objects in the startup heap from a partial snapshot. This happens
through the partial snapshot cache. A startup snapshot and a
partial snapshot are created together so that the startup snapshot
contains the partial snapshot cache entries needed.

true. The rules are:
1. Heap::AllocateRaw can normally handle allocation requests in new
space even when always_allocate() is true. It properly retries
failed allocation in the second 'retry' space.
2. Heap::Allocate can normally handle allocation requests in new
space.
3. We only need to check always_allocate() when explicitly requesting
allocation in new space via Heap::new_space().AllocateRaw().
4. The exception to these rules is fixed arrays with size such that
MaxObjectSizeInPagedSpace < size <= MaxObjectSizeInNewSpace (ie,
those that will be allocated in new space and promoted to large
object space). They cannot be allocated in new space via
Heap::Allocate or Heap::AllocateRaw, because the retry logic does
not know to allocate extra remembered set bits when retrying in
large object space.

that attempt to run with a small heap. Additionally, it can
potentially keep a lot of string data alive and it is never flushed.
Can we make it grow dynamically if used so that we can still start the
VM with a small heap size?

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.

The different length string types was used to encode the string length and the hash in one field. This is now split into two fields one for length and one for hash. The hash field still encodes the array index of the string if it has one. If an array index is encoded in the hash field the string length is added to the top bits of the hash field to avoid a hash value of zero.
On 32-bit this causes an additional 4 bytes to be used for all string objects. On 64-bit this will be half on average dur to pointer alignment.

potentially leading to bogus FatalProcessOutOfMemory situations. Also
fixed a few cases where callers relied on getting a NewSpace object
back (to avoid write barrier overhead) which they can't when
always_allocate is in effect.

In the generated code for function.apply there was a loop checking the stack limit for interruption. This loop would call into the runtime system to handle interuption and keep running until there was no interruption. However if the interuption was debug break the runtime system would never clear the interruption as debug break is prevented in builtins are prevented and the assumption here was that returning with the debug break flag set would move execution forward.
Renamed initial_jslimit and initial_climit to real_jslimit and real_climit. Renamed a few external references related to the stack limit as well.
Exposed the real stack limit to generated code to make the stack check when entering function.apply use the real stack limit and not the stack limit which is changed to signal interruption.
Added the real stack limit to the roots array.

As the list of code-stubs is used in two places it is now handled through a macro to keep this in sync. As some code-stubs is only used on ARM the list have been split into two parts to indicate this and get rid of dummy implementation on ia32 and x64 platforms.

when using snapshots.
The alignment of new space has to match the alignment in the snapshot,
but the max committed amount of memory does not.
For now, we assume that the default semispace size is always used in a
snapshot.

specification under development. The optimizations are patterned after
those previously done for CanvasPixelArray. This CL adds all of the
necessary framework but continues to use the generic KeyedLoadIC and
KeyedStoreIC code, to create a baseline for benchmarking purposes. The
next CL will add the optimized ICs to ic-ia32.cc and ic-x64.cc.
These new CanvasArray types have different semantics than
CanvasPixelArray; out-of-range values are clamped via C cast
semantics, which is cheaper than the clamping behavior specified by
CanvasPixelArray. Out-of-range indices raise exceptions instead of
being silently ignored.
As part of this work, pulled FloatingPointHelper::AllocateHeapNumber
up to MacroAssembler on ia32 and x64 platforms. Slightly refactored
KeyedLoadIC and KeyedStoreIC. Fixed encoding for fistp_d on x64 and
added a few more instructions that are needed for the new ICs. The
test cases in test-api.cc have been verified by hand to exercise all
of the generated code paths in the forthcoming specialized ICs.

Turned on with '--log-producers' flag, also needs '--noinline-new' (this is temporarily), '--log-code', '--log-gc'. Not all allocations are traced (I'm investigating.)
Stacks are stored using weak handles. Thus, when an object is collected, its allocation stack is deleted.
