Currently, the process of suspending a goroutine is tied to stack
scanning. In preparation for non-cooperative preemption, this CL
abstracts this into general purpose suspendG/resumeG functions.
suspendG and resumeG closely follow the existing scang and restartg
functions with one exception: the addition of a _Gpreempted status.
Currently, preemption tasks (stack scanning) are carried out by the
target goroutine if it's in _Grunning. In this new approach, the task
is always carried out by the goroutine that called suspendG. Thus, we
need a reliable way to drive the target goroutine out of _Grunning
until the requesting goroutine is ready to resume it. The new
_Gpreempted state provides the handshake: when a runnable goroutine
responds to a preemption request, it now parks itself and enters
_Gpreempted. The requesting goroutine races to put it in _Gwaiting,
which gives it ownership, but also the responsibility to start it
again.
This CL adds several TODOs about improving the synchronization on the
G status. The existing code already has these problems; we're just
taking note of them.
The next CL will remove the now-dead scang and preemptscan.
