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.

With crankshaft, a code object can change its optimizability: it can start as
optimizable code object, but later we can find out it was a bad idea to
optimize it. Alas, currently we don't have a proper event to communicate
this back to logger. Hence we temporary allow a code object to be viewed
as optimizable judging from logs while being unoptimizable judging from
heap traversal.

Instead of relying on itimer signals from kernel, send them
ourselves from a separate thread. This disables an ability
to profile multiple VM threads on Linux, but it anyway doesn't
work on other platforms, so we need a common solution for
it (issue 913 created to track this).

- when logging 'open-tag' / 'close-tag' events, don't depend on
FLAG_log (as it may be not enabled, e.g. in Chromium);
- PauseProfiler / ResumeProfiler were supposing that they
use 'is_logging_' var exclusively, thus preventing any
other logging that may be turned on for diagnostic purposes.

This change allows to associate integer tags with blocks of profiler
log events, and repeat calls to 'ResumeProfiler' / 'PauseProfiler' in
order to establsh nested (not necessary properly nested) blocks. By
supporting this, we will be able to match WebInspector's CPU profiler
abilities in DevTools.
I also refactored some testing code.

The problem appeared due to a fact that stubs doesn't create a stack
frame, reusing the stack frame of the caller function. When building
stack traces, the current function is retrieved from PC, and its
callees are retrieved by traversing the stack backwards. Thus, for
stubs, the stub itself was discovered via PC, and then stub's caller's
caller was retrieved from stack.
To fix this problem, a pointer to JSFunction object is now captured
from the topmost stack frame, and is saved into stack trace log
record. Then a simple heuristics is applied whether a referred
function should be added to decoded stack, or not, to avoid reporting
the same function twice (from PC and from the pointer.)

This is needed to show calls to DOM in CPU profiles. I can think
of a better approach like adding specific functions into V8 API
for explicitly providing callback names and modifying bindings codegen
appropriately. My plan is as follows:
- submit this CL;
- implement anything I need to process log data and display DOM
calls in profiles;
- think again about adding specific functions and modifying bindings
codegen.

- don't engage the processing thread of CPU profiling until the first time profiling is resumed, this saves us a thread allocation for the majority of users;
- don't log shared libraries addresses: this is useless for JS-only profiling, and also consumes time on startup.

When starting JS profiling under Chromium, a map from function addresses to function names is created. During it, for sourceful scripts, an attempt to access script source is made. This can cause a crash, if a source is an external string, which already has been disposed. We had a similar problem in the past with DebugGetLoadedScripts.

I'm planning to use it in DevTools heap profiler. It is a common scenario in debugging memory leaks to enforce GC, then perform an operation, then enforce GC again to check for non-collected (that is, leaked) objects. Using the existing GC extension isn't possible because it doesn't exposed in the normal operation mode of Chromium.

I found two causes of flakinness:
- SIGPROF signal isn't delivered to a process;
- Profiler thread (the one that retrieves tick events from
the queue and writes to log) doesn't get a CPU;
Both are fixed.
The script from bug description with run count increased to 200 runs without any test failures.
OS X and Windows are unaffected because they don't use signals mechanism.

The goal of this change is to allow longer profiling sessions and preserve memory when profiler isn't started. The buffer starts with 64K and grows until it reaches the upper limit, which is currently set to 50MB --- according to my evaluations, this is enough for at least 20 minutes of GMail profiling. As we're planning to introduce compression for the profiler log, this time boundary will be significantly increased soon.
To make possible unit testing of the new component, I've factored out Logger's utility classes into a separate source file: log-utils.h/cc. Log and LogMessageBuilder are moved there from log.cc without any semantical changes.

This is intended to be used with Chromium. When in resource-saving mode, profiler doesn't consume any resources (sampler and logging is off) until resumed. Then again, when profiler is paused, sampling and logging are turned off.
Tested under Linux and Windows. Also have done preliminary testing with Chromium.

If was failing because with snapshot the range between minimum and maximum addresses of heap objects is very large (close to 0xf0000000). To fix this I rewrote handling of address maps in the test.
Submitting with TBR because of late time. I think, we'll need to revisit this change tomorrow.
