Pull nds32 fixes from Greentime Hu:
- fix warning for math-emu
- fix nds32 fpu exception handling
- fix nds32 fpu emulation implementation
* tag 'nds32-for-linux-5.2-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/greentime/linux:
nds32: add new emulations for floating point instruction
nds32: Avoid IEX status being incorrectly modified
math-emu: Use statement expressions to fix Wshift-count-overflow warning
|
|
The existing floating point emulations is only available for floating
instruction that possibly issue denormalized input and underflow
exceptions. These existing FPU emulations are not sufficient when IEx
Trap is enabled because some floating point instructions only issue inexact
exception. This patch adds the emulations of such floating point
instructions.

Currently, the nds32 FPU dose not support the arithmetic of denormalized
number. When the nds32 FPU finds the result of the instruction is a
denormlized number, the nds32 FPU considers it to be an underflow condition
and rounds the result to an appropriate number. It may causes some loss
of precision. This commit proposes a solution to re-execute the
instruction by the FPU emulator to enhance the precision. To transfer
calculations from user space to kernel space, this feature will enable
the underflow exception trap by default. Enabling this feature may cause
some side effects:
1. Performance loss due to extra FPU exception
2. Need another scheme to control real underflow trap
A new parameter, UDF_trap, which is belong to FPU context is used
to control underflow trap.
User can configure this feature via CONFIG_SUPPORT_DENORMAL_ARITHMETIC

The Andes FPU coprocessor does not support denormalized number handling.
According to the specification, FPU generates a denorm input exception
that requires the kernel to deal with this instrution operation when it
encounters denormalized operands. Hence an nds32 FPU ISA emulator in the
kernel is required to meet requirement.
