GCC 13 adds support for _FloatN and _FloatNx types in C++, so breaking
the installed glibc headers that assume such support is not present.
GCC mostly works around this with fixincludes, but that doesn't help
for building glibc and its tests (glibc doesn't itself contain C++
code, but there's C++ code built for tests). Update glibc's
bits/floatn-common.h and bits/floatn.h headers to handle the GCC 13
support directly.
In general the changes match those made by fixincludes, though I think
the ones in sysdeps/powerpc/bits/floatn.h, where the header tests
__LDBL_MANT_DIG__ == 113 or uses #elif, wouldn't match the existing
fixincludes patterns.
Some places involving special C++ handling in relation to _FloatN
support are not changed. There's no need to change the
__HAVE_FLOATN_NOT_TYPEDEF definition (also in a form that wouldn't be
matched by the fixincludes fixes) because it's only used in relation
to macro definitions using features not supported for C++
(__builtin_types_compatible_p and _Generic). And there's no need to
change the inline function overloads for issignaling, iszero and
iscanonical in C++ because cases where types have the same format but
are no longer compatible types are handled automatically by the C++
overload resolution rules.
This patch also does not change the overload handling for iseqsig, and
there I think changes *are* needed, beyond those in this patch or made
by fixincludes. The way that overload is defined, via a template
parameter to a structure type, requires overloads whenever the types
are incompatible, even if they have the same format. So I think we
need to add overloads with GCC 13 for every supported _FloatN and
_FloatNx type, rather than just having one for _Float128 when it has a
different ABI to long double as at present (but for older GCC, such
overloads must not be defined for types that end up defined as
typedefs for another type).

In commit aa706e13f4,
sysdeps/mips/ieee754/ieee754.h was changed to use GCC’s predefined
macro __LDBL_MANT_DIG__, instead of including <float.h> and using
LDBL_MANT_DIG (and therefore polluting the user namespace with all of
the macros defined in float.h). In order to support compilers that
don’t provide __LDBL_MANT_DIG__, there is a fallback #if block which
was supposed to include <float.h> and then define __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ to
LDBL_MANT_DIG. However, at some point during the development of the
patch, a typo was introduced, causing the fallback block to define
__LDBL_MANT_DIG__ to expand to __LDBL_MANT_DIG__.
Correct this typo.
On platforms where long double has IEEE binary128 format as a third
option (initially, only powerpc64le), many exported functions are
redirected to their __*ieee128 equivalents. This redirection is
provided by installed headers such as stdio-ldbl.h, and is supposed to
work correctly with user code.
However, during the build of glibc, similar redirections are employed,
in internal headers, such as include/stdio.h, in order to avoid extra
PLT entries. These redirections conflict with the redirections to
__*ieee128, and must be avoided during the build. This patch protects
the second redirections with a test for __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128, a
new macro that is defined to 1 when functions that deal with long double
typed values reuses the _Float128 implementation (this is currently only
true for powerpc64le).
Tested for powerpc64le, x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

With only two exceptions (sys/types.h and sys/param.h, both of which
historically might have defined BYTE_ORDER) the public headers that
include <endian.h> only want to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER against
__*_ENDIAN.
This patch creates a new bits/endian.h that can be included by any
header that wants to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER and/or
__FLOAT_WORD_ORDER against the __*_ENDIAN constants, or needs
__LONG_LONG_PAIR. It only defines macros in the implementation
namespace.
The existing bits/endian.h (which could not be included independently
of endian.h, and only defines __BYTE_ORDER and maybe __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)
is renamed to bits/endianness.h. I also took the opportunity to
canonicalize the form of this header, which we are stuck with having
one copy of per architecture. Since they are so short, this means git
doesn’t understand that they were renamed from existing headers, sigh.
endian.h itself is a nonstandard header and its only remaining use
from a standard header is guarded by __USE_MISC, so I dropped the
__USE_MISC conditionals from around all of the public-namespace things
it defines. (This means, an application that requests strict library
conformance but includes endian.h will still see the definition of
BYTE_ORDER.)
A few changes to specific bits/endian(ness).h variants deserve
mention:
- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/bits/endian.h is moved to
sysdeps/ia64/bits/endianness.h. If I remember correctly, ia64 did
have selectable endianness, but we have assembly code in
sysdeps/ia64 that assumes it’s little-endian, so there is no reason
to treat the ia64 endianness.h as linux-specific.
- The C-SKY port does not fully support big-endian mode, the compile
will error out if __CSKYBE__ is defined.
- The PowerPC port had extra logic in its bits/endian.h to detect a
broken compiler, which strikes me as unnecessary, so I removed it.
- The only files that defined __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER always defined it to
the same value as __BYTE_ORDER, so I removed those definitions.
The SH bits/endian(ness).h had comments inconsistent with the
actual setting of __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER, which I also removed.
- I *removed* copyright boilerplate from the few bits/endian(ness).h
headers that had it; these files record a single fact in a fashion
dictated by an external spec, so I do not think they are copyrightable.
As long as I was changing every copy of ieee754.h in the tree, I
noticed that only the MIPS variant includes float.h, because it uses
LDBL_MANT_DIG to decide among three different versions of
ieee854_long_double. This patch makes it not include float.h when
GCC’s intrinsic __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ is available.

