We would like to be able to see if a given hang in BHR occurred
under high CPU load, as this is an indication that the hang is
of less use to us, since it's likely that the external CPU use
is more responsible for it.
The way this works is fairly simple. We get the system CPU usage
on a scale from 0 to 1, and we get the current process's CPU
usage, also on a scale from 0 to 1, and we subtract the latter
from the former. We then compare this value to a threshold, which
is 1 - (1 / p), where p is the number of (virtual) cores on the
machine. This threshold might need to be tuned, so that we
require an entire physical core in order to not annotate the hang,
but for now it seemed the most reasonable line in the sand.
I should note that this considers CPU usage in child or parent
processes as external. While we are responsible for that CPU usage,
it still indicates that the stack we receive from BHR is of little
value to us, since the source of the actual hang is external to
that stack.

PROFILER_MARKER is now just a trivial wrapper for profiler_add_marker(). This

This patch reduces the differences between builds where the profiler is enabled
and those where the profiler is disabled. It does this by removing numerous
MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER checks.
These changes have the following consequences.
- Various functions and classes are now defined in all builds, and so can be
used unconditionally: profiler_add_marker(), profiler_set_js_context(),
profiler_clear_js_context(), profiler_get_pseudo_stack(), AutoProfilerLabel.
(They are effectively no-ops in non-profiler builds, of course.)
- The no-op versions of PROFILER_* are now gone. The remaining versions are
almost no-ops when the profiler isn't built.

One of the things that I've noticed in profiling startup overhead is that,
even with the startup cache, we spend about 130ms just loading and decoding
scripts from the startup cache on my machine.
I think we should be able to do better than that by doing some of that work in
the background for scripts that we know we'll need during startup. With this
change, we seem to consistently save about 3-5% on non-e10s startup overhead
on talos. But there's a lot of room for tuning, and I think we get some
considerable improvement with a few ongoing tweeks.
Some notes about the approach:
- Setting up the off-thread compile is fairly expensive, since we need to
create a global object, and a lot of its built-in prototype objects for each
compile. So in order for there to be a performance improvement for OMT
compiles, the script has to be pretty large. Right now, the tipping point
seems to be about 20K.
There's currently no easy way to improve the per-compile setup overhead, but
we should be able to combine the off-thread compiles for multiple smaller
scripts into a single operation without any additional per-script overhead.
- The time we spend setting up scripts for OMT compile is almost entirely
CPU-bound. That means that we have a chunk of about 20-50ms where we can
safely schedule thread-safe IO work during early startup, so if we schedule
some of our current synchronous IO operations on background threads during the
script cache setup, we basically get them for free, and can probably increase
the number of scripts we compile in the background.
- I went with an uncompressed mmap of the raw XDR data for a storage format.
That currently occupies about 5MB of disk space. Gzipped, it's ~1.2MB, so
compressing it might save some startup disk IO, but keeping it uncompressed
simplifies a lot of the OMT and even main thread decoding process, but, more
importantly:
- We currently don't use the startup cache in content processes, for a variety
of reasons. However, with this approach, I think we can safely store the
cached script data from a content process before we load any untrusted code
into it, and then share mmapped startup cache data between all content
processes. That should speed up content process startup *a lot*, and very
likely save memory, too. And:
- If we're especially concerned about saving per-process memory, and we keep
the cache data mapped for the lifetime of the JS runtime, I think that with
some effort we can probably share the static string data from scripts between
content processes, without any copying. Right now, it looks like for the main
process, there's about 1.5MB of string-ish data in the XDR dumps. It's
probably less for content processes, but if we could save .5MB per process
this way, it might make it easier to increase the number of content processes
we allow.

PseudoContext::sampleContext() is always called immediately after
profiler_get_pseudo_stack(). This patch introduces profiler_set_js_context()
and profiler_clear_js_context(), which replace the profiler_get_pseudo_stack()
+ sampleContext() pairs. This takes us a step closer to not having to export
PseudoStack outside the profiler.

The profiler can currently handle nested calls to profiler_{init,shutdown}() --
only the first call to profiler_init() and the last call to profiler_shutdown()
do anything. And sure enough, we have the following.
- Outer init/shutdown pairs in XRE_main()/XRE_InitChildProcess() (via
GeckoProfilerInitRAII).
- Inner init/shutdown pairs in NS_InitXPCOM2()/NS_InitMinimalXPCOM() (both shut
down in ShutdownXPCOM()).
This is a bit silly, so the patch removes the inner pairs, and adds a
now-needed pair in XRE_XPCShellMain. This will allow gInitCount -- which tracks
the nesting depth -- to be removed in a future patch.

This patch removes checking of all the callback calls in memory reporter
CollectReport() functions, because it's not useful.
The patch also does some associated clean-up.
- Replaces some uses of nsIMemoryReporterCallback with the preferred
nsIHandleReportCallback typedef.
- Replaces aCallback/aCb/aClosure with aHandleRepor/aData for CollectReports()
parameter names, for consistency.
- Adds MOZ_MUST_USE/[must_use] in a few places in nsIMemoryReporter.idl.
- Uses the MOZ_COLLECT_REPORT macro in all suitable places.
Overall the patch reduces code size by ~300 lines and reduces the size of
libxul by about 37 KiB on my Linux64 builds.

This patch makes the following changes on many in-class methods.
- NS_IMETHODIMP F() override; --> NS_IMETHOD F() override;
- NS_IMETHODIMP F() override {...} --> NS_IMETHOD F() override {...}
- NS_IMETHODIMP F() final; --> NS_IMETHOD F() final;
- NS_IMETHODIMP F() final {...} --> NS_IMETHOD F() final {...}
Using NS_IMETHOD is the preferred way of marking in-class virtual methods.
Although these transformations add an explicit |virtual|, they are safe --
there's an implicit |virtual| anyway because |override| and |final| only work
with virtual methods.
