The Go HTTP/1 client will make as many new TCP connections as the user requests. The HTTP/2 client tried to have that behavior, but the policy of whether a connection is re-usable didn't take into account the extra 1 stream counting against SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS so in practice users were getting errors. For example, if the server's advertised max concurrent streams is 100 and 200 concurrrent Go HTTP requests ask for a connection at once, all 200 will think they can reuse that TCP connection, but then 100 will fail later when the number of concurrent streams exceeds 100. Instead, recognize the "no cached connections" error value in the shouldRetryRequest method, so those 100 will retry a new connection. This is the conservative fix for Go 1.7 so users don't get errors, and to match the HTTP/1 behavior. Issues #13957 and #13774 are the more involved bugs for Go 1.8.

When compiling with -buildmode=shared, a map[int32]*_type is created for each extra module mapping duplicate types back to a canonical object. This is done in the function typelinksinit, which is called before the init function that sets up the hash functions for the map implementation. The result is typemap becomes unusable after runtime initialization. The fix in this CL is to move algorithm init before typelinksinit in the runtime setup process. (For 1.8, we may want to turn typemap into a sorted slice of types and use binary search.)

SSA compiler on AMD64 may spill Duff-adjusted address as scalar. If the object is on stack and the stack moves, the spilled address become invalid. Making the spill pointer-typed does not work. The Duff-adjusted address points to the memory before the area to be zeroed and may be invalid. This may cause stack scanning code panic. Fix it by doing Duff-adjustment in genValue, so the intermediate value is not seen by the reg allocator, and will not be spilled. Add a test to cover both cases. As it depends on allocation, it may be not always triggered. Fixes #16515.

Mutator goroutines that allocate memory during the concurrent mark phase are required to spend some time assisting the garbage collector. The magnitude of this mandatory assistance is proportional to the goroutine's allocation debt and subject to the assistance ratio as calculated by the pacer. When assisting the garbage collector, a mutator goroutine will go beyond paying off its allocation debt. It will build up extra credit to amortize the overhead of the assist. In fast-allocating applications with high assist ratios, building up this credit can take the affected goroutine's entire time slice. Reduce the penalty on each goroutine being selected to assist the GC in two ways, to spread the responsibility more evenly. First, do a consistent amount of extra scan work without regard for the pacer's assistance ratio. Second, reduce the magnitude of the extra scan work so it can be completed within a few hundred microseconds.

Update the pprof package documentation to give the standard boilerplate in a form people can copy, paste, and tweak. This boilerplate is based on rsc's 2011 blog post on profiling Go programs at https://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs, which is where I always go when I need to copy-paste the boilerplate.

From at least Go 1.4 to Go 1.6, Transport.RoundTrip would return the error value from net.Conn.Read directly when the initial Read (1 byte Peek) failed while reading the HTTP response, if a request was outstanding. While never a documented or tested promise, Go 1.7 changed the behavior (starting at https://golang.org/cl/23160). This restores the old behavior and adds a test (but no documentation promises yet) while keeping the fix for spammy logging reported in #15446. This looks larger than it is: it just changes errServerClosedConn from a variable to a type, where the type preserves the underlying net.Conn.Read error, for unwrapping later in Transport.RoundTrip.

(2) a fix to sparse lookup, that does not rely on an assumption proven false by at least one pathological input "etldlen". These two changes fix unrelated compiler performance bugs, both necessary to obtain good performance compiling etldlen.

entry: x = MOVQconst [7] ... b1: goto b2 b2: v = Phi(x, y, z) Transform that program to: entry: ... b1: x = MOVQconst [7] goto b2 b2: v = Phi(x, y, z) This CL moves constant-generating instructions used by a phi to the appropriate immediate predecessor of the phi's block. We used to put all constants in the entry block. Unfortunately, in large functions we have lots of constants at the start of the function, all of which are used by lots of phis throughout the function. This leads to the constants being live through most of the function (especially if there is an outer loop). That's an O(n^2) problem. Note that most of the non-phi uses of constants have already been folded into instructions (ADDQconst, MOVQstoreconst, etc.). This CL may be generally useful for other instances of compiler slowness, I'll have to check. It may cause some programs to run slower, but probably not by much, as rematerializeable values like these constants are allocated late (not at their originally scheduled location) anyway. This CL is definitely a minimal change that can be considered for 1.7. We probably want to do a better job in the tighten pass generally, not just for phi args. Leaving that for 1.8.

Most operations need an upper bound on the physical page size, which is what sys.PhysPageSize is for (this is checked at runtime init on Linux). However, a few operations need a *lower* bound on the physical page size. Introduce a "minPhysPageSize" constant to act as this lower bound and use it where it makes sense: 1) In addrspace_free, we have to query each page in the given range. Currently we increment by the upper bound on the physical page size, which means we may skip over pages if the true size is smaller. Worse, we currently pass a result buffer that only has enough room for one page. If there are actually multiple pages in the range passed to mincore, the kernel will overflow this buffer. Fix these problems by incrementing by the lower-bound on the physical page size and by passing "1" for the length, which the kernel will round up to the true physical page size. 2) In the write barrier, the bad pointer check tests for pointers to the first physical page, which are presumably small integers masquerading as pointers. However, if physical pages are smaller than we think, we may have legitimate pointers below sys.PhysPageSize. Hence, use minPhysPageSize for this test since pointers should never fall below that. In particular, this applies to ARM64 and MIPS. The runtime is configured to use 64kB pages on ARM64, but by default Linux uses 4kB pages. Similarly, the runtime assumes 16kB pages on MIPS, but both 4kB and 16kB kernel configurations are common. This also applies to ARM on systems where the runtime is recompiled to deal with a larger page size. It is also a step toward making the runtime use only a dynamically-queried page size.

When a non-Go thread calls into Go, the runtime needs an M to run the Go code. The runtime keeps a list of extra M's available. When the last extra M is allocated, the needextram field is set to tell it to allocate a new extra M as soon as it is running in Go. This ensures that an extra M will always be available for the next thread. However, if many threads need an extra M at the same time, this serializes them all. One thread will get an extra M with the needextram field set. All the other threads will see that there is no M available and will go to sleep. The one thread that succeeded will create a new extra M. One lucky thread will get it. All the other threads will see that there is no M available and will go to sleep. The effect is thundering herd, as all the threads looking for an extra M go through the process one by one. This seems to have a particularly bad effect on the FreeBSD scheduler for some reason. With this change, we track the number of threads waiting for an M, and create all of them as soon as one thread gets through. This still means that all the threads will fight for the lock to pick up the next M. But at least each thread that gets the lock will succeed, instead of going to sleep only to fight again. This smooths out the performance greatly on FreeBSD, reducing the average wall time of `testprogcgo CgoCallbackGC` by 74%. On GNU/Linux the average wall time goes down by 9%.