The default sysdeps/ieee754 fma implementations rely on exceptions and
rounding modes to achieve correct results through internal use of
round-to-odd. Thus, glibc configurations without support for
exceptions and rounding modes instead need to use implementations of
fma based on soft-fp.
At present, this is achieved via having implementation files in
soft-fp/ that are #included by sysdeps files for each glibc
configuration that needs them. In general this means such a
configuration has its own s_fma.c and s_fmaf.c.
TS 18661-1 adds functions that do an operation (+ - * / sqrt fma) on
arguments wider than the return type, with a single rounding of the
infinite-precision result to that return type. These are also
naturally implemented using round-to-odd on platforms with hardware
support for rounding modes and exceptions but lacking hardware support
for these narrowing operations themselves. (Platforms that have
direct hardware support for such narrowing operations include at least
ia64, and Power ISA 2.07 or later, which I think means POWER8 or
later.)
So adding the remaining TS 18661-1 functions would mean at least six
narrowing function implementations (fadd fsub fmul fdiv ffma fsqrt),
with aliases for other types and further implementations in some
configurations, that need to be overridden for configurations lacking
hardware exceptions and rounding modes. Requiring all such
configurations (currently seven of them) to have their own source
files for all those functions seems undesirable.
Thus, this patch adds a directory sysdeps/ieee754/soft-fp to contain
libm function implementations based on soft-fp. This directory is
then used via Implies from all the configurations that need it, so no
more files need adding to every such configuration when adding more
functions with soft-fp implementations. A configuration can still
selectively #include a particular file from this directory if desired;
thus, the MIPS #include of the fmal implementation is retained, since
that's appropriate even for hard float (because long double is always
implementated in software for MIPS64, so the soft-fp implementation of
fmal is better than the ldbl-128 one).
This also provides additional motivation for my recent patch removing
--with-fp / --without-fp: previously there was no need for correct use
of --without-fp for no-FPU ARM or SH3, and now we have autodetection
nofpu/ sysdeps directories can be used by this patch for those
configurations without imposing any new requirements on how glibc is
configured.
(The mips64/*/fpu/s_fma.c files added by this patch are needed to keep
the dbl-64 version of fma for double, rather than the ldbl-128 one,
used in that case.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by this patch.

This patch continues filling out TS 18661-3 support by adding *f64x
function aliases on platforms with _Float64x support. (It so happens
the set of such platforms is exactly the same as the set of platforms
with _Float128 support, although on x86_64, x86 and ia32 the _Float64x
format is Intel extended rather than binary128.) The API provided
corresponds exactly to that provided for _Float128, mostly coming from
TS 18661-3. As these functions always alias those for another type
(long double, _Float128 or both), __* function names are not provided,
as in other cases of alias types.
Given the preparation done in previous patches, this one just enables
the feature via Makeconfig and bits/floatn.h, adds symbol versions,
and updates documentation and ABI baselines. The symbol versions are
present unconditionally as GLIBC_2.27 in the relevant Versions files,
as it's OK for those to specify versions for functions that may not be
present in some configurations; no additional complexity is needed
unless in future some configuration gains support for this type that
didn't have such support in 2.27. The Makeconfig additions for ia64
and x86 aren't strictly needed, as those configurations also get
float64x-alias-fcts definitions from
sysdeps/ieee754/float128/Makeconfig, but still seem appropriate given
that _Float64x is not _Float128 for those configurations.
A libm-test-ulps update for x86 is included. This is because
bits/mathinline.h does not have _Float64x support added and for two
functions the use of out-of-line functions results in increased ulps
(ifloat64x shares ulps with ildouble / ifloat128 as appropriate).
Given that we'd like generally to eliminate bits/mathinline.h
optimizations, preferring to have such optimizations in GCC instead,
it seems reasonable not to add such support there for new types. GCC
support for _FloatN / _FloatNx built-in functions is limited, but has
been improved in GCC 8, and at some point I hope the full set of libm
built-in functions in GCC, and other optimizations with
per-floating-type aspects, will be enabled for all _FloatN / _FloatNx
types.
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py, with both
GCC 6 and GCC 7.

