2025-06-18runtime: set mspan limit field early and eagerlyMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently the mspan limit field is set after allocSpan returns, *after* the span has already been published to the GC (including the conservative scanner). But the limit field is load-bearing, because it's checked to filter out invalid pointers. A stale limit value could cause a crash by having the conservative scanner access allocBits out of bounds. Fix this by setting the mspan limit field before publishing the span. For large objects and arena chunks, we adjust the limit down after allocSpan because we don't have access to the true object's size from allocSpan. However this is safe, since we first initialize the limit to something definitely safe (the actual span bounds) and only adjust it down after. Adjusting it down has the benefit of more precise debug output, but the window in which it's imprecise is also fine because a single object (logically, with arena chunks) occupies the whole span, so the 'invalid' part of the memory will just safely point back to that object. We can't do this for smaller objects because the limit will include space that does *not* contain any valid objects. Fixes #74288.

2024-10-21runtime: simplify mem profile checking in mallocgcMichael Anthony Knyszek
Checking whether the current allocation needs to be profiled is currently branch-y and weirdly a lot of code. The branches are generally predictable, but it's a surprising number of instructions. Part of the problem is that MemProfileRate is just a global that can be set at any time, so we need to load it and check certain settings explicitly. In an ideal world, we would just always subtract from nextSample and have a single branch to take the slow path if we subtract below zero. If MemProfileRate were a function, we could trash all the nextSample values intentionally in each mcache. This would be slow, but MemProfileRate changes rarely while the malloc hot path is well, hot. Unfortunate... Although this ideal world is, AFAICT, impossible, we can still get close. If we cache the value of MemProfileRate in each mcache, then we can force malloc to take the slow path whenever MemProfileRate changes. This does require two additional loads, but crucially, these loads are independent of everything else in mallocgc. Furthermore, the branch dependent on those loads is incredibly predictable in practice. This CL on its own has little-to-no impact on mallocgc. But this codepath is going to be duplicated in several places in the next CL, so it'll pay to simplify it. Also, we're very much trying to remedy a death-by-a-thousand-cuts situation, and malloc is currently still kind of a monster -- it will not help if mallocgc isn't really streamlined itself. Lastly, there's a nice property now that all nextSample values get immediately re-sampled when MemProfileRate changes.

2022-10-12runtime: add safe arena support to the runtimeMichael Anthony Knyszek
This change adds an API to the runtime for arenas. A later CL can potentially export it as an experimental API, but for now, just the runtime implementation will suffice. The purpose of arenas is to improve efficiency, primarily by allowing for an application to manually free memory, thereby delaying garbage collection. It comes with other potential performance benefits, such as better locality, a better allocation strategy, and better handling of interior pointers by the GC. This implementation is based on one by danscales@google.com with a few significant differences: * The implementation lives entirely in the runtime (all layers). * Arena chunks are the minimum of 8 MiB or the heap arena size. This choice is made because in practice 64 MiB appears to be way too large of an area for most real-world use-cases. * Arena chunks are not unmapped, instead they're placed on an evacuation list and when there are no pointers left pointing into them, they're allowed to be reused. * Reusing partially-used arena chunks no longer tries to find one used by the same P first; it just takes the first one available. * In order to ensure worst-case fragmentation is never worse than 25%, only types and slice backing stores whose sizes are 1/4th the size of a chunk or less may be used. Previously larger sizes, up to the size of the chunk, were allowed. * ASAN, MSAN, and the race detector are fully supported. * Sets arena chunks to fault that were deferred at the end of mark termination (a non-public patch once did this; I don't see a reason not to continue that).

CL 377516 made it so that memory metrics are truly monotonic, but also updated how heapLive tracked allocated memory to also be monotonic. The result is that cached spans with allocated memory aren't fully accounted for by the GC, causing it to make a worse assumption (the exact mechanism is at this time unknown), resulting in a memory regression, especially for smaller heaps. This change is a partial revert of CL 377516 that makes heapLive a non-monotonic overestimate again, which appears to resolve the regression. For #53738.

2022-04-26runtime: make alloc count metrics truly monotonicMichael Anthony Knyszek
Right now we export alloc count metrics via the runtime/metrics package and mark them as monotonic, but that's not actually true. As an optimization, the runtime assumes a span is always fully allocated before being uncached, and updates the accounting as such. In the rare case that it's wrong, the span has enough information to back out what did not get allocated. This change uses 16 bits of padding in the mspan to house another field that represents the amount of mspan slots filled just as the mspan is cached. This is information is enough to get an exact count, allowing us to make the metrics truly monotonic.

