<title>runtime: don't hard-code physical page size</title>

Now that the runtime fetches the true physical page size from the OS,
make the physical page size used by heap growth a variable instead of
a constant. This isn't used in any performance-critical paths, so it
shouldn't be an issue.

sys.PhysPageSize is also renamed to sys.DefaultPhysPageSize to make it
clear that it's not necessarily the true page size. There are no uses
of this constant any more, but we'll keep it around for now.

Updates #12480 and #10180.

<title>runtime: assume 64kB physical pages on ARM</title>

<id>d7de8b6d231289b7a6b205508c6f02a5a475cc84</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we assume the physical page size on ARM is 4kB. While this
is usually true, the architecture also supports 16kB and 64kB physical
pages, and Linux (and possibly other OSes) can be configured to use
these larger page sizes.

With Go 1.6, such a configuration could potentially run, but generally
resulted in memory corruption or random panics. With current master,
this configuration will cause the runtime to panic during init on
Linux when it checks the true physical page size (and will still cause
corruption or panics on other OSes).

However, the assumed physical page size only has to be a multiple of
the true physical page size, the scavenger can now deal with large
physical page sizes, and the rest of the runtime can deal with a
larger assumed physical page size than the true size. Hence, there's
little disadvantage to conservatively setting the assumed physical
page size to 64kB on ARM.

This may result in some extra memory use, since we can only return
memory at multiples of the assumed physical page size. However, it is
a simple change that should make Go run on systems configured for
larger page sizes. The following commits will make the runtime query
the actual physical page size from the OS, but this is a simple step
there.

Updates #12480.

<title>runtime: insufficient padding in the `p` structure</title>

The current padding in the 'p' struct is hardcoded at 64 bytes. It should be the
cache line size. On ppc64x, the current value is only okay because sys.CacheLineSize
is wrong at 64 bytes. This change fixes that by making the padding equal to the
cache line size. It also fixes the cache line size for ppc64/ppc64le to 128 bytes.

Fixes #16477

Now that we have ops that can return 2 results, have BSF return a result
and flags.  We can then get rid of the redundant comparison and use CMOV
instead of CMOVconst ops.

Get rid of a bunch of the ops we don't use.  Ctz{8,16}, plus all the Clzs,
and CMOVNEs.  I don't think we'll ever use them, and they would be easy
to add back if needed.

<title>runtime/internal/sys: implement Ctz and Bswap in assembly for 386</title>

Ctz is a hot-spot in the Go 1.7 memory manager. In SSA it's
implemented as an intrinsic that compiles to a few instructions, but
on the old backend (all architectures other than amd64), it's
implemented as a fairly complex Go function. As a result, switching to
bitmap-based allocation was a significant hit to allocation-heavy
workloads like BinaryTree17 on non-SSA platforms.

For unknown reasons, this hit 386 particularly hard. We can regain a
lot of the lost performance by implementing Ctz in assembly on the
386. This isn't as good as an intrinsic, since it still generates a
function call and prevents useful inlining, but it's much better than
the pure Go implementation:

Prior to this commit, BinaryTree17-12 on 386 was 33% slower than at
the go1.6 tag. With this commit, it's 13% slower.

On arm and arm64, BinaryTree17-12 is only ~5% slower than it was at
go1.6. It may be worth implementing Ctz for them as well.

I consider this change low risk, since the functions it replaces are
simple, very well specified, and well tested.

For #16117.

Prior to this commit, BinaryTree17-12 on 386 was 33% slower than at
the go1.6 tag. With this commit, it's 13% slower.

On arm and arm64, BinaryTree17-12 is only ~5% slower than it was at
go1.6. It may be worth implementing Ctz for them as well.

I consider this change low risk, since the functions it replaces are
simple, very well specified, and well tested.

For #16117.

Use deBruijn sequences to count low-order zeros.
Reorg bswap to not use &amp;^, it takes another instruction on x86.

After mdempsky's recent changes, these are the only references to
"TheChar" left in the Go tree. Without the context, and without
knowing the history, this is confusing.

Also rename sys.TheGoos and sys.TheGoarch to sys.GOOS
and sys.GOARCH.

Also change the heap dump format to include sys.GOARCH
rather than TheChar, which is no longer a concept.

Updates #15169 (changes heapdump format)

<title>cmd/compile: added some intrinsics to SSA back end</title>

One intrinsic was needed to help get the very best
performance out of a future GC; as long as that one was
being added, I also added Bswap since that is sometimes
a handy thing to have.  I had intended to fill out the
bit-scan intrinsic family, but the mismatch between the
"scan forward" instruction and "count leading zeroes"
was large enough to cause me to leave it out -- it poses
a dilemma that I'd rather dodge right now.

These intrinsics are not exposed for general use.
That's a separate issue requiring an API proposal change
( https://github.com/golang/proposal )

All intrinsics are tested, both that they are substituted
on the appropriate architecture, and that they produce the
expected result.
