[PATCH 0/6] hw,ui: Reduce QEMU .rodata/.bss footprint

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

This series reduce the footprint of the QEMU binary:
.bss: 106KiB (moved to .heap)
.rodata: 4.34MiB
(sizes on x86_64 building with -Os)

The elf-dissector tool [1] [2] helped to notice the big array.

[PATCH 2/6] hw/audio/fmopl: Move ENV_CURVE to .heap to save 32KiB of .bss

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

This buffer is only used by the adlib audio device. Move it to
the .heap to release 32KiB of .bss (size reported on x86_64 host).

[PATCH 3/6] hw/usb/quirks: Use smaller types to reduce .rodata by 10KiB

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

The USB descriptor sizes are specified as 16-bit for idVendor /
idProduct, and 8-bit for bInterfaceClass / bInterfaceSubClass /
bInterfaceProtocol. Doing so we reduce the usbredir_raw_serial_ids[]
and usbredir_ftdi_serial_ids[] arrays from 16KiB to 6KiB (size
reported on x86_64 host, building with --extra-cflags=-Os).

[PATCH 4/6] hw/audio/intel-hda: Use memory region alias to reduce .rodata by 4.34MB

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

The intel-hda model uses an array of register indexed by the
register address. This array also contains a pair of aliased
registers at offset 0x2000. This creates a huge hole in the
array, which ends up eating 4.6MiB of .rodata (size reported
on x86_64 host, building with --extra-cflags=-Os).

By using a memory region alias, we reduce this array to 132kB.

Before:

  (qemu) info mtree
    00000000febd4000-00000000febd7fff (prio 1, i/o): intel-hda

After:

  (qemu) info mtree
    00000000febd4000-00000000febd7fff (prio 1, i/o): intel-hda
    00000000febd4000-00000000febd7fff (prio 1, i/o): intel-hda-container

Yep, "-1" is used as "not used" or "end-of-list" indicator, and it is
outside the valid range to avoid that kind of clashes.  You need some
other way to express that if you want go with smaller types which don't
allow values outside the valid range any more.  Add a "flags" field for
that maybe?

Oh I wasn't expecting 0xffff valid for idVendor /
idProduct, neither 0xff for bInterfaceClass / bInterfaceSubClass /
bInterfaceProtocol. Well maybe it doesn't worth the churn for 10KB of 
.rodata.
