runtime: disallow GC assists in non-preemptible contexts Currently it's possible to perform GC work on a system stack or when locks are held if there's an allocation that triggers an assist. This is generally a bad idea because of the fragility of these contexts, and it's incompatible with two changes we're about to make: one is to yield after signaling mark completion (which we can't do from a non-preemptible context) and the other is to make assists block if there's no other way for them to pay off the assist debt. This commit simply skips the assist if it's called from a non-preemptible context. The allocation will still count toward the assist debt, so it will be paid off by a later assist. There should be little allocation from non-preemptible contexts, so this shouldn't harm the overall assist mechanism.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.
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
