    V8 x64 backend doesn't emit ABI compliant stack frames · 3cda21de
    Paolo Severini authored
    On 64 bit Windows, the OS stack walking does not work because the V8 x64
    backend doesn't emit unwinding info and also because it doesn't emit ABI
    compliant stack frames. See
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-wf50jFlii0c_Pr52lm2ZU-49m220nhYMrHDi3vXnh0/edit
    for more details.
    
    This problem can be fixed by observing that V8 frames usually all have the same
    prolog and epilog:
    
    push rbp,
    mov rbp, rsp
    ...
    pop rbp
    ret N
    
    and that it is possible to define XDATA (UNWIND_CODEs) that specify how Windows
    should walk through V8 frames. Furthermore, since V8 Code objects are all
    allocated in the same code-range for an Isolate, it is possible to register a
    single PDATA/XDATA entry to cover stack walking for all the code generated
    inside that code-range.
    
    This PR contains changes required to enable stack walking on Win64:
    
    EmbeddedFileWriter now adds assembler directives to the builtins
    snapshot source file (embedded.cc) to emit additional entries in the .pdata and
    in the .xdata section of the V8 executable. This takes care of stack walking
    for embedded builtins. (The case of non-embedded builtins is not supported).
    The x64 Assembler has been modified to collect the information required to emit
    this unwind info for builtins.
    
    Stack walking for jitted code is handled is Isolate.cpp, by registering
    dynamically PDATA/XDATA for the whole code-range address space every time a new
    Isolate is initialized, and by unregistering them when the Isolate is
    destroyed.
    
    Stack walking for WASM jitted code is handled is the same way in
    wasm::NativeModule (wasm/wasm-code-manager.cpp).
    
    It is important to note that Crashpad and Breakpad are already registering
    PDATA/XDATA to manage and report unhandled exceptions (but not for embedded
    builtins). Since it is not possible to register multiple PDATA entries for the
    same address range, a new function is added to the V8 API:
    SetUnhandledExceptionCallback() can be used by an embedder to register its own
    unhandled exception handler for exceptions that arise in v8-generated code.
    V8 embedders should be modified accordingly (code for this is in a separate PR
    in the Chromium repository:
    https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1474703).
    
    All these changes are experimental, behind:
    
    the 'v8_win64_unwinding_info' build flag, and
    the '--win64-unwinding-info' runtime flag.
