The skips added in CL 12579, based on incorrect time stamps,
should be sufficient to identify and exclude all the time-related
flakiness on these systems.
If there is other flakiness, we want to find out.

Nearly all the flaky failures we've seen in trace tests have been
due to the use of time stamps to determine relative event ordering.
This is tricky for many reasons, including:
- different cores might not have exactly synchronized clocks
- VMs are worse than real hardware
- non-x86 chips have different timer resolution than x86 chips
- on fast systems two events can end up with the same time stamp
Stop trying to make time reliable. It's clearly not going to be for Go 1.5.
Instead, record an explicit event sequence number for ordering.
Using our own counter solves all of the above problems.
The trace still contains time stamps, of course. The sequence number
is just used for ordering.
Should alleviate #10554 somewhat. Then tickDiv can be chosen to
be a useful time unit instead of having to be exact for ordering.
Separating ordering and time stamps lets the trace parser diagnose
systems where the time stamp order and actual order do not match
for one reason or another. This CL adds that check to the end of
trace.Parse, after all other sequence order-based checking.
If that error is found, we skip the test instead of failing it.
Putting the check in trace.Parse means that cmd/trace will pick
up the same check, refusing to display a trace where the time stamps
do not match actual ordering.
Using net/http's BenchmarkClientServerParallel4 on various CPU counts,
not tracing vs tracing:
name old time/op new time/op delta
ClientServerParallel4 50.4µs ± 4% 80.2µs ± 4% +59.06% (p=0.000 n=10+10)

The layout code has to date insisted on stack frames that are 16-aligned
including the saved LR, and it ensured this by growing the frame itself.
This breaks code that refers to values near the top of the frame by positive
offset from SP, and in general it's too magical: if you see TEXT xxx, $N,
you expect that the frame size is actually N, not sometimes N and sometimes N+8.
This led to a serious bug in the compiler where ambiguously live values
were not being zeroed correctly, which in turn triggered an assertion
in the GC about finding only valid pointers. The compiler has been
fixed to always emit aligned frames, and the hand-written assembly
has also been fixed.
Now that everything is aligned, make unaligned an error instead of
something to "fix" silently.
For #9880.

The nosplit stack overflow checks were confused about morestack.
The comment about not having correct SP information at the call
to morestack was true, but that was a real bug, not something to
work around. I fixed that problem in CL 12144. With that fixed,
no need to special-case morestack in the way done here.
This cleanup and simplification of the code was the first step
to fixing a bug that happened when I started working on the
arm64 frame size adjustments, but the cleanup was sufficient
to make the bug go away.

arm64 requires either no stack frame or a frame with a size that is 8 mod 16
(adding the saved LR will make it 16-aligned).
The cmd/internal/obj/arm64 has been silently aligning frames, but it led to
a terrible bug when the compiler and obj disagreed on the frame size,
and it's just generally confusing, so we're going to make misaligned frames
an error instead of something that is silently changed.
This CL prepares by updating assembly files.
Note that the changes in this CL are already being done silently by
cmd/internal/obj/arm64, so there is no semantic effect here,
just a clarity effect.

This adds a GCCPUFraction field to MemStats that reports the
cumulative fraction of the program's execution time spent in the
garbage collector. This is equivalent to the utilization percent shown
in the gctrace output and makes this available programmatically.
This does make one small effect on the gctrace output: we now report
the duration of mark termination up to just before the final
start-the-world, rather than up to just after. However, unlike
stop-the-world, I don't believe there's any way that start-the-world
can block, so it should take negligible time.
While there are many statistics one might want to expose via MemStats,
this is one of the few that will undoubtedly remain meaningful
regardless of future changes to the memory system.
The diff for this change is larger than the actual change. Mostly it
lifts the code for computing the GC CPU utilization out of the
debug.gctrace path.

