The implementation is based on a cache (datastore) living in the parent process and sync IPC calls initiated from content processes.
IPC communication is done using per principal/origin database actors which connect to the datastore.
The synchronous blocking of the main thread is done by creating a nested event target and spinning the event loop.
LocalStorage needs to be exposed in every context except for sandboxes and
NullPrincipals (data: URLs, for instance). But we need to keep data
separate in some scenarios: private-browsing and trackers.
In private-browsing, LocalStorage keeps data in memory, and it shares
StorageEvents just with other origins in the same private-browsing
environment.
For Trackers, we expose a partitioned LocalStorage, which doesn't share
data with other contexts, and it's just in memory. Partitioned localStorage
is available only for trackers listed in the
privacy.restrict3rdpartystorage.partitionedHosts pref. See
nsContentUtils::IsURIInPrefList to know the syntax for the pref value.
Most of the times when we automatically create nsThread wrappers for threads
that don't already have them, we don't actually need the event targets, since
those threads don't run XPCOM event loops. Aside from wasting memory, actually
creating these event loops can lead to leaks if a thread tries to dispatch a
runnable to the queue which creates a reference cycle with the thread.
Not creating the event queues for threads that don't actually need them helps
avoid those foot guns, and also makes it easier to figure out which treads
actually run XPCOM event loops.

Everything that goes in a PLDHashtable (and its derivatives, like
nsTHashtable) needs to inherit from PLDHashEntryHdr. But through a lack
of enforcement, copy constructors for these derived classes didn't
explicitly invoke the copy constructor for PLDHashEntryHdr (and the
compiler didn't invoke the copy constructor for us). Instead,
PLDHashTable explicitly copied around the bits that the copy constructor
would have.
The current setup has two problems:
1) Derived classes should be using move construction, not copy
construction, since anything that's shuffling hash table keys/entries
around will be using move construction.
2) Derived classes should take responsibility for transferring bits of
superclass state around, and not rely on something else to handle that.
The second point is not a huge problem for PLDHashTable (PLDHashTable
only has to copy PLDHashEntryHdr's bits in a single place), but future
hash table implementations that might move entries around more
aggressively would have to insert compensation code all over the
place. Additionally, if moving entries is implemented via memcpy (which
is quite common), PLDHashTable copying around bits *again* is
inefficient.
Let's fix all these problems in one go, by:
1) Explicitly declaring the set of constructors that PLDHashEntryHdr
implements (and does not implement). In particular, the copy
constructor is deleted, so any derived classes that attempt to make
themselves copyable will be detected at compile time: the compiler
will complain that the superclass type is not copyable.
This change on its own will result in many compiler errors, so...
2) Change any derived classes to implement move constructors instead of
copy constructors. Note that some of these move constructors are,
strictly speaking, unnecessary, since the relevant classes are moved
via memcpy in nsTHashtable and its derivatives.
This switches over the few remaining usages of the deprecated
BeginWriting/EndWriting(iterator&) functions to the more standard
BeginWriting/EndWriting() functions.

nsPrintfCString creates a formatted string, but doesn't print it.
ExtractOriginData is called for its constructor's scope and origin out parameters. This ExtractOriginData object doesn't really need a name because it is unused after we have scope and origin, but this change makes clang-tidy happy and makes the code clear that ExtractOriginData is an object and not a funcion being called.

This patch adds a new IPDL protocol PBackgroundLocalStorageCache. It is used by LocalStorageCache object to broadcast changes in local storage cache to other content processes. Each origin has its own PBackgroundLocalStorageCache, so now we can notify content processes that actually have a local storage cache for given origin. This greatly improves performance and reduces memory footprint especialy when local storage changes carry big strings and/or happen very quickly (before this patch all child processes were blindly notified).
This was used to label IndexedDB work and work in storage/mozStorage*.
I don't think this deserves its own category; categories are most useful for
the main thread, and most of the time-consuming database-related work happens
on helper threads. The main thread pieces are mostly for asynchronicity-
coordination and don't usually take up time.
This patch labels IndexedDB work as DOM instead (which is maybe debatable) and
the rest as OTHER.

Currently the Gecko Profiler defines a moderate amount of stuff when
MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER is undefined. It also #includes various headers, including
JS ones. This is making it difficult to separate Gecko's media stack for
inclusion in Servo.
This patch greatly simplifies how things are exposed. The starting point is:
- GeckoProfiler.h can be #included unconditionally;
- everything else from the profiler must be guarded by MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER.
In practice this introduces way too many #ifdefs, so the patch loosens it by
adding no-op macros for a number of the most common operations.
The net result is that #ifdefs and macros are used a bit more, but almost
nothing is exposed in non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds (including
ProfilerMarkerPayload.h and GeckoProfiler.h), and understanding what is exposed
is much simpler than before.
Note also that in BHR, ThreadStackHelper is now entirely absent in
non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds.
The NS_LITERAL_CSTRING macro creates a temporary nsLiteralCString to encapsulate the string literal and its length, but AssignLiteral() can determine the string literal's length at compile-time without nsLiteralCString.

XPCOM's string API doesn't have the notion of a "null string". But it does have
the notion of a "void string" (or "voided string"), and that's what these
functions are returning. So the names should reflect that.

When a storage child actor gets the xpcom-shutdown notification, it releases
the actor singleton which asynchronously sends __delete__ to the parent and
destroys the child actor immediatelly. However, at the same time parent can be
sending a message to the child which results in a routing error since the child
actor doesn't exist anymore. The routing error causes a crash.
This patch prevents the race by doing the teardown in two steps. We send a
message to the parent DeleteMe and parent then sends __delete__ to the child.
- stop inheriting StorageDBBridge in StorageDBThread and StorageDBChild
- move StorageDBThread and StorageDBChild initialization out of LocalStorageCache
- use IPC even for the intra-process communication in main process
- rationalize a bit storage observer code
- make StorageDBParent to always be created and destroyed on the background thread
This parameter isn't used by any implementation of onDispatchedEvent,
and keeping the parameter makes later refactorings in this bug more difficult.

This patch makes the following changes to the macros.
- Removes PROFILER_LABEL_FUNC. It's only suitable for use in functions outside
classes, due to PROFILER_FUNCTION_NAME not getting class names, and it was
mostly misused.
- Removes PROFILER_FUNCTION_NAME. It's no longer used, and __func__ is
universally available now anyway.
- Combines the first two string literal arguments of PROFILER_LABEL and
PROFILER_LABEL_DYNAMIC into a single argument. There was no good reason for
them to be separate, and it forced a '::' in the label, which isn't always
appropriate. Also, the meaning of the "name_space" argument was interpreted
in an interesting variety of ways.
- Adds an "AUTO_" prefix to PROFILER_LABEL and PROFILER_LABEL_DYNAMIC, to make
it clearer they construct RAII objects rather than just being function calls.
(I myself have screwed up the scoping because of this in the past.)
- Fills in the 'js::ProfileEntry::Category::' qualifier within the macro, so
the caller doesn't need to. This makes a *lot* more of the uses fit onto a
single line.
The patch also makes the following changes to the macro uses (beyond those
required by the changes described above).
- Fixes a bunch of labels that had gotten out of sync with the name of the
class and/or function that encloses them.
- Removes a useless PROFILER_LABEL use within a trivial scope in
EventStateManager::DispatchMouseOrPointerEvent(). It clearly wasn't serving
any useful purpose. It also serves as extra evidence that the AUTO_ prefix is
a good idea.
- Tweaks DecodePool::SyncRunIf{Preferred,Possible} so that the labelling is
done within them, instead of at their callsites, because that's a more
standard way of doing things.
