ART: Implement a fixed size string dex cache
Previously, the string dex cache was dex_file->NumStringIds() size, and
@ruhler found that only ~1% of that cache was ever getting filled. Since
many of these string dex caches were previously 100,000+ indices in
length, we're wasting a few hundred KB per app by storing null pointers.
The intent of this project was to reduce the space the string dex cache
is using, while not regressing on time that much. This is the first of a
few CLs, which implements the new fixed size array and disables the
compiled code so it always goes slow path. In four other CLs, I
implemented a "medium path" that regresses from the previous "fast path"
only a bit in assembly in the entrypoints. @vmarko will introduce new
compiled code in the future so that we ultimately won't be regressing on
time at all. Overall, space savings have been confirmed as on the order
of 100 KB per application.
A 4-5% slow down in art-opt on Golem, and no noticeable slow down in the
interpreter. The opt slow down should be diminished once the new
compiled code is introduced.
