      runtime: don't coalesce scavenged spans with unscavenged spans · 6e9f664b
      Michael Anthony Knyszek authored 
      As a result of changes earlier in Go 1.12, the scavenger became much
more aggressive. In particular, when scavenged and unscavenged spans
coalesced, they would always become scavenged. This resulted in most
spans becoming scavenged over time. While this is good for keeping the
RSS of the program low, it also causes many more undue page faults and
many more calls to madvise.

For most applications, the impact of this was negligible. But for
applications that repeatedly grow and shrink the heap by large amounts,
the overhead can be significant. The overhead was especially obvious on
older versions of Linux where MADV_FREE isn't available and
MADV_DONTNEED must be used.

This change makes it so that scavenged spans will never coalesce with
unscavenged spans. This  results in fewer page faults overall. Aside
from this, the expected impact of this change is more heap growths on
average, as span allocations will be less likely to be fulfilled. To
mitigate this slightly, this change also coalesces spans eagerly after
scavenging, to at least ensure that all scavenged spans and all
unscavenged spans are coalesced with each other.

Also, this change adds additional logic in the case where two adjacent
spans cannot coalesce. In this case, on platforms where the physical
page size is larger than the runtime's page size, we realign the
boundary between the two adjacent spans to a physical page boundary. The
advantage of this approach is that "unscavengable" spans, that is, spans
which cannot be scavenged because they don't cover at least a single
physical page are grown to a size where they have a higher likelihood of
being discovered by the runtime's scavenging mechanisms when they border
a scavenged span. This helps prevent the runtime from accruing pockets
of "unscavengable" memory in between scavenged spans, preventing them
from coalescing.

We specifically choose to apply this logic to all spans because it
simplifies the code, even though it isn't strictly necessary. The
expectation is that this change will result in a slight loss in
performance on platforms where the physical page size is larger than the
runtime page size.

Update #14045.

      runtime: de-duplicate coalescing code · 2f99e889
      Michael Anthony Knyszek authored 
      Currently the code surrounding coalescing is duplicated between merging
with the span before the span considered for coalescing and merging with
the span after. This change factors out the shared portions of these
codepaths into a local closure which acts as a helper.

      runtime: refactor coalescing into its own method · 79ac638e
      Michael Anthony Knyszek authored 
      The coalescing process is complex and in a follow-up change we'll need
to do it in more than one place, so this change factors out the
coalescing code in freeSpanLocked into a method on mheap.

      doc/go1.12: link to ABIInternal design document · e2ff7328
      Austin Clements authored 
      The ABI changes should be completely transparent to Go code, but could
cause linking issues in certain situations involving assembly code
reaching across package boundaries. If users encounter linking
problems, point them to the "Compatibility" section of the ABI design
document, which gives some guidance.

      cmd/compile: separate data and function LSyms · a2e79571
      Austin Clements authored 
      Currently, obj.Ctxt's symbol table does not distinguish between ABI0
and ABIInternal symbols. This is *almost* okay, since a given symbol
name in the final object file is only going to belong to one ABI or
the other, but it requires that the compiler mark a Sym as being a
function symbol before it retrieves its LSym. If it retrieves the LSym
first, that LSym will be created as ABI0, and later marking the Sym as
a function symbol won't change the LSym's ABI.

Marking a Sym as a function symbol before looking up its LSym sounds
easy, except Syms have a dual purpose: they are used just as interned
strings (every function, variable, parameter, etc with the same
textual name shares a Sym), and *also* to store state for whatever
package global has that name. As a result, it's easy to slip up and
look up an LSym when a Sym is serving as the name of a local variable,
and then later mark it as a function when it's serving as the global
with the name.

In general, we were careful to avoid this, but #29610 demonstrates one
case where we messed up. Because of on-demand importing from indexed
export data, it's possible to compile a method wrapper for a type
imported from another package before importing an init function from
that package. If the argument of the method is named "init", the
"init" LSym will be created as a data symbol when compiling the
wrapper, before it gets marked as a function symbol.

To fix this, we separate obj.Ctxt's symbol tables for ABI0 and
ABIInternal symbols. This way, the compiler will simply get a
different LSym once the Sym takes on its package-global meaning as a
function.

This fixes the above ordering issue, and means we no longer need to go
out of our way to create the "init" function early and mark it as a
function symbol.

Fixes #29610.
Updates #27539.
