I'm going to change CPU profiler API and deprecate GetSelfTime, GetTotalTime and GetTotalSamplesCount on CpuProfileNode as all of those values are derived from self samples count and sampling rate. The sampling rate in turn is calculate based on the profiling duration so having start/end time and total sample count is enough for calculating smpling rate.

Sampling rate is now calculated as total number of samples divided by profiling time in ms. Before the patch the sampling rate was updated once per 100ms which doesn't have any obvious advantage over the simpler method.
Also we are going to get rid of the profile node self and total time calculation in the v8 CPU profiler and only expose profiling start/end time for CpuProfile and number of ticks on each ProfileNode and let clients do all the math should they need it.

The SafeStackFrameIterator used by CPU profiler checked if Isolate::c_entry_fp is null and if it is not it would think that the control flow currently is in some native code. This assumption is wrong because the native code could have called a JS function but JSEntryStub would not reset c_entry_fp to NULL in that case. This CL adds a check in SafeStackFrameIterator::IsValidTop for the case when there is a JAVA_SCRIPT frame on top of EXIT frame.
Also this CL changes ExternalCallbackScope behavior to provide access to the whole stack of the scope objects instead of only top one. This allowed to provide exact callback names for those EXIT frames where external callbacks are called. Without this change it was possible only for the top most native call.

In this case we know its caller's pc and can correctly resolve calling function.
1) Frame of the calling JavaScript function that invoked .apply(). In this case we have no practical reliable way to find out the caller's pc so we mark the caller's frame as 'unresolved'.
All this logic is implemented in ProfileGenerator. SafeStackFrameIterator is extended to provide type of the current top stack frame (iteration actually starts from the caller's frame as we know top function from pc).

Instead of dropping the sample or its two top frames we simply mark the caller frame as '(unresolved function)'. It seems like a better approach that dropping whole sample as knowing the top function and the rest of the stack the user should be able to figure out what the caller was.

The only way to get v8::CpuProfiler instance in the V8 public API is to call v8::Iolate::GetCpuProfiler(). The method will return NULL if the isolate has not been initialized yet or has been torn down already. It is the client's reponsibility to make sure that CPU profiling has been stopped before disposing of the isolate.
This CL adds a test for this and several ASSRTS enforcing that assumptions. This allowed to be sure that heap is always setup when CPU profiling is being started. Based on that the number of places where already compiled functions are reported to the profiler event processor boils down to the single place (CpuProfiler::StartProcessorIfNotStarted). I'm going to rely on this assumption in further changes.

CPU profiler doesn't use stack handlers so there is no need to iterate through them while traversing stack. This change SafeStackFrameIterator always iterate only frames and removes checks corresponding to the handlers iteration.
The problem described in the bug occurred because of a false assumption in SafeStackFrameIterator that if Isolate::c_entry_fp is not NULL then the top frame on the stack is always a C++ frame. It is false because we may have entered JS code again, in which case JS_ENTRY code stub generated by JSEntryStub::GenerateBody() will save current c_entry_fp value but not reset it to NULL and after that it will create ENTRY stack frame and JS_ENTRY handler on the stack and put the latter into Isolate::handler(top). This means that if we start iterating from c_entry_fp frame and try to compare the frame's sp with Isolate::handler()->address() it will turn out that frame->sp() > handler->address() and the condition in SafeStackFrameIterator::CanIterateHandles is not held.

This change modifies code produced by BaseLoadStubCompiler::GenerateLoadCallback so that instead of calling AccessorGetter direcly it calls InvokeAccessorGetter which changes VM state and calls the actual callback. This way CPU profiler knows which external callback is being executed in this case. Indirect call happens only if CpuProfiler::is_profiling() is true.

This change fixes the case when the accessors are invoked from JSObject::{Get,Set}PropertyWithCallback.
It already works for inlined calls generated by StoreStubCompiler::CompileStoreCallback. The same still needs to be fixed for getter invocations generated by BaseLoadStubCompiler::CompileLoadCallback, corresponding case is commented out in the new test.
This is a slightly modified version of r14915 which was rolled back due to test timeout on Windows. Compared to r14915 the new tests use OS::TimeCurrentMillis instead of OS::Ticks as OS::Ticks has ms precision on Windows and trying to wait 10 ticks (us) will result in at least 1 ms pause.

Stack iterator takes return address based on the frame pointer (ebp) and detects JS frames based on value at fp + StandardFrameConstants::kMarkerOffset. So in order the iterator to work correctly this values should be already setup for the current function. Stack frame is constructed at the very beginning of JS function code and destroyed before return. If sample is taken before before the frame construction is completed or after it was destroyed the stack iterator will wrongly think that FP points at the current functions frame base and will skip callers frame. To avoid this we mark code ranges where stack frame doesn't exist and completely ignore such samples.
This fixes cctest/test-cpu-profiler/CollectCpuProfile flakiness.

The new test checks full CPU profiling cycle: using public
V8 API it starts profiling, executes a script, stops profiling
and analyzes collected profile to check that its top-down
tree has expected strutcture. The script that is being profiled
is guaranteed to run > 200ms to make sure enough samples
are collected.
To avoid possible flakiness due to non-deterministic time required
to start new thread on varios OSs when Sampler and ProfilerEventsProcessor
threads are being started the main thread is blocked until the threads
are running.
Also I removed the heuristic in profile-generator.cc where we try
to figure out if the value on top of the sampled stack is return address
of some frameless stub invocation. The code periodically gives false positive
with the new test ending up in an extra node in the collected cpu profile.
After discussion with jkummerow@ we concluded that the logic is too fragile
and that we can address frameless stub invocations in a more reliable way
later should they have a noticeable effect on cpu profiling.

The patch is based on the previous one that was rolled out: https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/detail?r=12985
On Linux sampling for CPU profiler is initiated on the profiler event processor thread, other platforms to follow.
CPU profiler continues to use SamplingCircularQueue, we will replave it with a single sample buffer when Mac and Win ports support profiling on the event processing thread.
When --prof option is specified profiling is initiated either on the profiler event processor thread if CPU profiler is on or on the SignalSender thread as it used to if no CPU profiles are being collected.
ProfilerEventsProcessor::ProcessEventsAndDoSample now waits in a tight loop, processing collected samples until sampling interval expires. To save CPU resources I'm planning to change that to use nanosleep as only one sample is expected in the queue at any point.

Thread class was receiving an isolate parameter by default.
This approact violates the assumption that only VM threads
can have an associated isolate, and can lead to troubles,
because accessing the same isolate from different threads
leads to race conditions.
This was found by investigating mysterious failures of the
CPU profiler layout test on Linux Chromium. As almost all
threads were associated with some isolate, the sampler was
trying to sample them.
As a side effect, we have also fixed the DebuggerAgent test.

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.

As several pages can run in a single V8 instance, it is possible to
have functions from different security contexts intermixed in a single
CPU profile. To avoid exposing function names from one page to
another, filtering is introduced.
The basic idea is that instead of capturing return addresses from
stack, we're now capturing JSFunction addresses (as we anyway work
only with JS stack frames.) Each JSFunction can reach out for
context's security token. When providing a profile to a page, the
profile is filtered using the security token of caller page. Any
functions with different security tokens are filtered out (yes, we
only do fast path check for now) and their ticks are attributed to
their parents.
