The main issue was due to multiple recompilations of functions. Now
code objects are grouped by function using SFI object address.
JSFunction objects are no longer tracked, instead we track SFI object
moves. To pick a correct code version, we now sample return addresses
instead of JSFunction addresses.
tools/{linux|mac|windows}-tickprocessor scripts differentiate
between code optimization states for the same function
(using * and ~ prefixes introduced earlier).
DevTools CPU profiler treats all variants of function code as
a single function.
ll_prof treats each optimized variant as a separate entry, because
it can disassemble each one of them.
tickprocessor.py not updated -- it is deprecated and will be removed.

Instead of constructing a temporary container for all LOperands of each
instruction, the register works directly on the LIR instructions that
provide an abstract interface for input/output/temp operands.
This saves allocation of zone memory and speeds up LIR construction,
but makes iterating over all uses in the register allocator slightly
more expensive because environment uses are stored in a linked list of
environments. We can fix this by using a flat representation of LOperands.

Instead of spilling and then immediately restoring eax to resolve
memory to memory moves, the gap move resolver now tracks registers
that are known to be free and uses one if available. If not it spills
but restores lazily when the spilled value is needed or at the end of
the algorithm.
Instead of using esi for resolving cycles and assuming it is free to
overwrite because it can be rematerialized, the gap move resolver now
resolves cycles using swaps, possibly using a free register as above.
The algorithm is also changed to be simpler: a recursive depth-first
traversal of the move dependence graph. It uses a list of moves to be
performed (because it mutates the moves themselves), but does not use
any auxiliary structure other than the control stack. It does not
build up a separate list of scheduled moves to be interpreted by the
code generate, but emits code on the fly.

This patch enables two new flags for the tools/test.py script;
--shard-count - giving the ability to split the tests to be run
into shard-count chunks.
--shard-run - giving the ability to specify which of the shards to actually run.
Example
tools/test.py -j15 --shard-count=2 --shard-run=1 mozilla
would split the mozilla tests into two chunks and run the tests in the first chunk
Running:
tools/test.py -j15 --shard-count=2 --shard-run=1 mozilla
tools/test.py -j15 --shard-count=2 --shard-run=2 mozilla
is equivalent (in terms of test coverage) of just running:
tools/test.py -j15 mozilla
In addition, tests are now sorted before they are returned from the
test specific ListTests methods (sputnik and mozilla tests where
already sorted before they where returned).
This change is needed to split a single test suite over two slaves on
the waterfall.

Since 2.6.31 perf_events interface has been available in the
kernel. There's a nice tool called "perf" (linux-2.6/tools/perf) that
uses this interface and provides capabilities similar to oprofile. The
simplest form of its usage is just dumping the raw log (trace) of
events generated by the kernel. In this patch I'm adding a script
(tools/ll_prof.py) to build profiles based on perf trace and our code
log. All the heavy-lifting is done by perf. Compared to oprofile agent
this approach does not require recompilation and supports code moving
garbage collections.
Expected usage is documented in the ll_prof's help. Basically one
should run V8 under perf passing --ll-prof flag and then the produced
logs can be analyzed by tools/ll_prof.py.
The new --ll-prof flag enables logging of generated code object
locations and names (like --log-code), and also of their bodies, which
can be later disassembled and annotated by the script.

of having a list of virtual frame pointers in the jump
target we have one virtual frame, which is the frame that
all have to merge to to branch to that frame. The virtual
frame in the JumpTarget is inside the JumpTarget, rather than
being an allocated object that is pointed to. Unfortunately
this means that the JumpTarget class has to be able to see
the size of a VirtualFrame object to compile, which in turn
lead to a major reorganization of related .h files. The
actual change of functionality in this change is intended
to be minimal (we now assert that the virtual frames match
when using JumpTarget instead of just assuming that they do).

Each frame element gets a new attribute with number type information. A frame element can be:
- smi
- heap number
- number (i.e. either of the above)
- or something else.
The type information is propagated along with all virtual frame operations.
Results popped from the frame carry the number information with them.
Two optimizations in the code generator make use of the new
information:
- GenericBinaryOpSyub omits map checks if input operands are numbers.
- Boolean conversion for numbers: Emit inline code for converting a number (smi or heap number) to boolean. Do not emit call to ToBoolean stub in this case.

