    [sandbox] Make external ptr table usable under pointer compression · 2679a36e
    Shu-yu Guo authored
    This CL moves the external pointer table out of V8_ENABLE_SANDBOX and
    into V8_COMPRESS_POINTERS. The external pointer table is also useful
    even when not sandboxing external pointers to ease alignment
    requirements under pointer compression.
    
    It is onerous for the allocator to support non-tagged-size alignment.
    Under pointer compression, tagged is 4 bytes while system pointers are
    8 bytes. Because external pointer table indices are 4-bytes, fields that
    require natural alignment (e.g. the state field in JSAtomicsMutex) when
    the system pointer size is 8-bytes can use an indirection via the
    pointer table to ease the alignment restriction back to 4-bytes under
    pointer compression.
