fenv_t should include architecture-specific floating-point modes and
status flags. i386 and x86_64 fesetenv limit which bits they use from
the x87 status and control words, when using saved state, and limit
which parts of the state they set to fixed values, when using
FE_DFL_ENV / FE_NOMASK_ENV. The following should be included but are
excluded in at least some cases: status and masking for the "denormal
operand" exception (which isn't part of FE_ALL_EXCEPT); precision
control (explicitly mentioned in Annex F as something that counts as
part of the floating-point environment); MXCSR FZ and DAZ bits (for
FE_DFL_ENV and FE_NOMASK_ENV). This patch arranges for this extra
state to be handled by fesetenv (and thereby by feupdateenv, which
calls fesetenv).
(Note that glibc functions using floating point are not generally
expected to work correctly with non-default values of this state,
especially precision control, but it is still logically part of the
floating-point environment and should be handled as such by fesetenv.
Changes to the state relating to subnormals ought generally to work
with libm functions when the arguments aren't subnormal and neither
are the expected results; that's a consequence of functions avoiding
spurious internal underflows.)
A question arising from this is whether FE_NOMASK_ENV should or should
not mask the "denormal operand" exception. I decided it should mask
that exception. This is the status quo - previously that exception
could only be unmasked by direct manipulation of control registers
(possibly via <fpu_control.h>). In addition, it means that use of
FE_NOMASK_ENV leaves a floating-point environment the same as could be
obtained by fesetenv (FE_DFL_ENV); feenableexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT);,
rather than an environment in which an exception is unmasked that
could only be masked again by using fesetenv with FE_DFL_ENV (or a
previously saved environment) - this exception not being usable with
other <fenv.h> functions because it's outside FE_ALL_EXCEPT.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

* sysdeps/i386/fpu/fesetenv.c: Include <fpu_control.h>.
(FE_ALL_EXCEPT_X86): New macro.
(__fesetenv): Use FE_ALL_EXCEPT_X86 in most places instead of
FE_ALL_EXCEPT. Ensure precision control is included in
floating-point state. Ensure that FE_DFL_ENV and FE_NOMASK_ENV
handle "denormal operand exception" and clear FZ and DAZ bits.

The i386 and x86_64 versions of fesetenv, when called with FE_DFL_ENV
or FE_NOMASK_ENV as argument, do not clear SSE exceptions raised in
MXCSR. These arguments should, like other fenv_t values, represent
the whole of the floating-point state, so such exceptions should be
cleared; this patch adds the required clearing. (Discovered while
working on bug 16068.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

This patch fixes bug 16064, i386 fenv_t not including SSE state, using
the technique suggested there of storing the state in the existing
__eip field of fenv_t to avoid needing to increase the size of fenv_t
and add new symbol versions. The included testcase, which previously
failed for i386 (but passed for x86_64), illustrates how the previous
state was buggy.
This patch causes the SSE state to be included *to the extent it is on
x86_64*. Where some state should logically be included but isn't for
x86_64 (see bug 16068), this patch does not cause it to be included
for i386 either. The idea is that any patch fixing that bug should
fix it for both x86_64 and i386 at once.
Tested i386 and x86_64. (I haven't tested the case of a CPU without
SSE2 disabling the test.)
[BZ #16064]
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/fegetenv.c: Include <unistd.h>, <ldsodefs.h>
and <dl-procinfo.h>.
(__fegetenv): Save SSE state in envp->__eip if supported.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/feholdexcpt.c (feholdexcept): Save SSE state in
envp->__eip if supported.

and <dl-procinfo.h>.
(__fesetenv): Always set __eip, __cs_selector, __opcode,
__data_offset and __data_selector in environment to 0. Set SSE
state if supported.