The problem appeared due to a fact that stubs doesn't create a stack
frame, reusing the stack frame of the caller function. When building
stack traces, the current function is retrieved from PC, and its
callees are retrieved by traversing the stack backwards. Thus, for
stubs, the stub itself was discovered via PC, and then stub's caller's
caller was retrieved from stack.
To fix this problem, a pointer to JSFunction object is now captured
from the topmost stack frame, and is saved into stack trace log
record. Then a simple heuristics is applied whether a referred
function should be added to decoded stack, or not, to avoid reporting
the same function twice (from PC and from the pointer.)

As this is only needed for internal profiling (not for DevTools),
the following approach had been chosen:
- during snapshot creation, positions of serialized objects inside
a snapshot are logged;
- then during V8 initialization, positions of deserealized objects
are logged;
- those positions are used for retrieving code objects names from
snapshot creation log, which needs to be supplied to tick processor
script.
Positions logging is controlled with the new flag: --log_snapshot_positions.
This flag is turned off by default, and this adds no startup penalty.
To plug this fix to Golem, the following actions are needed:
- logs created using 'mksnapshot' need to be stored along with VM images;
- tick processor script needs to be run with '--snapshot-log=...' cmdline
argument.

fast code generator is optimized for compilation time and code size.
Currently it is only implemented on IA32. It is potentially triggered
for any code in the global scope (including code eval'd in the global
scope). It performs a syntactic check and chooses to compile in fast
mode if the AST contains only supported constructs and matches some
other constraints.
Initially supported constructs are
* ExpressionStatement,
* ReturnStatement,
* VariableProxy (variable references) to parameters and
stack-allocated locals,
* Assignment with lhs a parameter or stack-allocated local, and
* Literal
This allows compilation of literals at the top level and not much
else.
All intermediate values are allocated to temporaries and the stack is
used for all temporaries. The extra memory traffic is a known issue.

The profile is taken together with constructors profile. In theory, it
should represent a complete heap graph. However, this takes a lot of memory,
so it is reduced to a more compact, but still useful form. Namely:
- objects are aggregated by their constructors, except for Array and Object
instances, that are too hetereogeneous;
- for Arrays and Objects, initially every instance is concerned, but then
they are grouped together based on their retainer graph paths similarity (e.g.
if two objects has the same retainer, they are considered equal);

Also, add user time into heap sample begin events to make '--log-gc' flag alone sufficient for producing heap logs (previously, samples times were extracted from scavenge events which are only logged with '--log' flag).

'nm' is now called with an option to report function code sizes. Static code entries are restricted to the sizes reported, and the remaining unnamed code is attributed to a library as a whole. This makes reports more accurate, as some functions are tiny, but has chunks of unnamed code behind them.
This change doesn't affect reporting on Windows, as in .map files function code sizes aren't specified.

Without an explicit check if a function belongs to shared library address space, "finishing" a library symbols processing with 'addPrevEntry(libEnd);' can cause emission of code entries which cover almost the entire address space, shadowing other code.

The main problem was due to the following: after Erik had fixed the logger to report library addresses, tickprocessor started to add to the code map entries that covered almost entire memory. This happened because tickprocessor contains a heuristic to bias addresses of functions from dynamic libraries:
if (funcInfo.start < libStart && funcInfo.start < libEnd - libStart) {
funcInfo.start += libStart;
}
And, as tickprocessor tried to process all symbols from the library, including data entries, which can be outside reported library addresses range, the second condition failed, and funcInfo.start remained unbiased.

To profile running the JavaScript file test.js using the V8 release mode shell (assuming it is build passing prof=oprofile to the SCons build). The following commands can be used:
$ tools/oprofile/start
$ tools/oprofile/run test.js
$ tools/oprofile/report | less
$ tools/oprofile/annotate | less
$ tools/oprofile/shutdown
Here is a summary of the commands.
For all the commands taking an executable the executable is expected to be a binary using V8. If no executable is specified the release mode V8 shell is assumed.
By default the --session-dir=/tmp/oprofv8 is passed to all oprofile commands. This walue can be changed by setting environment variable OPROFILE_SESSION_DIR.
When using the defaulf executable (V8 shell in release mode) it is assumed to be located in ../.. relative from the oprofile utility scripts. This default location can be overridden using the V8_SHELL_DIR environment variable.
start
-----
Start the oprofiling daemon.
run [executable] [parameters]
-----------------------------
Profile a V8 executable. Running this will reset oprofile samples, run the command and do an oprofile dump to flush samples and write ELF binaries for the generated code. The parameters are passed to the executable together with the --oprofile option.
report [executable] [parameters]
--------------------------------
Print the report for a profile run. The parameters are passed to opreport. E.g report --callgraph.
annotate [executable] [parameters]
----------------------------------
Print annotated assembly for a profile run. The parameters are passed to opannotate. E.g annotate -threshold 1.
reset
-----
Reset oprofile samples.
dump
----
Flush oprofile samples and write ELF binaries for the generated code.
shutdown
--------
Shutdown oprofile daemon.
Added a warning which is printed if option --oprofile is passed to a V8 which has not been compiled with oprofile support.

