soft-fp's _FP_FMA fails to set the result's exponent for cases where
the result of the multiplication is 0, yielding incorrect (arbitrary,
depending on uninitialized values) results for those cases. This
affects libm for architectures using soft-fp to implement fma. This
patch adds the exponent setting and tests for this case.
Tested for ARM soft-float (which uses soft-fp fma), x86_64 and x86 (to
verify not introducing new libm test failures there).
(This bug showed up in testing my patch to move the Linux kernel to
current soft-fp. math/Makefile has "override CFLAGS +=
-Wno-uninitialized" which would have stopped compiler warnings from
showing up this problem, although I wouldn't be surprised if removing
that shows spurious warnings from this code, if the compiler fails to
follow that various cases where the exponent is uninitialized don't
need it initialized because the class is set to a value meaning the
uninitialized exponent isn't used.)
[BZ #17932]
* soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_FMA): Set exponent of result in case
where multiplication results in zero and third argument is finite
and nonzero.
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of fma.
* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-09/msg00488.html>, I
noted that comparisons in soft-fp did not set FP_EX_DENORM unless
denormal operands were flushed to zero.
This patch fixes soft-fp to check for denormal operands for
comparisons and set that exception whenever FP_EX_DENORM is not zero.
In particular, for the one architecture for which the Linux kernel
defines FP_EX_DENORM (alpha), this corresponds to the existing logic
for comparisons and so allows that logic to be replaced by a simple
call to FP_CMP_D when soft-fp is updated in the kernel.
Tested for powerpc (e500) that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.
* soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_CMP_CHECK_DENORM): New macro.
(_FP_CMP_CHECK_FLUSH_ZERO): Likewise.
(_FP_CMP): Use_FP_CMP_CHECK_DENORM and _FP_CMP_CHECK_FLUSH_ZERO.
(_FP_CMP_EQ): Likewise.
(_FP_CMP_UNORD): Use _FP_CMP_CHECK_DENORM.
One special case needed in soft-fp to replace the old version in the
Linux kernel is extending from a narrower floating-point format to a
wider one without quieting signaling NaNs. (This is for
arch/powerpc/math-emu/lfs.c, where previously it used the old FP_CONV
which didn't do anything special for NaNs, then handled packing
specially for NaNs to avoid quieting at packing time, and discarded
the exceptions from unpacking.)
This patch accordingly refactors FP_EXTEND, creating a separate
_FP_EXTEND_CNAN that offers a choice of how NaNs are handled, with
FP_EXTEND reimplemented as a wrapper that provides the common case of
the IEEE operation that does quiet signaling NaNs and raise exceptions
for them.
Tested for powerpc (e500) that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.
* soft-fp/op-common.h (FP_EXTEND): Rename to _FP_EXTEND_CNAN with
extra argument CHECK_NAN. Redefine as wrapper around
_FP_EXTEND_CNAN.
This reverts part of the previous commit to refactor pthread.h.
The refactoring must be done by having pthread.h include arch
bits headers, not the other way around. Then hppa provides the
arch bits header. For now we synchronzie again with pthread.h
and include the entire contents in the hppa copy.
BZ #16618
Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the
to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer. The
implementation now correctly computes the required buffer size when
using malloc.
A regression test was added to tst-sscanf.
Update all translations.
Update contributions in the manual.
Update installation notes with information about newest working tools.
Reconfigure using exactly autoconf 2.69.
Regenerate INSTALL.
(1) Fix warnings.
This is a bulk update to fix all the warnings that were causing
build failures with -Werror on hppa.
The most egregious problems are in dl-fptr.c which needs to be
entirely rewritten, thus I've used -Wno-error for that.
(2) Fix conformance errors.
The sysdep.c file had __syscall_error and syscall in one file
which caused conformance issues by including syscall when
__syscall_error was linked to. The fix is obviously to split
the file and use syscall.c to implement syscall.

Fix the warning by initializing the structure.
This is because of alignment issues in the sem_t support.
tilegx32 does in fact support 64-bit atomics and we will need
to revisit this after the 2.21 freeze.
This patch disables use of 64-bit atomics for MIPS n32 to fix the
problems with unaligned semaphores.
Before 64-bit atomics are used for anything for which such alignment
issues do not arise, and before the addition of any new ILP32 ports
with 64-bit semaphores for which the ABI can be set to have the
greater alignment (AARCH64?), a better approach will need to be
established that allows architectures to declare their 64-bit atomics
availability accurately, without doing so causing inappropriate use of
such atomics on unaligned semaphores.
Tested for MIPS n32 that this fixes the nptl/tst-sem3 failure.
* sysdeps/mips/bits/atomic.h [_MIPS_SIM == _ABIN32]
(__HAVE_64B_ATOMICS): Define to 0.
This patch fixes a bug introduced by 18f2945ae9, where it optimizes
the FPSCR set by just issuing a mtfs instruction if new flag is different
from older one. The issue is a typo, where the new flag should the the
new value, instead of the old one.
It fixes BZ#17885.
Some powerpc64 processors (e5500 core for instance) does not provide the
fsqrt instruction, however current check to use in math_private.h is
__WORDSIZE and _ARCH_PWR4 (ISA 2.02). This is patch change it to use
the compiler flag _ARCH_PPCSQ (which is the same condition GCC uses to
decide whether to generate fsqrt instruction).
It fixes BZ#16576.
GLIBC memset optimization for POWER8 uses the '.machine power8'
directive, which is only supported officially on binutils 2.24+. This
causes a build failure on older binutils.
Since the requirement of .machine power8 is to correctly assembly the
'mtvsrd' instruction and it is already handled by the MTVSRD_V1_R4
macro, there is no really needed of using it.
The patch replaces the power8 with power7 for .machine directive.
It fixes BZ#17869.
This patch fix the elf/ifuncmain6pie failure when building with GCC
4.9+. For some reason, the compiler removes the branch taken code at
resolve_ifunc (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h) as dead-code
and thus the testcase fails because the ifunc resolves branches to an
invalid memory location. It fixes by explicit adding a dependency of
value based on odp variable to avoid compiler optimization.
It fixes BZ#17868.
This patch replaces unsigned long int and 1UL with uint64_t and
(uint64_t) 1 to support ILP32 targets like x32.
