* src: use STL containers instead of v8 values for static module dataJoyee Cheung2018-11-201-40/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of putting the source code and the cache in v8::Objects, put them in per-process std::maps. This has the following benefits: - It's slightly lighter in weight compared to storing things on the v8 heap. Also it may be slightly faster since the preivous v8::Object is already in dictionary mode - though the difference is very small given the number of native modules is limited. - The source and code cache generation templates are now much simpler since they just initialize static arrays and manipulate STL constructs. - The static native module data can be accessed independently of any Environment or Isolate, and it's easy to look them up from the C++'s side. - It's now impossible to mutate the source code used to compile native modules from the JS land since it's completely separate from the v8 heap. We can still get the constant strings from process.binding('natives') but that's all. A few drive-by fixes: - Remove DecorateErrorStack in LookupAndCompile - We don't need to capture the exception to decorate when we encounter errors during native module compilation, as those errors should be syntax errors and v8 is able to decorate them well. We use CompileFunctionInContext so there is no need to worry about wrappers either. - The code cache could be rejected when node is started with v8 flags. Instead of aborting in that case, simply keep a record in the native_module_without_cache set. - Refactor js2c.py a bit, reduce code duplication and inline Render() to make the one-byte/two-byte special treatment easier to read.

* src: compile native modules and their code cache in C++Joyee Cheung2018-11-151-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch refactors out a part of NativeModule.prototype.compile (in JS land) into a C++ NativeModule class, this enables a couple of possibilities: 1. By moving the code to the C++ land, we have more opportunity to specialize the compilation process of the native modules (e.g. compilation options, code cache) that is orthogonal to how user land modules are compiled 2. We can reuse the code to compile bootstrappers and context fixers and enable them to be compiled with the code cache later, since they are not loaded by NativeModule in the JS land their caching must be done in C++. 3. Since there is no need to pass the static data to JS for compilation anymore, this enables us to use (std::map<std::string, const char*>) in the generated node_code_cache.cc and node_javascript.cc later, and scope every actual access to the source of native modules to a std::map lookup instead of a lookup on a v8::Object in dictionary mode. This patch also refactor the code cache generator and tests a bit and trace the `withCodeCache` and `withoutCodeCache` in a Set instead of an Array, and makes sure that all the cachable builtins are tested.

* src: perform integrity checks on built-in code cacheJoyee Cheung2018-08-181-3/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently V8 only checks that the length of the source code is the same as the code used to generate the hash, so we add an additional check here: 1. During compile time, when generating node_javascript.cc and node_code_cache.cc, we compute and include the hash of the (unwrapped) JavaScript source in both. 2. At runtime, we check that the hash of the code being compiled and the hash of the code used to generate the cache (inside the wrapper) is the same. This is based on the assumptions: 1. `internalBinding('code_cache_hash')` must be in sync with `internalBinding('code_cache')` (same C++ file) 2. `internalBinding('natives_hash')` must be in sync with `process.binding('natives')` (same C++ file) 3. If `internalBinding('natives_hash')` is in sync with `internalBinding('natives_hash')`, then the (unwrapped) code used to generate `internalBinding('code_cache')` should be in sync with the (unwrapped) code in `process.binding('natives')` There will be, however, false positives if the wrapper used to generate the cache is different from the one used at run time, and the length of the wrapper somehow stays the same. But that should be rare and can be eased once we make the two bootstrappers cached and checked as well.

* build: create V8 code cache after script is runJoyee Cheung2018-07-271-18/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes it possible to generate the code cache for the builtins directly from the original script object (instead of compiling a new one) and after the script has been run (via `NativeModule.require`). Before this patch only the top level functions (the wrapped ones) are included in the cache, after this patch the inner functions in those modules will be included as well. Also blacklists modules from dependencies like V8 and node-inspect since we cannot guarantee that they are suitable to be executed directly.

* build: speed up startup with V8 code cacheJoyee Cheung2018-06-271-0/+124
This patch speeds up the startup time and reduce the startup memory footprint by using V8 code cache when comiling builtin modules. The current approach is demonstrated in the `with-code-cache` Makefile target (no corresponding Windows target at the moment). 1. Build the binary normally (`src/node_code_cache_stub.cc` is used), by now `internalBinding('code_cache')` is an empty object 2. Run `tools/generate_code_cache.js` with the binary, which generates the code caches by reading source code of builtin modules off source code exposed by `require('internal/bootstrap/cache').builtinSource` and then generate a C++ file containing static char arrays of the code cache, using a format similar to `node_javascript.cc` 3. Run `configure` with the `--code-cache-path` option so that the newly generated C++ file will be used when compiling the new binary. The generated C++ file will put the cache into the `internalBinding('code_cache')` object with the module ids as keys 4. The new binary tries to read the code cache from `internalBinding('code_cache')` and use it to compile builtin modules. If the cache is used, it will put the id into `require('internal/bootstrap/cache').compiledWithCache` for bookkeeping, otherwise the id will be pushed into `require('internal/bootstrap/cache').compiledWithoutCache` This patch also added tests that verify the code cache is generated and used when compiling builtin modules. The binary with code cache: - Is ~1MB bigger than the binary without code cahe - Consumes ~1MB less memory during start up - Starts up about 60% faster PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21405 Reviewed-By: John-David Dalton <john.david.dalton@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Anna Henningsen <anna@addaleax.net> Reviewed-By: Gus Caplan <me@gus.host>
