GC coordinator is
scheduled as any other goroutine, so if it gets preempted during one
of these periods, it may stay preempted for a long period (10s or 100s
of milliseconds).

Normally the mutator does scan work to create back-pressure against
allocation, but there is no scan work during these periods. Hence, as
a fall back, if a mutator would assist but can't yet, simply yield the
CPU. This delays the mutator somewhat, but more importantly gives more
CPU time to the GC coordinator for it to complete the transition.

This is obviously a workaround. Issue #11970 suggests a far better but
far more invasive way to fix this.

Updates #11911. (This very nearly fixes the issue, but about once
every 15 minutes I get a GC cycle where the assists are enabled but
don't do enough work.)

      runtime: recheck GC trigger before actually starting GC · 88e945fd
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently allocation checks the GC trigger speculatively during
allocation and then triggers the GC without rechecking. As a result,
it's possible for G 1 and G 2 to detect the trigger simultaneously,
both enter startGC, G 1 actually starts GC while G 2 gets preempted
until after the whole GC cycle, then G 2 immediately starts another GC
cycle even though the heap is now well under the trigger.

Fix this by re-checking the GC trigger non-speculatively just before
actually kicking off a new GC cycle.

This contributes to #11911 because when this happens, we definitely
don't finish the background sweep before starting the next GC cycle,
which can significantly delay the start of concurrent scan.

The caller must keep the inode references and set TypeLink, Size = 0,
and LinkName themselves.

      go/types: remove the renaming import of go/constant · ecead89b
      Rob Pike authored 
      For niceness, when go/exact was moved from x/tools, it
was renamed go/constant.

For simplicity, when go/types was moved from x/tools, its
imports of (now) go/constant were done with a rename:

    import exact "go/constant"

This kept the code just as it was before and avoided the issue
of what to call the internal constant called, um, constant.

But not all was hidden, as the text of some fields of structs and
the like leaked the old name, so things like "exact.Value" appeared
in type definitions and function signatures in the documentation.
This is unacceptable.

Fix the documentation issue by fixing the code. Rename the constant
constant constant_, and remove the renaming import.

This should go into 1.5. It's mostly a mechanical change, is
internal to the package, and fixes the documentation. It contains
no semantic changes except to fix a benchmark that was broken
in the original transition.

Fixes #11949.
