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.

Instead of constructing a temporary container for all LOperands of each
instruction, the register works directly on the LIR instructions that
provide an abstract interface for input/output/temp operands.
This saves allocation of zone memory and speeds up LIR construction,
but makes iterating over all uses in the register allocator slightly
more expensive because environment uses are stored in a linked list of
environments. We can fix this by using a flat representation of LOperands.

Instead of spilling and then immediately restoring eax to resolve
memory to memory moves, the gap move resolver now tracks registers
that are known to be free and uses one if available. If not it spills
but restores lazily when the spilled value is needed or at the end of
the algorithm.
Instead of using esi for resolving cycles and assuming it is free to
overwrite because it can be rematerialized, the gap move resolver now
resolves cycles using swaps, possibly using a free register as above.
The algorithm is also changed to be simpler: a recursive depth-first
traversal of the move dependence graph. It uses a list of moves to be
performed (because it mutates the moves themselves), but does not use
any auxiliary structure other than the control stack. It does not
build up a separate list of scheduled moves to be interpreted by the
code generate, but emits code on the fly.

This patch enables two new flags for the tools/test.py script;
--shard-count - giving the ability to split the tests to be run
into shard-count chunks.
--shard-run - giving the ability to specify which of the shards to actually run.
Example
tools/test.py -j15 --shard-count=2 --shard-run=1 mozilla
would split the mozilla tests into two chunks and run the tests in the first chunk
Running:
tools/test.py -j15 --shard-count=2 --shard-run=1 mozilla
tools/test.py -j15 --shard-count=2 --shard-run=2 mozilla
is equivalent (in terms of test coverage) of just running:
tools/test.py -j15 mozilla
In addition, tests are now sorted before they are returned from the
test specific ListTests methods (sputnik and mozilla tests where
already sorted before they where returned).
This change is needed to split a single test suite over two slaves on
the waterfall.

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.

proper V8_TARGET_ARCH_* macro will be set by src/globals.h in the same way as
the V8_HOST_ARCH_* macro when it detects that no target macro is currently
defined. The Mac build will attempt to compile all ia32 and x86_64 .cc files.

of having a list of virtual frame pointers in the jump
target we have one virtual frame, which is the frame that
all have to merge to to branch to that frame. The virtual
frame in the JumpTarget is inside the JumpTarget, rather than
being an allocated object that is pointed to. Unfortunately
this means that the JumpTarget class has to be able to see
the size of a VirtualFrame object to compile, which in turn
lead to a major reorganization of related .h files. The
actual change of functionality in this change is intended
to be minimal (we now assert that the virtual frames match
when using JumpTarget instead of just assuming that they do).

Each frame element gets a new attribute with number type information. A frame element can be:
- smi
- heap number
- number (i.e. either of the above)
- or something else.
The type information is propagated along with all virtual frame operations.
Results popped from the frame carry the number information with them.
Two optimizations in the code generator make use of the new
information:
- GenericBinaryOpSyub omits map checks if input operands are numbers.
- Boolean conversion for numbers: Emit inline code for converting a number (smi or heap number) to boolean. Do not emit call to ToBoolean stub in this case.

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.)

As this is only needed for internal profiling (not for DevTools),
the following approach had been chosen:
- during snapshot creation, positions of serialized objects inside
a snapshot are logged;
- then during V8 initialization, positions of deserealized objects
are logged;
- those positions are used for retrieving code objects names from
snapshot creation log, which needs to be supplied to tick processor
script.
Positions logging is controlled with the new flag: --log_snapshot_positions.
This flag is turned off by default, and this adds no startup penalty.
To plug this fix to Golem, the following actions are needed:
- logs created using 'mksnapshot' need to be stored along with VM images;
- tick processor script needs to be run with '--snapshot-log=...' cmdline
argument.

fast code generator is optimized for compilation time and code size.
Currently it is only implemented on IA32. It is potentially triggered
for any code in the global scope (including code eval'd in the global
scope). It performs a syntactic check and chooses to compile in fast
mode if the AST contains only supported constructs and matches some
other constraints.
Initially supported constructs are
* ExpressionStatement,
* ReturnStatement,
* VariableProxy (variable references) to parameters and
stack-allocated locals,
* Assignment with lhs a parameter or stack-allocated local, and
* Literal
This allows compilation of literals at the top level and not much
else.
All intermediate values are allocated to temporaries and the stack is
used for all temporaries. The extra memory traffic is a known issue.
The code generated for 'true' is:
0 push ebp

The profile is taken together with constructors profile. In theory, it
should represent a complete heap graph. However, this takes a lot of memory,
so it is reduced to a more compact, but still useful form. Namely:
- objects are aggregated by their constructors, except for Array and Object
instances, that are too hetereogeneous;
- for Arrays and Objects, initially every instance is concerned, but then
they are grouped together based on their retainer graph paths similarity (e.g.
if two objects has the same retainer, they are considered equal);
