Comment #2 on issue 3168 by [email protected]: A64: mjsunit/numops-fuzz-part2 fails when checking veneers
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3168

This failure is fixed as a side effect of 54332bac7a457007e6d3dfceff90b292f952b368. Without the patch a lot of debug code is generated to check the stack consistency (csp/jssp). This causes us to hit - much earlier than expected - the situation where more code than the veneer margin is generated without checking for veneers (see last point of comments #2 amd #3 for issue 169893002).

It is good that the CHECK catches this.
I suggest we increase kVeneerDistanceMargin to 4KB until the cleaner check in CheckBuffer is implemented. This will hopefully give us more room. This should not penalize much non-TBZ branches (bigger range), and most TBZ/TBNZ branches to distant targets are likely deoptimization exits for which we don't care about the veneer performance penalty.

Does that sound ok?
