this implements option (b), having the server pause slightly after
sending the final response on a TCP connection when we're about to close
it when we know there's a request body outstanding. This biases the

Currently we enter mark 2 by first flushing all existing gcWork caches
and then setting gcBlackenPromptly, which disables further gcWork
caching. However, if a worker or assist pulls a work buffer in to its
gcWork cache after that cache has been flushed but before caching is
disabled, that work may remain in that cache until mark termination.
If that work represents a heap bottleneck (e.g., a single pointer that
is the only way to reach a large amount of the heap), this can force
mark termination to do a large amount of work, resulting in a long
STW.

Fix this by reversing the order of these steps: first disable caching,
then flush all existing caches.

Rick Hudson <rlh> did the hard work of tracking this down. This CL
combined with CL 12672 and CL 12646 distills the critical parts of his

Currently the GC coordinator enables GC assists at the same time it
enables background mark workers, after the concurrent scan phase is
done. However, this means a rapidly allocating mutator has the entire
scan phase during which to allocate beyond the heap trigger and
potentially beyond the heap goal with no back-pressure from assists.
This prevents the feedback system that's supposed to keep the heap
size under the heap goal from doing its job.

Fix this by enabling mutator assists during the scan phase. This is
safe because the write barrier is already enabled and globally
acknowledged at this point.

There's still a very small window between when the heap size reaches
the heap trigger and when the GC coordinator is able to stop the world
during which the mutator can allocate unabated. This allows *very*
rapidly allocator mutators like TestTraceStress to still occasionally
exceed the heap goal by a small amount (~20 MB at most for
TestTraceStress). However, this seems like a corner case.

Fixes #11677.

Currently we hand-code a set of phases when draining is allowed.
However, this set of phases is conservative. The critical invariant is
simply that the write barrier must be enabled if we're draining.

Shortly we're going to enable mutator assists during the scan phase,
which means we may drain during the scan phase. In preparation, this
commit generalizes these assertions to check the fundamental condition
that the write barrier is enabled, rather than checking that we're in
any particular phase.

Currently we clear both the mark 1 and mark 2 signals at the beginning
of concurrent mark. If either if these is clear, it acts as a signal
to the scheduler that it should start background workers. However,
this means that in the interim *between* mark 1 and mark 2, the
scheduler basically loops starting up new workers only to have them
return with nothing to do. In addition to harming performance and
delaying mutator work, this approach has a race where workers started
for mark 1 can mistakenly signal mark 2, causing it to complete
prematurely. This approach also interferes with starting assists
earlier to fix #11677.

Fix this by initially setting both mark 1 and mark 2 to "signaled".
The scheduler will not start background mark workers, though assists
can still run. When we're ready to enter mark 1, we clear the mark 1
signal and wait for it. Then, when we're ready to enter mark 2, we
clear the mark 2 signal and wait for it.

This structure also lets us deal cleanly with the situation where all
work is drained *prior* to the mark 2 wait, meaning that there may be
no workers to signal completion. Currently we deal with this using a
racy (and possibly incorrect) check for work in the coordinator itself
to skip the mark 2 wait if there's no work. This change makes the
coordinator unconditionally wait for mark completion and makes the
scheduler itself signal completion by slightly extending the logic it
already has to determine that there's no work and hence no use in
starting a new worker.

This is a prerequisite to fixing the remaining component of #11677,
which will require enabling assists during the scan phase. However, we
don't want to enable background workers until the mark phase because
they will compete with the scan. This change lets us use bgMark1 and
bgMark2 to indicate when it's okay to start background workers
independent of assists.

This is also a prerequisite to fixing #11694. It significantly reduces
the occurrence of long mark termination pauses in #11694 (from 64 out
of 1000 to 2 out of 1000 in one experiment).

Coincidentally, this also reduces the final heap size (and hence run
time) of TestTraceStress from ~100 MB and ~1.9 seconds to ~14 MB and
~0.4 seconds because it significantly shortens concurrent mark
duration.

