Backports commit a7c04d545a97126c9df9d96623747d8613aaf7db from qemu
fpu/softfloat-specialize.h is the most critical file in SoftFloat
library, since it handles numerous differences between platforms in
relation to floating point arithmetics. This patch makes the code
in this file more consistent format-wise, and hopefully easier to
debug and maintain.
Backports commit a59eaea64686c8966b7653303660f8c26f285c77 from qemu
This patch modifies SoftFloat library so that it can be configured in
run-time in relation to the meaning of signaling NaN bit, while, at the
same time, strictly preserving its behavior on all existing platforms.
Background:
In floating-point calculations, there is a need for denoting undefined or
unrepresentable values. This is achieved by defining certain floating-point
numerical values to be NaNs (which stands for "not a number"). For additional
reasons, virtually all modern floating-point unit implementations use two
kinds of NaNs: quiet and signaling. The binary representations of these two
kinds of NaNs, as a rule, differ only in one bit (that bit is, traditionally,
the first bit of mantissa).
Up to 2008, standards for floating-point did not specify all details about
binary representation of NaNs. More specifically, the meaning of the bit
that is used for distinguishing between signaling and quiet NaNs was not
strictly prescribed. (IEEE 754-2008 was the first floating-point standard
that defined that meaning clearly, see [1], p. 35) As a result, different
platforms took different approaches, and that presented considerable
challenge for multi-platform emulators like QEMU.
Mips platform represents the most complex case among QEMU-supported
platforms regarding signaling NaN bit. Up to the Release 6 of Mips
architecture, "1" in signaling NaN bit denoted signaling NaN, which is
opposite to IEEE 754-2008 standard. From Release 6 on, Mips architecture
adopted IEEE standard prescription, and "0" denotes signaling NaN. On top of
that, Mips architecture for SIMD (also known as MSA, or vector instructions)
also specifies signaling bit in accordance to IEEE standard. MSA unit can be
implemented with both pre-Release 6 and Release 6 main processor units.
QEMU uses SoftFloat library to implement various floating-point-related
instructions on all platforms. The current QEMU implementation allows for
defining meaning of signaling NaN bit during build time, and is implemented
via preprocessor macro called SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE.
On the other hand, the change in this patch enables SoftFloat library to be
configured in run-time. This configuration is meant to occur during CPU
initialization, at the moment when it is definitely known what desired
behavior for particular CPU (or any additional FPUs) is.
The change is implemented so that it is consistent with existing
implementation of similar cases. This means that structure float_status is
used for passing the information about desired signaling NaN bit on each
invocation of SoftFloat functions. The additional field in float_status is
called snan_bit_is_one, which supersedes macro SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE.
IMPORTANT:
This change is not meant to create any change in emulator behavior or
functionality on any platform. It just provides the means for SoftFloat
library to be used in a more flexible way - in other words, it will just
prepare SoftFloat library for usage related to Mips platform and its
specifics regarding signaling bit meaning, which is done in some of
subsequent patches from this series.
Further break down of changes:
1) Added field snan_bit_is_one to the structure float_status, and
correspondent setter function set_snan_bit_is_one().
2) Constants <float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>_default_nan
(used both internally and externally) converted to functions
<float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>_default_nan(float_status*).
This is necessary since they are dependent on signaling bit meaning.
At the same time, for the sake of code cleanup and simplicity, constants
<floatx80|float128>_default_nan_<low|high> (used only internally within
SoftFloat library) are removed, as not needed.
3) Added a float_status* argument to SoftFloat library functions
XXX_is_quiet_nan(XXX a_), XXX_is_signaling_nan(XXX a_),
XXX_maybe_silence_nan(XXX a_). This argument must be present in
order to enable correct invocation of new version of functions
XXX_default_nan(). (XXX is <float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>
here)
4) Updated code for all platforms to reflect changes in SoftFloat library.
This change is twofolds: it includes modifications of SoftFloat library
functions invocations, and an addition of invocation of function
set_snan_bit_is_one() during CPU initialization, with arguments that
are appropriate for each particular platform. It was established that
all platforms zero their main CPU data structures, so snan_bit_is_one(0)
in appropriate places is not added, as it is not needed.

Backports commit af39bc8c49224771ec0d38f1b693ea78e221d7bc from qemu
Use the plain 'int' type rather than 'int_fast16_t' for handling
exponents. Exponents don't need to be exactly 16 bits, so using int16_t
for them would confuse more than it clarified.
This should be a safe change because int_fast16_t semantics
permit use of 'int' (and on 32-bit glibc that is what you get).
Backports commit 0c48262d4772d40677364199372fb6ffcf487558 from qemu
Use the plain 'int' type rather than 'int_fast16_t' for shift counts
in the various shift related functions, since we don't actually care
about the size of the integer at all here, and using int16_t would
be confusing.
This should be a safe change because int_fast16_t semantics
permit use of 'int' (and on 32-bit glibc that is what you get).
Backports commit 07d792d2b08669bf6a97cbf590496078c4621068 from qemu
Make the functions which convert floating point to 16 bit integer
return int16_t rather than int_fast16_t, and correspondingly use
int_fast16_t in their internal implementations where appropriate.
(These functions are used only by the ARM target.)

are under the base SoftFloat-2a license; changes from Stefan Weil
and RedHat employees are GPLv2-or-later; changes from Fabrice Bellard
are under the BSD license. Clarify this in the comments at the

Backports commit 16017c48547960539fcadb1f91d252124f442482 from qemu
Revert the parts of commits b645bb4885 and 5a6932d51d which are still
in the codebase and under a SoftFloat-2b license.
Reimplement support for architectures where the most significant bit
in the mantissa is 1 for a signaling NaN rather than a quiet NaN,
by adding handling for SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE being set to the functions
which test values for NaN-ness.
This includes restoring the bugfixes lost in the reversion where
some of the float*_is_quiet_nan() functions were returning true
for both signaling and quiet NaNs.

and "reimplement" patches.]

Revert the remaining portions of commits 75d62a5856 and 3430b0be36f
which are under a SoftFloat-2b license, ie the functions
uint64_to_float32() and uint64_to_float64(). (The float64_to_uint64()
and float64_to_uint64_round_to_zero() functions were completely
rewritten in commits fb3ea83aa and 0a87a3107d so can stay.)
Reimplement from scratch the uint64_to_float64() and uint64_to_float32()
conversion functions.
