Original descriptions were:
- "Refactor and cleanup VirtualMemory."
- "Fix typo."
- "Deuglify V8_INLINE and V8_NOINLINE."
- "Don't align size on allocation granularity for unaligned ReserveRegion calls."
Reasons for the revert are:
- Our mjsunit test suite slower by a factor of 5(!) in release mode.
- Flaky cctest/test-alloc/CodeRange on all architectures and platforms.
- Tankage of Sunspider by about 6% overall (unverified).

Remove a lot of platform duplication, and simplify the virtual
memory implementation. Also improve readability by avoiding bool
parameters for executability (use a dedicated Executability type
instead).
Get rid of the Isolate::UncheckedCurrent() call in the platform
code, as part of the Isolate TLS cleanup.
Use a dedicated random number generator for the address
randomization, instead of messing with the per-isolate random
number generators.

Observation in the normal case (Object.observe, default accept types, one observer) now allocates fewer objects and unobservation no longer needs to scan and splice an InternalArray -- making the combined speed of observe/unobserve about 200% faster.
This patch implements the following optimizations:
-objectInfo is initially created without any connected objects or arrays. The first observer is referenced directly by objectInfo, and when a second observer is added, changeObservers converts to a mapping of callbackPriority->observer, which allows for constant time registration/de-registration.
-observer.accept and objectInfo.performing are conceptually the same data-structure. This is now directly represented as an abstract "TypeMap" which can later be optimized to be a smi in common cases, (e.g: https://codereview.chromium.org/19269007/).
-objectInfo observers are only represented by an object with an accept typeMap if the set of accept types is non-default

The RandomNumberGenerator is a pseudorandom number generator
with 48-bit state. It is properly seeded using either
(1) the --random-seed if specified, or
(2) the entropy_source function if configured, or
(3) /dev/urandom if available, or
(4) falls back to Time and TimeTicks based seeding.
Each Isolate now contains a RandomNumberGenerator, which replaces
the previous private_random_seed.
Every native context still has its own random_seed. But this random
seed is now properly initialized during bootstrapping,
instead of on-demand initialization. This will allow us to cleanup
and speedup the HRandom implementation quite a lot (this is delayed
for a followup CL)!
Also stop messing with the system rand()/random(), which should
not be done from a library anyway! We probably re-seeded the
libc rand()/random() after the application (i.e. Chrome) already
seeded it (with better entropy than what we used).
Another followup CL will replace the use of the per-isolate
random number generator for the address randomization and
thereby get rid of the Isolate::UncheckedCurrent() usage in
the platform code.

The reason of that is a number of cons strings in the app.
The app constructs a json string and as a result v8 heap has
a very long chain of cons strings.
Profiler counts all these strings as plain String objects and
assign the content of the strings as node names.
It required O(n^2) time and O(n^2) memory.
Solution: I introduced two new types, kConsString and kSliced string.
They do not use the content of the string for names. So the problem disappeared.
The heap profiler usability problem will be solved on Blink side.

Current v8 implementation may disable optimization for a particular function or block it with help of dont_optimize flag.
The patch propagates the reason of that to the SharedFunctionInfo where cpu profiler can get it.
SharedFunctionInfo is a heap object so I extracted 8 bits from OptsCount for handling bailout reason code.

Instead of globally tracking allocated space limits, which was
not implemented properly anyway (i.e. lack of synchronization
on the reading side), track it per MemoryAllocator (that is
per heap/isolate).
In particular, avoid to call IsBadWritePtr() on Windows, it is
obsolete and Microsoft strongly discourages its usage.

Condition variables are synchronization primitives that can be used
to block one or more threads while waiting for condition to become
true.
Right now we have only semaphores, mutexes and atomic operations for
synchronization, which results in quite complex solutions where an
implementation using condition variables and mutexes would be straight
forward.
There's also a performance benefit to condition variables and mutexes
vs semaphores, especially on Windows, where semaphores are kernel
objects, while mutexes are implemented as fast critical sections,
it CAN be beneficial performance-wise to use condition variables
instead of semaphores.

Drop the previous Mutex and ScopedLock classes from platform files.
Add new Mutex, RecursiveMutex and LockGuard classes, which are
designed after their C++11 counterparts, so that at some point
we can simply drop our custom code and switch to the C++11
classes. We distinguish regular and recursive mutexes, as the
latter don't work well with condition variables, which will be
introduced by a followup CL.

These classes are meant to replace OS::Ticks() and OS::TimeCurrentMillis(),
which are broken in several ways. The ElapsedTimer class implements a
stopwatch using TimeTicks::HighResNow() for high resolution, monotonic
timing.
Also fix the CpuProfile::GetStartTime() and CpuProfile::GetEndTime()
methods to actually return the time relative to the unix epoch as stated
in the documentation (previously that was relative to some arbitrary
point in time, i.e. boot time).
The previous Windows issues have been resolved, and we now use GetTickCount64()
on Windows Vista and later, falling back to timeGetTime() with rollover
protection for earlier Windows versions.

The test has been marked as intermittently failing since 2011 and since that "code-creation" event signature has changed a bit. I updated the parser in the test but that revealed another issue: "code-creation" events with type 'Script' didn't match functions with type 'LazyCompile' retrieved during the heap traversal because the later had name " :1:1" which didn't match the script's name.

Move all of the CPU detection logic to the CPU class, and make
all other code use the CPU class for feature detection.
This also fixes the ARM CPU feature detection logic, which was
based on fragile string search in /proc/cpuinfo. Now we use
ELF hwcaps if available, falling back to sane(!!) parsing of
/proc/cpuinfo for CPU features.
The ia32 and x64 code was also cleaned up to make it usable
outside the assembler.

New flag is added that allows to specify CPU profiler sampling rate in microseconds as command line argument. It was tested to work fine with 100us interval(currently it is 1ms). Default values are kept the same as in the current implementation. The new implementation is enabled only on POSIX platforms which use signals to collect samples. Other platforms that pause thread being sampled are to follow.
SIGPROF signals are now sent on the profiler event processor thread to make sure that the processing thread does fall far behind the sampling.
The patch is based on the previous one that was rolled out in r13851. The main difference is that the circular queue is not modified for now.
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 probably replace 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 be 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.

All the tests that started crashing create ProfilerEventsProcessor on the stack. After r16284 SamplingCircularQueue buffer is allocated as a field of the queue instead of separate heap object. This increased self size of ProfilerEventsProcessor by about 1Mb. Windows malloc fails to allocate such an object on the stack and crashes.
