      [turbofan] Retiring Greedy Allocator · 8e1ccba3
      mtrofin authored 
      We were able to achieve our goals for register allocation independent of
the allocation algorithm. Performance data so far is inconclusive re. the
value of the Greedy algorithm, compared to the particular Linear Scan
implementation we're currently using, and the performance measurement
techniques we currently use are too imprecise to help with this matter.

Retiring the algorithm to lower maintenance and evolution cost (e.g. lower
cost of adding aliasing support). Once we improve benchmarking stability,
and establish a suite sensitive enough for codegen improvement studies,
we may revive the algorithm, should the need arise.

      MemoryOperands, on IA32. This needed to be fixed so that we can
compile wasm code before creating instances, since the compiled code
needs to be patched up for memory and globals references.

This surfaces in asm-to-wasm scenarios.

Added testing (rather, enhanced existing tests).
Note patch#1 where we fail on ia32, and patch#2 with the fix.

      Revert of Add a trace-event for each runtime-stats timer (patchset #6 id:100001 of https://codereview.chromium.org/2052523002/ )

Reason for revert:
Seems to break TSAN, see http://build.chromium.org/p/client.v8/builders/V8%20Linux64%20TSAN/builds/10057

Original issue's description:
> The trace-events will have a high overhead when turned on, but they are in a disabled-by-default category.
>
> As long as the off overhead is negligible, this CL allows us to understand the behavior of V8 rather than its performance at the moment.
