This change adds the option to peel off the first iteration of inner loops.
Loop peeling is off by default and can enabled by a flag. It also requires building a flow graph.
As part of this I added the possibility to clone AST nodes.

A variable usage analysis pass was run on toplevel and lazily-compiled
code but never used. Remove this pass and the data structures it
builds.
The representation of variable usage for Variables has been changed
from a struct containing a (weighted) count of reads and writes to a
simple flag. VariableProxies are always used, as before. The unused
"object uses" is removed.

The flow graph is built by walking the AST. Edges are labeled with
instructions (AST nodes). Normal nodes have a single predecessor edge and a
single (labeled) successor edge. Branch nodes are explicit, they have a
single predecessor edge and a pair of (unlabeled) successor edges. Merge
nodes are explicit, they have a pair of predecessor edges and a single
(unlabeled) successor edge.
There is a distinguished (normal) entry node and a distinguished (special)
exit node with arbitrarily many predecessor edges and no successor edges.
The graph is intended to support graph-based analysis and transformation.

Always invoke HeapObjectIterator::has_next() before invoking HeapObjectIterator::next().
This is necessary as ::has_next() has an important side-effect of going to the next
page when current page is exhausted.
And to find if pointers are encodable use more precise data---top of map space, not a number
of pages, as pages might stay in map space due to chunking.

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.

Calls to RegExp no longer have to be via a call to the runtime system. A new stub have been added which can handle this call in generated code. The stub checks all the parameters and creates RegExp entry frame in the same way as it is created by the runtime system. Bailout to the runtime system is done whenever an uncommon situation is encountered or when the static data used is not initialized. After running the native RegExp code the last match info is updated like in the runtime system.
Currently only ASCII strings are handled.
Added another argument to the RegExp entry frame. It indicated whether the call is direct from JavaScript code or through the runtime system. This information is used when RegExp execution is interrupted. If an interruption happens when RegExp code is called directly a retry is issued causing the interruption to be handled via the runtime system. The reason for this is that the direct call to RegExp code does not support garbage collection.

The alignment of new space has to match the alignment in the snapshot,
but the max committed amount of memory does not.
For now, we assume that the default semispace size is always used in a
snapshot.

Turned on with '--log-producers' flag, also needs '--noinline-new' (this is temporarily), '--log-code', '--log-gc'. Not all allocations are traced (I'm investigating.)
Stacks are stored using weak handles. Thus, when an object is collected, its allocation stack is deleted.

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
1 mov ebp,esp
3 push esi
4 push edi
5 push 0xf5cca135 ;; object: 0xf5cca135 <undefined>
10 cmp esp,[0x8277efc]
16 jnc 27 (0xf5cbbb1b)
22 call 0xf5cac960 ;; code: STUB, StackCheck, minor: 0
27 push 0xf5cca161 ;; object: 0xf5cca161 <true>
32 mov eax,[esp]
35 mov [ebp+0xf4],eax
38 pop eax
39 mov eax,[ebp+0xf4]
42 mov esp,ebp ;; js return

implementation is not yet complete (it prints only the node name for
some AST constructs) and does not serialize everything needed to
reconstitute the AST.
It is motivated by a desire to prototype source-to-source
transformations in JavaScript itself (or anything else that can grok
JSON), but it should have other uses too.
Feedback is welcome.

The calls to GenericBinaryStub can now pass the arguments in registers instead of on the stack. It is supported for ADD, SUB, MUL and DIV. The convention in GenericBinaryStub is not changed so the left operand is passed in edx and the right one in eax. When the stub contains smi code arguments are always passed on the stack as the smi code has to have left and right operands on eax and ebx, so moving from edx,eax to eax,ebx is not worth it and the smi code also trashes the registers so if arguments where passed in registers they would have to be saved on the stack anyway.
Added flags to disable the use of certain Intel CPU features to make it easier to test different code paths.

Error, ReferenceError, etc. are given a stack property that gives a
stack trace. Here's an example stack trace:
ReferenceError: FAIL is not defined
at Constraint.execute (deltablue.js:527)
at Constraint.recalculate (deltablue.js:426)
at Planner.addPropagate (deltablue.js:703)

at Constraint.EqualityConstraint (deltablue.js:517)
at chainTest (deltablue.js:809)
at deltaBlue (deltablue.js:881)
at deltablue.js:888
If Error.prepareStackTrace holds a function this function is used to
format the stack trace, for instance allowing code generators to
customize the way stack traces are reported to make them easier to
process.
Next step: performance measurements to see if it is feasible to turn
this on by default.

This is a trivial per-row compression:
- short aliases are introduced for events and code creation tags;
- in tick events, offsets are used instead of absolute addresses;
- removed 'code-allocation' event, as it seems not used.
The first two options are depend on the new flag: 'compress-log', which is off by default.
On benchmarks run w/o snapshot, this gives 45% log size reduction.

This makes it possible to remote debuggers to just add commands to the queue without having to request a break as well. As soon as any JavaScript executes the debugger commands will be processed and the response send to the remote debugger.
Currently hide this behind a flag (--debugger-auto-break) as the current command line debugger in Chrome is not designed for this new behaviour, whereas the new Chrome developer tools will use it.

The debugger agent listens on a TCP/IP port for a remote debugger connection. When such a connection is established the debuger JSON protocol is communicated between the agent the the remote debugger. The messages containing the JSON protocol has a RFC-822 like header with a Content-Length field and with the body containing the JSON in UTF-8 encoding.
The D8 shell has option --debugger-agent to start the debugger agent.
