[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/6] target-mips: Initiate IEEE 754-2008 support

[Aleksandar Markovic]

From: Aleksandar Markovic <address@hidden>

v3 - Patch series reorganized into 6 patches instead of 2.
   - Commit messages improved.
   - Except commit messages, net result of applying v3 and v2 is the same.

v2 - Relevant CPU initialization code changes revisited for all platforms.
   - In connection with <CEIL|CVT|FLOOR|ROUND|TRUNC>.<L|W>.<S|D> and
     <ABS|NEG>.<S|D> Mips instructions handling, decision on whether
     pre-nan2008/pre-abs2008 or nan2008/abs2008 handling will apply
     moved from run-time to translate-time.
   - For Mips only, in nan2008 cases only, default NaN values fixed.
   - For Mips only, in nan2008 cases only, order in pickNaNMulAdd() fixed.
   - Code cleanup issues:
       a. Constants <floatx80|float128>_default_nan_<low|high> removed;
       b. Suffix <l|w>_<s|d> replaced with _<l|w>_<s|d> for some Mips helpers;
       c. In vicinity of changes, fixed not-beautiful code formatting.
   - Commit messages improved.

V1 - Initial version
(link: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg06082.html)

Mips platform represents the most complex case among QEMU-supported
platforms in reference to certain aspects of floating-point arithmetics.
This is mostly a consequence of the fact that Mips platform, for many
reasons, evolved considerably over time related to floating-point
arithmetics standards (significantly more than other platforms).
It has been difficult for emulators like QEMU to support such variety
of configurations.

This patch series provides number of IEEE 754-2008-related features to
Mips platform. It addresses the most sensitive changes that require
modification of SoftFloat library, that is used by most other platforms.

In order to make develpoment, testing, and integration easier, the patch
is split into two distinct parts:

   1. Part 1 (patches 1/6, 2/6, 3/6) that does not change any calculation
      or behavior on any platform (and, for that matter, even on Mips
      platform). Its sole purpose is to address platform independant
      issues in a non-invasive manner, and to make Part 2 possible.

   2. Part 2 (patches 4/6, 5/6, 6/6) that sets some Mips architecures to
      use provisions from Part 1, and additionally implements some of
      IEEE 754-2008-relates features for Mips, but, at the same time,
      dealing with files located in directory target-mips only.

A limitation of this patch series is that it does not cover all IEEE 754-2008
Mips issues (for example, handling FCR31's FS bit, handling R3 architectures,
some gdb issues, ELF header nan2008-related changes). However, hopefully all
remaining such issues will touch only Mips-specific source code files, and
thus will be much easier to integrate in QEMU, and, of course, will not be
disruptive to orher platforms.

This patch series is based on the original set of patches proposed by Maciej W.
