Michael Anthony Knyszek a108b280bc runtime: implement GC pacer redesign
This change implements the GC pacer redesign outlined in #44167 and the
accompanying design document, behind a GOEXPERIMENT flag that is on by
default.

In addition to adding the new pacer, this CL also includes code to track
and account for stack and globals scan work in the pacer and in the
assist credit system.

The new pacer also deviates slightly from the document in that it
increases the bound on the minimum trigger ratio from 0.6 (scaled by
GOGC) to 0.7. The logic behind this change is that the new pacer much
more consistently hits the goal (good!) leading to slightly less
frequent GC cycles, but _longer_ ones (in this case, bad!). It turns out
that the cost of having the GC on hurts throughput significantly (per
byte of memory used), though tail latencies can improve by up to 10%! To
be conservative, this change moves the value to 0.7 where there is a
small improvement to both throughput and latency, given the memory use.

Because the new pacer accounts for the two most significant sources of
scan work after heap objects, it is now also safer to reduce the minimum
heap size without leading to very poor amortization. This change thus
decreases the minimum heap size to 512 KiB, which corresponds to the
fact that the runtime has around 200 KiB of scannable globals always
there, up-front, providing a baseline.

Benchmark results: https://perf.golang.org/search?q=upload:20211001.6

tile38's KNearest benchmark shows a memory increase, but throughput (and
latency) per byte of memory used is better.

gopher-lua showed an increase in both CPU time and memory usage, but
subsequent attempts to reproduce this behavior are inconsistent.
Sometimes the overall performance is better, sometimes it's worse. This
suggests that the benchmark is fairly noisy in a way not captured by the
benchmarking framework itself.

biogo-igor is the only benchmark to show a significant performance loss.
This benchmark exhibits a very high GC rate, with relatively little work
to do in each cycle. The idle mark workers are quite active. In the new
pacer, mark phases are longer, mark assists are fewer, and some of that
time in mark assists has shifted to idle workers. Linux perf indicates
that the difference in CPU time can be mostly attributed to write-barrier
slow path related calls, which in turn indicates that the write barrier
being on for longer is the primary culprit. This also explains the memory
increase, as a longer mark phase leads to more memory allocated black,
surviving an extra cycle and contributing to the heap goal.

For #44167.

