timers: use V8 fast API calls #46579

src/timers.h

+  static void SetupTimers(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& args);
+
+  static void SlowGetLibuvNow(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& args);
+  static double FastGetLibuvNow(v8::Local<v8::Object> receiver);


Just noting: this pattern could likely use some documentation around it as we use it more.

Yeah I thought about it and then I see that other fast API calls are doing things...slightly differently. So we probably should unify them first, or find a best pattern first? (I am not even sure this is the best pattern but for the purpose of this binding this looks the most sensible to me).

Maybe we can add this as an example to https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/doc/contributing/adding-v8-fast-api.md?

You beat me to it! Perfect! I added the reference of the performance issue to the description.

@joyeecheung not for this PR but if you're up for a challenge: on linux you could read the timestamp directly from the vDSO through a typed array that points to it. That should be many times faster still than V8's fast API.

(It's something I've been meaning to do for ages but never got around to.)

@billywhizz maybe an interesting technique for just-js?

benjamingr

Amazing how easy it is to get consensus when we talk about this sort of thing for so long ahead of time :)

As usual great work Joyee

Just realized that SetFastMethod() sets no side effect by default, so this needs to land on top of #46619

@joyeecheung this broke the v18.x build when landing. Would you be able to open a backport PR for this? Thanks!
