[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] * include/fpu/softfloat.h (floatx80_invalid_encoding): Handle m68k specific infinity pattern.

[Pierre Muller]

Hello,

  I submitted September 12. a bug report about wrong handling of
infinity values for m68k emulator.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1843651

  The analysis I made in the bug report is wrong, because
I did not know that m68k FPU really uses 80-bit representations internally.
  It thus seems now to me that the m68k specific floatx80_infinity_low
corresponds to a different internal encoding of infinity on m68k floating
point units, different from the one of the usual x87 floating point unit.
  The main problem still remains that the function floatx80_invalid_encoding
does not properly handle those m68k infinity patterns.

  The patch below seems to fix the reported problem on current git.

 Hi Pierre,

thanks a lot for the patch! But please note that the QEMU project has
some constraints for patches that have to be followed before a patch can
be applied.

Most important one: You need to provide a "Signed-off-by:" line in the
patch description to make sure that you agree with the Developer
Certificate Of Origin. See this URL for more details:

 https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch

Then it would be nice if you add some proper commit message to the patch
(something similar to the comment that you've added to the source code
would do the job, I guess).

And finally, please note that qemu-devel is a high traffic mailing list.
When sending patches, you best make sure to put some maintainers on CC:,
or your patch might get lost in the high traffic. You can either have a
look at the MAINTAINERS file in the main directory, or use the
scripts/get_maintainers.pl script on your patch to see who should be put
on CC:.

 Thanks,
  Thomas

I hope this is correct according to the guidelines.

Thus I took the liberty to use 'Reply to all' as you have
added several persons which are listed using
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f  include/fpu/softfloat.h
and Laurent who is more specifically involved in m68k support.

Please let me know if more is needed to get this patch accepted.

It's best to send the patches directly (i.e. don't include them in a
larger email). This is because when maintainers apply the email they end
up with a bunch of additional stuff and the corrupting of subject line.

As most of the test is the same we could rewrite this to:

 bool invalid = (a.low & (1ULL << 63)) == 0 && (a.high & 0x7FFF) != 0;
 #if defined (TARGET_M68K)
 invalid &= !floatx80_is_infinity(a)
 #endif
 return invalid;

The compiler should be able to simplify the logic from there.

Do we have any test cases that we could add to tests/tcg/m68k?

I think patch from Pierre doesn't treat all the problem and don't rely 
on any specification.

I proposed a patch years ago that is closer to the hardware behaviour:

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Return whether the given value is an invalid floatx80 encoding.
| Invalid floatx80 encodings arise when the integer bit is not set, but
| the exponent is not zero. The only times the integer bit is permitted to
| be zero is in subnormal numbers and the value zero.
| This includes what the Intel software developer's manual calls pseudo-NaNs,
| pseudo-infinities and un-normal numbers. It does not include
| pseudo-denormals, which must still be correctly handled as inputs even
| if they are never generated as outputs.
*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
static inline bool floatx80_invalid_encoding(floatx80 a)
{
#if defined(TARGET_M68K)
    /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |  M68000 FAMILY PROGRAMMER’S REFERENCE MANUAL
    |  1.6.2 Denormalized Numbers
    |  Since the extended-precision data format has an explicit integer bit,
    |  a number can be formatted with a nonzero exponent, less than the maximum
    |  value, and a zero integer bit.  The IEEE 754 standard does not define a
    |  zero integer bit. Such a number is an unnormalized number. Hardware does
    |  not directly support denormalized and unnormalized numbers, but
    |  implicitly supports them by trapping them as unimplemented data types,
    |  allowing efficient conversion in software.
    *------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    return 0;
#else
    return (a.low & (1ULL << 63)) == 0 && (a.high & 0x7FFF) != 0;
#endif
}

But in fact I think this kind of number should raise an exception.

I tried to do this in:

https://github.com/vivier/qemu-m68k/commit/5bd7742437a3c770373734add5ab452e8df4e621

but it needs more work and for the moment doesn't fix the problem Pierre is trying to fix.

Thanks,
Laurent
