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.
The security fix from commit 6b92a713 also back-ported the test case.
Said test case relies on API that is only available in newer versions
of V8 and, as a result, broke the `make native` and `make <arch.mode>`
builds. This commit reverts that part of the back-port. Fixes the
following build error:
../test/cctest/test-api.cc: In function ‘void TestRegress260106()’:
../test/cctest/test-api.cc:17712:34: error: ‘class v8::Context’ has
no member named ‘GetIsolate’
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.
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.
This is a back-port of upstream commit r15665. Original commit log:
Use internal array as API function cache.
