Summary:
We have a lot of small-ish calls to JSC and within the bridge that add up during TTI. This gives us a way to measure them in aggregate in a reasonable way.
From the comments:
MicroProfiler is a performance profiler for measuring the cumulative impact of
a large number of small-ish calls. This is normally a problem for standard profilers
like Systrace because the overhead of the profiler itself skews the timings you
are able to collect. This is especially a problem when doing nested calls to
profiled functions, as the parent calls will contain the overhead of their profiling
plus the overhead of all their childrens' profiling.
MicroProfiler attempts to be low overhead by 1) aggregating timings in memory and
2) trying to remove estimated profiling overhead from the returned timings.
To remove estimated overhead, at the beginning of each trace we calculate the
average cost of profiling a no-op code section, as well as invoking the average
cost of invoking the system clock. The former is subtracted out for each child
profiler section that is invoked within a parent profiler section. The latter is
subtracted from each section, child or not.
The usage is similar to Systrace: you put a MICRO_PROFILER_BLOCK in the block you want to profile and C++ RAII will handle timing it.
After MicroProfiler::stopProfiling() is called, a table of tracing data is emitted
to glog (which shows up in logcat on Android).

Summary: Add a new interface to JSC that allows loading a file lazily from disk, i.e. using mmap, instead of loading the whole file upfront and copying into the VM.

Summary:
Adds:
- callAsConstructor
- Ability to provide `this` object to callAsFunction
- getPropertyNames() now returns Strings (which can be converted by the caller to std::string if they want).
Fixes:
- double free issue with the String move constructor