2021-10-29runtime: clean up allocation zeroingMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently, the runtime zeroes allocations in several ways. First, small object spans are always zeroed if they come from mheap, and their slots are zeroed later in mallocgc if needed. Second, large object spans (objects that have their own spans) plumb the need for zeroing down into mheap. Thirdly, large objects that have no pointers have their zeroing delayed until after preemption is reenabled, but before returning in mallocgc. All of this has two consequences: 1. Spans for small objects that come from mheap are sometimes unnecessarily zeroed, even if the mallocgc call that created them doesn't need the object slot to be zeroed. 2. This is all messy and difficult to reason about. This CL simplifies this code, resolving both (1) and (2). First, it recognizes that zeroing in mheap is unnecessary for small object spans; mallocgc and its callees in mcache and mcentral, by design, are *always* able to deal with non-zeroed spans. They must, for they deal with recycled spans all the time. Once this fact is made clear, the only remaining use of zeroing in mheap is for large objects. As a result, this CL lifts mheap zeroing for large objects into mallocgc, to parallel all the other codepaths in mallocgc. This is makes the large object allocation code less surprising. Next, this CL sets the flag for the delayed zeroing explicitly in the one case where it matters, and inverts and renames the flag from isZeroed to delayZeroing. Finally, it adds a check to make sure that only pointer-free allocations take the delayed zeroing codepath, as an extra safety measure.

2020-11-02runtime: decouple consistent stats from mcache and allow P-less updateMichael Anthony Knyszek
This change modifies the consistent stats implementation to keep the per-P sequence counter on each P instead of each mcache. A valid mcache is not available everywhere that we want to call e.g. allocSpan, as per issue #42339. By decoupling these two, we can add a mechanism to allow contexts without a P to update stats consistently. In this CL, we achieve that with a mutex. In practice, it will be very rare for an M to update these stats without a P. Furthermore, the stats reader also only needs to hold the mutex across the update to "gen" since once that changes, writers are free to continue updating the new stats generation. Contention could thus only arise between writers without a P, and as mentioned earlier, those should be rare. A nice side-effect of this change is that the consistent stats acquire and release API becomes simpler. Fixes #42339.

Also, add getMCache to the list of functions that should be inlined to prevent future regressions. getMCache is called on the allocation fast path and because its not inlined actually causes a significant regression (~10%) in some microbenchmarks.

2020-10-26runtime: add consistent heap statisticsMichael Anthony Knyszek
This change adds a global set of heap statistics which are similar to existing memory statistics. The purpose of these new statistics is to be able to read them and get a consistent result without stopping the world. The goal is to eventually replace as many of the existing memstats statistics with the sharded ones as possible. The consistent memory statistics use a tailor-made synchronization mechanism to allow writers (allocators) to proceed with minimal synchronization by using a sequence counter and a global generation counter to determine which set of statistics to update. Readers increment the global generation counter to effectively grab a snapshot of the statistics, and then iterate over all Ps using the sequence counter to ensure that they may safely read the snapshotted statistics. To keep statistics fresh, the reader also has a responsibility to merge sets of statistics. These consistent statistics are computed, but otherwise unused for now. Upcoming changes will integrate them with the rest of the codebase and will begin to phase out existing statistics.

2020-10-26runtime: flush local_scan directly and more oftenMichael Anthony Knyszek
Now that local_scan is the last mcache-based statistic that is flushed by purgecachedstats, and heap_scan and gcController.revise may be interacted with concurrently, we don't need to flush heap_scan at arbitrary locations where the heap is locked, and we don't need purgecachedstats and cachestats anymore. Instead, we can flush local_scan at the same time we update heap_live in refill, so the two updates may share the same revise call. Clean up unused functions, remove code that would cause the heap to get locked in the allocSpan when it didn't need to (other than to flush local_scan), and flush local_scan explicitly in a few important places. Notably we need to flush local_scan whenever we flush the other stats, but it doesn't need to be donated anywhere, so have releaseAll do the flushing. Also, we need to flush local_scan before we set heap_scan at the end of a GC, which was previously handled by cachestats. Just do so explicitly -- it's not much code and it becomes a lot more clear why we need to do so.

