This patch modifies SoftFloat library so that it can be configured in
run-time in relation to the meaning of signaling NaN bit, while, at the
same time, strictly preserving its behavior on all existing platforms.
Background:
In floating-point calculations, there is a need for denoting undefined or
unrepresentable values. This is achieved by defining certain floating-point
numerical values to be NaNs (which stands for "not a number"). For additional
reasons, virtually all modern floating-point unit implementations use two
kinds of NaNs: quiet and signaling. The binary representations of these two
kinds of NaNs, as a rule, differ only in one bit (that bit is, traditionally,
the first bit of mantissa).
Up to 2008, standards for floating-point did not specify all details about
binary representation of NaNs. More specifically, the meaning of the bit
that is used for distinguishing between signaling and quiet NaNs was not
strictly prescribed. (IEEE 754-2008 was the first floating-point standard
that defined that meaning clearly, see [1], p. 35) As a result, different
platforms took different approaches, and that presented considerable
challenge for multi-platform emulators like QEMU.
Mips platform represents the most complex case among QEMU-supported
platforms regarding signaling NaN bit. Up to the Release 6 of Mips
architecture, "1" in signaling NaN bit denoted signaling NaN, which is
opposite to IEEE 754-2008 standard. From Release 6 on, Mips architecture
adopted IEEE standard prescription, and "0" denotes signaling NaN. On top of
that, Mips architecture for SIMD (also known as MSA, or vector instructions)
also specifies signaling bit in accordance to IEEE standard. MSA unit can be
implemented with both pre-Release 6 and Release 6 main processor units.
QEMU uses SoftFloat library to implement various floating-point-related
instructions on all platforms. The current QEMU implementation allows for
defining meaning of signaling NaN bit during build time, and is implemented
via preprocessor macro called SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE.
On the other hand, the change in this patch enables SoftFloat library to be
configured in run-time. This configuration is meant to occur during CPU
initialization, at the moment when it is definitely known what desired
behavior for particular CPU (or any additional FPUs) is.
The change is implemented so that it is consistent with existing
implementation of similar cases. This means that structure float_status is
used for passing the information about desired signaling NaN bit on each
invocation of SoftFloat functions. The additional field in float_status is
called snan_bit_is_one, which supersedes macro SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE.
IMPORTANT:
This change is not meant to create any change in emulator behavior or
functionality on any platform. It just provides the means for SoftFloat
library to be used in a more flexible way - in other words, it will just
prepare SoftFloat library for usage related to Mips platform and its
specifics regarding signaling bit meaning, which is done in some of
subsequent patches from this series.
Further break down of changes:
1) Added field snan_bit_is_one to the structure float_status, and
correspondent setter function set_snan_bit_is_one().
2) Constants <float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>_default_nan
(used both internally and externally) converted to functions
<float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>_default_nan(float_status*).
This is necessary since they are dependent on signaling bit meaning.
At the same time, for the sake of code cleanup and simplicity, constants
<floatx80|float128>_default_nan_<low|high> (used only internally within
SoftFloat library) are removed, as not needed.
3) Added a float_status* argument to SoftFloat library functions
XXX_is_quiet_nan(XXX a_), XXX_is_signaling_nan(XXX a_),
XXX_maybe_silence_nan(XXX a_). This argument must be present in
order to enable correct invocation of new version of functions
XXX_default_nan(). (XXX is <float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>
here)
4) Updated code for all platforms to reflect changes in SoftFloat library.
This change is twofolds: it includes modifications of SoftFloat library
functions invocations, and an addition of invocation of function
set_snan_bit_is_one() during CPU initialization, with arguments that
are appropriate for each particular platform. It was established that
all platforms zero their main CPU data structures, so snan_bit_is_one(0)
in appropriate places is not added, as it is not needed.

For the PER instruction-fetch, we can't use the QEMU breakpoint
infrastructure as it triggers for a single address and not a full
address range, and as it actually stop before the instruction and
not before.
We therefore call an helper with the just fetched instruction address,
which check if the address is within the PER address range. If it is
the case, an event is recorded and will be signaled through an
exception.
Note that we implement here the PER-3 behaviour, that is an invalid
opcode is not considered as an instruction fetch. Without PER-3 this
behavious is undefined.

For the PER successful-branching event support, we can't rely on any
QEMU infrastucture. We therefore call an helper in all places where
a branch can be taken. We have to pay attention to the branch to next
case, as it's still a taken branch.
We don't need to care about the cases using goto_tb, as we have disabled
them in the previous patch.

This patch add basic support to generate PER exceptions. It adds two
fields to the cpu structure to record for the PER address and PER
code & ATMID values. When an exception is triggered and a PER event is
pending, the two PER values are copied to the lowcore area.
At the end of an instruction, an helper is checking for a possible
pending PER event and triggers an exception in that case. For that to
work with branches, we need to disable TB chaining when PER is
activated. Fortunately it's already in the TB flags.
Finally in case of a SERVICE CALL exception, we need to trigger the PER
exception immediately after.

DIAG IPL is already implemented for KVM, but not wired from TCG. For
that change the format of the instruction so that we can get R1 and R3
numbers in addition to the function code.
The diag function can change plenty of things, including CC, so we
should enter with a static CC. Also it doesn't set the value of general
register 2 to 0 as in the current code. We also need to exit the CPU
loop after a reset, which means a new PSW.

Rather than include helper.h with N values of GEN_HELPER, include a
secondary file that sets up the macros to include helper.h. This
minimizes the files that must be rebuilt when changing the macros
for file N.
