      This is to establish a naming rule for Torque-generated files:
- If the file is called foo/bar-tq..., then it is derived from a

So far, we attached -tq to all Torque-generated file names, where it
sometimes corresponded to a .tq file name and sometimes not.
It is not necessary to add -tq to file names to indicate that they are
Torque-generated, since they are already in a directory called

      [cpu-profiler] Ensure sampled thread has Isolate lock under Windows · 76217f57
      Alex Kodat authored 
      While the sampler checked if the sampled thread had the Isolate locked
(if locks are being used) under Linux, the check was not done under
Windows (or Fuchsia) which meant that in a multi-threading application
under Windows, thread locking was not checked making it prone to seg
faults and the like as the profiler would be using isolate->js_entry_sp
to determine the stack to walk but isolate->js_entry_sp is the stack
pointer for the thread that currently has the Isolate lock so, if the
sampled thread does not have the lock, the sampler woud be iterating
over the wrong stack, one that might actually be actively changing on
another thread. The fix was to move the lock check into CpuSampler
and Ticker (--prof) so all OSes would do the correct check.

The basic concept is that on all operating systems a CpuProfiler, and
so its corresponding CpuCampler, the profiler is tied to a thread.
This is not based on first principles or anything, it's simply the
way it works in V8, though it is a useful conceit as it makes
visualization and interpretation of profile data much easier.

To collect a sample on a thread associated with a profiler the thread
must be stopped for obvious reasons -- walking the stack of a running
thread is a formula for disaster. The mechanism for stopping a thread
is OS-specific and is done in sample.cc. There are currently three
basic approaches, one for Linux/Unix variants, one for Windows and one
for Fuchsia. The approaches vary as to which thread actually collects
the sample -- under Linux the sample is actually collected on the
(interrupted) sampled thread whereas under Fuchsia/Windows it's on
a separate thread.

However, in a multi-threaded environment (where Locker is used), it's
not sufficient for the sampled thread to be stopped. Because the stack
walk involves looking in the Isolate heap, no other thread can be
messing with the heap while the sample is collected. The only ways to
ensure this would be to either stop all threads whenever collecting a
sample, or to ensure that the thread being sampled holds the Isolate
lock so prevents other threads from messing with the heap. While there
might be something to be said for the "stop all threads" approach, the
current approach in V8 is to only stop the sampled thread so, if in a
multi-threaded environment, the profiler must check if the thread being
sampled holds the Isolate lock.

Since this check must be done, independent of which thread the sample
is being collected on (since it varies from OS to OS), the approach is
to save the thread id of the thread to be profiled/sampled when the
CpuSampler is instantiated (on all OSes it is instantiated on the
sampled thread) and then check that thread id against the Isolate lock
holder thread id before collecting a sample. If it matches, we know
sample.cc has stop the sampled thread, one way or another, and we know
that no other thread can mess with the heap (since the stopped thread
holds the Isolate lock) so it's safe to walk the stack and collect data
from the heap so the sample can be taken. It it doesn't match, we can't
safely collect the sample so we don't.

      [build] Make run_mkgrokdump explicitly dep on run_mksnapshot · 0ed32e64
      Leszek Swirski authored 
      tools/debug_helper:run_mkgrokdump used to only depend on mkgrokdump.
However, the snapshot can change without affecting the mkgrokdump
binary itself. So, if the mkgrokdump binary doesn't change, then
run_mkgrokdump doesn't run, even if the snapshot changed.

This could cause mysterious test failures in incremental builds, in
particular for tests testing the contents of heap-constants-gen.cc.

Now, we make run_mkgrokdump depend on run_mksnapshot_default
directly, so that snapshot updates force an mkgrokdump run.

      heap,cppgc: Update StackState enum values · fff219bf
      Omer Katz authored 
      This CL adds 2 new values to the EmbedderStackState enum with more
explicit names. The old values are updated as aliases to the new
values and marked as soon to be deprecated. This CL also moves the
enum to v8-platform.h so that it can be reused by cppgc.

Depracating individual values in an enum is supported by GCC only
since version 6. Thus new macros were needed for the deprecation
(which delegate to the existing macros when supported). GCC versions
older than 6 are still used by the CQ bots.

