When code objects in the heap for FUNCTIONs and OPTIMIZED_FUNCTIONs are marked by the GC, their prologue is patched with a call to a stub that removes the patch. This allows the collector to quickly identify code objects that haven't been executed since the last full collection (they are the ones that sill contain the patch). The functionality is currently disabled, but can be activated by specifying the "--age-code".

This includes specialcasing the generation when we know that the maps
of the two objects are the same. In addition, a new specialized
compare ic known objects cache is created.
The reason for the cache is that we need to have access to the stub
code from the roots; if we do not, the GC will collect the stub. In
this specialized case we use the map pointer as key in the cache, and
we always do a lookup before generating code. Actually hitting
something in the cache will happen very rarely, but we could
potentially overwrite an existing stub, which again will lead to the
GC collecting this old stub (even if it is referenced from other code
objects)

This CL introduces a third mode next to the non-strict
(henceforth called 'classic mode') and 'strict mode'
which is called 'extended mode' as in the current
ES.next specification drafts. The extended mode is based on
the 'strict mode' and adds new functionality to it. This
means that most of the semantics of these two modes
coincide.
The 'extended mode' is entered instead of the 'strict mode'
during parsing when using the 'strict mode' directive
"use strict" and when the the harmony-scoping flag is
active. This should be changed once it is fully specified how the 'extended mode' is entered.
This change introduces a new 3 valued enum LanguageMode
(see globals.h) corresponding to the modes which is mostly
used by the frontend code. This includes the following
components:
* (Pre)Parser
* Compiler
* SharedFunctionInfo, Scope and ScopeInfo
* runtime functions: StoreContextSlot,
ResolvePossiblyDirectEval, InitializeVarGlobal,
DeclareGlobals
The old enum StrictModeFlag is still used in the backend
when the distinction between the 'strict mode' and the 'extended mode' does not matter. This includes:
* SetProperty runtime function, Delete builtin
* StoreIC and KeyedStoreIC
* StubCache

Original commit message:
Add a level of indirection to exception handler addresses.
To support deoptimization of exception handlers, the handler address in the
stack is converted to a pair of code object and an index into a separate
table of code offsets. The index part is invariant under deoptimization.
The index is packed into the handler state field so that handler size does
not change.

1) Don't make a call to C without having a valid frame on the stack.
2) Don't generate a call to a stub while generating a stub, unless we can be
sure that the stub we are calling has already been generated (the stub
generation code is not reentrant wrt. GC).

Changing our builtin JavaScript code slightly, we can make sure that we never
see internal objects as arguments for ToBoolean at runtime. Removing that case
from the stub generator and crankshaft makes things a lot easier.
Heap numbers can never be undetectable (only strings and spec objects can), so
we can leave out a useless test.
Try to re-use a non-null register value when returning 'true' in some cases.
Removed special handling of the 'handle all' case, it will very probably never
happen in real code and only makes things more complicated.
Improved naming of the ToBoolean stubs a bit, reflecting the order in which
cases are handled in the code itself.

To do this, the Branch instruction needs to carry around a temporary register,
but only when the crankshafted code will make a map access. When the
crankshafted code sees an object of a type it hasn't encountered before, it will
always trigger a deopt. Another option in theses cases would be calling a
ToBooleanStub which can handle all types, but then one has to be careful to
*not* trigger a GC (which is currently a bit tricky to achieve).
Const-corrected ToBoolean::Types. Moved the NeedsMap logic into ToBoolean::Types
itself, where it belongs.
This patch improves a lot of benchmarks, crypto-orig even by 16.7%, but slows
down others. The slowdown has to be investigated, but I'd like to get this patch
out first to fix the flakiness problems we currently have due to the previous
crankshafted ToBoolean.

