Before: every context cached the nearest enclosing function context. This
assumed that for nested contexts (i.e., with and catch contexts) the
enclosing function had a materialized link in the context chain.
Now: when necessary, we loop up the context chain to find such a context.
This enables catch contexts without forcing the enclosing function to
allocate its own context.

Before, they had no extra slots and an extension object with one named
property. Now, they use the extension slot for the property name and have
an extra slot for the thrown object. This increases the size of the context
itself, but removes overall allocation and eliminates a level of indirection.

Introduce separate maps for function and with contexts. Use the function
context map for testing whether a context is a function context (global
contexts are no longer function contexts).
Split the paths for allocating with and catch contexts.
Rename some functions. Generally refactor code to make it simpler.

We used to have a linked list of nodes that were internally
block-allocated.
I kept the node blocks and put them on two lists: 1) the list of all
allocated blocks, 2) the list of blocks with used nodes. (1) is used
to reclaim blocks and (2) is used for traversal during GC. To make
traversal on scavenges faster the nodes holding new space objects are
grouped in an auxiliary array.
This changes the minimal memory usage from 5 words per global handle
to 4. Additional word is used for new space handles.

The current json parser and scanner inherits fromt he normal scanners and parsers,
which are more complicated than we need for parsing json.
The supplied scanner works directly on the string supplied and has a
fast case mode for scanning only ascii characters (it will simply
create a substring or a symbol directly from the existing string). To
allow for creating symbols from a substring I have added a
SubStringAsciiSymbolKey that creates the hash based from our string
without extracting the sub-string. In case we need to add the symbol
it simply creates the symbol directly from the characters inside the
given string.

1) Add new type JSProxy for representing proxy objects.
Currently devoid of functionality, i.e., all properties are undefined.
2) Some rudimentary global $Proxy functions to create proxies.
Next step: Hook up getProperty and getOwnProperty handlers. Will probably
require introducing a new LookupResult type, which is a mixture of
INTERCEPTOR (handles any property) and CALLBACK (calls back to JS).
Can we unify this somehow?
TODO: Should probably rename existing Proxy type to something like
"Foreign", to avoid confusion.

The ScannerConstants class was originally static fields on the scanner class.
During creation of the stand-alone preparser and later isolates, it has been
moved into a separate class with a per-isolate instance.
It is used to hold caching unicode Predicate values.
This change renames the class to UnicodeCache, and passes a reference
to the instance down to methods that doesn't have an easy access to
an isolate (to avoid, e.g., having to do an Isolate::Current() for every
number parsed).

This commit adds current working versions of assembler, macro-assembler,
disassembler, and simulator.
All other mips arch files are replaced with stubbed-out versions that
will build.
Arch independent files are updated as needed to support building and

The only test is cctest/test-assembler-mips, and this passes on the
simulator and on mips hardware.

Worth mentioning:
- Specialized versions of pixel array and store/loads inside the generic stubs have been removed, since to have parity for all external arrays, 8 different versions would have to be inlined/checked.
- There's a new constant in v8.h for external arrays with pixel array elements.

Non-moveable code-stube are allocated in large object space. They are only required on ARM where the different C-entry stubs are required to never move.
This gets rid of pre-computing these stubs and hope that they never move. Also for crankshaft the C-entry stub which saved doubles is not generated in the snapshot so it ends up being generated at runtime and potentially move.

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.

The embedder should stop sending idle notifications once V8 returns
true from the IdleNotification call. This change is being defensive so
it will not hurt as badly if embedders continue to send idle

Currently weak handles retain an object for another GC round (oftem times,
major GC round.) Instrumenting Chromium shows that navigation leaves
many global objects which are only collected in next go. Let's
attempt to collect more garbage when approacing OOM condition.
This is a better version of rolled out r5455: now it's correctly
rebuilds object groups between additional GCs.

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.

The object's space in Page starts after Page header and is aligned to kMapAlignment which is 32 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit.
In case of 64-bit target, the current page header size is exactly 32 bytes so we get the code magically aligned at 32 bytes but it is better to have a separate CODE_POINTER_ALIGN macro to make sure the object space in Page is aligned properly for both maps and code.
There could be a small waste of bytes sometimes (since both Page header and Code header sizes are aligned separately) but it seems the optimal one would involve cross-dependencies between .h files and not clear if it's worth it.
This is a back-port from Isolates branch.

The cause for missing functions is that some of them are created
from compiled code (see FastNewClosureStub), and thus not get
registered in profiler's code map.
My solution is to hook on GC visitor to provide JS functions
addresses to profiler, only if it is enabled.

The number of inobject properties used to be derived from the number
of this property assignments in the constructor (and increased by 2 to
allow for properties added later). This very often leads to wasted inobject
slots.
This patch reclaims some of the unused inobject space by the following method:
- for each constructor function the first several objects are allocated using the initial
("generous) instance size estimation (this is called 'tracking phase').
- during the tracking phase map transitions are tracked and actual property counts are collected.
- at the end of the tracking phase instance sizes in the maps are decreased if necessary
(starting with the function's initial map and traversing the transition tree).
- all further allocation use more realistic instance size estimation.
Shrinking generously allocated objects without costly heap traversal is made possible
by initializing their inobject properties with one_pointer_filler_map (instead of undefined).
The initial slack for the generous allocation is increased from 2 to 6 which really helps some tests.
