runtime: perform concurrent scan in GC workers
Currently the concurrent root scan is performed in its entirety by the
GC coordinator before entering concurrent mark (which enables GC
workers). This scan is done sequentially, which can prolong the scan
phase, delay the mark phase, and means that the scan phase does not
obey the 25% CPU goal. Furthermore, there's no need to complete the
root scan before starting marking (in fact, we already allow GC
assists to happen during the scan phase), so this acts as an
unnecessary barrier between root scanning and marking.
This change shifts the root scan work out of the GC coordinator and in
to the GC workers. The coordinator simply sets up the scan state and
enqueues the right number of root scan jobs. The GC workers then drain
the root scan jobs prior to draining heap scan jobs.
This parallelizes the root scan process, makes it obey the 25% CPU
goal, and effectively eliminates root scanning as an isolated phase,
allowing the system to smoothly transition from root scanning to heap
marking. This also eliminates a major non-STW responsibility of the GC
coordinator, which will make it easier to switch to a decentralized
state machine. Finally, it puts us in a good position to perform root
scanning in assists as well, which will help satisfy assists at the
beginning of the GC cycle.
This is mostly straightforward. One tricky aspect is that we have to
deal with preemption deadlock: where two non-preemptible gorountines
are trying to preempt each other to perform a stack scan. Given the
context where this happens, the only instance of this is two
background workers trying to scan each other. We avoid this by simply
not scanning the stacks of background workers during the concurrent
phase; this is safe because we'll scan them during mark termination
(and their stacks are *very* small and should not contain any new
pointers).
This change also switches the root marking during mark termination to
use the same gcDrain-based code path as concurrent mark. This
shouldn't affect performance because STW root marking was already
parallel and tasks switched to heap marking immediately when no more
root marking tasks were available. However, it simplifies the code and
unifies these code paths.
This has negligible effect on the go1 benchmarks. It slightly slows
down the garbage benchmark, possibly by making GC run slightly more
frequently.