Currently, there are three ways to satisfy a GC assist: 1) the mutator
steals credit from background GC, 2) the mutator actually does GC
work, and 3) there is no more work available. 3 was never really
intended as a way to satisfy an assist, and it causes problems: there
are periods when it's expected that the GC won't have any work, such
as when transitioning from mark 1 to mark 2 and from mark 2 to mark
termination. During these periods, there's no back-pressure on rapidly
allocating mutators, which lets them race ahead of the heap goal.

For example, test/init1.go and the runtime/trace test both have small
reachable heaps and contain loops that rapidly allocate large garbage
byte slices. This bug lets these tests exceed the heap goal by several
orders of magnitude.

Fix this by forcing the assist (and hence the allocation) to block
until it can satisfy its debt via either 1 or 2, or the GC cycle
terminates.

This fixes one the causes of #11677. It's still possible to overshoot
the GC heap goal, but with this change the overshoot is almost exactly
by the amount of allocation that happens during the concurrent scan
phase, between when the heap passes the GC trigger and when the GC
enables assists.

Currently it's possible for the GC assist to signal completion of the
mark phase, which puts the GC coordinator goroutine on the current P's
run queue, and then return to mutator code that delays until the next
forced preemption before actually yielding control to the GC
coordinator, dragging out completion of the mark phase. This delay can
be further exacerbated if the mutator makes other goroutines runnable
before yielding control, since this will push the GC coordinator on
the back of the P's run queue.

To fix this, this adds a Gosched to the assist if it completed the
mark phase. This immediately and directly yields control to the GC
coordinator. This already happens implicitly in the background mark
workers because they park immediately after completing the mark.

This is one of the reasons completion of the mark phase is being
dragged out and allowing the mutator to allocate without assisting,
leading to the large heap goal overshoot in issue #11677. This is also
a prerequisite to making the assist block when it can't pay off its
debt.

Currently it's possible to perform GC work on a system stack or when
locks are held if there's an allocation that triggers an assist. This
is generally a bad idea because of the fragility of these contexts,
and it's incompatible with two changes we're about to make: one is to
yield after signaling mark completion (which we can't do from a
non-preemptible context) and the other is to make assists block if
there's no other way for them to pay off the assist debt.

This commit simply skips the assist if it's called from a
non-preemptible context. The allocation will still count toward the
assist debt, so it will be paid off by a later assist. There should be
little allocation from non-preemptible contexts, so this shouldn't
harm the overall assist mechanism.

Currently fractional and idle mark workers dispose of their gcWork
cache during mark 2 after incrementing work.nwait and after checking
whether there are any workers or any work available. This creates a
window for two races:

1) If the only remaining work is in this worker's gcWork cache, it
   will see that there are no more workers and no more work on the
   global lists (since it has not yet flushed its own cache) and
   prematurely signal mark 2 completion.

2) After this worker has incremented work.nwait but before it has
   flushed its cache, another worker may observe that there are no
   more workers and no more work and prematurely signal mark 2
   completion.

We can fix both of these by simply moving the cache flush above the
increment of nwait and the test of the completion condition.

This is probably contributing to #11694, though this alone is not
enough to fix it.

GC assists are supposed to steal at most the amount of background GC
credit available so that background GC credit doesn't go negative.
However, they are instead stealing the *total* amount of their debt
but only claiming up to the amount of credit that was available. This
results in draining the background GC credit pool too quickly, which
results in unnecessary assist work.

The fix is trivial: steal the amount of work we meant to steal (which
is already computed).

Currently the gctrace output reports the trigger heap size, rather
than the actual heap size at the beginning of GC. Often these are the
same, or at least very close. However, it's possible for the heap to

start GC; in this case, this output is very misleading. We've

We used to use build.Import to get the dependencies, but that meant

But some combinations can't run the test at all. For example darwin/arm64
does not run tests with a full source file systems, so it cannot test itself,
so nothing was testing darwin/arm64. This led to bugs like #10455

Rewrite the test to read the imports out of the source files ourselves,
so that we can look at all source files in a directory in one pass,
