At the start of a GC cycle, the garbage collector computes the assist ratio based on the total scannable heap size. This was intended to be conservative; after all, this assumes the entire heap may be reachable and hence needs to be scanned. But it only assumes that the *current* entire heap may be reachable. It fails to account for heap allocated during the GC cycle. If the trigger ratio is very low (near zero), and most of the heap is reachable when GC starts (which is likely if the trigger ratio is near zero), then it's possible for the mutator to create new, reachable heap fast enough that the assists won't keep up based on the assist ratio computed at the beginning of the cycle. As a result, the heap can grow beyond the heap goal (by hundreds of megs in stress tests like in issue #11911). We already have some vestigial logic for dealing with situations like this; it just doesn't run often enough. Currently, every 10 ms during the GC cycle, the GC revises the assist ratio. This was put in before we switched to a conservative assist ratio (when we really were using estimates of scannable heap), and it turns out to be exactly what we need now. However, every 10 ms is far too infrequent for a rapidly allocating mutator. This commit reuses this logic, but replaces the 10 ms timer with revising the assist ratio every time the heap is locked, which coincides precisely with when the statistics used to compute the assist ratio are updated. Fixes #11911.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
