_content/doc: update huge page details with max_ptes_none workarounds

Go 1.21.1 and Go 1.22 have ceased working around an issue with Linux
kernel defaults for transparent huge pages that can result in excessive
memory overheads. (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93111)

Many Linux distributions disable huge pages altogether these days, so
this problem isn't quite as far-reaching as it used to be. Also, the
problem only affects Go programs with very particular memory usage
patterns.

That being said, because the runtime used to actively deal with this
problem (but with some unpredictable behavior), it's preventing users
that don't have a lot of control over their execution environment from
upgrading to Go beyond Go 1.20.

This adds documentation about this change in behavior in both the GC
guide and the Go 1.21 release notes.

For golang/go#64332.

Go website

Go Reference

This repo holds content and serving programs for the go.dev and golang.org web sites.

Content is in _content/ (go.dev) and tour/ (go.dev/tour). Server code is in cmd/ and internal/.

To run the combined go.dev+golang.org server to preview local content changes, use:

go run ./cmd/golangorg

The supporting programs cmd/admingolangorg and cmd/googlegolangorg are the servers for admin.golang.org and google.golang.org. (They do not use the _content/ directories.)

Each command directory has its own README.md explaining deployment.

JS/TS/CSS Formatting

This repository uses eslint to format JS and TS files, and stylelint to format CSS files.

See also:

It is encouraged that all JS, TS, and CSS code be run through formatters before submitting a change. However, it is not a strict requirement enforced by CI.

Installing npm Dependencies:

  1. Install docker
  2. Create a .gitignore file at repo root
  3. Add .gitignore and node_modules to .gitignore
  4. Run ./npm install

Run ESlint

./npx eslint [options] [file] [dir]

Run Stylelint

./npx stylelint [input] [options]

TypeScript Support

TypeScript files served from _content are transformed into JavaScript. Reference .ts files in html templates as module code.

<script type="module" src="/ts/filename.ts">

Write unit tests for TypeScript code using the jest testing framework.

Run Jest

./npx jest [TestPathPattern]

Deploying

Each time a CL is reviewed and submitted, the code is deployed to App Engine. See cmd/golangorg/README.md for details.

Report Issues / Send Patches
