runtime/hashmap.go contains this TODO:

		// TODO: reuse overflow buckets instead of using new ones, if there
		// is no iterator using the old buckets.  (If !oldIterator.)

This issue is to track this TODO, and make it easier to refer to in commit messages, etc., since I am looking into some related optimizations.

runtime: refactor hmap setoverflow into newoverflow 
This simplifies the code, as well as providing
a single place to modify to change the
allocation of new overflow buckets.

runtime: convert hmap.overflow into hmap.extra 
Any change to how we allocate overflow buckets
will require some extra hmap storage,
but we don't want hmap to grow,
particular as small maps usually don't need overflow buckets.

This CL converts the existing hmap overflow field,
which is usually used for pointer-free maps,
into a generic extra field.

This extra field can be used to hold data that is optional.
If it is valuable enough to do have special
handling of overflow buckets, which are medium-sized,
it is valuable enough to pay an extra alloc and two extra words for.

Adding fields to extra would entail adding overhead to pointer-free maps;
any mapextra fields added would need to be weighed against that.
This CL is just rearrangement, though.

@josharian
runtime: add bmap.setoverflow 
bmap already has a overflow (getter) method.
Add a setoverflow (setter) method, for readability.

@josharian
runtime: preallocate some overflow buckets 
When allocating a non-small array of buckets for a map,
also preallocate some overflow buckets.

The estimate of the number of overflow buckets
is based on a simulation of putting mid=(low+high)/2 elements
into a map, where low is the minimum number of elements
needed to reach this value of b (according to overLoadFactor),
and high is the maximum number of elements possible
to put in this value of b (according to overLoadFactor).
This estimate is surprisingly reliable and accurate.

The number of overflow buckets needed is quadratic,
for a fixed value of b.
Using this mid estimate means that we will overallocate a few
too many overflow buckets when the actual number of elements is near low,
and underallocate significantly too few overflow buckets
when the actual number of elements is near high.

The mechanism introduced in this CL can be re-used for
other overflow bucket optimizations.

For example, given an initial size hint,
we could estimate quite precisely the number of overflow buckets.
This is #19931.

We could also change from "non-nil means end-of-list"
to "pointer-to-hmap.buckets means end-of-list",
and then create a linked list of reusable overflow buckets
when they are freed by map growth.
That is #19992.

We could also use a similar mechanism to do bulk allocation
of overflow buckets.
All these uses can co-exist with only the one additional pointer
in mapextra, given a little care.

CL 40979 and its associated patches laid some groundwork for this, if anyone wants to investigate further. I don't plan to, during this cycle at least. See in particular Keith's comment: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/40979/1/src/runtime/hashmap.go#215.
