When calling a known function from optimized code, where the number of actual arguments does not match the number of expected arguments, TurboFan has to call indirectly via the arguments adaptor trampoline, which creates an argument adaptor frame underneath the activation record for the callee. This is done so that the callee can still get to the actual arguments, using either 1. the arguments object, or 2. rest parameters (to get to superfluous arguments), or 3. the non-standard Function.arguments accessor (for sloppy mode functions), or 4. direct eval(), where we don't know whether there's a use of the arguments object hiding somewhere in the string. However going through the arguments adaptor trampoline is quite expensive usually, it seems to be responsible for over 60% of the call overhead in those cases. So this adds a fast path for the case of calling strict mode functions where we have an arguments mismatch, but where we are sure that the callee cannot observe the actual arguments. We use a bit on the SharedFunctionInfo to indicate that this is safe, which is controlled by hints from the Parser which knows whether the callee uses either arguments object or rest parameters. In those cases we use a direct call from optimized code, passing the expected arguments instead of the actual arguments. This improves the benchmark on the document below by around 60-65%, which is exactly the overhead of the arguments adaptor trampoline that we save in this case. This also adds a runtime flag --fast_calls_with_arguments_mismatches, which can be used to turn off the new behavior. This might be handy for checking the performance impact via Finch.