Loading the map within the stub already implies a check for an undetectable
object, so there is no need to record this separately. Furthermore, this brings
the size of the type info to record down to 8 bits, removing the need to find a
place for the ninth bit in the Code object. ;-)

The IC records the set of types it has seen, e.g. {String} or {Boolean,
Undefined}, etc. Note that in theory this could lead to a large number of
different ToBoolean ICs (512, to be exact, because we distinguish 9 types),
but in practice only a small handful of them are actually generated.
Currently the type recording part is only implemented on ia32, other platforms
continue to work like they did before, though.
Removed some dead code on the way.

Using a C++-style method PrintName (a.k.a. << ;-), things get a lot easier when
two unrelated concerns are separated. Stubs don't need a name cache anymore,
simpler code while generating the stub name, memory allocation is centralized,
etc.

The declaration of the ToBoolean class moved to the platform-independent part
and its implementations are now structurally very similar. This is just an
intermediate cleanup step to add type recording at the call site.
Note that the MIPS implementation has not really been touched, so it should
continue to work, too.

Mainly, there were errors concerning blank lines before and after class access
control sections [whitespace/blank_line].
BEFORE an access control section (e.g. public:, private:) there should be a
blank line (except for the section right after the class declaration).
AFTER an access control section there should be no blank line.

Only IA32 version for now. I'll start porting.
Strict mode functions are to get 'undefined' as the receiver when
called with an implicit receiver. Modes are bad! It forces us to have
checks on all function calls.
This change attempts to limit the cost by passing information about
whether or not a call is with an implicit or explicit receiver in ecx
as part of the calling convention. The cost is setting ecx on all
calls and checking ecx on entry to strict mode functions.
Implicit/explicit receiver state has to be maintained by ICs. Various
stubs have to not clobber ecx or save and restore it.
CallFunction stub needs to check if the receiver is implicit when it
doesn't know from the context.

Better support for 'polymorphic' JS and external arrays
Allow keyed store/load stubs to switch between external array and fast JS arrays without forcing a state transition to the generic stub.
There CL consists of two pieces of functionality. First, code stubs for fast element arrays don't immediately transition to the MEGAMORPHIC state when there's a map mismatch. Second, two ICs are cached per map for fast elements, the MONOMORPHIC version, and a new MEGAMORPHIC version that handles two or more different maps and dispatches to shared stubs to perform the array operation.

code stub DirectCEntry for mips.
It also required updates to macro-assembler-mips.cc & h and frames-mips.h.
I also made a small change to frames-mips.cc.

All other mips arch files are replaced with stubbed-out versions that

Arch independent files are updated as needed to support building and

Non-moveable code-stube are allocated in large object space. They are only required on ARM where the different C-entry stubs are required to never move.
This gets rid of pre-computing these stubs and hope that they never move. Also for crankshaft the C-entry stub which saved doubles is not generated in the snapshot so it ends up being generated at runtime and potentially move.

Change the ARM exit frame to have the same layout as the IA32 exit frame. This basically re-arranges the order of fp and sp and changes the sp location of the entry frame to hold the sp used by the gc and not the sp for popping the arguments. This removes the option of tearing down the frame and returning using one ldm instruction.
The main motivation for this is to avoid pushing an alignment word before generating the entry frame. The GC handling of optimized frames process the registers pushed as part of a safepoint and asumes that these are at the top of the frame, so if an alignment word is pushed this processing will be one off.
The alignment handling in the C entry stub have also been simplified. Now the value of lr is stored to a stack slot already reserved avoiding pushing it and keeping track of "frame skew".
This does result in more instructions in the exit frame on ARM, but we can look into improving this later.

This is svn r6415 with a bugfix.
The bug was that we can have scopes with 0 heap slots (functions with
such scopes do not need a local context) and scopes with at least
Context::MIN_CONTEXT_SLOTS. The code generator only allocated a local
context if there were strictly more than Context::MIN_CONTEXT_SLOTS.
Before the change to with/arguments, it was impossible to actually get
a function scope with exactly Context::MIN_CONTEXT_SLOTS because every
such scope included a heap-allocated arguments (and arguments shadow)
slot.
