Description Joseph S. Myers 2016-05-25 14:18:20 UTC
For SSE4.1 code generation, i386.md supports inlining calls to rint / ceil / floor / trunc and the float versions thereof with the roundsd / roundss instructions.  But this is conditioned on !flag_trapping_math.  It should not be so conditioned:

* For rint, the instruction raises exactly the desired exceptions.

* For ceil / floor / trunc, "inexact" should properly not be raised as per TS 18661-1.  The instruction used right now does raise "inexact", but you just need to OR 8 (ROUND_NO_EXC) into the immediate operand to avoid raising "inexact".

(For avoidance of doubt, this bug report is only about those built-in functions, not about the more complicated code generation for the "round" function, where it's likely "inexact" would be harder to avoid.)

New Revision: 237074

Log:
Add option for whether ceil etc. can raise "inexact", adjust x86 conditions.

In ISO C99/C11, the ceil, floor, round and trunc functions may or may
not raise the "inexact" exception for noninteger arguments.  Under TS
18661-1:2014, the C bindings for IEEE 754-2008, these functions are
prohibited from raising "inexact", in line with the general rule that
"inexact" is only when the mathematical infinite precision result of a
function differs from the result after rounding to the target type.

GCC has no option to select TS 18661 requirements for not raising
"inexact" when expanding built-in versions of these functions inline.
Furthermore, even given such requirements, the conditions on the x86
insn patterns for these functions are unnecessarily restrictive.  I'd
like to make the out-of-line glibc versions follow the TS 18661
requirements; in the cases where this slows them down (the cases using
x87 floating point), that makes it more important for inline versions
to be used when the user does not care about "inexact".

This patch fixes these issues.  A new option
-fno-fp-int-builtin-inexact is added to request TS 18661 rules for
these functions; the default -ffp-int-builtin-inexact reflects that
such exceptions are allowed by C99 and C11.  (The intention is that if
C2x incorporates TS 18661-1, then the default would change in C2x
mode.)

The x86 built-ins for rint (x87, SSE2 and SSE4.1) are made
unconditionally available (no longer depending on
-funsafe-math-optimizations or -fno-trapping-math); "inexact" is
correct for noninteger arguments to rint.  For floor, ceil and trunc,
the x87 and SSE2 built-ins are OK if -ffp-int-builtin-inexact or
-fno-trapping-math (they may raise "inexact" for noninteger
arguments); the SSE4.1 built-ins are made to use ROUND_NO_EXC so that
they do not raise "inexact" and so are OK unconditionally.

Now, while there was no semantic reason for depending on
-funsafe-math-optimizations, the insn patterns had such a dependence
because of use of gen_truncxf<mode>2_i387_noop to truncate back to
SFmode or DFmode after using frndint in XFmode.  In this case a no-op
truncation is safe because rounding to integer always produces an
exactly representable value (the same reason why IEEE semantics say it
shouldn't produce "inexact") - but of course that insn pattern isn't
safe because it would also match cases where the truncation is not in
fact a no-op.  To allow frndint to be used for SFmode and DFmode
without that unsafe pattern, the relevant frndint patterns are
extended to SFmode and DFmode or new SFmode and DFmode patterns added,
so that the frndint operation can be represented in RTL as an
operation acting directly on SFmode or DFmode without the extension
and the problematic truncation.

A generic test of the new option is added, as well as x86-specific
tests, both execution tests including the generic test with different
x86 options and scan-assembler tests verifying that functions that
should be inlined with different options are indeed inlined.

I think other architectures are OK for TS 18661-1 semantics already.
Considering those defining "ceil" patterns: aarch64, arm, rs6000, s390
use instructions that do not raise "inexact"; nvptx does not support
floating-point exceptions.  (This does mean the -f option in fact only
affects one architecture, but I think it should still be a -f option;
it's logically architecture-independent and is expected to be affected
by future -std options, so is similar to e.g. -fexcess-precision=,
which also does nothing on most architectures but is implied by -std
options.)

Bootstrapped with no regressions on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  OK to
