1294404 - Merge PerThreadDataFriendFields and ContextFriendFields

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Jan de Mooij [:jandem]]

Attachment: Patch

A lot of goodness comes from this:

* Moving the root lists and stack limits to ContextFriendFields makes accessing them more efficient (it eliminates the cx->runtime_ dereference).

* It simplifies the rooting APIs: it's now only possible to construct Rooted<> and PersistentRooted<> from the {Rooting,Exclusive,JS}Context classes. It's no longer possible to use PerThreadData or JSRuntime for this.

* It lets us remove PerThreadDataFriendFields, the js::GetRuntime friend API, etc.

bz, the changes to the dom/ code are just to get rid of the js::GetRuntime call hidden there. I replaced the JSRuntime* with a JS::RootingContext* (and a debug-only mCalledInit bit).

Yup! It should be only globals (and maybe some atoms) that get touched when we are outside JSAutoCompartment and these all very much happen on the main thread.

It worries me that we used runtimeFromAnyThread in the line above this rather than runtimeFromMainThread.

All this complexity when we could have just passed the stack limit around!
