    runtime: allocate heap metadata at run time · 8a6ff3ab
    Russ Cox authored
    Before, the mheap structure was in the bss,
    but it's quite large (today, 256 MB, much of
    which is never actually paged in), and it makes
    Go binaries run afoul of exec-time bss size
    limits on some BSD systems.
    
    Fixes #4447.
