The code in the softfloat source files is under a mixture of
licenses: the original code and many changes from QEMU contributors
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
top of each affected source file, including a statement about
the assumed licensing for future contributions, so we don't need
to remember to ask patch submitters explicitly to pick a license.
Backports commit 16017c48547960539fcadb1f91d252124f442482 from qemu
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.
[This is a mechanical squashing together of two separate "revert"
and "reimplement" patches.]
Backports commit 6bb8e0f130bd4aecfe835a0caa94390fa2235fde from qemu
This commit applies the changes to master which correspond to
replacing commit 158142c2c2df with a set of changes made by:
* taking the SoftFloat-2a release
* mechanically transforming the block comment style
* reapplying Fabrice's original changes from 158142c2c2df
This commit was created by:
diff -u 158142c2c2df import-sf-2a
patch -p1 --fuzz 10 <../relicense-patch.txt
(where import-sf-2a is the branch resulting from the changes above).
Backports commit a7d1ac78e0f1101df2ff84502029a4b0da6024ae from qemu
