NetBSD obs266 7.99.34 NetBSD 7.99.34 (OPENBLOCKS266) #1: Wed Jul 27 22:09:26 JST 2016 rin@XXX:XXX evbppc
>Description:
FPU emulation of powerpc fails for single precision floating point
arithmetic. On a machine without FPU (e.g., ibm4xx like
evbppc/OPENBLOCKS266),
====================
% cat fp.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
double dx = 1.0, dy = 2.0;
float sx = 1.0, sy = 2.0;
printf("DP: %f / %f = %f\n", dx, dy, dx / dy);
printf("SP: %f / %f = %f\n", sx, sy, sx / sy);
return 0;
}
% cc fp.c && ./a.out
DP: 1.000000 / 2.000000 = 0.500000
SP: 1.000000 / 2.000000 = 0.003906
====================
This failure triggers corrupted display output of X clients, e.g., xterm
or oclock, where single precision calculation is utilized.
>How-To-Repeat:
Described above.
>Fix:
FreeBSD also uses FPU emulation codes derived from ours, and they fixed
this bug by commit r258250:
====================
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=258250
Make single precision floating point arithmetic actually work -- I think
it never did -- and fix an obvious missing line. Floating point emulation
on Book-E still needs some work but this gets it basically functional on
soft-FPU systems (hard FPU for Book-E is not yet implemented).
MFC after: 1 week
====================
With this fix, X clients as well as the test above works fine.
