What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.9 linux/amd64

Also happens on master.

What did you do?

Attempt to manually trigger a GC using runtime.GC() while GOGC is set to off:
https://play.golang.org/p/vB6-urJJ7M

What did you expect to see?

The GC should run.

What did you see instead?

The GC does not run.

This is a regression from 1.8 caused by my rewrite of gcShouldStart into (gcTrigger).test. I've marked this for Go 1.9.1. I'm not sure how important it is, but it's also easy to fix.

Change https://golang.org/cl/70979 mentions this issue: [release-branch.go1.9] runtime: make runtime.GC() trigger GC even if GOGC=off

[release-branch.go1.9] runtime: make runtime.GC() trigger GC even if …
ebfcdef 
…GOGC=off

Currently, the priority of checks in (gcTrigger).test() puts the
gcpercent<0 test above gcTriggerCycle, which is used for runtime.GC().
This is an unintentional change from 1.8 and before, where
runtime.GC() triggered a GC even if GOGC=off.

Fix this by rearranging the priority so the gcTriggerCycle test
executes even if gcpercent < 0.

Fixes #22023.
