    heap: Improved incremental scheduling for unified heap · bd02f663
    Michael Lippautz authored
    When the embedder integrates in V8's garbage collector the performance
    of the atomic phase is sensitive to how much embedder memory is found
    through marking the overall transitive closure.
    
    Before this patch, V8 would help out tracing the embedder's heap when
    making progress through tasks but not on allocations. In addition, V8
    would complete the garbage collection when it has observed it's own
    marking worklists as empty 3 times (*). This can create performance
    cliffs when there's a lot of work still to be done on the embedder
    side.
    
    This patch adds helping steps on allocation that are proportional to
    the bytes that V8 would otherwise process, guaranteeing some progress
    as long as there's V8 allocations. This allows us to remove (*).
    
    Potential Tradeoffs:
    - More time spent in V8's garbage collection metrics as we slightly
      limit the chances for the embedder to mark objects through tasks.
    - Prolonged V8.execute time (JS execution)
    + Faster progress
    + Less memory
    + Smaller atomic pause time
