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.

This is to make possible enabling usage of the new profiling subsystem
in Chromium without much hassle. The idea is pretty simple: unless the
new profiling API is used, all works as usual, as soon as Chromium
starts to use the new API, it will work too.

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
the type information accordingly.

Circular queues serve as a transport for communicating between
VM, stack sampler and analyzer threads. Logging requirements
for VM and stack sampler are completely different, that's why
I introduced two different versions of CQs.

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.

Introducing a virtual-frame-inl.h file containing some platform-independent
virtual frame function which are small enough to be inlined.
Removed unnecessary #include of virtual-frame.h from register-allocator-inl.h

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.

After this change we don't need libraries-empty.cc any more. In
this change libraries-empty.cc is just a the same as libraries.cc
and the scons build builds it but does not use it. We can move

the build systems that we have.

fast-mode code generator.
AST expression nodes are annotated with a location when doing the
initial syntactic check of the AST. In the current implementation,
expression locations are 'temporary' (ie, allocated to the stack) or
'nowhere' (ie, the expression's value is not needed though it must be
evaluated for side effects).
For the assignment '.result = true' on IA32, we had before (with the
true value already on top of the stack):
32 mov eax,[esp]
35 mov [ebp+0xf4],eax
38 pop eax
Now:
32 pop [ebp+0xf4]
======== On x64, before:
37 movq rax,[rsp]
41 movq [rbp-0x18],rax
45 pop rax
Now:
37 pop [rbp-0x18]
======== On ARM, before (with the true value in register ip):
36 str ip, [sp, #-4]!
40 ldr ip, [sp, #+0]
44 str ip, [fp, #-12]
48 add sp, sp, #4

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]

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);

-fstrict-aliasing is enabled by mainline gcc at -O2 and higher, but in Apple
gcc, it must be enabled explicitly. This results in a 1.5% improvement in V8
benchmark scores.
This also removes the -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti settings from v8.gyp for
the Mac, and removes -fno-rtti from v8.gyp for Linux, because these settings
have become part of Chromium's common.gypi, included here, as of r23304 at the
latest. The settings in v8.gyp have become redundant.
