SET_RESTORE_ROUND uses libc_feholdsetround_ppc_ctx and
libc_feresetround_ppc_ctx to bracket a block of code where the floating point
rounding mode must be set to a certain value.
For the *prologue*, libc_feholdsetround_ppc_ctx is used and performs:
1. Read/save FPSCR.
2. Create new value for FPSCR with new rounding mode and enables cleared.
3. If new value is different than current value,
a. If transitioning from a state where some exceptions enabled,
enter "ignore exceptions / non-stop" mode.
b. Write new value to FPSCR.
c. Put a mark on the wall indicating the FPSCR was changed.
(1) uses the 'mffs' instruction. On POWER9, the lighter weight 'mffsl'
instruction can be used, but it doesn't return all of the bits in the FPSCR.
fegetenv_status uses 'mffsl' on POWER9, 'mffs' otherwise, and can thus be
used instead of fegetenv_register.
(3b) uses 'mtfsf 0b11111111' to write the entire FPSCR, so it must
instead use 'mtfsf 0b00000011' to write just the enables and the mode,
because some of the rest of the bits are not valid if 'mffsl' was used.
fesetenv_mode uses 'mtfsf 0b00000011' on POWER9, 'mtfsf 0b11111111'
otherwise.
For the *epilogue*, libc_feresetround_ppc_ctx checks the mark on the wall, then
calls libc_feresetround_ppc, which just calls __libc_femergeenv_ppc with
parameters such that it performs:
1. Retreive saved value of FPSCR, saved in prologue above.
2. Read FPSCR.
3. Create new value of FPSCR where:
- Summary bits and exception indicators = current OR saved.
- Rounding mode and enables = saved.
- Status bits = current.
4. If transitioning from some exceptions enabled to none,
enter "ignore exceptions / non-stop" mode.
5. If transitioning from no exceptions enabled to some,
enter "catch exceptions" mode.
6. Write new value to FPSCR.
The summary bits are hardwired to the exception indicators, so there is no
need to restore any saved summary bits.
The exception indicator bits, which are sticky and remain set unless
explicitly cleared, would only need to be restored if the code block
might explicitly clear any of them. This is certainly not expected.
So, the only bits that need to be restored are the enables and the mode.
If it is the case that only those bits are to be restored, there is no need to
read the FPSCR. Steps (2) and (3) are unnecessary, and step (6) only needs to
write the bits being restored.
We know we are transitioning out of "ignore exceptions" mode, so step (4) is
unnecessary, and in step (6), we only need to check the state we are
entering.

README
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2 hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