The following sequence of events can lead to the runtime attempting an
out-of-bounds access on a stack barrier slice:
1. A SIGPROF comes in on a thread while the G on that thread is in
_Gsyscall. The sigprof handler calls gentraceback, which saves a
local copy of the G's stkbar slice. Currently the G has no stack
barriers, so this slice is empty.
2. On another thread, the GC concurrently scans the stack of the
goroutine being profiled (it considers it stopped because it's in
_Gsyscall) and installs stack barriers.
3. Back on the sigprof thread, gentraceback comes across a stack
barrier in the stack and attempts to look it up in its (zero
length) copy of G's old stkbar slice, which causes an out-of-bounds
access.
This commit fixes this by adding a simple cas spin to synchronize the
SIGPROF handler with stack barrier insertion.
In general I would prefer that this synchronization be done through
the G status, since that's how stack scans are otherwise synchronized,
but adding a new lock is a much smaller change and G statuses are full
of subtlety.

The scheduler, work buffer's dispose, and write barriers
can conspire to hide the a pointer from the GC's concurent
mark phase. If this pointer is the only path to a large
amount of marking the STW mark termination phase may take
a lot of time.
Consider the following:
1) dispose places a work buffer on the partial queue
2) the GC is busy so it does not immediately remove and
process the work buffer
3) the scheduler runs a mutator whose write barrier dequeues the
work buffer from the partial queue so the GC won't see it
This repeats until the GC reaches the mark termination
phase where the GC finally discovers the pointer along
with a lot of work to do.
This CL fixes the problem by having the mutator
dispose of the buffer to the full queue instead of
the partial queue. Since the write buffer never asks for full
buffers the conspiracy described above is not possible.

The new Token API is meant to sit on the side of the Decoder,
so that you only get the new code (and any latent bugs in it)
if you are actively using the Token API.
The unconditional use of dec.peek in dec.tokenPrepareForDecode
violates that intention.
Change tokenPrepareForDecode not to call dec.peek unless needed
(because the Token API has advanced the state).
This restores the old code path behavior, no peeking allowed.
I checked by patching in the new tests from CL 12726 that
this change suffices to "fix" the error handling bug in dec.peek.
Obviously that bug should be fixed too, but the point is that
with this CL, bugs in dec.peek do not affect plain use of Decode
or Unmarshal.
I also checked by putting a panic in dec.peek that the only
tests that now invoke peek are:
TestDecodeInStream
ExampleDecoder_Token
ExampleDecoder_Decode_stream
and those tests all invoke dec.Token directly.

gcWork cache after that cache has been flushed but before caching is
disabled, that work may remain in that cache until mark termination.
If that work represents a heap bottleneck (e.g., a single pointer that
is the only way to reach a large amount of the heap), this can force
mark termination to do a large amount of work, resulting in a long
STW.
Fix this by reversing the order of these steps: first disable caching,
then flush all existing caches.
Rick Hudson <rlh> did the hard work of tracking this down. This CL
combined with CL 12672 and CL 12646 distills the critical parts of his
fix from CL 12539.
Fixes #11694.

Currently the GC coordinator enables GC assists at the same time it
enables background mark workers, after the concurrent scan phase is
done. However, this means a rapidly allocating mutator has the entire
scan phase during which to allocate beyond the heap trigger and
potentially beyond the heap goal with no back-pressure from assists.
This prevents the feedback system that's supposed to keep the heap
size under the heap goal from doing its job.
Fix this by enabling mutator assists during the scan phase. This is
safe because the write barrier is already enabled and globally
acknowledged at this point.
There's still a very small window between when the heap size reaches
the heap trigger and when the GC coordinator is able to stop the world
during which the mutator can allocate unabated. This allows *very*
rapidly allocator mutators like TestTraceStress to still occasionally
exceed the heap goal by a small amount (~20 MB at most for
TestTraceStress). However, this seems like a corner case.
Fixes #11677.

Currently we hand-code a set of phases when draining is allowed.
However, this set of phases is conservative. The critical invariant is
simply that the write barrier must be enabled if we're draining.
Shortly we're going to enable mutator assists during the scan phase,
which means we may drain during the scan phase. In preparation, this
commit generalizes these assertions to check the fundamental condition
that the write barrier is enabled, rather than checking that we're in
any particular phase.

