Currently, newstack and gogo have write barriers for maintaining the
context register saved in g.sched.ctxt. This is troublesome, because
newstack can be called from go:nowritebarrierrec places that can't
allow write barriers. It happens to be benign because g.sched.ctxt
will always be nil on entry to newstack *and* it so happens the
incoming ctxt will also always be nil in these contexts (I
think/hope), but this is playing with fire. It's also desirable to
mark newstack go:nowritebarrierrec to prevent any other, non-benign
write barriers from creeping in, but we can't do that right now
because of this one write barrier.
Fix all of this by observing that g.sched.ctxt is really just a saved
live pointer register. Hence, we can shade it when we scan g's stack
and otherwise move it back and forth between the actual context
register and g.sched.ctxt without write barriers. This means we can
save it in morestack along with all of the other g.sched, eliminate
the save from newstack along with its troublesome write barrier, and
eliminate the shenanigans in gogo to invoke the write barrier when
restoring it.
Once we've done all of this, we can mark newstack
go:nowritebarrierrec.
Fixes#22385.

Setting stackCache to 0 to disable stack caches for debugging hasn't
worked for a long time. It causes stackalloc to fall back to full span
allocation, round sub-page stacks down to 0 pages, and blow up.
Fix this debug mode so it disables the per-P caches, but continues to
use the global stack pools for small stacks, which correctly handle
sub-page stacks. While we're here, rename stackCache to stackNoCache
so it acts like the rest of the stack allocator debug modes where "0"
is the right default value.

The stackFromSystem debug mode has two problems:
1) It rounds the stack allocation to _PageSize. If the physical page
size is >8K, this can cause unmapping the memory later to either
under-unmap or over-unmap.
2) It doesn't return the rounded-up allocation size to its caller, so
when we later unmap the memory, we may pass the wrong length.
Fix these problems by rounding the size up to the physical page size
and putting that rounded-up size in the returned stack bounds.

Currently almost every function that deals with a *_func has to first
look up the *moduledata for the module containing the function's entry
point. This means we almost always do at least two identical module
lookups whenever we deal with a *_func (one to get the *_func and
another to get something from its module data) and sometimes several
more.
Fix this by making findfunc return a new funcInfo type that embeds
*_func, but also includes the *moduledata, and making all of the
functions that currently take a *_func instead take a funcInfo and use
the already-found *moduledata.
This transformation is trivial for the most part, since the *_func
type is usually inferred. The annoying part is that we can no longer
use nil to indicate failure, so this introduces a funcInfo.valid()
method and replaces nil checks with calls to valid.

Currently, markroot delays scanning mark worker stacks until mark
termination by putting the mark worker G directly on the rescan list
when it encounters one during the mark phase. Without this, since mark
workers are non-preemptible, two mark workers that attempt to scan
each other's stacks can deadlock.
However, this is annoyingly asymmetric and causes some real problems.
First, markroot does not own the G at that point, so it's not
technically safe to add it to the rescan list. I haven't been able to
find a specific problem this could cause, but I suspect it's the root
cause of issue #17099. Second, this will interfere with the hybrid
barrier, since there is no stack rescanning during mark termination
with the hybrid barrier.
This commit switches to a different approach. We move the mark
worker's call to gcDrain to the system stack and set the mark worker's
status to _Gwaiting for the duration of the drain to indicate that
it's preemptible. This lets another mark worker scan its G stack while
the drain is running on the system stack. We don't return to the G
stack until we can switch back to _Grunning, which ensures we don't
race with a stack scan. This lets us eliminate the special case for
mark worker stack scans and scan them just like any other goroutine.
The only subtlety to this approach is that we have to disable stack
shrinking for mark workers; they could be referring to captured
variables from the G stack, so it's not safe to move their stacks.

an explicit write barrier for ctxt.
This already requires some subtle reasoning, and it's going to get a
lot hairier with the hybrid barrier.
Fix this by simplifying the whole mechanism. Instead of writing
gobuf.ctxt in morestack, just pass the value of the context register

Currently scanstack obtains its own gcWork from the P for the duration
of the stack scan and then, if called during mark termination,
disposes the gcWork.
However, this means that the number of workbufs allocated will be at
least the number of stacks scanned during mark termination, which may
be very high (especially during a STW GC). This happens because, in
steady state, each scanstack will obtain a fresh workbuf (either from
the empty list or by allocating it), fill it with the scan results,
and then dispose it to the full list. Nothing is consuming from the
full list during this (and hence nothing is recycling them to the
empty list), so the length of the full list by the time mark
termination starts draining it is at least the number of stacks
scanned.
Fix this by pushing the gcWork acquisition up the stack to either the
gcDrain that calls markroot that calls scanstack (which batches across
many stack scans and is the path taken during STW GC) or to newstack
(which is still a single scanstack call, but this is roughly bounded
by the number of Ps).
This fix reduces the workbuf allocation for the test program from
issue #15319 from 213 MB (roughly 2KB * 1e5 goroutines) to 10 MB.
Fixes#15319.
Note that there's potentially a similar issue in write barriers during
mark 2. Fixing that will be more difficult since there's no broader
non-preemptible context, but it should also be less of a problem since
the full list is being drained during mark 2.

