    runtime: report next_gc for initial heap size in gctrace · cb10ff1e
    Austin Clements authored
    Currently, the initial heap size reported in the gctrace line is the
    heap_live right before sweep termination. However, we triggered GC
    when heap_live reached next_gc, and there may have been significant
    allocation between that point and the beginning of sweep
    termination. Ideally these would be essentially the same, but
    currently there's scheduler delay when readying the GC goroutine as
    well as delay from background sweep finalization.
    
    We should fix this delay, but in the mean time, to give the user a
    better idea of how much the heap grew during the whole of garbage
    collection, report the trigger rather than what the heap size happened
    to be after the garbage collector finished rolling out of bed. This
    will also be more useful for heap growth plots.