      [tools] Fix v8windbg behavior on Map's bit_field2 · 8b1a5681
      Seth Brenith authored 
      Bill kindly pointed out to me that v8windbg was not handling bit_field2
correctly. The issue was that the constexpr type for ElementsKind was,
somewhat unsurprisingly, "ElementsKind", but v8windbg expected a fully-
qualified type name like "v8::internal::ElementsKind". This change
addresses the problem in two ways:
1. Update v8windbg's type resolution logic to resolve type names as if
   they were used in the v8::internal namespace. This makes it more
   consistent with how those type names are used in other generated
   Torque code, reducing surprises and the number of times we have to
   write `v8::internal::` in .tq files.
2. Add compile-time verification that any constexpr type name used as a
   string in class-debug-readers-tq.cc can also resolve as a type name.

      [torque] Generate GC object visitors for Torque classes · 4f4d73f2
      Tobias Tebbi authored 
      In the process:

* Augment C++-generated Torque classes with SizeFor methods to
  calculate size of instances.

* Add a new "@generateBodyDescriptor" annotation that causes Torque to
  generate C++ BodyDescriptors code that can be used to visit objects
  compatible with existing V8 mechanisms, e.g. GC

* Fully automate C++ macro machinery so that adding non-extern Torque
  class doesn't require any C++ changes, including ensuring generation
  of instance types and proper boilerplate for validators and
  printers.

* Make handling of @export a true annotation, allowing the modifier to
  be used on class declarations.

* Add functionality such that classes with the @export annotation are
  available to be used from C++. Field accessors for exported classes
  are public and factory methods are generated to create instances of
  the objects from C++.

* Change the Torque compiler such that Non-exported classes implicitly
  have the @generateBodyDescriptor annotation added and causes both
  verifiers and printers to be generated.

* Switch non-extern Torque classes from using existing Struct-based
  machinery to being first-class classes that support more existing
  Torque class features.

      [tools] Add in-object properties to debug_helper · dcb828b4
      Seth Brenith authored 
      Until now, the in-object properties on JSObject have been invisible to
tools using the postmortem debugging library. With this change, those
tools will get enough information to show a flat list of property
values. This is still less powerful than the runtime printers, which can
show the corresponding key for each value, but it's a big step up from
manually inspecting memory.

This change basically requires a reimplementation of
Map::GetInObjectProperties for postmortem debugging. I'm not
enthusiastic about duplicating this logic, but it's pretty small and I
don't see any good alternatives.

As a drive-by cleanup, I moved some inline string literals into a batch
of constexpr char arrays.

      [torque][tools] Define layout of DescriptorArray for postmortem tools · 6b11b700
      Seth Brenith authored 
      This change defines a way that v8_debug_helper can describe object
fields which are packed structs, and uses it for the "descriptors" field
in DescriptorArray.

In more detail:
- debug-helper.h (the public interface for v8_debug_helper) adds a size
  and an optional list of struct properties to ObjectProperty.
- debug-helper-internal.h mirrors those changes to the internal class
  hierarchy which maintains proper unique_ptr ownership.
- In src/torque/class-debug-reader-generator.cc,
  - Some existing logic is moved into smaller functions.
  - New logic is added to generate the field list for structs. Example
    output is included in a comment above the function
    GenerateGetPropsChunkForField.

      [torque] Use generated instance types, part 1 · 91e6421c
      Seth Brenith authored 
      This change begins making use of the fact that Torque now knows about
the relationship between classes and instance types, to replace a few
repetitive lists:

- Instance type checkers (single and range), defined in
  src/objects/instance-type.h
- Verification dispatch in src/diagnostics/objects-debug.cc
- Printer dispatch in src/diagnostics/objects-printer.cc
- Postmortem object type detection in
  tools/debug_helper/get-object-properties.cc

Torque is updated to generate four macro lists for the instance types,
representing all of the classes separated in two dimensions: classes
that correspond to a single instance type versus those that have a
range, and classes that are fully defined in Torque (with fields and
methods inside '{}') versus those that are only declared. The latter
distinction is useful because fully-defined classes are guaranteed to
correspond to real C++ classes, whereas only-declared classes are not.

A few other changes were required to make the lists above work:

- Renamed IsFiller to IsFreeSpaceOrFiller to better reflect what it does
  and avoid conflicts with the new macro-generated IsFiller method. This
  is the part I'm most worried about: I think the new name is an
  improvement for clarity and consistency, but I could imagine someone
  typing IsFiller out of habit and introducing a bug. If we'd prefer to
  keep the name IsFiller, my other idea is to rename FreeSpace to
  VariableSizeFiller and Filler to FixedSizeFiller.
- Made Tuple3 extend from Struct, not Tuple2, because IsTuple2 is
  expected to check for only TUPLE2_TYPE and not include TUPLE3_TYPE.
- Normalized the dispatched behavior for BigIntBase and HeapNumber.
- Added a few new object printers.

      [tools] Add list of classes to v8_debug_helper · 4d0360aa
      Seth Brenith authored 
      This change extends v8_debug_helper to export a new method that returns
a list of all known heap object types.

Why? We can substantially improve the user experience in our work-in-
progress WinDbg extension if we register handlers not only for
v8::internal::Object but for every specific HeapObject type. This has
two benefits:

- You save a click: if you're expanding a local variable of a more
  specific type than Object, you can see properties immediately rather
  than first needing to expand a sub-item that casts the variable to
  Object.
- You retain the type hint: GetObjectProperties accepts a type hint
  string, and it's super important to pass it when working in a crash
  dump because the object's Map is probably inaccessible. If we have to
  cast to Object first, we lose this data.

      [tools] Use instance types of known Maps in v8_debug_helper · 1d3c4975
      Seth Brenith authored 
      If we can read an object's Map pointer but not any data from the Map
itself, we may still be able to accurately describe the object's type if
the Map pointer matches one of the known Maps from the snapshot.
GetObjectProperties uses that data in one of two ways:
- If it is sure that the Map pointer matches a known Map, then it uses
  the type from that Map and continues as if it read the type normally.
- If the Map pointer is at the right offset within a heap page to match
  a known Map, but the caller didn't provide the addresses of the first
  pages in Map space or read-only space, then the type of that Map is
  just a guess and gets returned in a separate array. This gives the
  caller the opportunity to present guessed types to the user, and
  perhaps call again using the guessed type as the type hint.

      [tools][torque] Include string values in GetObjectProperties responses · 2ccca6c5
      Seth Brenith authored 
      This change provides a quick way to see string contents in postmortem
debugging sessions, without digging through a (possibly very large, in
the case of ConsString) tree of properties. As well as being convenient
for inspecting String objects, this functionality will also be necessary
for displaying property names on JSReceiver objects. In order to support
custom behaviors for specific classes, this change extends the existing
generated debug reader classes with a visitor pattern.

      [tools][torque]Improve postmortem API behavior on strings · 1a815e44
      Seth Brenith authored 
      This change adds the indexed field for the characters in the definition
of sequential string types, and introduces support for recognizing the
various specific string types in v8_debug_helper. In an attempt to
avoid duplicating info about string instance types, it also refactors
String::Get so that StringShape (a simple class usable by postmortem
tools) can dispatch using a class that defines behaviors for each
concrete type.

      Reland "Add postmortem debugging helper library" · 0921e8f2
      Seth Brenith authored 
      This is a reland of 517ab73f

Updates since original: now compressed pointers passed to the function
GetObjectProperties are required to be sign-extended. Previously, the
function allowed zero-extended values, but that led to ambiguity on
pointers like 0x88044919: is it compressed or is the heap range actually
centered on 0x100000000?

      Add postmortem debugging helper library · 517ab73f
      Seth Brenith authored 
      This change begins to implement the functionality described in
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1evHnb1uLlSbvHAAsmOXyc25x3uh1DjgNa8u1RHvwVhk/edit#
for investigating V8 state in crash dumps.

This change adds a new library, v8_debug_helper, for providing platform-
agnostic assistance with postmortem debugging. This library can be used
by extensions built for debuggers such as WinDbg or lldb. Its public API
is described by debug-helper.h; currently the only method it exposes is
GetObjectProperties, but we'd like to add more functionality over time.
The API surface is restricted to plain C-style structs and pointers, so
that it's easy to link from a debugger extension built with a different
toolchain.

This change also adds a new cctest file to exercise some basic
interaction with the new library.

The API function GetObjectProperties takes an object pointer (which
could be compressed, or weak, or a SMI), and returns a string
description of the object and a list of properties the object contains.
For now, the list of properties is entirely based on Torque object
definitions, but we expect to add custom properties in future updates so
that it can be easier to make sense of complex data structures such as
dictionaries.

GetObjectProperties does several things that are intended to generate
somewhat useful results even in cases where memory may be corrupt or
unavailable:
- The caller may optionally provide a type string which will be used if
  the memory for the object's Map is inaccessible.
- All object pointers are compared against the list of known objects
  generated by mkgrokdump. The caller may optionally provide the
  pointers for the first pages of various heap spaces, to avoid spurious
  matches. If those pointers are not provided, then any matches are
  prefixed with "maybe" in the resulting description string, such as
  "maybe UndefinedValue (0x4288000341 <Oddball>)".
