This change adds a new GODEBUG flag called pagetrace that writes a low-overhead trace of how pages of memory are managed by the Go runtime. The page tracer is kept behind a GOEXPERIMENT flag due to a potential security risk for setuid binaries.

2021-12-02runtime: break out new minimum heap size into a goexperimentMichael Anthony Knyszek
The new minimum heap of 512 KiB has been the cause of some build slowdown (~1%) and microbenchmark slowdown (usually ~0%, up to ~50%) because of two reasons: 1. Applications with lots of small short-lived processes execute many more GC cycles. 2. Applications with heaps <4 MiB GC up to 8x more often. In many ways these consequences are inevitable given how GOGC works, however we need to investigate more as to whether the apparent slowdowns are indeed unavoidable or if the GC has issues scaling down, which it's too late for for this release. Given that this release is already huge, it's OK to push this back. We'll take a closer look at it next cycle, so place block it behind a new goexperiment to allow users and ourselves to easily experiment with it. Fixes #49744. Updates #44167.

2021-11-04runtime: implement GC pacer redesignMichael Anthony Knyszek
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.

2021-06-17[dev.typeparams] all: add GOEXPERIMENT=unified knobMatthew Dempsky
Setting `-gcflags=all=-d=unified` works for normal builds/tests, but seems to have trouble with the test/run.go regress tests. So add a GOEXPERIMENT knob to allow another way to turn on unified IR construction, which plays better with all.bash. While here, update two existing test expectations that currently fail during GOEXPERIMENT=unified ./all.bash: 1. misc/cgo/errors/testdata/err2.go is testing column positions, and types2 gets one case slightly better, and another case slightly worse. For now, the test case is updated to accept both. 2. fixedbugs/issue42284.go is added to the list of known failures, because it fails for unified IR. (It's an escape analysis test, and escape analysis is working as expected; but unified is formatting an imported constant value differently than the test's regexp expects.) Updates #46786.

2021-04-16internal/buildcfg: make regabi an alias for regabi sub-experimentsAustin Clements
Currently, specifying GOEXPERIMENT=regabi will turn on all regabi sub-experiments, but GOEXPERIMENT=noregabi won't turn anything off. Regabi also isn't a "real" experiment in the sense that nothing in the code base should depend on it as an experiment flag (it should depend on the appropriate sub-experiments). Hence, drop Regabi from goexperiment.Flags and make "regabi" in GOEXPERIMENT be a real alias for all of the sub-flags, so regabi will turn on all of the sub-flags and noregabi will turn off all of the sub-flags. This way, once we enable the sub-experiments in the baseline configuration, it will be easy to turn off with "noregabi". For #40724.

2021-04-08cmd/internal/objabi: make GOEXPERIMENT be a diff from default experimentsAustin Clements
Right now the rules around handling default-on experiments are complicated and a bit inconsistent. Notably, objabi.GOEXPERIMENT is set to a comma-separated list of enabled experiments, but this may not be the string a user should set the GOEXPERIMENT environment variable to get that list of experiments: if an experiment is enabled by default but gets turned off by GOEXPERIMENT, then the string we report needs to include "no"+experiment to capture that default override. This complication also seeps into the version string we print for "go tool compile -V", etc. This logic is further complicated by the fact that it only wants to include an experiment string if the set of experiments varies from the default. This CL rethinks how we handle default-on experiments. Now that experiment state is all captured in a struct, we can simplify a lot of this logic. objabi.GOEXPERIMENT will be set based on the delta from the default set of experiments, which reflects what a user would actually need to pass on the command line. Likewise, we include this delta in the "-V" output, which simplifies this logic because if there's nothing to show in the version string, the delta will be empty.

2021-04-08internal/goexperiment,cmd: consolidate GOEXPERIMENTs into a new packageAustin Clements
Currently there's knowledge about the list of GOEXPERIMENTs in a few different places. This CL introduces a new package and consolidates the list into one place: the internal/goexperiment.Flags struct type. This package gives us a central place to document the experiments as well as the GOEXPERIMENT environment variable itself. It will also give us a place to put built-time constants derived from the enabled experiments. Now the objabi package constructs experiment names by reflecting over this struct type rather than having a separate list of these names (this is similar to how the compiler handles command-line flags and debug options). We also expose a better-typed API to the toolchain for propagating enabled experiments.
