This switches out the existing constant splitting with masking that works like this:
1. Generate a random 32-bit value at compilation time.
2. XOR the 32-bit constant with the random value.
3. Emit the resulting immediate value along with the XOR operation to generate the original value.

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.

If a two-byte string only contains ascii characters, then we can save
memory when flattening a cons string containing it. Similarly we can
use this in Array.prototype.join implementation. To track this a new
bit is added to instance type. This bit is used as a hint in generated
code and in runtime functions.
To enable testing a new V8 extension is added controlled by
--expose-externalize-string flag.

Added support for more precise break points when debugging and stepping. To achieve that additional nop instructions are inserted where breaking would otherwise be impossible. The number of nop instructions inserted are sufficient to make place for patching with a call to a debug break code stub. On Intel that is 5 nop's for 32-bit and 13 for 64-bit. Om ARM 3 nop instructions (12 bytes) are required.
In order to avoid inserting nop's in to many places a simple ast checker have been added to check whether there are breakable code in a statement or expression. If it is possible to break in an expression no additional break enabeling code is inserted.
Added break locations to the true and false part of a conditional expression.
Added stepping tests to cover more constructs.
These changes are only in the full compiler.
Changed the default value for the option --debugger in teh d8 shell from true to false. The reason for this is that with --debugger turned on the full compiler will be used for all code in when running d8, which can be unexpeceted.

The full compiler is now complete on ARM as well. The syntax checker is still used to determine whether to use it for top level code or not during normal execution. When debugging is enabled all code will be compiled with the full compiler.
This change removes the temporary flag --force-full-compiler and now the flag --always-full-compiler enables the full compiler for all code on all platforms.
This also fixes building on Intel platform without debugger support (ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT not defined) and adds full check for the full compiler for lazily compiled code.

- 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.

The full compiler will now be used for all code compiler when debugging is active. As the code generated by the full compiler is much simpler it will be easier to make debugging work better when using that code.
To ensure that all code debugged is from the full compiler all functions will have to be recompiled when starting debugging. Initialing debugging already turns off the code cache.

In the CEntryStub keep track of the actual skew from the correct alignment to ensure proper alignment before calling the runtime. Add checks to test the expected skew when running on hardware.
Use the PrepareCallCFunction/CallCFunction in a few other places.
Add check to the ARM simulator for correct alignment.
Add option --sim-stack-alignment to set the stack alignment in the simulator. Currntly only values 4 and 8 makes sense. 8 is the default to make snapshots generated with the simulator work on hardware requiring 8 byte stack alignment.

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.

This change adds the option to peel off the first iteration of inner loops.
Loop peeling is off by default and can enabled by a flag. It also requires building a flow graph.
As part of this I added the possibility to clone AST nodes.

A variable usage analysis pass was run on toplevel and lazily-compiled
code but never used. Remove this pass and the data structures it
builds.
The representation of variable usage for Variables has been changed
from a struct containing a (weighted) count of reads and writes to a
simple flag. VariableProxies are always used, as before. The unused
"object uses" is removed.

The flow graph is built by walking the AST. Edges are labeled with
instructions (AST nodes). Normal nodes have a single predecessor edge and a
single (labeled) successor edge. Branch nodes are explicit, they have a
single predecessor edge and a pair of (unlabeled) successor edges. Merge
nodes are explicit, they have a pair of predecessor edges and a single
(unlabeled) successor edge.
There is a distinguished (normal) entry node and a distinguished (special)
exit node with arbitrarily many predecessor edges and no successor edges.
The graph is intended to support graph-based analysis and transformation.

Always invoke HeapObjectIterator::has_next() before invoking HeapObjectIterator::next().
This is necessary as ::has_next() has an important side-effect of going to the next
page when current page is exhausted.
And to find if pointers are encodable use more precise data---top of map space, not a number
of pages, as pages might stay in map space due to chunking.
