[PATCH 0/3 V2] Honor --disable-decimal-float in PowerPC libgcc _Float128

[PATCH 0/3 V2] Honor --disable-decimal-float in PowerPC libgcc _Float128

[Michael Meissner]

I have broken the patches I submitted on Friday February 26th into 3 patches.
These patches allow us to build the libgcc library on PowerPC for VSX systems
and optionally enable/disable the Decimal support.  If Decimal support is
disabled, then the Float128 <-> Decimal conversions are not built.

I have done bootstraps on a little endian power9 system with each of the long
double variants (128-bit IBM, 128-bit IEEE, 64-bit) enabled, and there were no
regressions in each of the builds with the previous version.

In addition, I have built 2 cross compilers from my x86_64 system to little
endian PowerPC Linux.  One build enabled decimal support and one disabled the
decimal support.  On the build that disabled decimal support, I verified that
the _Float128 <-> Decimal conversions were not built.

Can I check these patches into the master branch for GCC 11?

The 3 patches are:

   #1: Fix __sprintfkf prototype to match between .h and .c files;
   #2: Eliminate including stdio.h in _sprintfkf.c; (and)
   #3: Disable building _Float128 <-> Decimal conversions if
       --disable-decimal-float.

[PATCH 1/3 V2] Fix __sprintfkf prototype in libgcc.

[PATCH 1/3 V2] Fix __sprintfkf prototype in libgcc.

The prototype of __sprintfkf in _sprintfkf.h did not match the function in
_sprintfkf.c.  This patch fixes the prototype.  I also included the
_sprintfkf.h file in _sprintfkf.c to make sure the prototype is correct and to
eliminate a warning about declaring the function without a previous
declaration.

[PATCH 2/3 V2] Do not include stdio.h in libgcc's Decimal/Float128 conversions.

[Michael Meissner]

[PATCH 2/3 V2] Do not include stdio.h in libgcc's Decimal/Float128 conversions.

The _sprintfkf.c file was including stdio.h to get the definition of sprintf.
This patch modifies this so that stdio.h is not included in order to support
freestanding cross compilers that might not provide stdio.h.

I have done bootstraps on a little endian power9 system with each of the long
double variants (128-bit IBM, 128-bit IEEE, 64-bit) enabled, and there were no
regressions in each of the builds with the previous version.

"declare sprintf", and the function is called stdio.g (all lowercase).
It is often written <stdio.h>, which makes it easier to handle in

sprintf as well as __builtin_sprintf do not exist exactly when <stdio.h>
does not (or are not guaranteed to exist, anyway).

There are 2 issues:

The first issue is whether you get an error when you are building a cross
compiler and the target you are using does not provide a stdio.h.  This is the
error that this patch fixes.  I tend to regard not being able to build the
toolchain are higher in priority than whether it works at runtime.

The second is whether you get an error at link time because there is not
sprintf or strtold functions.  For normal archive libraries, this would only be
an issue if you actually do the conversion.  I have my doubts whether there is
any extant code that wants to convert _Float128 to one of the Decimal types or
vice versa.

Note the second issue would affect x86_64 cross compilers as well, since they
use those two functions to do the _Float128/Decimal versions.

I am open to suggestions of how to move forward.  I think we have to have a way
to build cross compilers without decimal support (i.e. my third patch).
Secondarily, I think we should allow the compiler to be built if there is no
stdio.h, but the user did not disable decimal floating point.

I don't think rewriting the Decimal conversions not to use GLIBC is really
practical.  I certainly do not have the FP math skills to do this without
losing precision, etc.

And I see both as basic requirements.  A patch that adds X should make X
work.

If you want to make decimal and/or QP float work only on 64-bit LE Linux
you should say so.  And in that case, that is certainly not acceptable
if it doesn't "sorry" at configure time already.

So what are these patches for at all, again?

Anyway, if some conversion doesn't work (or cannot work correctly at
all, which is the same thing), you should simply disable the conversion
routines themselves (and then cascade that through the possible callers:just make them say "sorry, unimplemented").

Yes, it cannot work correctly at all there, either.

Yes.  So just do not use it then.  Disable the feature that would use it.

It is necessary if you want to support it on any other systems than the
one you use.

Well in general the only supported configuration for _Float128 is 64-bit LE
Linux, but this is more due to the infrastructure not supporting it.

If you want to support _Float128 on big endian, you need a GLIBC that provides
the necessary support.  As far as I know, GLIBC does not build the _Float128
support on big endian.

You also need to set the minimum CPU to power7, because _Float128 is passed in
Altivec registers.  I think some of the configure tests use the default cpu
used in building GCC (i.e. power4 if you don't use --with-cpu).

As we have discussed many times, on 32-bit BE, you cannot use hardware
_Float128 support on power9/power10 because there is no TImode in 32-bit.
Various machine independent parts of GCC require an integer type to be the same
size as basic types.  If somebody made TImode work, we can remove the
restriction and allow _Float128 to work on 32-bit.

