Can transition efficiently to // Ready. Accessing memory in such a region is undefined (may // fault, may give back unexpected zeroes, etc.). // 4) Ready - may be accessed safely. // // This set of states is more than is strictly necessary to support all the // currently supported platforms. One could get by with just None, Reserved, and // Ready. However, the Prepared state gives us flexibility for performance // purposes. For example, on POSIX-y operating systems, Reserved is usually a // private anonymous mmap'd region with PROT_NONE set, and to transition // to Ready would require setting PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE. However the // underspecification of Prepared lets us use just MADV_FREE to transition from // Ready to Prepared. Thus with the Prepared state we can set the permission // bits just once early on, we can efficiently tell the OS that it's free to // take pages away from us when we don't strictly need them. // // This file defines a cross-OS interface for a common set of helpers // that transition memory regions between these states. The helpers call into // OS-specific implementations that handle errors, while the interface boundary // implements cross-OS functionality, like updating runtime accounting. // sysAlloc transitions an OS-chosen region of memory from None to Ready. // More specifically, it obtains a large chunk of zeroed memory from the // operating system, typically on the order of a hundred kilobytes // or a megabyte. This memory is always immediately available for use. // // sysStat must be non-nil. // // Don't split the stack as this function may be invoked without a valid G, // which prevents us from allocating more stack. // //go:nosplit func sysAlloc(n uintptr, sysStat *sysMemStat) unsafe.Pointer { sysStat.add(int64(n)) gcController.mappedReady.Add(int64(n)) return sysAllocOS(n) } // sysUnused transitions a memory region from Ready to Prepared. It notifies the // operating system that the physical pages backing this memory region are no // longer needed and can be reused for other purposes.
