[PATCH] target/mips: Fix msaregnames and mxuregnames off-by-one
Posted by Anton Johansson via 4 months, 4 weeks ago 
The msaregnames and mxuregnames arrays contains strings of 7 bytes
("w10.d0", ...) and 5 bytes ("XR10", ...) in length including the
NULL byte.

Maybe not quite so silly question. Why are we setting 2D dimensions on
the regnames anyway? Shouldn't we just use static const char * and be
done with it?

AFAICT all the references only care about the number anyway.

Previously a 1D array of pointers was used, here's the original patch
introducing the 2D array

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-06/msg04706.html

It's an optimization to reduce memory usage and runtime relocations.

Assuming a 64-bit linux system we can estimate the memory required for
using 1D arrays for msaregnames and mxuregnames to

    64*(8 + 24) + 16*(8 + 24) = 2560 bytes

with 8 byte pointers and 24 byte relocation table entries, the above
does not include the memory for the actual strings. And with the 1D
change we get

    64*7 + 16*5 = 528 bytes

Though I can't speak to the impact on runtime performance.
