MIPS: math-emu: <MADDF|MSUBF>.D: Fix accuracy (64-bit case)
commit 2cfa58259f4b65b33ebe8f167019a1f89c6c3289 upstream. 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: e24c3bec3e8e ("MIPS: math-emu: Add support for the MIPS R6 MADDF FPU instruction") Fixes: 83d43305a1df ("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: 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> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
