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 piece of this change was to add support for break on return for ARM. On ARM the normal js function return consist of the following code sequence.
mov sp, fp
ldmia sp!, {fp, lr}
add sp, sp, #4
bx lr
to a call to the debug break return entry code using the following code sequence
mov lr, pc
ldr pc, [pc, #-4]
<debug break return entry code entry point address>
bktp 0
The values of Assembler::kPatchReturnSequenceLength and Assembler::kPatchReturnSequenceLength are somewhat misleading, but they fit the current use in the debugger. Also Assembler::kPatchReturnSequenceLength is used in the IC code as well (for something which is not related to return sequences at all). I will change that in a separate changelist.
For the debugger to work also added recording of the return sequence in the relocation info and handling of source position recording when a function ends with a return statement.
Used the constant kInstrSize instead of sizeof(Instr).
Passes all debugger tests on both simulator and hardware (only release mode tested on hardware).

I'm planning to use it in DevTools heap profiler. It is a common scenario in debugging memory leaks to enforce GC, then perform an operation, then enforce GC again to check for non-collected (that is, leaked) objects. Using the existing GC extension isn't possible because it doesn't exposed in the normal operation mode of Chromium.

- Profiler thread (the one that retrieves tick events from

Code addresses are now written as an offset from the previous address for ticks, code move and delete events. Employed backreference and RLE compression for code move and delete events. This gives additional 30% log size reduction for benchmarks run w/o snapshot.
Overall compression results (compared with the revision of V8 having no compression):
- V8: 70% size reduction for benchmarks run w/o snapshot (for reference, gzip gives 87%)
- Chromium: 65% size reduction for public html version of benchmarks (v4) (for reference, gzip gives 90%)
The one obvious opportunity for improving compression results in Chromium is to compress URLs of scripts.

Two techniques are involved:
- compress repeated line ends (common stack beginnings) by using back references;
- do RLE compression of repeated tick events.
This gives only 5% size reduction on benchmarks run, but this is because tick events are only comprise 10% of file size. Under Chromium winnings are bigger because long repeated samples of idleness are now compressed into a single line.
Tickprocessor will be updated in the next patch.

The problem was I incorrectly treated NULL result as failure to fetch
a property with a getter. However, if getter returns zero, it is
manifested as NULL pointer (see added test case).

My assumption that log initialization happens somewhere near the stack's bottom is true for V8's sample shell but isn't true for Chromium, causing many otherwise valid stack addresses to be thrown out. The solution proposed is to save stack pointer value for the outermost JS function in ThreadLocalTop similar to c_entry_fp.
Implemented only for IA-32. Currently I'm not dealing with profiling on ARM and x86-64 anyway.

The goal of this change is to allow longer profiling sessions and preserve memory when profiler isn't started. 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.
To make possible unit testing of the new component, I've factored out Logger's utility classes into a separate source file: log-utils.h/cc. Log and LogMessageBuilder are moved there from log.cc without any semantical changes.

The goal is to make possible having --prof flag always enabled in Chromium. Currently we can't do this because --prof causes compiler and gc to log code creations / moves / deletes which aren't needed until we start profiling. With LogCompiledFunctions it will be possible not to log anything until we start profiling. When started, the current map of compiled functions will be logged and compiler / gc logging will be enabled to update current state. When profling is stopped, logging will be turned off again.

When loaded scripts are requested this cache is filled with all the script objects in the heap. Hereafter its content is kept in sync with the active scripts in the heap through the notifications of new scripts compiled and by using weak handles to get notified when a script is collected.
Through the tracking of collected scripts the debugger event OnScriptCollected have been added to notify a debugger that a script previously returned through the scripts command is no longer in use.
Make the ComputeIntegerHash globally available.
Moved clearing of the mirror cache to when debugger is really left. Previously recursive invocations of the debugger cause the mirror cache to be cleared causing handles to become either stale or reference other objects.

NPN_Construct allows a NPObject to be called as a construct. For example, the
test case
var s = new app.Packages.java.lang.Integer(5);
app.Packages.java.lang.Integer is a NPObject, and it implements NPN_Construct.
This fix allows a JSObject created by an API function be called as a construct
if it can be called
as a function. This is done by generating the same code for
var s = new app.Packages.java.lang.Integer(5); as
var s = app.Packages.java.lang.Integer(5);
and the caller handles both case correctly. A more sophiscated fix is to one
extra JSConstructCall
frame and allow CallAsConstructor in Builtin::HandleApiCallAsFunction.
This change itself shouldn't affect the semantic of normal case such as:
var a = {};
var s = new a();
A TypeError exception will be thrown in CALL_NON_FUNCTION (runtime.js).
Another part of fix is in the binding code, V8NPObject, which makes
NPN_InvokeDefault or NPN_Construct
call depending on which function is available.

The current version is now held in src/version.cc in a number of defines which needs to be modified when changing version.
The following defines make up the version information:
MAJOR_VERSION
MINOR_VERSION
BUILD_NUMBER
PATCH_LEVEL
CANDIDATE_VERSION
The first four are numbers and the fifth is a boolean. Besides these five the define
SONAME
can be used to set a specific soname when building the a shared library (see below). This will most likely be used on stable branches where binary compatibility is ensured between different versions. This define is a string.
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. Whenever a shared library is build with an soname the filename of the library will hold the full version name (e.g. libv8-1.2.2.so).

The debug message thread was introduced to make it possible to have the message handler callback be called from a different thread than the thread running V8 where the debug event occoured, but it never had any practical use, and prevents providing information to the message handler which is only available from the V8 thread.
In the future any thread decoupling will have do be done by the embedder.

The generic step-in mechanism floods the function called with break points to ensure a break is hit when entering the function. This generic mechanism was also used for function.apply. The code for function.apply contains a keyed load IC which was patched when stepping into function.apply. However function.apply enteres an internal frame not a JavaScript frame. This caused the logic for returning from the break in function.apply to fail as it forced a jump to the IC on the top JavaScript frame. The top JavaScript frame was the frame for the function calling function.apply not the frame for the apply function. Now returning from the break point in the keyed load IC in the apply code caused a jump to the code for the call IC for the function calling function.apply in the first place. Not a pretty sight.
Step-in now handles function.apply as a separate case where the actual JavaScript function called through apply is flodded with breakpoints instead of the function.apply function.

Fix exception propagation problem where undefined was returned instead
of an empty handle in case of an exception. This problem can break
C++ programs that are not interested in catching exceptions and just
want to propagate them out by testing for empty handles.
The issue is that exceptions are not rescheduled if they are
externally caught. Externally caught exceptions have to be
rescheduled if there is a JavaScript frame on the way to the C++ frame
that holds the external handler.

Add a semaphore for accessing debugger varaibles which can be changed from a different thread. This is mainly the debug message handler which can be set to NULL to disconnect the debugger.
Control the unloading of the debugger from the V8 thread. Before the debugger unload was called from the thread setting the debug message handler to NULL. This was not safe as this involves calling into V8. This change handles the unloading of the debugger either when entering a debugger event and the debugger was disconnected while the debugger was not active or when leaving the debugger and the debugger was disconnected while the debugger was active.
