tcg: optimise memory layout of TCGTemp
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This brings down the size of the struct from 56 to 32 bytes on 64-bit,
and to 20 bytes on 32-bit. This leads to memory savings:

Before:
$ find . -name 'tcg.o' | xargs size
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  41131   29800      88   71019   1156b ./aarch64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
  37969   29416      96   67481   10799 ./x86_64-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
  39354   28816      96   68266   10aaa ./arm-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
  40802   29096      88   69986   11162 ./arm-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
  39417   29672      88   69177   10e39 ./x86_64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o

After:
$ find . -name 'tcg.o' | xargs size
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  40883   29800      88   70771   11473 ./aarch64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
  37473   29416      96   66985   105a9 ./x86_64-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
  38858   28816      96   67770   108ba ./arm-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
  40554   29096      88   69738   1106a ./arm-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
  39169   29672      88   68929   10d41 ./x86_64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o

Note that using an entire byte for some enums that need less than
that wastes a few bits (noticeable in 32 bits, where we use
20 bytes instead of 16) but avoids extraction code, which overall
is a win--I've tested several variations of the patch, and the appended
is the best performer for OpenSSL's bntest by a very small margin:
