The instructions mtfsf, mtfsfi and mtfsb1, when called, fail to set the FI bit (bit 46 in the FPSCR) and can set to 1 the reserved bit 52 of the FPSCR, as reported in https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/266 (although the bug report is only for mtfsf, the bug applies to mtfsfi and mtfsb1 as well).
These instructions also fail to throw an exception when the exception and enabling bits are set, this can be tested by adding 'prctl(PR_SET_FPEXC, PR_FP_EXC_PRECISE);' before the __builtin_mtfsf call in the test case of the bug report. These patches aim to fix these issues. Changes from v3: - rebased on the master branch of https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu Changes from v2: - changed patch order to add the mtfsf test after the FI bit and deferred exception fix(patch 1) as these are the errors tested here - moved code to check FP_VE only once in helper_fpscr_check_status - tests/tcg/ppc64le/mtfsf.c tests if the signal code is correct - FPSCR bits 0-28 can't be set anymore as they're reserved bits - changed (11ull << 11) in FPSCR_MTFS_MASK to PPC_BIT(52) to make it clearer Changes from v1: - added a test for mtfsf (patch 3) - moved "Resolves" to second patch - removed gen_reset_fpstatus() from mtfsf,mtfsfi and mtfsb1 instructions Lucas Mateus Castro (alqotel) (3): target/ppc: Fixed call to deferred exception test/tcg/ppc64le: test mtfsf target/ppc: ppc_store_fpscr doesn't update bits 0 to 28 and 52 target/ppc/cpu.c | 2 +- target/ppc/cpu.h | 4 ++ target/ppc/fpu_helper.c | 48 +++++++++++++++++++++++ target/ppc/helper.h | 1 + target/ppc/translate/fp-impl.c.inc | 9 ++--- tests/tcg/ppc64/Makefile.target | 1 + tests/tcg/ppc64le/Makefile.target | 1 + tests/tcg/ppc64le/mtfsf.c | 61 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 120 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/tcg/ppc64le/mtfsf.c -- 2.31.1
