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.

Commit f9ced08 switches V8 on Linux over from gettimeofday() to
clock_getres() and clock_gettime(). As of glibc 2.17, those functions
live in libc. For older versions, we need to pull them in from librt.
Fixes the following link-time error;
Release/obj.target/deps/v8/tools/gyp/libv8_base.a(platform-posix.o):
In function `v8::internal::OS::Ticks()':
platform-posix.cc:(.text+0x93c):
undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
platform-posix.cc:(.text+0x989):
undefined reference to `clock_getres'
Fixes#7514.

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.
