Remove a lot of platform duplication, and simplify the virtual
memory implementation. Also improve readability by avoiding bool
parameters for executability (use a dedicated Executability type
instead).
Get rid of the Isolate::UncheckedCurrent() call in the platform
code, as part of the Isolate TLS cleanup.
Use a dedicated random number generator for the address
randomization, instead of messing with the per-isolate random
number generators.

The RandomNumberGenerator is a pseudorandom number generator
with 48-bit state. It is properly seeded using either
(1) the --random-seed if specified, or
(2) the entropy_source function if configured, or
(3) /dev/urandom if available, or
(4) falls back to Time and TimeTicks based seeding.
Each Isolate now contains a RandomNumberGenerator, which replaces
the previous private_random_seed.
Every native context still has its own random_seed. But this random
seed is now properly initialized during bootstrapping,
instead of on-demand initialization. This will allow us to cleanup
and speedup the HRandom implementation quite a lot (this is delayed
for a followup CL)!
Also stop messing with the system rand()/random(), which should
not be done from a library anyway! We probably re-seeded the
libc rand()/random() after the application (i.e. Chrome) already
seeded it (with better entropy than what we used).
Another followup CL will replace the use of the per-isolate
random number generator for the address randomization and
thereby get rid of the Isolate::UncheckedCurrent() usage in
the platform code.

Condition variables are synchronization primitives that can be used
to block one or more threads while waiting for condition to become
true.
Right now we have only semaphores, mutexes and atomic operations for
synchronization, which results in quite complex solutions where an
implementation using condition variables and mutexes would be straight
forward.
There's also a performance benefit to condition variables and mutexes
vs semaphores, especially on Windows, where semaphores are kernel
objects, while mutexes are implemented as fast critical sections,
it CAN be beneficial performance-wise to use condition variables
instead of semaphores.

Drop the previous Mutex and ScopedLock classes from platform files.
Add new Mutex, RecursiveMutex and LockGuard classes, which are
designed after their C++11 counterparts, so that at some point
we can simply drop our custom code and switch to the C++11
classes. We distinguish regular and recursive mutexes, as the
latter don't work well with condition variables, which will be
introduced by a followup CL.

For that, we maintain an abstract store typing of all variables with LOCAL location (i.e., those that do not escape the function's own scope). We treat assignments as sequential effects that modify this store.
When control flow branches, we have to compute the disjunction of possible effects. To that end, we represent the store as a stack of effect sets, such that we can cheaply push and pop "local" effects when control flow has to branch.
In cases of non-local control transfer from an unknown source, we currently erase all knowledge about the store.
The 'switch' statement is still to come.

Notes:
- For now, just adds the missing type info fields to the AST nodes directly.
I'd like to factor that out more nicely in a follow-up CL.
- All type feedback now is uniformly collected through AST nodes'
RecordTypeFeedback functions. At some point, this logic should be moved
out of ast.cc.
- The typing pass currently simulates the exact same conditions under
which feedback was collected in Hydrogen before. That also should be
made more generic in the future.
- Type information itself is unchanged. Making it more regular is
yet more future work.
Some additional cleanups:
- Lifted out nested class ObjectLiteral::Property, to enable forward declaration.
- Moved around some auxiliary enums.

This patch defines new makefile command line paramaters to better control the
ARM specific options. The new paramters are
* armfpu = vfp, vfpv3-d16, vfpv3, neon.
* armfloatabi = softfp, hard
* armneon = on
* armthumb = on, off
* armtest = on
One existing paratemer has been modified:
* armv7 = true, false
A number of parameters have been deprecated (but are still working):
* hardfp = on, off
* vfp2 = off
* vfp3 = off
the armtest paratmer when set to "on" will lock the options used during compile
time at runtime. This allows for example to easily test the ARMv6 build on an
ARMv7 platform without having to worry about features detected at runtime. When
not specified the compiler default will be used meaning it is not necessary
anymore to specify hardfp=on when natively building on an hardfp platform.
The shell help now prints the target options and features detected.

This is a first step to having profiler sampler implementation in one file with platform capabilities guarded with #ifdef. Otherwise we have very similar implementations scattered over platform-*.cc files which makes it hard to see differences and make changes.
The next steps will be to merge win32, Mac OS X and Cygwin implementations into sampler.cc They suspend profiled thread instead of sending a signal but apart from that the logic is pretty much the same. Then I'm going to move sampler-related code from log.* into sampler.*

- Add Symbol constructor; allow symbols as (unreplaced) return value from constructors.
- Introduce %CreateSymbol and %_IsSymbol natives and respective instructions.
- Extend 'typeof' code generation to handle symbols.
- Extend CompareIC with a UNIQUE_NAMES state that (uniformly) handles internalized strings and symbols.
- Property lookup delegates to SymbolDelegate object for symbols, which only carries the toString method.
- Extend Object.prototype.toString to recognise symbols.
Per the current draft spec, symbols are actually pseudo objects that are frozen with a null prototype and only one property (toString). For simplicity, we do not treat them as proper objects for now, although typeof will return "object". Only property access works as if they were (frozen) objects (via the internal delegate object).

