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.
* Don't set referer if already set

* Make `npm install` respect `config.unicode`
* Fix lifecycle to pass `Infinity` for config env value
* Don't return 0 exit code on invalid command
* cache: Handle 404s and other HTTP errors as errors
* bump tap dep, make tests stderr a bit quieter
* Resolve ~ in path configs to env.HOME
* Include npm version in default user-agent conf
* npm init: Use ISC as default license, use save-prefix for deps
* Many test and doc fixes
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.)
