Currently, the '_FixAllocChunk % fixalloc.size' tail bytes
will never be used when allocing from persistentalloc.

Wasted bytes on darwin/amd64:
  _FixAllocChunk % mheap_.spanalloc.size             = 64
  _FixAllocChunk % mheap_.cachealloc.size            = 784
  _FixAllocChunk % mheap_.specialfinalizeralloc.size = 16
  _FixAllocChunk % mheap_.specialprofilealloc.size   = 16
  _FixAllocChunk % mheap_.specialReachableAlloc.size = 16
  _FixAllocChunk % mheap_.arenaHintAlloc.size        = 16

After this commit, fixalloc alloc '_FixAllocChunk / fixalloc.size'
objects exactly with zero waste. Sizeof(fixalloc{}) is unchanged.

Usually, fixalloc is used to allocate small, persistent and reuseable
objects. The size is typically between range [sizeof(mlink), _FixAllocChunk].

It's rare for being out of the range. But if it did happen, we got a
hard-to-discover memory corruption. This commit prevents that situation by limiting object's size.

<title>runtime: delineate which memstats are system stats with a type</title>

<id>8ebc58452af3a586a3da1f68725bc83c78d4b073</id>
<content type='text'>
This change modifies the type of several mstats fields to be a new type:
sysMemStat. This type has the same structure as the fields used to have.

The purpose of this change is to make it very clear which stats may be
used in various functions for accounting (usually the platform-specific
sys* functions, but there are others). Currently there's an implicit
understanding that the *uint64 value passed to these functions is some
kind of statistic whose value is atomically managed. This understanding
isn't inherently problematic, but we're about to change how some stats
(which currently use mSysStatInc and mSysStatDec) work, so we want to
make it very clear what the various requirements are around "sysStat".

This change also removes mSysStatInc and mSysStatDec in favor of a
method on sysMemStat. Note that those two functions were originally
written the way they were because atomic 64-bit adds required a valid G
on ARM, but this hasn't been the case for a very long time (since
golang.org/cl/14204, but even before then it wasn't clear if mutexes
required a valid G anymore). Today we implement 64-bit adds on ARM with
a spinlock table.

This change cleans up references to MSpan, MCache, and MCentral in the
docs via a bunch of sed invocations to better reflect the Go names for
the equivalent structures (i.e. mspan, mcache, mcentral) and their
methods (i.e. MSpan_Sweep -&gt; mspan.sweep).

<title>runtime: redo insert/remove of large spans</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://git.baserock.org/cgit/delta/go-git.git/commit/?id=6e9ec14186cad6058625415abba2744e2bd83ec7'/>
<id>6e9ec14186cad6058625415abba2744e2bd83ec7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently for spans with up to 1 MBytes (128 pages) we
maintain an array indexed by the number of pages in the
span. This is efficient both in terms of space as well
as time to insert or remove a span of a particular size.

Unfortunately for spans larger than 1 MByte we currently
place them on a separate linked list. This results in
O(n) behavior. Now that we are seeing heaps approaching
100 GBytes n is large enough to be noticed in real programs.

This change replaces the linked list now used with a balanced
binary tree structure called a treap. A treap is a
probabilistically balanced tree offering O(logN) behavior for
inserting and removing spans.

To verify that this approach will work we start with noting
that only spans with sizes &gt; 1MByte will be put into the treap.
This means that to support 1 TByte a treap will need at most
1 million nodes and can ideally be held in a treap with a
depth of 20. Experiments with adding and removing randomly
sized spans from the treap seem to result in treaps with
depths of about twice the ideal or 40. A petabyte would
require a tree of only twice again that depth again so this
algorithm should last well into the future.

Fixes #19393

Go1 benchmarks indicate this is basically an overall wash.

Currently for spans with up to 1 MBytes (128 pages) we
maintain an array indexed by the number of pages in the
span. This is efficient both in terms of space as well
as time to insert or remove a span of a particular size.

Unfortunately for spans larger than 1 MByte we currently
place them on a separate linked list. This results in
O(n) behavior. Now that we are seeing heaps approaching
100 GBytes n is large enough to be noticed in real programs.

This change replaces the linked list now used with a balanced
binary tree structure called a treap. A treap is a
probabilistically balanced tree offering O(logN) behavior for
inserting and removing spans.

To verify that this approach will work we start with noting
that only spans with sizes &gt; 1MByte will be put into the treap.
This means that to support 1 TByte a treap will need at most
1 million nodes and can ideally be held in a treap with a
depth of 20. Experiments with adding and removing randomly
sized spans from the treap seem to result in treaps with
depths of about twice the ideal or 40. A petabyte would
require a tree of only twice again that depth again so this
algorithm should last well into the future.

Fixes #19393

Go1 benchmarks indicate this is basically an overall wash.

Since barrier-less memclr is only safe in very narrow circumstances,
this commit renames memclr to avoid accidentally calling memclr on
typed memory. This can cause subtle, non-deterministic bugs, so it's
worth some effort to prevent. In the near term, this will also prevent
bugs creeping in from any concurrent CLs that add calls to memclr; if
this happens, whichever patch hits master second will fail to compile.

This also adds the other new memclr variants to the compiler's
builtin.go to minimize the churn on that binary blob. We'll use these
in future commits.

Updates #17503.

<title>runtime: make fixalloc zero allocations on reuse</title>

Currently fixalloc does not zero memory it reuses. This is dangerous
with the hybrid barrier if the type may contain heap pointers, since
it may cause us to observe a dead heap pointer on reuse. It's also
error-prone since it's the only allocator that doesn't zero on
allocation (mallocgc of course zeroes, but so do persistentalloc and
sysAlloc). It's also largely pointless: for mcache, the caller
immediately memclrs the allocation; and the two specials types are
tiny so there's no real cost to zeroing them.

Change fixalloc to zero allocations by default.

The only type we don't zero by default is mspan. This actually
requires that the spsn's sweepgen survive across freeing and
reallocating a span. If we were to zero it, the following race would
be possible:

1. The current sweepgen is 2. Span s is on the unswept list.

2. Direct sweeping sweeps span s, finds it's all free, and releases s
   to the fixalloc.

3. Thread 1 allocates s from fixalloc. Suppose this zeros s, including
   s.sweepgen.

4. Thread 1 calls s.init, which sets s.state to _MSpanDead.

5. On thread 2, background sweeping comes across span s in allspans
   and cas's s.sweepgen from 0 (sg-2) to 1 (sg-1). Now it thinks it
   owns it for sweeping. 6. Thread 1 continues initializing s.
   Everything breaks.

I would like to fix this because it's obviously confusing, but it's a
subtle enough problem that I'm leaving it alone for now. The solution
may be to skip sweepgen 0, but then we have to think about wrap-around
much more carefully.

Updates #17503.

The tree's pretty inconsistent about single space vs double space
after a period in documentation. Make it consistently a single space,
per earlier decisions. This means contributors won't be confused by
misleading precedence.

This CL doesn't use go/doc to parse. It only addresses // comments.
It was generated with:
