    [TurboFan] Serializing context information · 386ff6e5
    Mike Stanton authored
    In TurboFan, context specialization is an optimization that tries to
    either replace the load of a value from the context with a constant,
    or if that can't be achieved, at least reduce the hops up the
    context chain by starting a walk to the required depth from the
    first constant context that it can reach.
    
    Currently, this optimization is performed by looking into the
    heap during a reducer pass. With fully concurrent TurboFan, we
    need to instead gather information about contexts we may want
    to perform this optimization on during serialization.
    
    This CL adds functionality to the serializer to recognize and
    model operations that affect the context register. We add to the
    hinting structure already used by the serializer. There is
    a new type of hint: a VirtualContext. This is a tuple consisting
    of a handle to a Context, and a distance field that indicates how
    far away in a to-be-realized chain this VirtualContext sits from
    the context in the handle. For example:
    
    bytecode stream:
    ...
    CreateBlockContext
    ...
    
    After a block context is created, the accumulator now contains
    a VirtualContext Hint with a distance of 1 from any context hints
    that we are keeping track of in the current context register.