With the current compiler on BE, if you use -mcpu=power7 or newer, it will
enable the _Float128/__float128 keywords, and generate the code.  But until
there is an expectation of library support, it won't work for the general
user.

The whole reason for the patches is to provide the support when we flip the
default long double type from the IBM 128-bit type to the IEEE 128-bit type
that conversions between long double and the Decimal types will succeed.  I
suspect in real life it won't be an issue, since Decimal is not used that
much.  But it is more likely people will want to convert between binary long
double and Decimal128.

I missed the fact that it had hidden dependencies for cross compilers.  So I am
trying to fix this.

If you remember, the original versions of the patch would only work if you
configured the compiler to use GLIBC 2.32 or newer (such as using the
--with-advance-toolchain at14.0 option).  You did not like this because as you
pointed out, you might use a different GLIBC when linking.

So I wrote the current patch that uses weak references to see if we did link
with GLIBC 2.32.  If the library is present, we use the functions in that
library.  If not, we have to give an approximate answer.  I used the existing
IBM 128-bit support to do the conversion.

Given GLIBC 2.32 is the minimum version of GLIBC that supports IEEE 128-bit
long doubles, if you link against an earlier library, you will not get the
conversions from long double.  You will only get the conversion if you
explicitly use _Float128.

Sure, but it is a massive amount of work.  And I don't have the necessary
skills to insure that the conversion process will not suffer from errors.

I'm not sure exactly what the machine-independent requirement is, but 
_Float128 is supported for 32-bit x86, riscv, sparc and s390 at least.

There's no support for _Float128 in the 32-bit powerpc ABI, but I don't 
think there is anything architecture-independent preventing such support 
on 32-bit platforms where TImode is unsupported (i.e. not supported by the 
scalar_mode_supported_p hook).

The problem is several parts of GCC insists that there be an integer MODE that
is the same size as the scalar MODE.  I recall it happens in moves (such as
during calls), but it could be other places as well.

In theory, it would be nice to get this fixed, but the practicality is you can
go down a lot of places to find the next bug and fix that.

Maybe there is somebody who has enough time and patience to fix all of the
places that demand that there be an integer type large enough to hold scalar
types like _Float128 and generate alternate code.

Or perhaps implement enough of TImode so that it doesn't cause issues.

But in order to do the work and make sure it does not cause issues for 32-bit
and hardware _Float128, you need to build on a big endian power9 system.  In
the compile farm there is gcc135, but it is run little endian.

BTW, during the initial development of MMA, I ran into the same issue for the
vector pair and vector quad types.  Each of the approaches that we took had
some serious issues.  What I did in the initial stages of development is add
dummy moves that would never succeed for 256 and 512-bit integers, and then use
partial integers to represent that these weren't quite real integers.  However,
even then we discovered various parts of the compiler would strip off the
partial integer type and use the full integer type, even though there was no
real support for that type.  Peter and Aaron eventually solved this by adding
support for opaque modes.

However, Float128 needs to be a scalar floating point mode, not an opaque mode.

This isn't the point.  You make it harder to support in the future, for

Yes, another unnecessary big restriction.

That is a) another thing that needs fixing, and b) you *can* have
floating point modes of a size that does not exist as integer mode.

So?  That does not mean you can break it further!

It has nothing to do with me liking or not liking a patch.  You are
piling on more and more dependencies, when we cannot have any.  *That*
is the problem.  And it is a *problem*.

If we have a maze of limited situations that do and don't work, testing
becomes impossible already, let alone all further support.

[PATCH 3/3 V2] Do not build Decimal/Float128 conversions if decimal is disabled.

[Michael Meissner]

[PATCH 3/3 V2] Do not build Decimal/Float128 conversions if decimal is disabled.

This patch suppresses building the Decimal <-> Float128 conversions if the user
used --disable-decimal-float when configuring GCC.

I have done bootstraps on a little endian power9 system with each of the long
double variants (128-bit IBM, 128-bit IEEE, 64-bit) enabled, and there were no
regressions in each of the builds with the previous version.

In addition, I have built 2 cross compilers from my x86_64 system to little
endian PowerPC Linux.  One build enabled decimal support and one disabled the
decimal support.  On the build that disabled decimal support, I verified that
the _Float128 <-> Decimal conversions were not built.

Can I check this patch into the master branch for GCC 11?

2021-03-01  Michael Meissner  <meissner@linux.ibm.com>

	* config.host (powerpc*-*-linux*): Add t-float128-dec if Decimal
	arithmetic is supported.
	* config/rs6000/t-float128: Add conditions to suppress building the
	Decimal <-> Float128 conversions if --disable-decimal-float.
	* config/rs6000/t-float128-dec: New file.
	* configure.ac (powerpc*-*-linux*): Record whether decimal arithmetic
	is supported.
	* configure: Regenerate.
