      runtime: do not zero terminate strings · 9fa9613e
      Dmitriy Vyukov authored
      On top of "tiny allocator" (cl/38750047), reduces number of allocs by 1% on json.
      No code must rely on zero termination. So will also make debugging simpler,
      by uncovering issues earlier.

      rest of the metrics are too noisy.

      cmd/gc: add zeroing to enable precise stack accounting · a81692e2
      Russ Cox authored
      There is more zeroing than I would like right now -
      temporaries used for the new map and channel runtime
      calls need to be eliminated - but it will do for now.
      
      This CL only has an effect if you are building with
      
              GOEXPERIMENT=precisestack ./all.bash
      
      (or make.bash). It costs about 5% in the overall time
      spent in all.bash. That number will come down before
      we make it on by default, but this should be enough for
      Keith to try using the precise maps for copying stacks.
      
      amd64 only (and it's not really great generated code).

      liblink, runtime: fix cgo on arm · b377c9c6
      Russ Cox authored
      The addition of TLS to ARM rewrote the MRC instruction
      differently depending on whether we were using internal
      or external linking mode. That's clearly not okay, since we
      don't know that during compilation, which is when we now
      generate the code. Also, because the change did not introduce
      a real MRC instruction but instead just macro-expanded it
      in the assembler, liblink is rewriting a WORD instruction that
      may actually be looking for that specific constant, which would
      lead to very unexpected results. It was also using one value
      that happened to be 8 where a different value that also
      happened to be 8 belonged. So the code was correct for those
      values but not correct in general, and very confusing.
      
      Throw it all away.
      
      Replace with the following. There is a linker-provided symbol
      runtime.tlsgm with a value (address) set to the offset from the
      hardware-provided TLS base register to the g and m storage.
      Any reference to that name emits an appropriate TLS relocation
      to be resolved by either the internal linker or the external linker,
      depending on the link mode. The relocation has exactly the
      semantics of the R_ARM_TLS_LE32 relocation, which is what
      the external linker provides.
      
      This symbol is only used in two routines, runtime.load_gm and
      runtime.save_gm. In both cases it is now used like this:
      
              MRC		15, 0, R0, C13, C0, 3 // fetch TLS base pointer
              MOVW	$runtime·tlsgm(SB), R2
              ADD	R2, R0 // now R0 points at thread-local g+m storage
      
      It is likely that this change breaks the generation of shared libraries
      on ARM, because the MOVW needs to be rewritten to use the global
      offset table and a different relocation type. But let's get the supported
      functionality working again before we worry about unsupported
      functionality.

      bufio: fix benchmarks behavior · 0ad2cd00
      Dmitriy Vyukov authored
      Currently the benchmarks lie to testing package by doing O(N)
      work under StopTimer. And that hidden O(N) actually consitutes
      the bulk of benchmark work (e.g includes GC per iteration).
      This behavior accounts for windows-amd64-race builder hangs.
      
      Before:
      BenchmarkReaderCopyOptimal-4	 1000000	      1861 ns/op
      BenchmarkReaderCopyUnoptimal-4	  500000	      3327 ns/op
      BenchmarkReaderCopyNoWriteTo-4	   50000	     34549 ns/op
      BenchmarkWriterCopyOptimal-4	  100000	     16849 ns/op
      BenchmarkWriterCopyUnoptimal-4	  500000	      3126 ns/op
      BenchmarkWriterCopyNoReadFrom-4	   50000	     34609 ns/op
      ok  	bufio	65.273s
      
      After:
      BenchmarkReaderCopyOptimal-4	10000000	       172 ns/op
      BenchmarkReaderCopyUnoptimal-4	10000000	       267 ns/op
      BenchmarkReaderCopyNoWriteTo-4	  100000	     22905 ns/op
      BenchmarkWriterCopyOptimal-4	10000000	       170 ns/op
      BenchmarkWriterCopyUnoptimal-4	10000000	       226 ns/op
      BenchmarkWriterCopyNoReadFrom-4	  100000	     20575 ns/op
      ok  	bufio	14.074s
      
      Note the change in total time.

      runtime: increase page size to 8K
      Tcmalloc uses 8K, 32K and 64K pages, and in custom setups 256K pages.
      Only Chromium uses 4K pages today (in "slow but small" configuration).
      The general tendency is to increase page size, because it reduces
      metadata size and DTLB pressure.
      This change reduces GC pause by ~10% and slightly improves other metrics.
