@prattmic requested issue #53542 to be considered for backport to the next 1.17 minor release.

@gopherbot please backport to 1.17 and 1.18.

This triggers a false positive in the race detector for programs calling runtime/metrics.Read from multiple goroutines. There is a workaround: use a single global lock around all calls to metrics.Read in the program. However, that is quite invasive and has serious performance implications for a high-performance API.
