cmd/compile: insert scheduling checks on loop backedges
Loop breaking with a counter. Benchmarked (see comments),
eyeball checked for sanity on popular loops. This code
ought to handle loops in general, and properly inserts phi
functions in cases where the earlier version might not have.
Includes test, plus modifications to test/run.go to deal with
timeout and killing looping test. Tests broken by the addition
of extra code (branch frequency and live vars) for added
checks turn the check insertion off.
If GOEXPERIMENT=preemptibleloops, the compiler inserts reschedule
checks on every backedge of every reducible loop. Alternately,
specifying GO_GCFLAGS=-d=ssa/insert_resched_checks/on will
enable it for a single compilation, but because the core Go
libraries contain some loops that may run long, this is less
likely to have the desired effect.
This is intended as a tool to help in the study and diagnosis
of GC and other latency problems, now that goal STW GC latency
is on the order of 100 microseconds or less.
