Original issue's description:
> [wasm] Initial signal handler
>
> This is basically the minimum viable signal handler for Wasm bounds checks.
> It includes the TLS check and the fine grained instructions checks. These
> two checks provide most of the safety for the signal handler. Future CLs will
> add code range and data range checks for more robustness.
>
> The trap handling code and data structures are all in src/trap-handler, with
> the code that actually runs in the signal handler confined to
> src/trap-handler/signal-handler.cc.
>
> This changes adds a new V8 API that the embedder should call from a signal
> handler that will give V8 the chance to handle the fault first. For hosts that
> do not want to implement their own signal handler, we include the option to
> install a simple one. This simple handler is also used for the tests.
>
> When a Wasm module is instantiated, information about each function is passed
> to the trap handler, which is used to classify faults. These are removed during
> the instance finalizer.
>
> Several future enhancements are planned before turning this on by default.
> Obviously, the additional checks will be added to MaybeHandleFault. We are
> also planning to add a two-level CodeObjectData table that is grouped by
> isolates to make cleanup easier and also reduce potential for contending on
> a single data structure.

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.
