[Qemu-devel] [PULL] tcg: optimise memory layout of TCGTemp

[Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>]

From: "Emilio G. Cota" <cota@braap.org>

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:
