Previously we were only shifting the address space for ASLR on 32bit
processes, apply the same shift for 64bit so processes don't
get artificially limited native heap.

Note: The v8 test case did not cleanly apply, so it's missing from this
patch. I'm assuming this is not a problem if the v8 test suite is not
part of the node build / test system. If that's the case I'll fix it.
Otherwise the test case will be integrated once v8 is upgraded.
Date.now() indirectly calls gettimeofday() on Linux and that's a system
call that is extremely expensive on virtualized systems when the host
operating system has to emulate access to the hardware clock.
Case in point: output from `perf record -c 10000 -e cycles:u -g -i`
for a benchmark/http_simple bytes/8 benchmark with a light load of
50 concurrent clients:
53.69% node node [.] v8::internal::OS::TimeCurrentMillis()
|
--- v8::internal::OS::TimeCurrentMillis()
|
|--99.77%-- v8::internal::Runtime_DateCurrentTime(v8::internal::Arguments, v8::internal::Isolate*)
| 0x23587880618e
That's right - over half of user time spent inside the V8 function that
calls gettimeofday().
Notably, nearly all system time gets attributed to acpi_pm_read(), the
kernel function that reads the ACPI power management timer:
32.49% node [kernel.kallsyms] [k] acpi_pm_read
|
--- acpi_pm_read
|
|--98.40%-- __getnstimeofday
| getnstimeofday
| |
| |--71.61%-- do_gettimeofday
| | sys_gettimeofday
| | system_call_fastpath
| | 0x7fffbbaf6dbc
| | |
| | |--98.72%-- v8::internal::OS::TimeCurrentMillis()
The cost of the gettimeofday() system call is normally measured in
nanoseconds but we were seeing 100 us averages and spikes >= 1000 us.
The numbers were so bad, my initial hunch was that the node process was
continuously getting rescheduled inside the system call...
v8::internal::OS::TimeCurrentMillis()'s most frequent caller is
v8::internal::Runtime_DateCurrentTime(), the V8 run-time function
that's behind Date.now(). The timeout handling logic in lib/http.js
and lib/net.js calls into lib/timers.js and that module will happily
call Date.now() hundreds or even thousands of times per second.
If you saw exports._unrefActive() show up in --prof output a lot,
now you know why.
That's why this commit makes V8 switch over to clock_gettime() on Linux.
In particular, it checks if CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE is available and has
a resolution <= 1 ms because in that case the clock_gettime() call can
be fully serviced from the vDSO.
It speeds up the aforementioned benchmark by about 100% on the affected
systems and should go a long way toward addressing the latency issues
that StrongLoop customers have been reporting.
This patch will be upstreamed as a CR against V8 3.26. I'm sending it
as a pull request for v0.10 first because that's what our users are
running and because the delta between 3.26 and 3.14 is too big to
reasonably back-port the patch. I'll open a pull request for the
master branch once the CR lands upstream.

Fix the following valgrind warning:
Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
at 0x7D64E7: v8::internal::GlobalHandles::IterateAllRootsWithClassIds(v8::internal::ObjectVisitor*) (global-handles.cc:613)

# etc.
This was fixed upstream in r12903 and released in 3.15.2 but that commit
was never back-ported to the 3.14 branch that node.js v0.10 uses.
The code itself works okay; this commit simply shuffles the clauses in
an `if` statement to check that the node is in use before checking its
class id (which is uninitialized if the node is not in use.)
Original commit message:
VS2013 contains a number of improvements, most notably the addition
of all C99 math functions.
I'm a little bit concerned about the change I had to make in
cpu-profiler.cc, but I spent quite a bit of time looking at it and was
unable to figure out any rational explanation for the warning. It's
possible it's spurious. Since it seems like a useful warning in
general though, I chose not to disable globally at the gyp level.
I do think someone with expertise here should probably try to
determine if this is a legitimate warning.

NOTE: Path applied without `cpu-profiler.cc` changes because in our
version it was looking totally different.
The %p is replaced with the current PID. This used to work in node.js
v0.9.7 but it seems to have been lost somewhere along the way.
This commit makes the fix from 6b713b52 ("cluster: make --prof work for
workers") work again. Without it, all log data ends up in a single
file and is unusable because the addresses are all wrong.
Quoting CVE-2013-6639:
The DehoistArrayIndex function in hydrogen-dehoist.cc in Google V8
before 3.22.24.7, as used in Google Chrome before 31.0.1650.63,
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via JavaScript code
that sets the value of an array element with a crafted index.
Quoting CVE-2013-6640:
The DehoistArrayIndex function in hydrogen-dehoist.cc in Google V8
before 3.22.24.7, as used in Google Chrome before 31.0.1650.63,
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
read) via JavaScript code that sets a variable to the value of an
array element with a crafted index.
Like 6b92a7, this is unlikely to affect node.js because it only runs
local, trusted code. However, if there exists some module somewhere
that populates an array index with remotely provided data this could
very well be used to crash a remote server running node. Defense in
depth and all.
This is a backport of upstream commit r17801. Original commit log:

Patch from Maciej Małecki <me@mmalecki.com>.
This is a back-port of upstream commit r12802 and a forward port of
commit 9fa953d from the v0.8 branch. V8 3.22 in the master branch
contains the patch so no further forward-porting is necessary.
This commit removes the simple/test-event-emitter-memory-leak test for
being unreliable with the new garbage collector: the memory pressure
exerted by the test case is too low for the garbage collector to kick
in. It can be made to work again by limiting the heap size with the
--max_old_space_size=x flag but that won't be very reliable across
platforms and architectures.
After the upgrade from 3.20.17.7 to 3.20.17.11, we've begun hitting
random assertions in V8 in memory-constrained / GC-heavy situations.
The assertions all seem to be related to heap allocations and garbage
collection but apart from that, they're all over the place.
This reverts commit 970bdccc38.

Note: the patch has been accepted upstream but hasn't made its way into

Quoting the CVE:
Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.95, allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have
unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion."
Likely has zero impact on node.js because it only runs local, trusted
code but let's apply it anyway.
