c9b9c431d4 Remove now obsolete comment.
Now builtins only process fast case when there is no need to lift elements from
the prototypes.

638cb4f91d Always load the JavaScript builtins code entry from the JavaScript
function instead of baking in the address of the first one that we see
in code.

This removes the need for fixups processing and makes the stubs safe
when there is no natives cache and therefore multiple versions of the

048fe9b980 RFC: Try to be much more careful with where we skip the write barrier by:
1. Avoid using SKIP_WRITE_BARRIER when we don't have to (smis).
  2. Check and document the remaining uses of SKIP_WRITE_BARRIER.
  3. Only allow GetWriteBarrierMode when in an AssertNoAllocation scope.

The only functional change should be in DeepCopyBoilerplate where we
no longer use the write barrier mode (because of allocations). I'm
running benchmarks to see if this has a measurable impact on performance.

903301248e Improve keyed loads on strings by using a new stub.
Instead of going through a runtime function for keyed loads
on strings we invoke a separate specialized stub that
assumes string as receiver type and the key to be a number.

The stub calls a JS builtin function to return the corresponding one-character string.

46e6297e3e Added infrastructure for optimizing new CanvasArray types in WebGL
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.

677c043fee Handle array construction on native code.
The construction of arrays when using the the Array function either as a constructor or a normal function is now handled fully in generated code in most cases. Only when Array is called with one argument which is either negative or abowe JSObject::kInitialMaxFastElementArray (which is currently 1000) or if the allocated object cannot fit in the room left in new space is the runtime system entered.

Two new native code built-in functions are added one for normal invocation and one for the construct call. The existing C++ builtin is renamed, but kept. When the normal invocation cannot be handled in generated code the C++ builtin is called. When the construct invocation cannot be handled in native code the generic construct stub is called (which will end up in the C++ builtin through a construct trampoline).

One thing that might be changed is preserving esi (constructor function) during the handling of a construct call. We know precisily what function we where calling anyway and can just reload it. This could remove the parameter construct_call to ArrayNativeCode and remove the handling of this from that function.

The X64 and ARM implementations are not part of this changelist.

98425a31f1 Speed up CalledAsConstructor.
Changed CalledAsConstructor to process the raw runtime stack directly,
rather than using a StackFrameIterator.  Using an interator turns out
to be quite expensive and the vast majority of the work done is not
relevant to deciding if we've been called as a constructor.

This speeds up getElementById by ~13%.

d7cccf6b8d Add log compression ability.
This is a trivial per-row compression:
- short aliases are introduced for events and code creation tags;
- in tick events, offsets are used instead of absolute addresses;
- removed 'code-allocation' event, as it seems not used.

The first two options are depend on the new flag: 'compress-log', which is off by default.

On benchmarks run w/o snapshot, this gives 45% log size reduction.

01f7c87f22 This patch much improves our tracking of whether function is
called from within a loop or not.  In the past we lost the
information if a call site went megamorphic before a lazily
compiled callee was called for the first time.  Now we track
that correctly (this is an issue that affects richards).
We still don't manage to track the in-loop state through a
constructor call, since constructor calls use LoadICs instead
of CallICs.  This issue affects delta-blue.  So in this patch
we assume that lazy compilations that don't happen through a
CallIC happen from inside a loop.  I have an idea to fix this
but this patch is big enough already.
With our improved tracking of in-loop state I have switched
off the inlining of in-object loads for code that is not in
a loop.  This benefits compile speed.  One issue is that
eagerly compiled code now doesn't get the in-object loads
inlined.  We need to eagerly compile less code to fix this.

On Android platform, it can also enabled by passing -DENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT flag to the compiler.

This should not affect any existing build (I hope, cross my fingers) except the build in real Android environment (in other word, it only affects me now).

There are lot of room for code refactoring in stead of using #ifdef all over the place. I will leave this to v8 folks.

