2025-10-31runtime: avoid zeroing scavenged memoryLance Yang
On Linux, memory returned to the kernel via MADV_DONTNEED is guaranteed to be zero-filled on its next use. This commit leverages this kernel behavior to avoid a redundant software zeroing pass in the runtime, improving performance.

2025-03-04runtime: decorate anonymous memory mappingsLénaïc Huard
Leverage the prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, ...) API to name the anonymous memory areas. This API has been introduced in Linux 5.17 to decorate the anonymous memory areas shown in /proc/<pid>/maps. This is already used by glibc. See: * https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=malloc/malloc.c;h=27dfd1eb907f4615b70c70237c42c552bb4f26a8;hb=HEAD#l2434 * https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/setvmaname.c;h=ea93a5ffbebc9e5a7e32a297138f465724b4725f;hb=HEAD#l63 This can be useful when investigating the memory consumption of a multi-language program. On a 100% Go program, pprof profiler can be used to profile the memory consumption of the program. But pprof is only aware of what happens within the Go world. On a multi-language program, there could be a doubt about whether the suspicious extra-memory consumption comes from the Go part or the native part. With this change, the following Go program: package main import ( "fmt" "log" "os" ) /* #include <stdlib.h> void f(void) { (void)malloc(1024*1024*1024); } */ import "C" func main() { C.f() data, err := os.ReadFile("/proc/self/maps") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Println(string(data)) } produces this output: $ GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.mem.decorate_maps=1 ~/doc/devel/open-source/go/bin/go run .

2023-08-22runtime: avoid MADV_HUGEPAGE for heap memoryMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently the runtime marks all new memory as MADV_HUGEPAGE on Linux and manages its hugepage eligibility status. Unfortunately, the default THP behavior on most Linux distros is that MADV_HUGEPAGE blocks while the kernel eagerly reclaims and compacts memory to allocate a hugepage. This direct reclaim and compaction is unbounded, and may result in significant application thread stalls. In really bad cases, this can exceed 100s of ms or even seconds. Really all we want is to undo MADV_NOHUGEPAGE marks and let the default Linux paging behavior take over, but the only way to unmark a region as MADV_NOHUGEPAGE is to also mark it MADV_HUGEPAGE. The overall strategy of trying to keep hugepages for the heap unbroken however is sound. So instead let's use the new shiny MADV_COLLAPSE if it exists. MADV_COLLAPSE makes a best-effort synchronous attempt at collapsing the physical memory backing a memory region into a hugepage. We'll use MADV_COLLAPSE where we would've used MADV_HUGEPAGE, and stop using MADV_NOHUGEPAGE altogether. Because MADV_COLLAPSE is synchronous, it's also important to not re-collapse huge pages if the huge pages are likely part of some large allocation. Although in many cases it's advantageous to back these allocations with hugepages because they're contiguous, eagerly collapsing every hugepage means having to page in at least part of the large allocation. However, because we won't use MADV_NOHUGEPAGE anymore, we'll no longer handle the fact that khugepaged might come in and back some memory we returned to the OS with a hugepage. I've come to the conclusion that this is basically unavoidable without a new madvise flag and that it's just not a good default. If this change lands, advice about Linux huge page settings will be added to the GC guide. Verified that this change doesn't regress Sweet, at least not on my machine with: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled [always or madvise] /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag [madvise] /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none [0 or 511] Unfortunately, this workaround means that we only get forced hugepages on Linux 6.1+. Fixes #61718.

2020-10-26runtime: delineate which memstats are system stats with a typeMichael Anthony Knyszek
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.

2019-05-06runtime: ensure free and unscavenged spans may be backed by huge pagesMichael Anthony Knyszek
This change adds a new sysHugePage function to provide the equivalent of Linux's madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) support to the runtime. It then uses sysHugePage to mark a newly-coalesced free span as backable by huge pages to make the freeHugePages approximation a bit more accurate. The problem being solved here is that if a large free span is composed of many small spans which were coalesced together, then there's a chance that they have had madvise(MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) called on them at some point, which makes freeHugePages less accurate. For #30333.

2019-03-04runtime: use MADV_FREE_REUSABLE on darwinMichael Anthony Knyszek
Currently on darwin we use MADV_FREE, which unfortunately doesn't result in a change in the process's RSS until pages actually get kicked out, which the OS is free to do lazily (e.g. until it finds itself under memory pressure). To remedy this, we instead use MADV_FREE_REUSABLE which has similar semantics, except that it also sets a reusable bit on each page so the process's RSS gets reported more accurately. The one caveat is for every time we call MADV_FREE_REUSABLE on a region we must call MADV_FREE_REUSE to keep the kernel's accounting updated. Also, because this change requires adding new constants that only exist on darwin, it splits mem_bsd.go into mem_bsd.go and mem_darwin.go. Fixes #29844.

2018-02-15runtime: remove non-reserved heap logicAustin Clements
Currently large sysReserve calls on some OSes don't actually reserve the memory, but just check that it can be reserved. This was important when we called sysReserve to "reserve" many gigabytes for the heap up front, but now that we map memory in small increments as we need it, this complication is no longer necessary. This has one curious side benefit: currently, on Linux, allocations that are large enough to be rejected by mmap wind up freezing the application for a long time before it panics. This happens because sysReserve doesn't reserve the memory, so sysMap calls mmap_fixed, which calls mmap, which fails because the mapping is too large. However, mmap_fixed doesn't inspect *why* mmap fails, so it falls back to probing every page in the desired region individually with mincore before performing an (otherwise dangerous) MAP_FIXED mapping, which will also fail. This takes a long time for a large region. Now this logic is gone, so the mmap failure leads to an immediate panic. Updates #10460.

2017-10-18runtime: separate error result for mmapAustin Clements
Currently mmap returns an unsafe.Pointer that encodes OS errors as values less than 4096. In practice this is okay, but it borders on being really unsafe: for example, the value has to be checked immediately after return and if stack copying were ever to observe such a value, it would panic. It's also not remotely idiomatic. Fix this by making mmap return a separate pointer value and error, like a normal Go function. Updates #22218.

2016-03-01all: make copyright headers consistent with one space after periodBrad Fitzpatrick
This is a subset of https://golang.org/cl/20022 with only the copyright header lines, so the next CL will be smaller and more reviewable. Go policy has been single space after periods in comments for some time. The copyright header template at: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html#copyright also uses a single space. Make them all consistent.

2015-04-24runtime: implement xadduintptr and update system mstats using itSrdjan Petrovic
The motivation is that sysAlloc/Free() currently aren't safe to be called without a valid G, because arm's xadd64() uses locks that require a valid G. The solution here was proposed by Dmitry Vyukov: use xadduintptr() instead of xadd64(), until arm can support xadd64 on all of its architectures (not a trivial task for arm).
