During the GC mark phase, one of the first behaviors of findRunnable is
to check if it should execute a GC mark worker. Mark workers often run
for many milliseconds in a row, so programs that invoke the scheduler
more frequently will see that condition trigger only a tiny fraction of
the time.
Obtaining a mark worker from the gcBgMarkWorkerPool involves a CAS on a
single memory location that's shared across the process. When GOMAXPROCS
is large, the resulting contention can waste a significant amount of CPU
time. But a sufficiently large GOMAXPROCS also means there's no need for
fractional mark workers, making it easier to check ahead of time if we
need to run a worker.
Check, without committing to a particular worker, whether we would even
want to run one.