Instead of building a freelist from the mark bits generated
by the GC this CL allocates directly from the mark bits.
The approach moves the mark bits from the pointer/no pointer
heap structures into their own per span data structures. The
mark/allocation vectors consist of a single mark bit per
object. Two vectors are maintained, one for allocation and
one for the GC's mark phase. During the GC cycle's sweep
phase the interpretation of the vectors is swapped. The
mark vector becomes the allocation vector and the old
allocation vector is cleared and becomes the mark vector that
the next GC cycle will use.
Marked entries in the allocation vector indicate that the
object is not free. Each allocation vector maintains a boundary
between areas of the span already allocated from and areas
not yet allocated from. As objects are allocated this boundary
is moved until it reaches the end of the span. At this point
further allocations will be done from another span.
Since we no longer sweep a span inspecting each freed object
the responsibility for maintaining pointer/scalar bits in
the heapBitMap containing is now the responsibility of the
the routines doing the actual allocation.
This CL is functionally complete and ready for performance
tuning.

Currently we clear gcscanvalid in both casgstatus and
casfrom_Gscanstatus if the new status is _Grunning. This is very
important to do in casgstatus. However, this is potentially wrong in
casfrom_Gscanstatus because in this case the caller doesn't own gp and
hence the write is racy. Unlike the other _Gscan statuses, during
_Gscanrunning, the G is still running. This does not indicate that
it's transitioning into a running state. The scan simply hasn't
happened yet, so it's neither valid nor invalid.
Conveniently, this also means clearing gcscanvalid is unnecessary in
this case because the G was already in _Grunning, so we can simply
remove this code. What will happen instead is that the G will be
preempted to scan itself, that scan will set gcscanvalid to true, and
then the G will return to _Grunning via casgstatus, clearing
gcscanvalid.
This fix will become necessary shortly when we start keeping track of
the set of G's with dirty stacks, since it will no longer be
idempotent to simply set gcscanvalid to false.

Currently shinkstack is only safe during STW because it adjusts
channel-related stack pointers and moves send/receive stack slots
without synchronizing with the channel code. Make it safe to use when
the world isn't stopped by:
1) Locking all channels the G is blocked on while adjusting the sudogs
and copying the area of the stack that may contain send/receive
slots.
2) For any stack frames that may contain send/receive slot, using an
atomic CAS to adjust pointers to prevent races between adjusting a
pointer in a receive slot and a concurrent send writing to that
receive slot.
In principle, the synchronization could be finer-grained. For example,
we considered synchronizing around the sudogs, which would allow
channel operations involving other Gs to continue if the G being
shrunk was far enough down the send/receive queue. However, using the
channel lock means no additional locks are necessary in the channel
code. Furthermore, the stack shrinking code holds the channel lock for
a very short time (much less than the time required to shrink the
stack).
This does not yet make stack shrinking concurrent; it merely makes
doing so safe.
This has negligible effect on the go1 and garbage benchmarks.
For #12967.

Currently copystack adjusts pointers in the old stack and then copies
the adjusted stack to the new stack. In addition to being generally
confusing, this is going to make concurrent stack shrinking harder.
Switch this around so that we first copy the stack and then adjust
pointers on the new stack (never writing to the old stack).
This reprises CL 15996, but takes a different and simpler approach. CL
15996 still walked the old stack while adjusting pointers on the new
stack. In this CL, we adjust auxiliary structures before walking the
stack, so we can just walk the new stack.

To prevent races with the garbage collector, stack spans cannot be
reused as heap spans during a GC. We deal with this by caching stack
spans during GC and releasing them at the end of mark termination.
However, while our cache lets us reuse small stack spans, currently
large stack spans are *not* reused. This can cause significant memory
growth in programs that allocate large stacks rapidly, but grow the
heap slowly (such as in issue #13552).
Fix this by adding logic to reuse large stack spans for other stacks.
Fixes#11466.
Fixes#13552. Without this change, the program in this issue creeps to
over 1GB of memory over the course of a few hours. With this change,
it stays rock solid at around 30MB.

Commit bbd1a1c prevented SIGPROF from scanning stacks that were being
copied, but it didn't prevent a stack copy (specifically a stack
shrink) from happening while SIGPROF is scanning the stack. As a
result, a stack copy may adjust stack barriers while SIGPROF is in the
middle of scanning a stack, causing SIGPROF to panic when it detects
an inconsistent stack barrier.
Fix this by taking the stack barrier lock while adjusting the stack.
In addition to preventing SIGPROF from scanning this stack, this will
block until any in-progress SIGPROF is done scanning the stack.

This CL introduces a new mSpanList type to replace the empty mspan
variables that were previously used as list heads.
To be type safe, the previous circular linked list data structure is
now a tail queue instead. One complication of this is
mSpanList_Remove needs to know the list a span is being removed from,
but this appears to be computable in all circumstances.
As a temporary sanity check, mSpanList_Insert and mSpanList_InsertBack
record the list that an mspan has been inserted into so that
mSpanList_Remove can verify that the correct list was specified.
Whereas mspan is 112 bytes on amd64, mSpanList is only 16 bytes. This
shrinks the size of mheap from 50216 bytes to 12584 bytes.
