/cc @aclements for statistics. All these race flakes seem very recent.

There are many race-related flakes on the dashboard. I feel like shipping a Go 1.6 at this point would mean shipping a potentially broken race detector.

@dvyukov, any clue why?

I ran stress -p1 ./race.test on linux/amd64 from tip and got 8 / 32 failures. Then I reverted the most obvious candidate I could think of -- c5f0f88 ("runtime/race: update race runtime") -- and I've had 0 / 16 failures. And as I was about to submit this comment, it ticked over to 1 / 22 :-) but it still seems like the update didn't help.

CL https://golang.org/cl/18968 mentions this issue.

Ran some longer tests, seems less clear. I guess it should be possible to bisect over the last few months of development given that it was a cm/dist problem preventing the tests from being run rather than anything preventing go test -race runtime/race from working. Would take a while though.
