Implement fused multiply-add with correct accuracy. Fused multiply-add operation has better accuracy than respective sequential execution of multiply and add operations applied on the same inputs. This is because accuracy errors accumulate in latter case. This patch implements fused multiply-add with the same accuracy as it is implemented in hardware, using 128-bit intermediate calculations. One test case example (raw bits) that this patch fixes: MADDF.D fd,fs,ft: fd = 0x00000ca000000000 fs = ft = 0x3f40624dd2f1a9fc Fixes:e24c3bec3e("MIPS: math-emu: Add support for the MIPS R6 MADDF FPU instruction") Fixes:83d43305a1("MIPS: math-emu: Add support for the MIPS R6 MSUBF FPU instruction") Signed-off-by: Douglas Leung <douglas.leung@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Miodrag Dinic <miodrag.dinic@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Goran Ferenc <goran.ferenc@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Aleksandar Markovic <aleksandar.markovic@imgtec.com> Cc: Douglas Leung <douglas.leung@imgtec.com> Cc: Bo Hu <bohu@google.com> Cc: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Cc: Jin Qian <jinqian@google.com> Cc: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Cc: Petar Jovanovic <petar.jovanovic@imgtec.com> Cc: Raghu Gandham <raghu.gandham@imgtec.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.7+ Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/16891/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
