This change adds a global set of heap statistics which are similar to existing memory statistics. The purpose of these new statistics is to be able to read them and get a consistent result without stopping the world. The goal is to eventually replace as many of the existing memstats statistics with the sharded ones as possible. The consistent memory statistics use a tailor-made synchronization mechanism to allow writers (allocators) to proceed with minimal synchronization by using a sequence counter and a global generation counter to determine which set of statistics to update. Readers increment the global generation counter to effectively grab a snapshot of the statistics, and then iterate over all Ps using the sequence counter to ensure that they may safely read the snapshotted statistics. To keep statistics fresh, the reader also has a responsibility to merge sets of statistics. These consistent statistics are computed, but otherwise unused for now. Upcoming changes will integrate them with the rest of the codebase and will begin to phase out existing statistics.
