GCC maintainers:

The following patch adds an overloaded builtin.  There are two possible
arguments for the builtin.  The builtin definitions are:

  double __builtin_mffscrn (unsigned long int);
  double __builtin_mffscrn (double);

The patch has been tested on Power 10 with no regressions.  

Please let me know if the patch is acceptable for mainline.  Thanks.

                    Carl 

-----------------------------------
rs6000: Add buildin for mffscrn instructions

This patch adds overloaded __builtin_mffscrn for the move From FPSCR
Control & Set R instruction with an immediate argument.  It also adds the
builtin with a floating point register argument.  A new runnable test is
added for the new builtin.

GCC maintainers:

version 2.  Fixed an issue with the test case.  The dg-options line was
missing.

The following patch adds an overloaded builtin.  There are two possible
arguments for the builtin.  The builtin definitions are:

  double __builtin_mffscrn (unsigned long int);
  double __builtin_mffscrn (double);

The patch has been tested on Power 10 with no regressions.  

Please let me know if the patch is acceptable for mainline.  Thanks.

We already have one  bif __builtin_set_fpscr_rn for RN setting, apparently
these two are mainly for direct mapping to mffscr[ni] and want the FPSCR bits.
I'm curious what's the requirements requesting these two built-in functions?

Why are them put in [power9-64] rather than [power9]?  IMHO [power9] is the
correct stanza for them.  Besides, {nosoft} attribute is required.

Note that this section is for all configurations and your implementation is put
__builtin_mffscrn power9 only, so if the intention (requirement) is to make this
be for also all configurations, we need to deal with the cases without the support
of actual hw insns mffscrn{,i}, just like the existing handlings for mffsl etc.

I know this description is copied from ISA doc, but this part is for GCC documentation,
the document conventions can be different, I prefer to just describe which control
bits in FPSCR like "control bits DRN and VE, OE, UE, ZE, XE, NI, RN in FPSCR are
returned with the same locations in FPSCR, RN in FPSCR is set according to the given
2-bits constant for the variant with const int type argument, or the given double whose
two bits sits in the same locations of FPSCR RN for the variant with double type argument."

Since it's nothing about vector, I think you should use p9modulo_hw instead ...

... and it doesn't need -mpower9-vector here.

The builtins were requested for use in GLibC.  As of version 2.31 they
were added as inline asm.  They requested a builtin so the asm could be
removed.

Moved them to power 9 stanza.

OK, added that.  I was trying to figure out why nosoft is needed.  The
instructions are manipulating bits in a physical register that controls
the hardware floating point instructions.  It looks to me like that
would be why.  Because if you were using msoft float then the floating
point HW registers are disabled and the floating point operations are
done using software.  Did I figure this out correctly?

I think it should be sufficient to just support these when floating
hardware instructions are supported.  So I believe I just need to move
these to the correct place in the document.  I think that means they
should be in the section:

  The following functions require @option{-mhard-float},
  @option{-mpowerpc-gfxopt}, and @option{-mpopcntb} options.

Moved to the end of the above section.  Hope that is correct.

Updated the description to not specify the specific bit positions.

Kewen, Segher, GCC maintainers:

Version 3, fixed various issues noted by Kewen.  Retested on Power 10. 
No regression issues.

Version 2,  Fixed an issue with the test case.  The dg-options line was
missing.

The following patch adds an overloaded builtin.  There are two possible
arguments for the builtin.  The builtin definitions are:

  double __builtin_mffscrn (unsigned long int);
  double __builtin_mffscrn (double);

The patch has been tested on Power 10 with no regressions.  

Please let me know if the patch is acceptable for mainline.  Thanks.

                    Carl 
-------------------------------------------

rs6000: Add builtin for mffscrn instructions

This patch adds overloaded __builtin_mffscrn for the move From FPSCR
Control & Set RN instruction with an immediate argument.  It also adds the
builtin with a floating point register argument.  A new runnable test is
added for the new builtin.

gcc/

	* config/rs6000/rs6000-builtins.def (__builtin_mffscrni,
	__builtin_mffscrnd): Add builtin definitions.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000-overload.def (__builtin_mffscrn): Add
	overloaded definition.
	* doc/extend.texi: Add documentation for __builtin_mffscrn.

gcc/testsuite/

	* gcc.target/powerpc/builtin-mffscrn.c: Add testcase for new
	builtin.

Yes, and also the destination of these two instructions is hardware float

The hardware insn mffsl which is available starting from ISA 3.0, but
the related built-in __builtin_mffsl is available on all configurations,
since it has the falling back as rs6000-builtins.def said:

; Although the mffsl instruction is only available on POWER9 and later
; processors, this builtin automatically falls back to mffs on older
; platforms.  Thus it appears here in the [always] stanza.
  double __builtin_mffsl ();
    MFFSL rs6000_mffsl {nosoft}

So IMHO we also want the similar support for mffscrn, that is to make
use of mffscrn and mffscrni on Power9 and later, but falls back to 
__builtin_set_fpscr_rn + mffs similar on older platforms.

Segher & Peter, what do you think of this?

So __builtin_set_fpscr_rn everything we want (sets the RN bits) and
uses mffscrn/mffscrni on P9 and later and uses older insns on pre-P9.
The only problem is we don't return the current FPSCR bits, as the bif
is defined to return void.  Crazy idea, but could we extend the built-in
with an overload that returns the FPSCR bits?  To be honest, I like
the __builtin_set_fpscr_rn name better than __builtin_mffscrn[i].
The built-in machinery can see that the usage is expecting a return value
or not and for the pre-P9 code, can skip generating the ending mffs if
we don't want the return value.