0fc72f2b4e Serendipitously arrange the tags so that String.length() becomes a branch-free
operation.  I have another version of this change that does not remove the
special inline caches for difference sized strings.  The other version is ever
so slightly faster, but the nice thing about this version is that it removes
253 lines of code.

42ef2c3d77 Split window support from V8.
Here is a description of the background and design of split window in Chrome and V8:
https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/Doc?id=chhjkpg_47fwddxbfr

This change list splits the window object into two parts: 1) an inner window object used as the global object of contexts; 2) an outer window object exposed to JavaScript and accessible by the name 'window'. Firefox did it awhile ago, here are some discussions: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:SplitWindow. One additional benefit of splitting window in Chrome is that accessing global variables don't need security checks anymore, it can improve applications that use many global variables.

V8 support of split window:
  There are a small number of changes on V8 api to support split window:
Security context is removed from V8, so does related API functions;
A global object can be detached from its context and reused by a new context;
Access checks on an object template can be turned on/off by default;
An object can turn on its access checks later;

  V8 has a new object type, ApiGlobalObject, which is the outer window object type. The existing JSGlobalObject becomes the inner window object type. Security checks are moved from JSGlobalObject to ApiGlobalObject. ApiGlobalObject is the one exposed to JavaScript, it is accessible through Context::Global(). ApiGlobalObject's prototype is set to JSGlobalObject so that property lookups are forwarded to JSGlobalObject. ApiGlobalObject forwards all other property access requests to JSGlobalObject, such as SetProperty, DeleteProperty, etc.

  Security token is moved to a global context, and ApiGlobalObject has a reference to its global context. JSGlobalObject has a reference to its global context as well. When accessing properties on a global object in JavaScript, the domain security check is performed by comparing the security token of the lexical context (Top::global_context()) to the token of global object's context. The check is only needed when the receiver is a window object, such as 'window.document'. Accessing global variables, such as 'var foo = 3; foo' does not need checks because the receiver is the inner window object.

  When an outer window is detached from its global context (when a frame navigates away from a page), it is completely detached from the inner window. A new context is created for the new page, and the outer global object is reused. At this point, the access check on the DOMWindow wrapper of the old context is turned on. The code in old context is still able to access DOMWindow properties, but it has to go through domain security checks.


It is debatable on how to implement the outer window object. Currently each property access function has to check if the receiver is ApiGlobalObject type. This approach might be error-prone that one may forget to check the receiver when adding new functions. It is unlikely a performance issue because accessing global variables are more common than 'window.foo' style coding.

I am still working on the ARM port, and I'd like to hear comments and suggestions on the best way to support it in V8.

89ac41aff9 If an allocation is so huge that we cannot code the size needed in the failure
object then we just return an out of memory failure object (instead of a retry
after GC failure object).  Not all places that checked for retry-after-GC were
able to handle an immediate out of memory failure.

77196c5771 This is a new static flag system, designed to have all flags in a central place, and compiled into the binary without requiring static constructors for registration. All flags are moved out of the specific modules and into flags.defs, with different sections for debug, release, etc. The flag variables are always defined. For example, a debug flag in release mode still exists, but is read only and set to the default value.

c5ee961882 Adapt to new calling convention on ARM:
- Simplified frame entry and frame exit code.
- Added ArgumentsAdaptorTrampoline and check for matching argument counts in the InvokePrologue.
- Removed definition and uses of USE_OLD_CALLING_CONVENTIONS.
- Changed MacroAssembler::InvokeBuiltin to match ia32 version.
- Start introducing convenience instructions in the ARM assembler as needed. These instructions take all Register parameters to avoid extra typing of "Operand(reg)".


To keep the architectures in sync these changes have been made to the ia32 files:
- Changed MacroAssembler::EnterFrame(StackFrame::Type type) to MacroAssembler::EnterInternalFrame().


These parts are still missing:
- unimplemented: Builtins::Generate_FunctionApply - large limit
- unimplemented: Builtins::Generate_ArgumentsAdaptorTrampoline - non-function call
- The files have not been lint'd yet.