2020-04-27runtime: add new mcentral implementationMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently mcentral is implemented as a couple of linked lists of spans protected by a lock. Unfortunately this design leads to significant lock contention. The span ownership model is also confusing and complicated. In-use spans jump between being owned by multiple sources, generally some combination of a gcSweepBuf, a concurrent sweeper, an mcentral or an mcache. So first to address contention, this change replaces those linked lists with gcSweepBufs which have an atomic fast path. Then, we change up the ownership model: a span may be simultaneously owned only by an mcentral and the page reclaimer. Otherwise, an mcentral (which now consists of sweep bufs), a sweeper, or an mcache are the sole owners of a span at any given time. This dramatically simplifies reasoning about span ownership in the runtime. As a result of this new ownership model, sweeping is now driven by walking over the mcentrals rather than having its own global list of spans. Because we no longer have a global list and we traditionally haven't used the mcentrals for large object spans, we no longer have anywhere to put large objects. So, this change also makes it so that we keep large object spans in the appropriate mcentral lists. In terms of the static lock ranking, we add the spanSet spine locks in pretty much the same place as the mcentral locks, since they have the potential to be manipulated both on the allocation and sweep paths, like the mcentral locks. This new implementation is turned on by default via a feature flag called go115NewMCentralImpl.

2019-05-24runtime: ensure mheap lock stack growth invariant is maintainedMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently there's an invariant in the runtime wherein the heap lock can only be acquired on the system stack, otherwise a self-deadlock could occur if the stack grows while the lock is held. This invariant is upheld and documented in a number of situations (e.g. allocManual, freeManual) but there are other places where the invariant is either not maintained at all which risks self-deadlock (e.g. setGCPercent, gcResetMarkState, allocmcache) or is maintained but undocumented (e.g. gcSweep, readGCStats_m). This change adds go:systemstack to any function that acquires the heap lock or adds a systemstack(func() { ... }) around the critical section, where appropriate. It also documents the invariant on (*mheap).lock directly and updates repetitive documentation to refer to that comment. Fixes #32105.

2018-10-02runtime: flush mcaches lazilyAustin Clements
Currently, all mcaches are flushed during STW mark termination as a root marking job. This is currently necessary because all spans must be out of these caches before sweeping begins to avoid races with allocation and to ensure the spans are in the state expected by sweeping. We do it as a root marking job because mcache flushing is somewhat expensive and O(GOMAXPROCS) and this parallelizes the work across the Ps. However, it's also the last remaining root marking job performed during mark termination. This CL moves mcache flushing out of mark termination and performs it lazily. We keep track of the last sweepgen at which each mcache was flushed and as each P is woken from STW, it observes that its mcache is out-of-date and flushes it. The introduces a complication for spans cached in stale mcaches. These may now be observed by background or proportional sweeping or when attempting to add a finalizer, but aren't in a stable state. For example, they are likely to be on the wrong mcentral list. To fix this, this CL extends the sweepgen protocol to also capture whether a span is cached and, if so, whether or not its cache is stale. This protocol blocks asynchronous sweeping from touching cached spans and makes it the responsibility of mcache flushing to sweep the flushed spans. This eliminates the last mark termination root marking job, which means we can now eliminate that entire infrastructure. Updates #26903. This implements lazy mcache flushing.

2017-04-28runtime: separate spans of noscan objectsAustin Clements
Currently, we mix objects with pointers and objects without pointers ("noscan" objects) together in memory. As a result, for every object we grey, we have to check that object's heap bits to find out if it's noscan, which adds to the per-object cost of GC. This also hurts the TLB footprint of the garbage collector because it decreases the density of scannable objects at the page level. This commit improves the situation by using separate spans for noscan objects. This will allow a much simpler noscan check (in a follow up CL), eliminate the need to clear the bitmap of noscan objects (in a follow up CL), and improves TLB footprint by increasing the density of scannable objects. This is also a step toward eliminating dead bits, since the current noscan check depends on checking the dead bit of the first word. This has no effect on the heap size of the garbage benchmark. We'll measure the performance change of this after the follow-up optimizations. This is a cherry-pick from dev.garbage commit d491e550c3. The only non-trivial merge conflict was in updatememstats in mstats.go, where we now have to separate the per-spanclass stats from the per-sizeclass stats.

2016-10-28runtime: make fixalloc zero allocations on reuseAustin Clements
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.

2016-04-27[dev.garbage] runtime: allocate directly from GC mark bitsRick Hudson
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.
