      runtime: use per-goroutine sequence numbers in tracer · a3703618
      Dmitry Vyukov authored 
      Currently tracer uses global sequencer and it introduces
significant slowdown on parallel machines (up to 10x).
Replace the global sequencer with per-goroutine sequencer.

If we assign per-goroutine sequence numbers to only 3 types
of events (start, unblock and syscall exit), it is enough to
restore consistent partial ordering of all events. Even these
events don't need sequence numbers all the time (if goroutine
starts on the same P where it was unblocked, then start does
not need sequence number).
The burden of restoring the order is put on trace parser.
Details of the algorithm are described in the comments.

On http benchmark with GOMAXPROCS=48:
no tracing: 5026 ns/op
tracing: 27803 ns/op (+453%)
with this change: 6369 ns/op (+26%, mostly for traceback)

Also trace size is reduced by ~22%. Average event size before: 4.63
bytes/event, after: 3.62 bytes/event.

Besides running trace tests, I've also tested with manually broken
cputicks (random skew for each event, per-P skew and episodic random skew).
In all cases broken timestamps were detected and no test failures.

      runtime: eliminate floating garbage estimate · c8bd293e
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently when we compute the trigger for the next GC, we do it based
on an estimate of the reachable heap size at the start of the GC
cycle, which is itself based on an estimate of the floating garbage.
This was introduced by 4655aadd to fix a bad feedback loop that allowed
the heap to grow to many times the true reachable size.

However, this estimate gets easily confused by rapidly allocating
applications, and, worse it's different than the heap size the trigger
controller uses to compute the trigger itself. This results in the
trigger controller often thinking that GC finished before it started.
Since this would be a pretty great outcome from it's perspective, it
sets the trigger for the next cycle as close to the next goal as
possible (which is limited to 95% of the goal).

Furthermore, the bad feedback loop this estimate originally fixed
seems not to happen any more, suggesting it was fixed more correctly
by some other change in the mean time. Finally, with the change to
allocate black, it shouldn't even be theoretically possible for this
bad feedback loop to occur.

Hence, eliminate the floating garbage estimate and simply consider the
reachable heap to be the marked heap. This harms overall throughput
slightly for allocation-heavy benchmarks, but significantly improves
mutator availability.

Fixes #12204. This brings the average trigger in this benchmark from
0.95 (the cap) to 0.7 and the active GC utilization from ~90% to ~45%.

Updates #14951. This makes the trigger controller much better behaved,
so it pulls the trigger lower if assists are consuming a lot of CPU
like it's supposed to, increasing mutator availability.

      runtime: allocate black during GC · 6002e01e
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently we allocate white for most of concurrent marking. This is
based on the classical argument that it produces less floating
garbage, since allocations during GC may not get linked into the heap
and allocating white lets us reclaim these. However, it's not clear
how often this actually happens, especially since our write barrier
shades any pointer as soon as it's installed in the heap regardless of
the color of the slot.

On the other hand, allocating black has several advantages that seem
to significantly outweigh this downside.

1) It naturally bounds the total scan work to the live heap size at
the start of a GC cycle. Allocating white does not, and thus depends
entirely on assists to prevent the heap from growing faster than it
can be scanned.

2) It reduces the total amount of scan work per GC cycle by the size
of newly allocated objects that are linked into the heap graph, since
objects allocated black never need to be scanned.

3) It reduces total write barrier work since more objects will already
be black when they are linked into the heap graph.

This gives a slight overall improvement in benchmarks.

      runtime: simplify/optimize allocate-black a bit · 64a26b79
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently allocating black switches to the system stack (which is
probably a historical accident) and atomically updates the global
bytes marked stat. Since we're about to depend on this much more,
optimize it a bit by putting it back on the regular stack and updating
the per-P bytes marked stat, which gets lazily folded into the global
bytes marked stat.