// Garbage collector (GC).
//
// The GC runs concurrently with mutator threads, is type accurate (aka precise), allows multiple
// GC thread to run in parallel. It is a concurrent mark and sweep that uses a write barrier. It is
// non-generational and non-compacting. Allocation is done using size segregated per P allocation
// areas to minimize fragmentation while eliminating locks in the common case.
//
// The algorithm decomposes into several steps.
// This is a high level description of the algorithm being used. For an overview of GC a good
// place to start is Richard Jones' gchandbook.org.
//
// The algorithm's intellectual heritage includes Dijkstra's on-the-fly algorithm, see
// Edsger W. Dijkstra, Leslie Lamport, A. J. Martin, C. S. Scholten, and E. F. M. Steffens. 1978.
// On-the-fly garbage collection: an exercise in cooperation. Commun. ACM 21, 11 (November 1978),
// 966-975.
// For journal quality proofs that these steps are complete, correct, and terminate see
// Hudson, R., and Moss, J.E.B. Copying Garbage Collection without stopping the world.
// Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience 15(3-5), 2003.
//
// 1. GC performs sweep termination.
//
// a. Stop the world. This causes all Ps to reach a GC safe-point.
//
// b. Sweep any unswept spans. There will only be unswept spans if
// this GC cycle was forced before the expected time.
//
// 2. GC performs the mark phase.
//
// a. Prepare for the mark phase by setting gcphase to _GCmark
// (from _GCoff), enabling the write barrier, enabling mutator
// assists, and enqueueing root mark jobs. No objects may be
// scanned until all Ps have enabled the write barrier, which is
// accomplished using STW.
//
// b. Start the world. From this point, GC work is done by mark
// workers started by the scheduler and by assists performed as
// part of allocation. The write barrier shades both the
// overwritten pointer and the new pointer value for any pointer
// writes (see mbarrier.go for details). Newly allocated objects
// are immediately marked black.
//
// c. GC performs root marking jobs. This includes scanning all
// stacks, shading all globals, and shading any heap pointers in
// off-heap runtime data structures. Scanning a stack stops a
// goroutine, shades any pointers found on its stack, and then
// resumes the goroutine.
//
// d. GC drains the work queue of grey objects, scanning each grey
// object to black and shading all pointers found in the object
// (which in turn may add those pointers to the work queue).
//
// e. Because GC work is spread across local caches, GC uses a
// distributed termination algorithm to detect when there are no
// more root marking jobs or grey objects (see gcMarkDone). At this
// point, GC transitions to mark termination.
//
// 3. GC performs mark termination.
//
// a. Stop the world.
//
// b. Set gcphase to _GCmarktermination, and disable workers and
// assists.
//
// c. Perform housekeeping like flushing mcaches.
//
// 4. GC performs the sweep phase.
//
// a. Prepare for the sweep phase by setting gcphase to _GCoff,
// setting up sweep state and disabling the write barrier.
//
// b. Start the world. From this point on, newly allocated objects
// are white, and allocating sweeps spans before use if necessary.
//
// c. GC does concurrent sweeping in the background and in response
// to allocation. See description below.
//
// 5. When sufficient allocation has taken place, replay the sequence
// starting with 1 above. See discussion of GC rate below.
// Concurrent sweep.
//
// The sweep phase proceeds concurrently with normal program execution.
// The heap is swept span-by-span both lazily (when a goroutine needs another span)
// and concurrently in a background goroutine (this helps programs that are not CPU bound).
// At the end of STW mark termination all spans are marked as "needs sweeping".
//
// The background sweeper goroutine simply sweeps spans one-by-one.
//
// To avoid requesting more OS memory while there are unswept spans, when a
// goroutine needs another span, it first attempts to reclaim that much memory
// by sweeping. When a goroutine needs to allocate a new small-object span, it
// sweeps small-object spans for the same object size until it frees at least
// one object. When a goroutine needs to allocate large-object span from heap,
// it sweeps spans until it frees at least that many pages into heap. There is
// one case where this may not suffice: if a goroutine sweeps and frees two
// nonadjacent one-page spans to the heap, it will allocate a new two-page
// span, but there can still be other one-page unswept spans which could be
// combined into a two-page span.
//
// It's critical to ensure that no operations proceed on unswept spans (that would corrupt
// mark bits in GC bitmap). During GC all mcaches are flushed into the central cache,
// so they are empty. When a goroutine grabs a new span into mcache, it sweeps it.
// When a goroutine explicitly frees an object or sets a finalizer, it ensures that
// the span is swept (either by sweeping it, or by waiting for the concurrent sweep to finish).
// The finalizer goroutine is kicked off only when all spans are swept.
// When the next GC starts, it sweeps all not-yet-swept spans (if any).
// GC rate.
// Next GC is after we've allocated an extra amount of memory proportional to
// the amount already in use. The proportion is controlled by GOGC environment variable
// (100 by default). If GOGC=100 and we're using 4M, we'll GC again when we get to 8M
// (this mark is tracked in gcController.heapGoal variable). This keeps the GC cost in
// linear proportion to the allocation cost. Adjusting GOGC just changes the linear constant
// (and also the amount of extra memory used).
// Oblets
//
// In order to prevent long pauses while scanning large objects and to
// improve parallelism, the garbage collector breaks up scan jobs for
// objects larger than maxObletBytes into "oblets" of at most
// maxObletBytes. When scanning encounters the beginning of a large
// object, it scans only the first oblet and enqueues the remaining
// oblets as new scan jobs.
