According to ISO C23 (7.6.4.4), fesetexcept is supposed to set
floating-point exception flags without raising a trap (unlike
feraiseexcept, which is supposed to raise a trap if feenableexcept
was called with the appropriate argument).
The flags can be set in the 387 unit or in the SSE unit. To set
a flag, it is sufficient to do it in the SSE unit, because that is
guaranteed to not trap. However, on i386 CPUs that have only a
387 unit, set the flags in the 387, as long as this cannot trap.

This is a side-effect of how we implement the GNU extension
feenableexcept, where feenableexcept/fesetenv/fesetmode/feupdateenv
might issue prctl (PR_SET_FPEXC, PR_FP_EXC_PRECISE) depending of the
argument. And on PR_FP_EXC_PRECISE, setting a floating-point exception
flag triggers a trap.
To make the both functions follow the C23, fesetexcept and
fesetexceptflag now fail if the argument may trigger a trap.
The math tests now check for an value different than 0, instead
of bail out as unsupported for EXCEPTION_SET_FORCES_TRAP.

I used these shell commands:

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,

TS 18661-1 defines an fesetexcept function for setting floating-point
exception flags without the side-effect of causing enabled traps to be
taken.
This patch series implements this function for glibc. The present
patch adds the fallback stub implementation, x86 and x86_64
implementations, documentation, tests and ABI baseline updates. The
remaining patches, some of them untested, add implementations for
other architectures. The implementations generally follow those of
the fesetexceptflag function.
As for fesetexceptflag, the approach taken for architectures where
setting flags causes enabled traps to be taken is to set the flags
(and potentially cause traps) rather than refusing to set the flags
and returning an error. Since ISO C and TS 18661 provide no way to
enable traps, this is formally in accordance with the standards.
The NEWS entry should be considered a placeholder, since this patch
series is intended to be followed by further such series adding other
TS 18661-1 features, so that the NEWS entry would end up looking more
like
* New <fenv.h> features from TS 18661-1:2014 are added to libm: the
fesetexcept, fetestexceptflag, fegetmode and fesetmode functions,
the femode_t type and the FE_DFL_MODE macro.
with hopefully more such entries for other features, rather than
having an entry for a single function in the end.
I believe we have consensus for adding TS 18661-1 interfaces as per
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00421.html>.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (hard float, and soft float to test the
fallback version), arm (hard float) and powerpc (hard float, soft
float and e500).
