the speed of deserializing code. The current startup
time improvement for V8 is around 6%, but code deserialization
is speeded up disproportionately, and we will soon have more
code in the snapshot.
* Removed support for deserializing into large object space.
The regular pages are 1Mbyte now and that is plenty. This
is a big simplification.
* Instead of reserving space for the snapshot we actually
allocate it now. This removes some special casing from
the memory management and simplifies deserialization since
we are just bumping a pointer rather than calling the
normal allocation routines during deserialization.
* Record in the snapshot how much we need to boot up and
allocate it instead of just assuming that allocations in
a new VM will always be linear.
* In the snapshot we always address an object as a negative
offset from the current allocation point. We used to
sometimes address from the start of the deserialized data,
but this is less useful now that we have good support for
roots and repetitions in the deserialization data.
* Code objects were previously deserialized (like other
objects) by alternating raw data (deserialized with memcpy)
and pointers (to external references, other objects, etc.).
Now we deserialize code objects with a single memcpy,
followed by a series of skips and pointers that partially
overwrite the code we memcopied out of the snapshot.
The skips are sometimes merged into the following
instruction in the deserialization data to reduce dispatch
time.
* Integers in the snapshot were stored in a variable length
format that gives a compact representation for small positive
integers. This is still the case, but the new encoding can
be decoded without branches or conditional instructions,
which is faster on a modern CPU.

This CL adds multiple things:
Transition arrays do not directly point at their descriptor array anymore, but rather do so via an indirect pointer (a JSGlobalPropertyCell).
An ownership bit is added to maps indicating whether it owns its own descriptor array or not.
Maps owning a descriptor array can pass on ownership if a transition from that map is generated; but only if the descriptor array stays exactly the same; or if a descriptor is added.
Maps that don't have ownership get ownership back if their direct child to which ownership was passed is cleared in ClearNonLiveTransitions.
To detect which descriptors in an array are valid, each map knows its own NumberOfOwnDescriptors. Since the descriptors are sorted in order of addition, if we search and find a descriptor with index bigger than this number, it is not valid for the given map.
We currently still build up an enumeration cache (although this may disappear). The enumeration cache is always built for the entire descriptor array, even if not all descriptors are owned by the map. Once a descriptor array has an enumeration cache for a given map; this invariant will always be true, even if the descriptor array was extended. The extended array will inherit the enumeration cache from the smaller descriptor array. If a map with more descriptors needs an enumeration cache, it's EnumLength will still be set to invalid, so it will have to recompute the enumeration cache. This new cache will also be valid for smaller maps since they have their own enumlength; and use this to loop over the cache. If the EnumLength is still invalid, but there is already a cache present that is big enough; we just initialize the EnumLength field for the map.
When we apply ClearNonLiveTransitions and descriptor ownership is passed back to a parent map, the descriptor array is trimmed in-place and resorted. At the same time, the enumeration cache is trimmed in-place.
Only transition arrays contain descriptor arrays. If we transition to a map and pass ownership of the descriptor array along, the child map will not store the descriptor array it owns. Rather its parent will keep the pointer. So for every leaf-map, we find the descriptor array by following the back pointer, reading out the transition array, and fetching the descriptor array from the JSGlobalPropertyCell. If a map has a transition array, we fetch it from there. If a map has undefined as its back-pointer and has no transition array; it is considered to have an empty descriptor array.
When we modify properties, we cannot share the descriptor array. To accommodate this, the child map will get its own transition array; even if there are not necessarily any transitions leaving from the child map. This is necessary since it's the only way to store its own descriptor array.

This fixes materialization of arguments objects for strict mode functions during
deoptimization. We materialize arguments from the stack area where optimized
code pushes the arguments when entering the inlined environment. For adapted
invocations we use the arguments adaptor frame for materialization.

- The global object has a reference to the current global scope chain.
Running a script adds to the chain if it contains global lexical declarations.
- Scripts are executed relative to a global, not a native context.
- Harmony let and const bindings are allocated to the innermost global context;
var and function still live on the global object.
(Lexical bindings are not reflected on the global object at all,
but that will probably change later using accessors, as for modules.)
- Compilation of scripts now needs a (global) context (previously only eval did).
- The global scope chain represents one logical scope, so collision tests take
the chain into account.

xmm0 is not saved across runtime call on x64 because MacroAssembler::EnterExitFrameEpilogue preserves only allocatable XMM registers unlike on ia32 where it preserves all registers.
Cleanup handling of shifts: SHR can deoptimize only when its a shift by 0, all other shift never deoptimize.
Fix type inference for i-to-t change instruction. On X64 this ensures that write-barrier is generated correctly.

Safe operations are those that either do not observe unsignedness or have special support for uint32 values:
- all binary bitwise operations: they perform ToInt32 on inputs;
- >> and << shifts: they perform ToInt32 on left hand side and ToUint32 on right hand side;
- >>> shift: it performs ToUint32 on both inputs;
- stores to integer external arrays (not pixel, float or double ones): these stores are "bitwise";
- HChange: special support added for conversions of uint32 values to double and tagged values;
- HSimulate: special support added for deoptimization with uint32 values in registers and stack slots;
- HPhi: phis that have only safe uses and only uint32 operands are uint32 themselves.

Highlights of this CL:
* Introduced a new opcode in the deoptimizer for a setter stub frame.
* Added a global setter stub for returning after deoptimizing a setter.
* We do not need special deopt support for getters, although the getter stub creates an internal frame. The normal machinery works just right for this case, although we generate a stack that can never occur during normal fullcode execution. If this hurts us one day, we can parameterize and reuse the setter deopt machinery.

Currently we inline functions with different contexts only on ia32, so we have
to move the helper functions for the various contexts to the top level. Further
more, "new Object()" seems to prevent inlining, too, so we us a simple object
literal.
Although things get consistently inlined now, something strange seems to happen
in test/effect contexts: The DEOPT output seems to contain too few frames, and
we don't get any DEOPT ouput after the first time for those contexts. This has
to be investigated...

This fixes the positive lookup performed by these LoadICs, to use the
holder instead of the receiver to perfrom the lookup on. It also extends
this improvement to KeyedLoadICs. And it fixes a bug introduced for the

Now a map points to a transition array which contains the descriptor array. The descriptor array is now immutable. The next step is to share the descriptor array with all back-pointed maps as long as there is a single line of extension. Maps that require a descriptor array but don't need transitions will still need a pseudo-empty transition array to contain the descriptor array.

Currently only simple setter calls are handled (i.e. no calls in count
operations or compound assignments), and deoptimization in the setter is not
handled at all. Because of the latter, we temporarily hide this feature behind
the --inline-accessors flag, just like inlining getters.
We now use an enum everywhere we depend on the handling of a return value,
passing around several boolean would be more confusing.
Made VisitReturnStatement and the final parts of TryInline more similar, so
matching them visually is a bit easier now.
Simplified the signature of AddLeaveInlined, the target of the HGoto can simply
be retrieved from the function state.

The underlying problem is that for compound/count operations we use the *load*
type feedback for storing, too. For normal properties this doesn't matter, but
for accessor properties we should better use the *store* type feedback, which
would be available, too. This consistent feedback usage could be guaranteed if
we removed the heavy copy-n-paste in the crankshaft code generation for
compound/count operations and assignments/property loads.
To be on the safe side, we postpone this refactoring and do a quick and easily
mergeable fix.
