ofrobots e5a9947811 [profiler] Implement POC Sampling Heap Profiler
This implements a proof-of-concept sampling based heap profiler inspired by
tcmalloc's heap profiler [1] and Go's mprof/memprofile [2].

The basic idea is the sample allocations using a randomized Poisson process. At
any point in time we can cheaply request the set of live sample objects that
should be a representative sample of heap. Samples include stack-traces from the
allocation sites, making this an effective tool for memory leak debugging.

Unlike AllocationTracking, this is intended to be cheap and usable online in
production.

The proof-of-concept is only sampling new-space allocations at this point.
Support for sampling paged space and native allocations is anticipated in the
future.

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.

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
