      runtime: don't hard-code physical page size · 6dda7b2f
      Austin Clements authored 
      Now that the runtime fetches the true physical page size from the OS,
make the physical page size used by heap growth a variable instead of
a constant. This isn't used in any performance-critical paths, so it
shouldn't be an issue.

sys.PhysPageSize is also renamed to sys.DefaultPhysPageSize to make it
clear that it's not necessarily the true page size. There are no uses
of this constant any more, but we'll keep it around for now.

Updates #12480 and #10180.

      runtime: fetch physical page size from the OS · 276a52de
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently the physical page size assumed by the runtime is hard-coded.
On Linux the runtime at least fetches the OS page size during init and
sanity checks against the hard-coded value, but they may still differ.
On other OSes we wouldn't even notice.

Add support on all OSes to fetch the actual OS physical page size
during runtime init and lift the sanity check of PhysPageSize from the
Linux init code to general malloc init. Currently this is the only use
of the retrieved page size, but we'll add more shortly.

Updates #12480 and #10180.

      runtime: assume 64kB physical pages on ARM · d7de8b6d
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently we assume the physical page size on ARM is 4kB. While this
is usually true, the architecture also supports 16kB and 64kB physical
pages, and Linux (and possibly other OSes) can be configured to use
these larger page sizes.

With Go 1.6, such a configuration could potentially run, but generally
resulted in memory corruption or random panics. With current master,
this configuration will cause the runtime to panic during init on
Linux when it checks the true physical page size (and will still cause
corruption or panics on other OSes).

However, the assumed physical page size only has to be a multiple of
the true physical page size, the scavenger can now deal with large
physical page sizes, and the rest of the runtime can deal with a
larger assumed physical page size than the true size. Hence, there's
little disadvantage to conservatively setting the assumed physical
page size to 64kB on ARM.

This may result in some extra memory use, since we can only return
memory at multiples of the assumed physical page size. However, it is
a simple change that should make Go run on systems configured for
larger page sizes. The following commits will make the runtime query
the actual physical page size from the OS, but this is a simple step
there.

Updates #12480.

      runtime: bound scanobject to ~100 µs · cf4f1d07
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently the time spent in scanobject is proportional to the size of
the object being scanned. Since scanobject is non-preemptible, large
objects can cause significant goroutine (and even whole application)
delays through several means:

1. If a GC assist picks up a large object, the allocating goroutine is
   blocked for the whole scan, even if that scan well exceeds that
   goroutine's debt.

2. Since the scheduler does not run on the P performing a large object
   scan, goroutines in that P's run queue do not run unless they are
   stolen by another P (which can take some time). If there are a few
   large objects, all of the Ps may get tied up so the scheduler
   doesn't run anywhere.

3. Even if a large object is scanned by a background worker and other
   Ps are still running the scheduler, the large object scan doesn't
   flush background credit until the whole scan is done. This can
   easily cause all allocations to block in assists, waiting for
   credit, causing an effective STW.

Fix this by splitting large objects into 128 KB "oblets" and scanning
at most one oblet at a time. Since we can scan 1–2 MB/ms, this equates
to bounding scanobject at roughly 100 µs. This improves assist
behavior both because assists can no longer get "unlucky" and be stuck
scanning a large object, and because it causes the background worker
to flush credit and unblock assists more frequently when scanning
large objects. This also improves GC parallelism if the heap consists
primarily of a small number of very large objects by letting multiple
workers scan a large objects in parallel.

Fixes #10345. Fixes #16293.

This substantially improves goroutine latency in the benchmark from
issue #16293, which exercises several forms of very large objects:

This has negligible effect on all metrics from the garbage, JSON, and

It shows slight improvement on some of the go1 benchmarks,
particularly Revcomp, which uses some multi-megabyte buffers:

      math: fix sqrt regression on AMD64 · 6e703ae7
      Ilya Tocar authored 
      1.7 introduced a significant regression compared to 1.6:

SqrtIndirect-4  2.32ns ± 0%  7.86ns ± 0%  +238.79%        (p=0.000 n=20+18)

This is caused by sqrtsd preserving upper part of destination register.
Which introduces dependency on previous  value of X0.
In 1.6 benchmark loop didn't use X0 immediately after call:

callq  *%rbx
movsd  0x8(%rsp),%xmm2
movsd  0x20(%rsp),%xmm1
addsd  %xmm2,%xmm1
mov    0x18(%rsp),%rax
inc    %rax
jmp    loop

In 1.7 however xmm0 is used just after call:

callq  *%rbx
mov    0x10(%rsp),%rcx
lea    0x1(%rcx),%rax
movsd  0x8(%rsp),%xmm0
movsd  0x18(%rsp),%xmm1

I've  verified that this is caused by dependency, by inserting
XORPS X0,X0 in the beginning of math.Sqrt, which puts performance back on 1.6 level.

Splitting SQRTSD mem,reg into:
MOVSD mem,reg
SQRTSD reg,reg

Removes dependency, because MOVSD (load version)
doesn't need to preserve upper part of a register.
And reg,reg operation is solved by renamer in CPU.

As a result of this change regression is gone:
SqrtIndirect-4  7.86ns ± 0%  2.33ns ± 0%  -70.36%  (p=0.000 n=18+17)

This also removes old Sqrt benchmarks, in favor of benchmarks measuring latency.
Only SqrtIndirect is kept, to show impact of this patch.
