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 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.
[This is a mechanical squashing together of two separate "revert"
and "reimplement" patches.]
Backports commit 332d5849708d11b835e0b36f4e26e8b36bfb3f5a 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).
