MIPS: IEEE 754-2008 NaN encoding support It has been a long practice for software using IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic run on MIPS processors to use an encoding of Not-a-Number (NaN) data different to one used by software run on other processors. And as of IEEE 754-2008 revision [1] this encoding does not follow one recommended in the standard, as specified in section 6.2.1, where it is stated that quiet NaNs should have the first bit (d1) of their significand set to 1 while signalling NaNs should have that bit set to 0, but MIPS software interprets the two bits in the opposite manner. As from revision 3.50 [2][3] the MIPS Architecture provides for processors that support the IEEE 754-2008 preferred NaN encoding format. As the two formats (further referred to as "legacy NaN" and "2008 NaN") are incompatible to each other, tools have to provide support for the two formats to help people avoid using incompatible binary modules. The change is comprised of two functional groups of features, both of which are required for correct support. 1. Dynamic linker support. To enforce the NaN encoding requirement in dynamic linking a new ELF file header flag has been defined. This flag is set for 2008-NaN shared modules and executables and clear for legacy-NaN ones. The dynamic linker silently ignores any incompatible modules it encounters in dependency processing. To avoid unnecessary processing of incompatible modules in the presence of a shared module cache, a set of new cache flags has been defined to mark 2008-NaN modules for the three ABIs supported. Changes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/readelflib.c have been made following an earlier code quality suggestion made here: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-03/msg00036.html and are therefore a little bit more extensive than the minimum required. Finally a new name has been defined for the dynamic linker so that 2008-NaN and legacy-NaN binaries can coexist on a single system that supports dual-mode operation and that a legacy dynamic linker that does not support verifying the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag is not chosen to interpret a 2008-NaN binary by accident. 2. Floating environment support. IEEE 754-2008 features are controlled in the Floating-Point Control and Status (FCSR) register and updates are needed to floating environment support so that the 2008-NaN flag is set correctly and the kernel default, inferred from the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag at the time an executable is loaded, respected. As the NaN encoding format is a property of GCC code generation that is both a user-selected GCC configuration default and can be overridden with GCC options, code that needs to know what NaN encoding standard it has been configured for checks for the __mips_nan2008 macro that is defined internally by GCC whenever the 2008-NaN mode has been selected. This mode is determined at the glibc configuration time and therefore a few consistency checks have been added to catch cases where compilation flags have been overridden by the user. The 2008 NaN set of features relies on kernel support as the in-kernel floating-point emulator needs to be aware of the NaN encoding used even on hard-float processors and configure the FPU context according to the value of the 2008 NaN ELF file header flag of the executable being started. As at this time work on kernel support is still in progress and the relevant changes have not made their way yet to linux.org master repository. Therefore the minimum version supported has been artificially set to 10.0.0 so that 2008-NaN code is not accidentally run on a Linux kernel that does not suppport it. It is anticipated that the version is adjusted later on to the actual initial linux.org kernel version to support this feature. Legacy NaN encoding support is unaffected, older kernel versions remain supported.

MIPS: Wire FCSR.ABS2008 to FCSR.NAN2008 Revision 3.50 of the MIPS architecture defined FCSR ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits as optionally read/write [1][2]. No hardware implementation has ever made use of this feature though. For example the first processor to implement these bits, the MIPS32r3 proAptiv core, has both bits read-only, hardwired to 1 [3]. And as from revision 5.03 of the MIPS architecture the bits are required to be read-only, preset by hardware [4][5]. Additionally all hardware implementations in existence have the bits hardwired both to the same value, either of `0' and `1'. These bits may still be read/write or hardwired to opposite values in simulated hardware implementations such as QEMU or the FPU emulator included with the Linux kernel. However to match real hardware implementations the Linux kernel will set FCSR ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits both to the same value where possible, reflecting the setting of the EF_MIPS_NAN2008 ELF file header bit. Therefore update the bit patterns in macro definitions we use for the control word, in the 2008-NaN encoding mode, so that both bits have the same value in a given bit pattern. Additionally mark the FCSR ABS2008 bit as reserved, so that high-level calls to change the control word do not affect the bit. This covers the regular FPU configurations, only leaving exotic corner cases with the value of FCSR control word initially set by the kernel different to what our code thinks it is. To address the remaining cases the AT_FPUCW auxiliary vector entry would have to be implemented in the Linux kernel, which currently is not.

