To make the showPaintRects checkbox in the Web Inspector's settings activate the paint rects in the HUDLayer, I implemented a similar plumbing than the one that was used for showFPSCounter.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorPageAgent.cpp:902
> +    if (!m_enabled || !m_state->getBoolean(PageAgentState::showPaintRects) || m_client->canShowPaintRects())

This extra check disables the painting of the paint rects into the InspectorOverlay.

> Source/WebKit/chromium/src/WebViewImpl.cpp:838
> +        return page()->settings()->forceCompositingMode();

This time a good check if the HUDLayer can draw the paint rects is necessary, because the fallback to the software paint rects needs to work. This check is the best I found so far, but it's value can change when page switches happen. This causes the paint rects then to switch between software and GPU rendering.

Looks good overall, couple of naming nits and it can land.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorClient.h:75
> +    virtual bool canShowPaintRects() { return false; }

So its semantics is a bit different: it tells you whether embedder should handle paint rects. I'd name it overridesShowPaintRects().

> Source/WebKit/chromium/public/WebView.h:474
> +    virtual bool canShowHUDLayer() = 0;

Should this be called isAcceleratedCompositingActive ? Just to make things more clear.
