Re: [PATCH] [powerpc] fe{en,dis}ableexcept, fesetmode: optimize FPSCR accesses

From: "Paul A. Clarke" <pc@us.ibm.com>

Since fe{en,dis}ableexcept() and fesetmode() read-modify-write just the
"mode" (exception enable and rounding mode) bits of the Floating Point Status
Control Register (FPSCR), the lighter weight 'mffsl' instruction can be used
to read the FPSCR (enables and rounding mode), and 'mtfsf 0b00000011' can be
used to write just those bits back to the FPSCR.  The net is better performance.

In addition, fe{en,dis}ableexcept() read the FPSCR again after writing it, or
they determine that it doesn't need to be written because it is not changing.
In either case, the local variable holds the current values of the enable
bits in the FPSCR.  This local variable can be used instead of again reading
the FPSCR.

Also, that value of the FPSCR which is read the second time is validated
against the requested enables.  Since the write can't fail, this validation
step is unnecessary, and can be removed.

The write to FPSCR may not fail, but it may not change all the requested bits. e.g fedisableexcept(FE_INVALID_SQRT). Should the existing behavior be preserved?


Finally, convert the local macros in fesetmode.c to more generally useful
macros in fenv_libc.h.

2019-08-01  Paul A. Clarke  <pc@us.ibm.com>

	* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/fenv_libc.h (fesetenv_mode): New.
	(FPSCR_FPRF_MASK): New. (FPSCR_STATUS_MASK): New.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/feenablxcpt.c (feenableexcept): Use lighter-
	weight access to FPSCR; remove unnecessary second FPSCR read and
	validate.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/fedisblxcpt.c (fedisableexcept): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/fesetmode.c (fesetmode): Use lighter-weight
	access to FPSCR; Use macros in fenv_libc.h in favor of local.