Yes.

So you agree that we should make this proposed new bif handle pre-P9 just
like some other existing bifs. :)  I think extending it is good and doable,
but the only concern here is the bif name "__builtin_set_fpscr_rn", which
matches the existing behavior (only set rounding) but doesn't match the
proposed extending behavior (set rounding and get some env bits back).
Maybe it's not a big deal if the documentation clarify it well.

Extending the builtin to pre Power 9 is straight forward and I agree
would make good sense to do.

I am a bit concerned on how to extend __builtin_set_fpscr_rn to add the
new functionality.  Peter suggests overloading the builtin to either
return void or returns FPSCR bits.  It is my understanding that the
return value for a given builtin had to be the same, i.e. you can't
overload the return value. Maybe you can with Bill's new
infrastructure?  I recall having problems trying to overload the return
value in the past and Bill said you couldn't do it.  I play with this
and see if I can overload the return value.

In this case, I don't think we need a built-in overload, but just change
the current built-in to return a double rather than void.  All of the
old code should still work, since they'll just ignore the return
value.  As I said, the built-in machinery can see whether we're assigning
the built-in return value to a variable or not, ie, the difference between

  __builtin_set_fpscr_rn ();

versus:

  foo = __builtin_set_fpscr_rn ();

In the former case, the built-in can expand exactly as how it does now.
In the later case, we'll use the target rtx we're passed in as the
destination of the mffscrn[i] insn for P9/10 and for pre-P9, we'll
use the target for an additional mffs instruction which we don't
generate now.  Note we'd only generate the mffs when we're passed in
a target rtx as in the second case.  The first case we won't.

This is all assuming Segher is fine with the change this way.  If we do
go this way, I would recommend adding a predefined macro that users can
test for to know whether the built-in returns a value or not.

If Segher doesn't like this idea, then it's all moot! :-)

Your understanding on that we fail to overload this for just different
return types is correct.  But previously I interpreted the extending
proposal as to extend
 
  void __builtin_set_fpscr_rn (int);

to 

  void __builtin_set_fpscr_rn (int, double*);

The related address taken and store here can be optimized out normally.

I don't think that is correct.   The current definition of the builtin
is:

     void __builtin_set_fpscr_rn (int);

The proposal by Peter was to change the return type to double, i.e.

     double __builtin_set_fpscr_rn (int);

Peter also said the following:

   The built-in machinery can see that the usage is expecting a return
   value or not and for the pre-P9 code, can skip generating the ending
   mffs if we don't want the return value.

Which I don't think we want.  The mffscrn and mffscrni instructions
return the contents of the control bits in the FPSCR, that is, bits
29:31 (DRN) and bits 56:63 (VE, OE, UE, ZE, XE, NI, RN), are placed
into the corresponding bits in register FRT. All other bits in register
FRT are set to 0.  

The instructions also updates the current RN field of the FPSCR with
the new RN supplied the second argument of the instruction.  So, the
instructions update the RN field just like the __builtin_set_fpscr_rn. 
So, we can use the existing __builtin_set_fpscr_rn to update the RN for
all ISAs, we just need to have __builtin_set_fpscr_rn always return a
double with the desired fields from the FPSCR (the current RN).  This
will then emulate the behavior of the mffscrn and mffscrni
instructions.  The current uses of __builtin_set_fpscr_rn will just
ignore the return value which is not a problem.  The return value can
be stored in the places were the user is currently using the inline asm
for the mffscrn and mffscrni instructions.

The __builtin_set_fpscr_rn builtin is currently using the mffscrn and
mffscrni on Power 9 and throwing away the result from the instruction. 
We just need to change __builtin_set_fpscr_rn to return the value
instead.  For the pre Power 9 code, the builtin will need to read the
full FPSCR, mask of the desired fields and return the fields.

So, there is no need for the builtin to have to determine if the user
is storing the result of the __builtin_set_fpscr_rn.  The RN bits will
always be updated by the __builtin_set_fpscr_rn builtin and the
existing fields of the FPSCR will always be returned by the builtin.

Please let me know if you agree.  I think I have this sorted out
correctly.  Thanks.

Just to clarify: I didn't meant to suggest it, just explained why I
thought overloading is doable previously as I interpreted it with one
extended argument. :)

Yeah, I agree, even with pre-P9 code when the returned value is unused,
I'd expect DCE can eliminate the part for the FPSCR bits reading and
masking, it's just like before (only setting RN bits).

The only concern I mentioned before is the built-in name doesn't clearly
match what it does (with extending, it returns something instead) since
it's only saying "set" and setting RN bits, the return value is easily
misunderstood as returning old RN bits, the documentation has to explain
and note it well.

Looking forward to Segher's opinion on this.

BR,
Kewen

I have the patch to extend the __builtin_set_fpscr_rn builtin working. 
I agree the documentation on the instructions in the ISA is not really
clear about that.  It needs to be much more explicit in the builtin
description that the current RN field is returned then the field is
updated with the new RN bits from the argument.  

I sent the patch, with the updated builtin description and testcases to
the GLibC team to see what they thought of it.  The goal was for the
builtin to be effectively a "drop in replacement" for the inline asm
that they have.  I was planning on posting the new version if the GLibC
team says it works for them.  Hopefully I will hear from them soon.

                    Carl
