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

$ go version
go version go1.19 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What did you do?

package main

import (
	"math/rand"
	"time"
)

var x [512][]*int

func garbageProducer() {
	rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())

	for i := 0; ; i++ {
		n := 6 + rand.Intn(6)
		for j := range x {
			x[j] = make([]*int, 1<<n)
			for k := range x[j] {
				x[j][k] = new(int)
			}
		}
		time.Sleep(time.Second / 1000)
	}
}

func bigStack(c chan int, v byte) byte {
	defer func() {
		c <- 1
	}()
	var s = []byte{33 << 20: 0} // on stack
	for i := range s { s[i] = v }
		
	return s[v]
}

func main() {
	go bigStack(nil, 123)
	go bigStack(nil, 123)
	garbageProducer()
}

It looks, unlike Go 1.18, Go 1.19 uses the real stack sizes in calculating target memory.
But the # MB stacks items in the gc trace lines still show the 2n stack memory block sizes.

BTW, in the runtime docs, https://pkg.go.dev/runtime, # MB stacks and # MB globals are listed but not shown in the format line.

What did you expect to see?

Change https://go.dev/cl/425366 mentions this issue: runtime: update gctrace docs and print lastStackScan instead of max

Thanks, sent a fix.

rajbarik pushed a commit to rajbarik/go that referenced this issue Sep 1, 2022
This change updates the gctrace docs to include stacks and globals in
the format line, and prints lastStackScan for "# MB stacks" instead of
maxStackScan, which is more accurate.

Fixes golang#54649.
