Inline the lookup whether a function is observed at all.
This strategy is also used for FRAMELESS calls. If the frameless call is observed, we instead allocate a call frame and push the arguments, to call the the function afterwards.
Doing so is still a performance benefit as opposed to executing individual INIT_FCALL+SEND_VAL ops. Thus, even if the frameless call turns out to be observed, the call overhead is slightly lower than before.
If the internal function is not observed at all, the unavoidable overhead is fetching the FLF zend_function pointer and the run-time cache needs to be inspected.
As part of this work, it turned out to be most viable to put the result operand on the ZEND_OP_DATA instead of ZEND_FRAMELESS_ICALL_3, allowing seamless interoperability with the DO_ICALL opcode.
This is a bit unusual in comparison to all other ZEND_OP_DATA usages, but seems to not pose problems overall.
There is also a small issue resolved: trampolines would always use the ZEND_CALL_TRAMPOLINE_SPEC_OBSERVER function due to zend_observer_fcall_op_array_extension being set to -1 too late.
This merges all usages of emitting an offset TypeError into a new ZEND_API function
zend_illegal_container_offset(const zend_string* container, const zval *offset, int type);
Where the container should represent the type on which the access is attempted (e.g. string, array)
The offset zval that is used, where the error message will display its type
The type of access, which should be a BP_VAR_* constant, to get special message for isset/empty/unset
Struct members require some alignment based on their type. This means
that if a struct member is not aligned, there will be a hole created by
the compiler in the struct, which is wasted space. This patch reorders
some of the most commonly used structs, but in such a way that the
fields which were in the same cache line still belong together.
The only exception to this is exception_ignore_args, which was
temporally not close to nearby members, and as such I placed
it further up to close a hole.
On 64-bit Linux this gives us the following shrinks:
* zend_op_array: 248 -> 240
* zend_ssa_var: 56 -> 48
* zend_ssa_var_info: 48 -> 40
* php_core_globals: 672 -> 608
* zend_executor_globals: 1824 -> 1792
On 32-bit, the sizes will either remain the same or will result in
smaller shrinks.
* Remove always-false check in zend_lookup_class_ex()
This check is always false because of the undefined behaviour rule that
says a NULL pointer must never be dereferenced: we already dereference name
when checking the cache slot, before the NULL check. So the NULL may be
optimised away by the compiler. It looks like the code isn't even
supposed to work with name being NULL, so just remove the check.
* Remove always-true check in zend_fetch_static_property_address_ex()
* Simplify always-true conditions
`zend_uchar` suggests that the value is an ASCII character, but here,
it's about very small integers. This is misleading, so let's use a
C99 integer instead.
On all architectures currently supported by PHP, `zend_uchar` and
`uint8_t` are identical. This change is only about code readability.