Further _FloatN / _FloatNx type alias support will involve making
architecture-specific .S files use the common macros for libm function
aliases. Making them use those macros will also serve to simplify
existing code for aliases / symbol versions in various cases, similar
to such simplifications for ldbl-opt code.
The libm-alias-*.h files sometimes need to include <bits/floatn.h> to
determine which aliases they should define. At present, this does not
work for inclusion from .S files because <bits/floatn.h> can define
typedefs for old compilers. This patch changes all the
<bits/floatn.h> and <bits/floatn-common.h> headers to include
__ASSEMBLER__ conditionals. Those conditionals disable everything
related to C syntax in the __ASSEMBLER__ case, not just the problem
typedefs, as that seemed cleanest. The __HAVE_* definitions remain in
the __ASSEMBLER__ case, as those provide information that is required
to define the correct set of aliases.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for a representative set of
configurations (x86_64-linux-gnu i686-linux-gnu ia64-linux-gnu
powerpc64le-linux-gnu mips64-linux-gnu-n64 sparc64-linux-gnu) with GCC
6. Also tested with GCC 6 for i686-linux-gnu in conjunction with
changes to use alias macros in .S files.

The bits/floatn.h header currently only has defines relating to
_Float128. This patch adds defines relating to other _FloatN /
_FloatNx types.
The approach taken is to add defines for all _FloatN / _FloatNx types
known to GCC, and to put them in a common bits/floatn-common.h header
included at the end of all the individual bits/floatn.h headers. If
in future some defines become different for different glibc
configurations, they will move out into the separate bits/floatn.h
headers.
Some defines are expected always to be the same across glibc ports.
Corresponding defines are nevertheless put in this header. The intent
is that where there are conditionals (in headers or in non-installed
files) that can just repeat the same or nearly the same logic for each
floating-point type, they should do so, even if in fact the cases for
some types could be unconditionally present or absent because the same
conditionals are true or false for all glibc configurations. This
should make the glibc code with such conditionals easier to read,
because the reader can just see that the same conditionals are
repeated for each type, rather than seeing different conditionals for
different types and needing to reason, at each location with such
differences, why those differences are indeed correct there. (Cases
involving per-format rather than per-type logic are more likely still
to need differences in how they handle different types.)
Having such defines and conditionals also helps in incremental
preparation for adding _Float32 / _Float64 / _Float32x / _Float64x
function aliases. I intend subsequent patches to add such
conditionals corresponding to those already present for _Float128, as
well as making more architecture-specific function implementations use
common macros to define aliases in preparation for adding such _FloatN
/ _FloatNx aliases.

This patch adds a MIPS-specific bits/floatn.h header. This header is
identical to the ldbl-128 version except for the comment at the top;
the purpose is to ensure that a 32-bit MIPS build installs a header
that is the same as in a 64-bit MIPS build and so properly shows
_Float128 support to be available for 64-bit compilations, on the
general principle of an installation for one multilib providing
headers also suitable for other multilibs.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
* sysdeps/mips/ieee754/bits/floatn.h: New file.
Similar to bug 21987 for SPARC, MIPS64 wrongly installs the ldbl-128
version of bits/long-double.h, meaning incorrect results when using
headers installed from a 64-bit installation for a 32-bit build. (I
haven't actually seen this cause build failures before its interaction
with bits/floatn.h did so - installed headers wrongly expecting
_Float128 to be available in a 32-bit configuration.)
This patch fixes the bug by moving the MIPS header to
sysdeps/mips/ieee754, which comes before sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128 in
the sysdeps directory ordering. (bits/floatn.h will need a similar
fix - duplicating the ldbl-128 version for MIPS will suffice - for
headers from a 32-bit installation to be correct for 64-bit builds.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (compilers build for
mips64-linux-gnu, where there was previously a libstdc++ build failure
as at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2017-q4/msg00130.html>).
[BZ #22322]
* sysdeps/mips/bits/long-double.h: Move to ....
* sysdeps/mips/ieee754/bits/long-double.h: ... here.
I've moved the MIPS port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.mips similar to those in other files.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for mips is the
same before and after this patch (except for ld.so where paths in
assertions are involved, as for arm).
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory from
ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.
* README: Update listing for mips-*-linux-gnu and
mips64-*-linux-gnu.
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory to
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.
