// maxPtrmaskBytes is the maximum length of a GC ptrmask bitmap,

// information is used by the runtime to initialize the heap bitmap,
// and for large types (like 128 or more words), they are roughly the
// same speed. GC programs are never much larger and often more
// compact. (If large arrays are involved, they can be arbitrarily
// more compact.)
//
// The cutoff must be large enough that any allocation large enough to
// use a GC program is large enough that it does not share heap bitmap
// bytes with any other objects, allowing the GC program execution to
// assume an aligned start and not use atomic operations. In the current
// runtime, this means all malloc size classes larger than the cutoff must
// be multiples of four words. On 32-bit systems that's 16 bytes, and
// all size classes >= 16 bytes are 16-byte aligned, so no real constraint.
// On 64-bit systems, that's 32 bytes, and 32-byte alignment is guaranteed
// for size classes >= 256 bytes. On a 64-bit system, 256 bytes allocated
// is 32 pointers, the bits for which fit in 4 bytes. So maxPtrmaskBytes
// must be >= 4.
//
// We used to use 16 because the GC programs do have some constant overhead
// to get started, and processing 128 pointers seems to be enough to
// amortize that overhead well.
//
// To make sure that the runtime's chansend can call typeBitsBulkBarrier,
// we raised the limit to 2048, so that even 32-bit systems are guaranteed to
// use bitmaps for objects up to 64 kB in size.