In this design maps contain descriptor arrays, which in turn can contain transition arrays. If transitions are needed when no descriptor array is present, a descriptor array without real descriptors is inserted just so it can point at the transition array.
The transition array does not contain details about the field it transitions to. In order to weed out transitions to FIELDs from CONSTANT_FUNCTION (what used to be MAP_TRANSITION vs CONSTANT_TRANSITION), the transition needs to be followed and the details need to be looked up in the target map. CALLBACKS transitions are still easy to recognize since the transition targets are stored as an AccessorPair containing the maps, rather than the maps directly.
Currently AccessorPairs containing a transition and an accessor are shared between the descriptor array and the transition array. This simplifies lookup since we only have to look in one of both arrays. This will change in subsequent revisions, when descriptor arrays will become shared between multiple maps, since transitions cannot be shared.

- Adds a new trait parameter to LazyInstance to let it initialize the instance
without paying the cost of atomic operations (which are expensive on Mac).
This only works for users who don't care about thread-safety and this is now
the default initialization trait used by LazyInstance in v8.

Isolate's accessors be as cheap as they were before (but adds one static initializer).

Always use CpuFeaturesImpliedByCompiler() when selecting CPU features. This checks both for CAN_USE_ARMV7_INSTRUCTIONS and CAN_USE_VFP_INSTRUCTIONS and for GCC preprocessor symbols. This will support using the CAN_USE_XXX for a simulator build used for generating a snapshot followed by a crosscompile using -march= and -mfpu= for selecting the (minimal) target device CPU features. The snapshot will use instructions based on the CAN_USE_XXX whereas the target will at least use features based on both CAN_USE_XXX and -march= and -mfpu=, but will try runtime CPU feature detection a well looking for somethis better.
Remove the compiler based CPU feature detection from the OS::CpuFeaturesImpliedByPlatform() as it did not belong there. Also was already in the CpuFeaturesImpliedByCompiler().

This saves allocation of zone memory and speeds up LIR construction,
but makes iterating over all uses in the register allocator slightly
more expensive because environment uses are stored in a linked list of
environments. We can fix this by using a flat representation of LOperands.

Instead of spilling and then immediately restoring eax to resolve
memory to memory moves, the gap move resolver now tracks registers
that are known to be free and uses one if available. If not it spills
but restores lazily when the spilled value is needed or at the end of
the algorithm.
Instead of using esi for resolving cycles and assuming it is free to
overwrite because it can be rematerialized, the gap move resolver now
resolves cycles using swaps, possibly using a free register as above.
The algorithm is also changed to be simpler: a recursive depth-first
traversal of the move dependence graph. It uses a list of moves to be
performed (because it mutates the moves themselves), but does not use
any auxiliary structure other than the control stack. It does not
build up a separate list of scheduled moves to be interpreted by the
code generate, but emits code on the fly.

objectprint=on (defaults to off) option (which defines OBJECT_PRINT).
2. Added the ability to print objects to a specified file instead of
just stdout.
3. Added a use_verbose_printer flag (true by default) to allow some
object printouts to be less verbose when the flag is false.
4. Fixed a bug in VSNPrintF() where it can potentially write into an
empty char vector.

This is based on the structore used in chromium with a script wrapping the call to gyp itself and the default processing of common.gypi.
It is possible to build all our targets on Intel Linux for all architectures (ia32, x64 and ARM simulator). When this is committed I wil take a look at Windows.

Make checks.h not depend on flags.h or global.h (or anything else except
include/v8stdint.h). Only checks.cc has the dependencies (so another
implementation of checks.cc can be provided by the preparser).
Now files depending on checks.h (using ASSERT macros) can include it
directly without depending on all of v8.

Fix issues so v8 could be built as a DLL.
-. get rid of all the compiler warning by moving dllexport/dllimport
to the individual members for classes which have inline members.
-. update v8 gyp to build v8.dll for chromium multi-dll version (win
and component==shared_library)

Chromium build.
v8.gyp no longer sets any V8_TARGET_ARCH_* macro on the Mac. Instead, the
proper V8_TARGET_ARCH_* macro will be set by src/globals.h in the same way as
the V8_HOST_ARCH_* macro when it detects that no target macro is currently
defined. The Mac build will attempt to compile all ia32 and x86_64 .cc files.
#ifdef guards in each of these target-specific source files prevent their
compilation when the associated target is not selected. For completeness,
these #ifdef guards are also provided for the arm and mips .cc files.

of having a list of virtual frame pointers in the jump
target we have one virtual frame, which is the frame that
all have to merge to to branch to that frame. The virtual
frame in the JumpTarget is inside the JumpTarget, rather than
being an allocated object that is pointed to. Unfortunately
this means that the JumpTarget class has to be able to see
the size of a VirtualFrame object to compile, which in turn
lead to a major reorganization of related .h files. The
actual change of functionality in this change is intended
to be minimal (we now assert that the virtual frames match
when using JumpTarget instead of just assuming that they do).

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

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.

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.

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

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>

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.