This is a trivial per-row compression:
- short aliases are introduced for events and code creation tags;
- in tick events, offsets are used instead of absolute addresses;
- removed 'code-allocation' event, as it seems not used.
The first two options are depend on the new flag: 'compress-log', which is off by default.
On benchmarks run w/o snapshot, this gives 45% log size reduction.

The goal of this change is to allow longer profiling sessions and preserve memory when profiler isn't started. The buffer starts with 64K and grows until it reaches the upper limit, which is currently set to 50MB --- according to my evaluations, this is enough for at least 20 minutes of GMail profiling. As we're planning to introduce compression for the profiler log, this time boundary will be significantly increased soon.
To make possible unit testing of the new component, I've factored out Logger's utility classes into a separate source file: log-utils.h/cc. Log and LogMessageBuilder are moved there from log.cc without any semantical changes.

This reduces compilation time by roughly 10% and we should be able to make the slow case equality checking of frame elements faster as well.

This will enable reading profiler log in Chrome. The current implementation of memory buffer is trivial (fixed size buffer, no memory recycling) but enough to start end-to-end DevTools Profiler implementation. Later it will be enhanced.

The current version is now held in src/version.cc in a number of defines which needs to be modified when changing version.
The following defines make up the version information:
MAJOR_VERSION
MINOR_VERSION
BUILD_NUMBER
PATCH_LEVEL
CANDIDATE_VERSION
The first four are numbers and the fifth is a boolean. Besides these five the define
SONAME
can be used to set a specific soname when building the a shared library (see below). This will most likely be used on stable branches where binary compatibility is ensured between different versions. This define is a string.
This version information is now read by the SCons build to support setting the soname for a Linux shared library. This requires passing the option soname=on to the SCons build.
When soname=on is specified the soname for the shared library can be set in two different ways. Either it will be the full versioned library name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so) or a specific soname defined in src/version.cc. Whenever a shared library is build with an soname the filename of the library will hold the full version name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so).
I did not update the xcode project with the new files.

This is an effort to reuse profiler data processing code both in
TickProcessor and Dev Tools Profiler. The old Python implementation
will be removed.
The new TickProcessor works almost identical to the previous one.
However, it has some differences:
1. Not very useful "Call profile" section is replaced with a new
WebKit-like "Bottom up (heavy) profile" which shows the most
expensive functions together with their callers. I used it
personally in order to find and remove bottlenecks in the
tickprocessor script itself, and found it quite helpful.
2. Code entries with duplicate names (they occur for RegExes, stubs
and sometimes for anonymous Function objects) are now distinguished
by adding an occurence number inside curly brackets.
3. (Address -> code entry) mapping is more precise in boundary cases.
4. Windows version no more requires specifying .map file location.
5. Works faster.

Gyp is used to generate project files used to build chromium. Moving
the v8.gyp file to the v8 repository makes it easier to have V8 and
the v8.gyp file synchronized (so a DEPS update in chromium gets the
right v8.gyp file associated with that revision of V8).

This is the first step in reimplementing tick processing scripts in

Golem, so Python implementation will be removed to avoid code

Currently function name inference is wired with AST optimization pass to avoid introducing another pass over AST. A better solution would be to rewrite AST visitors so they can be naturally combined together in a single pass, as their current implementation doesn't allow it.
For examples of cases where function names can be inferred, see the tests file.

Fix exception propagation problem where undefined was returned instead
of an empty handle in case of an exception. This problem can break
C++ programs that are not interested in catching exceptions and just
want to propagate them out by testing for empty handles.
The issue is that exceptions are not rescheduled if they are
externally caught. Externally caught exceptions have to be
rescheduled if there is a JavaScript frame on the way to the C++ frame
that holds the external handler.
A couple of tests will fail on the ARM simulator because the simulator
has separate stacks for C++ and JavaScript. I have marked the tests
as failing only on the simulator.
