- New сardmarking write barrier handles large objects and normal objects in a similar fashion (no more additional space for pointer tracking is required, no conditional branches in WB code).
- Changes to enable oldspaces iteration without maps decoding:
-- layout change for FixedArrays: length is stored as a smis (initial patch by
Kevin Millikin)
-- layout change for SharedFunctionInfo: integer fields are stored as smi on
arm, ia32 and rearranged on x64.
-- layout change for String: meaning of LSB bit is fliped (1 now means hash not
computed); on x64 padding is added.
-- layout of maps is _not_ changed. Map space is currently iterated in a special
way.

Chromium build.
v8.gyp no longer sets any V8_TARGET_ARCH_* macro on the Mac. Instead, the
proper V8_TARGET_ARCH_* macro will be set by src/globals.h in the same way as
the V8_HOST_ARCH_* macro when it detects that no target macro is currently
defined. The Mac build will attempt to compile all ia32 and x86_64 .cc files.
#ifdef guards in each of these target-specific source files prevent their
compilation when the associated target is not selected. For completeness,
these #ifdef guards are also provided for the arm and mips .cc files.

The build process must add -DCAN_USE_UNALIGNED_ACCESSES=1 to the
C++ flags to activate the support. This is a commit for
Subrato of CodeAurora. See http://codereview.chromium.org/1731013

The V8 GYP file now uses its own target architecture. It default to the standard target_arch, but can be set to a separate value. E.g. using
export GYP_DEFINES="target_arch=ia32 v8_target_arch=arm"
makes it possible to have the V8 ARM simulator be used in a IA32 build.
Added some checking of supported host/target architecture combinations.

(Fixed handling of out-of-bounds keys.)
String keyed load used to call STRING_CHAR_AT builtin that performs
two steps (get a char code, construct a one-char string from the
code), both of which have fast cases implemented as inline runtime
functions. In this chage most of the code from these functions is
extracted to a set of common generator functions in StringStubBase and
the fast cases are grouped together in the IC code.

We need to be careful to check global property cells for the property
encountered during lookup. Therefore, the ICs have to be specific to
the name of the property if global objects are involved. In
principle, this means that we could get a large number of monomorphic
ICs for the same map if there is a global object in the prototype
chain. However, since this is only done for normal load ICs and not
for keyed load ICs I do not expect this to be a problem. I will
experiment with it once this goes in.

This is to make possible enabling usage of the new profiling subsystem
in Chromium without much hassle. The idea is pretty simple: unless the
new profiling API is used, all works as usual, as soon as Chromium
starts to use the new API, it will work too.

In browser (DevTools) mode, only non-native JS code and callbacks are reported.
Also, added "(garbage collector)" entry which accumulates samples count in GC state.
Trying to display "(compiler)" and "(external)" only brings confusion,
because it ends up in displaying scripts code under "(compiler)" node, and DOM
event handlers under "(external)" node, which looks weird.

Thus, now there is a "generic" SplayTree and its Zone-bound
specialization ZoneSplayTree.
This is needed for my reimplementation of profiler tree generation in
C++. As generation is performed in a separate thread, Zone can't be
used, because it intentionally not thread-safe.

1. Avoid using SKIP_WRITE_BARRIER when we don't have to (smis).
2. Check and document the remaining uses of SKIP_WRITE_BARRIER.
3. Only allow GetWriteBarrierMode when in an AssertNoAllocation scope.
The only functional change should be in DeepCopyBoilerplate where we
no longer use the write barrier mode (because of allocations). I'm
running benchmarks to see if this has a measurable impact on performance.

When a function is called with a value type as the receiver this is now boxed as an object.
This is a low-impact solution where the receiver is only boxed when required. For IC calls to the V8 builtins values are not boxed and as most of the functions on String.prototype, Number.prototype and Boolean.prototype are sitting there most IC calls on values will not need any boxing of the receiver.
For calls which are not IC calls but calls through the CallFunctionStub a flag is used to determine whether the receiver might be a value and only when that is the case will the receiver be boxed.
No changtes to Function.call and Function.apply - they already boxed values. According to the ES5 spec the receiver should not be boxed for these functions, but current browsers have not adopted that change yet.

On 32-bit the maps are now aligned on a 32-byte boundary in order to encode more maps during compacting GC. The actual size of a map on 32-bit is 28 bytes making this change waste 4 bytes per map.
On 64-bit the encoding for compacting GC is now using more than 32-bits and the maps here are still pointer size aligned. The actual size of a map on 64-bit is 48 bytes and this change does not intruduce any waste.
My choice of 16 bits for kMapPageIndexBits for 64-bit should give the same maximum number of pages (8K) for map space. As maps on 64-bit are larger than on 32-bit the total number of maps on 64-bit will be smaller than on 32-bit. We could consider raising this to 17 or 18.
I moved the kPageSizeBits to globals.h as the calculation of the encoding really depended on this.
There are still an #ifdef/#endif in objects.h and this constant could be moved to globaks.h as well, but I kept it together with the related constants.
All the tests run in debug mode with additional options --gc-global --always-compact as well (except for a few tests on which also fails before this change when run with --gc-global --always-compact).

Instead of weak handles external strings use a separate table. This
table uses 5 times less memory than weak handles. Moreover, since we
don't have to follow the weak handle callback protocol we can collect
the strings faster and even on scavenge collections.

available. We use this to ensure that snapshots on MacOSX can
use SSE2 instructions. Also clean up and assertify the
handling of things we can't do when we are generating a
snapshot. Fix a bug in the new serialization tests where
they activated Snapshot::enable() too late after code had been
generated that assumed no snapshots.

space is similar to map space in that it has fixed-size objects. A
common superclass for a space with fixed size objects is used for the
map space and cell space.
Allocate all cells in cell space. Handle it during all GCs. Modify
the free-list node representation (so that the size is not at a fixed
offset in all cells) to allow two-pointer free-list nodes. Clean up
some stuff in the MC collector.