Currently we clear both the mark 1 and mark 2 signals at the beginning
of concurrent mark. If either if these is clear, it acts as a signal
to the scheduler that it should start background workers. However,
this means that in the interim *between* mark 1 and mark 2, the
scheduler basically loops starting up new workers only to have them
return with nothing to do. In addition to harming performance and
delaying mutator work, this approach has a race where workers started
for mark 1 can mistakenly signal mark 2, causing it to complete
prematurely. This approach also interferes with starting assists
earlier to fix #11677.
Fix this by initially setting both mark 1 and mark 2 to "signaled".
The scheduler will not start background mark workers, though assists
can still run. When we're ready to enter mark 1, we clear the mark 1
signal and wait for it. Then, when we're ready to enter mark 2, we
clear the mark 2 signal and wait for it.
This structure also lets us deal cleanly with the situation where all
work is drained *prior* to the mark 2 wait, meaning that there may be
no workers to signal completion. Currently we deal with this using a
racy (and possibly incorrect) check for work in the coordinator itself
to skip the mark 2 wait if there's no work. This change makes the
coordinator unconditionally wait for mark completion and makes the
scheduler itself signal completion by slightly extending the logic it
already has to determine that there's no work and hence no use in
starting a new worker.
This is a prerequisite to fixing the remaining component of #11677,
which will require enabling assists during the scan phase. However, we
don't want to enable background workers until the mark phase because
they will compete with the scan. This change lets us use bgMark1 and
bgMark2 to indicate when it's okay to start background workers
independent of assists.
This is also a prerequisite to fixing #11694. It significantly reduces
the occurrence of long mark termination pauses in #11694 (from 64 out
of 1000 to 2 out of 1000 in one experiment).
Coincidentally, this also reduces the final heap size (and hence run
time) of TestTraceStress from ~100 MB and ~1.9 seconds to ~14 MB and
~0.4 seconds because it significantly shortens concurrent mark
duration.

Currently, there are three ways to satisfy a GC assist: 1) the mutator
steals credit from background GC, 2) the mutator actually does GC
work, and 3) there is no more work available. 3 was never really
intended as a way to satisfy an assist, and it causes problems: there
are periods when it's expected that the GC won't have any work, such
as when transitioning from mark 1 to mark 2 and from mark 2 to mark
termination. During these periods, there's no back-pressure on rapidly
allocating mutators, which lets them race ahead of the heap goal.
For example, test/init1.go and the runtime/trace test both have small
reachable heaps and contain loops that rapidly allocate large garbage
byte slices. This bug lets these tests exceed the heap goal by several
orders of magnitude.
Fix this by forcing the assist (and hence the allocation) to block
until it can satisfy its debt via either 1 or 2, or the GC cycle
terminates.
This fixes one the causes of #11677. It's still possible to overshoot
the GC heap goal, but with this change the overshoot is almost exactly
by the amount of allocation that happens during the concurrent scan
phase, between when the heap passes the GC trigger and when the GC
enables assists.

Currently it's possible for the GC assist to signal completion of the
mark phase, which puts the GC coordinator goroutine on the current P's
run queue, and then return to mutator code that delays until the next
forced preemption before actually yielding control to the GC
coordinator, dragging out completion of the mark phase. This delay can
be further exacerbated if the mutator makes other goroutines runnable
before yielding control, since this will push the GC coordinator on
the back of the P's run queue.
To fix this, this adds a Gosched to the assist if it completed the
mark phase. This immediately and directly yields control to the GC
coordinator. This already happens implicitly in the background mark
workers because they park immediately after completing the mark.
This is one of the reasons completion of the mark phase is being
dragged out and allowing the mutator to allocate without assisting,
leading to the large heap goal overshoot in issue #11677. This is also
a prerequisite to making the assist block when it can't pay off its
debt.
