Fixed <rdar://problem/6885680> CrashTracer: [USER] 1 crash in Install

(Original patch by Joe Sokol and Ronnie Misra.)


SunSpider says 1.004x faster.

  • interpreter/RegisterFile.cpp: (JSC::RegisterFile::releaseExcessCapacity): Instead of doing complicated math that sometimes used to overflow, just release the full range of the register file.
  • interpreter/RegisterFile.h: (JSC::isPageAligned): (JSC::RegisterFile::RegisterFile): Added ASSERTs to verify that it's safe to release the full range of the register file.

(JSC::RegisterFile::shrink): No need to releaseExcessCapacity() if the
new end is not smaller than the old end. (Also, doing so used to cause
numeric overflow, unmapping basically the whole process from memory.)

<rdar://problem/6886382> REGRESSION (Safari 4PB -> ToT): HTTP cache revalidation broken.

This was caused in ​http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/41425, which fixed an image caching bug
in QuickLooks (rdar://problem/6619630).

We need to respect the DocumentLoader's request cache policy when deciding the cache policy
for subresources, but the check (originally removed in r39304 and added back in in the same
place in r41424) needs to be tweaked and relocated a bit.

  • loader/FrameLoader.cpp: (WebCore::FrameLoader::subresourceCachePolicy): Renamed from cachePolicy(). Move checking the DocumentLoader's request to a more appropriate place.

ClipboardMac cleanup
​https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25847

I'm mostly just moving code, however there are 3 changes I made while moving, detailed below.

No functional changes, so no tests.

  • platform/mac/ClipboardMac.mm: (WebCore::ClipboardMac::clearData): (WebCore::absoluteURLsFromPasteboardFilenames): Broke out logic for filenames into its own function to make the caller more readable. (WebCore::absoluteURLsFromPasteboard): Broke out logic from getData into absoluteURLsFromPasteboard. This returns an NSArray so that we can use -[NSArray componentsJoinedByString] in the caller (which is cleaner than the manual "\n" addition before). This also access to the full list of file urls for future callers. (WebCore::ClipboardMac::getData): unsigned count = (type == "URL") ? 1 : [fileList count]; is now an explicit check for "URL", before it was a check for != "text/uri-list" which was much more confusing in my opinion. text/uri-list and URL are the only two types which map to NSURLPboardType in cocoaTypeFromMIMEType(). (WebCore::ClipboardMac::types): I removed an extra if (!types) check, right before [types count]. In Obj-C messaging nil will return 0 (size of a pointer), so it's safe to message nil here and expect it to return 0.

Refactor JIT code-handle objects. The representation of generated code is currently
a bit of a mess. We have a class JITCode which wraps the pointer to a block of
generated code, but this object does not reference the executable pool meaning that
external events (the pool being derefed) could make the pointer become invalid.
To overcome this both the JIT and Yarr implement further (and similar) objects to
wrap the code pointer with a RefPtr to the pool. To add to the mire, as well as the
CodeBlock containing a handle onto the code the FunctionBodyNode also contains a
copy of the code pointer which is used almost (but not entirely) uniquely to access
the JIT code for a function.

Rationalization of all this:

  • Add a new type 'MacroAssembler::CodeRef' as a handle for a block of JIT generated code.
  • Change the JIT & Yarr to internally handle code using CodeRefs.
  • Move the CodeRef (formerly anow defunct JITCodeRef) from CodeBlock to its owner node.
  • Remove the (now) redundant code pointer from FunctionBodyNode.

While tidying this up I've made the PatchBuffer return code in new allocations using a CodeRef,
and have enforced an interface that the PatchBuffer will always be used, and 'finalizeCode()' or
'finalizeCodeAddendum()' will always be called exactly once on the PatchBuffer to complete code generation.

This gives us a potentially useful hook ('PatchBuffer::performFinalization()') at the end of generation,
which may have a number of uses. It may be helpful should we wish to switch our generation
model to allow RW/RX exclusive memory, and it may be useful on non-cache-coherent platforms to
give us an oportunity to cache flush as necessary.

No performance impact.
