clang++ on FreeBSD was blaming v8 for using invalid casts from nullptr:
reinterpret_cast from 'nullptr_t' to '...' is not allowed
Replace casts with NULL, or NULL with 0 where applicable.

Fix double definition errors in the libv8_base.a library target by
compiling out stub functions when building for x32.
This fix is incomplete because, although V8 now builds, it makes a
number of bad assumptions about the size of stack slots, see
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3630.

V8 3.26.31 has received 14 patches since the upgrade to 3.26.33. Since
3.26.33 is technically a tag on the 3.27 branch, reverting back to
3.26.31 would remove now default functionality like WeakMaps. Because of
that the patches have simply been cherry-picked and squashed.
Here is a summary of all patches:
* Fix index register assignment in LoadFieldByIndex for arm, arm64, and
mips.
* Fix invalid attributes when generalizing because of incompatible map
change.
* Skip write barriers when updating the weak hash table.
* MIPS: Avoid HeapObject check in HStoreNamedField.
* Do GC if CodeRange fails to allocate a block.
* Array.concat: properly go to dictionary mode when required.
* Keep CodeRange::current_allocation_block_index_ in range.
* Grow heap slower if GC freed many global handles.
* Do not eliminate bounds checks for "<const> - x".
* Add missing map check to optimized f.apply(...).
* In GrowMode, force the value to the right representation to avoid
deopts between storing the length and storing the value.
* Reduce max executable size limit.
* Fix invalid condition in check elimination effects.
* Fix off-by-one error in Array.concat slow mode check.

fd80a31e06 has introduced a segfault
during redundant boundary check elimination (#8208).
The problem consists of two parts:
1. Abscense of instruction iterator in
`EliminateRedundantBoundsChecks`. It was present in recent v8, but
wasn't considered important at the time of backport. However, since
the function is changing instructions order in block, it is
important to not rely at `i->next()` at the end of the loop.
2. Too strict ASSERT in `MoveIndexIfNecessary`. It is essentially a
backport of a45c96ab from v8's upstream. See
https://github.com/v8/v8/commit/a45c96ab for details.
fix#8208
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.

Fix the following valgrind warning:

# 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.)
