      syscall: use CLONE_VFORK and CLONE_VM · 9e6b79a5
      Richard Musiol authored 
      This greatly improves the latency of starting a child process when
the Go process is using a lot of memory. Even though the kernel uses
copy-on-write, preparation for that can take up to several 100ms under
certain conditions. All other goroutines are suspended while starting
a subprocess so this latency directly affects total throughput.

With CLONE_VM the child process shares the same memory with the parent
process. On its own this would lead to conflicting use of the same
memory, so CLONE_VFORK is used to suspend the parent process until the
child releases the memory when switching to to the new program binary
via the exec syscall. When the parent process continues to run, one
has to consider the changes to memory that the child process did,
namely the return address of the syscall function needs to be restored
from a register.

A simple benchmark has shown a difference in latency of 16ms vs. 0.5ms
at 10GB memory usage. However, much higher latencies of several 100ms
have been observed in real world scenarios. For more information see
comments on #5838.

Fixes #5838

      encoding/xml: unmarshal allow empty, non-string values · 0a0186fb
      Sarah Adams authored 
      When unmarshaling, if an element is empty, eg. '<tag></tag>', and
destination type is int, uint, float or bool, do not attempt to parse
value (""). Set to its zero value instead.

Fixes #13417

      net/http: improve speed of default mux · 1295b745
      Kenny Grant authored 
      The DefaultServeMux included in net/http uses a map to store routes,
but iterates all keys for every request to allow longer paths.

This change checks the map for an exact match first.

To check performance was better, BenchmarkServeMux has been added -
this adds >100 routes and checks the matches.

Exact matches are faster and more predictable on this benchmark
and on most existing package benchmarks.
