The V8 GYP file now uses its own target architecture. It default to the standard target_arch, but can be set to a separate value. E.g. using
export GYP_DEFINES="target_arch=ia32 v8_target_arch=arm"
makes it possible to have the V8 ARM simulator be used in a IA32 build.
Added some checking of supported host/target architecture combinations.

Instead of testing the value of a constant frame element to determine
the type we compute its type information at construction time.
This speeds up querying the type information during code generation.
This change also adds support for Integer32 constants and sets

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 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);

The main problem was due to the following: after Erik had fixed the logger to report library addresses, tickprocessor started to add to the code map entries that covered almost entire memory. This happened because tickprocessor contains a heuristic to bias addresses of functions from dynamic libraries:
if (funcInfo.start < libStart && funcInfo.start < libEnd - libStart) {
funcInfo.start += libStart;
}
And, as tickprocessor tried to process all symbols from the library, including data entries, which can be outside reported library addresses range, the second condition failed, and funcInfo.start remained unbiased.

$ tools/oprofile/start
$ tools/oprofile/run test.js
$ tools/oprofile/report | less
$ tools/oprofile/annotate | less
$ tools/oprofile/shutdown
Here is a summary of the commands.
For all the commands taking an executable the executable is expected to be a binary using V8. If no executable is specified the release mode V8 shell is assumed.
By default the --session-dir=/tmp/oprofv8 is passed to all oprofile commands. This walue can be changed by setting environment variable OPROFILE_SESSION_DIR.
When using the defaulf executable (V8 shell in release mode) it is assumed to be located in ../.. relative from the oprofile utility scripts. This default location can be overridden using the V8_SHELL_DIR environment variable.

run [executable] [parameters]
-----------------------------

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.

MINOR_VERSION

The first four are numbers and the fifth is a boolean. Besides these five the define
SONAME

This version information is now read by the SCons build to support setting the soname for a Linux shared library. This requires passing the option soname=on to the SCons build.
When soname=on is specified the soname for the shared library can be set in two different ways. Either it will be the full versioned library name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so) or a specific soname defined in src/version.cc.

expensive functions together with their callers. I used it
personally in order to find and remove bottlenecks in the