MIPS: IEEE 754-2008 NaN encoding support It has been a long practice for software using IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic run on MIPS processors to use an encoding of Not-a-Number (NaN) data different to one used by software run on other processors. And as of IEEE 754-2008 revision [1] this encoding does not follow one recommended in the standard, as specified in section 6.2.1, where it is stated that quiet NaNs should have the first bit (d1) of their significand set to 1 while signalling NaNs should have that bit set to 0, but MIPS software interprets the two bits in the opposite manner. As from revision 3.50 [2][3] the MIPS Architecture provides for processors that support the IEEE 754-2008 preferred NaN encoding format. As the two formats (further referred to as "legacy NaN" and "2008 NaN") are incompatible to each other, tools have to provide support for the two formats to help people avoid using incompatible binary modules. The change is comprised of two functional groups of features, both of which are required for correct support. 1. Dynamic linker support. To enforce the NaN encoding requirement in dynamic linking a new ELF file header flag has been defined. This flag is set for 2008-NaN shared modules and executables and clear for legacy-NaN ones. The dynamic linker silently ignores any incompatible modules it encounters in dependency processing. To avoid unnecessary processing of incompatible modules in the presence of a shared module cache, a set of new cache flags has been defined to mark 2008-NaN modules for the three ABIs supported. Changes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/readelflib.c have been made following an earlier code quality suggestion made here: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-03/msg00036.html and are therefore a little bit more extensive than the minimum required. Finally a new name has been defined for the dynamic linker so that 2008-NaN and legacy-NaN binaries can coexist on a single system that supports dual-mode operation and that a legacy dynamic linker that does not support verifying the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag is not chosen to interpret a 2008-NaN binary by accident. 2. Floating environment support. IEEE 754-2008 features are controlled in the Floating-Point Control and Status (FCSR) register and updates are needed to floating environment support so that the 2008-NaN flag is set correctly and the kernel default, inferred from the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag at the time an executable is loaded, respected. As the NaN encoding format is a property of GCC code generation that is both a user-selected GCC configuration default and can be overridden with GCC options, code that needs to know what NaN encoding standard it has been configured for checks for the __mips_nan2008 macro that is defined internally by GCC whenever the 2008-NaN mode has been selected. This mode is determined at the glibc configuration time and therefore a few consistency checks have been added to catch cases where compilation flags have been overridden by the user. The 2008 NaN set of features relies on kernel support as the in-kernel floating-point emulator needs to be aware of the NaN encoding used even on hard-float processors and configure the FPU context according to the value of the 2008 NaN ELF file header flag of the executable being started. As at this time work on kernel support is still in progress and the relevant changes have not made their way yet to linux.org master repository. Therefore the minimum version supported has been artificially set to 10.0.0 so that 2008-NaN code is not accidentally run on a Linux kernel that does not suppport it. It is anticipated that the version is adjusted later on to the actual initial linux.org kernel version to support this feature. Legacy NaN encoding support is unaffected, older kernel versions remain supported.

#ifdef __mips_nan2008
MIPS: Wire FCSR.ABS2008 to FCSR.NAN2008 Revision 3.50 of the MIPS architecture defined FCSR ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits as optionally read/write [1][2]. No hardware implementation has ever made use of this feature though. For example the first processor to implement these bits, the MIPS32r3 proAptiv core, has both bits read-only, hardwired to 1 [3]. And as from revision 5.03 of the MIPS architecture the bits are required to be read-only, preset by hardware [4][5]. Additionally all hardware implementations in existence have the bits hardwired both to the same value, either of `0' and `1'. These bits may still be read/write or hardwired to opposite values in simulated hardware implementations such as QEMU or the FPU emulator included with the Linux kernel. However to match real hardware implementations the Linux kernel will set FCSR ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits both to the same value where possible, reflecting the setting of the EF_MIPS_NAN2008 ELF file header bit. Therefore update the bit patterns in macro definitions we use for the control word, in the 2008-NaN encoding mode, so that both bits have the same value in a given bit pattern. Additionally mark the FCSR ABS2008 bit as reserved, so that high-level calls to change the control word do not affect the bit. This covers the regular FPU configurations, only leaving exotic corner cases with the value of FCSR control word initially set by the kernel different to what our code thinks it is. To address the remaining cases the AT_FPUCW auxiliary vector entry would have to be implemented in the Linux kernel, which currently is not.
