    runtime: hold worldsema while starting the world · 277acca2
    Austin Clements authored
    Currently, startTheWorld releases worldsema before starting the
    world. Since startTheWorld can change gomaxprocs after allowing Ps to
    run, this means that gomaxprocs can change while another P holds
    worldsema.
    
    Unfortunately, the garbage collector and forEachP assume that holding
    worldsema protects against changes in gomaxprocs (which it *almost*
    does). In particular, this is causing somewhat frequent "P did not run
    fn" crashes in forEachP in the runtime tests because gomaxprocs is
    changing between the several loops that forEachP does over all the Ps.
    
    Fix this by only releasing worldsema after the world is started.
    
    This relates to issue #10618. forEachP still fails under stress
    testing, but much less frequently.
