  The calls to feholdexcept, fesetround and fesetenv are replaced
by the libc_fe* macros.

Unfortunately, this patch is responsible for testfails on x86_64:

math/test-float128-exp.out:
Failure: exp (-0x1p-10000): Exception "Underflow" set
Failure: exp (-0x2p-16384): Exception "Underflow" set
...

math/test-float128-cexp.out:
Failure: Real part of: cexp (0x2p-16384 - 0x4p-1076 i): Exception 
"Underflow" set
Failure: Real part of: cexp (0x2p-16384 - 0x8p-152 i): Exception 
"Underflow" set
...

I've stepped through "expf128 (0x1p-10000)" in 
sysdeps/ieee754/float128/../ldbl-128/e_expl.c:
151: libc_feholdexcept_setroundl (&oldenv, FE_TONEAREST);    // before 
this patch: feholdexcept (&oldenv); fesetround (FE_TONEAREST);
199: x22 = x + x*x*(P1+x*(P2+x*(P3+x*(P4+x*(P5+x*P6)))));
203: libc_fesetenvl (&oldenv);    // before this patch: fesetenv (&oldenv);

During the evaluation of x22 the underflow exception occures while:
<__ieee754_expf128+920>  callq  0x7ffff7f2a7c0 <__multf3>
which calls __sfp_handle_exceptions():
ae8be:       40 f6 c7 10             test   $0x10,%dil
ae8c2:       74 0f                   je     ae8d3 
<__sfp_handle_exceptions+0x73>
ae8c4:       d9 74 24 d8             fnstenv -0x28(%rsp)
ae8c8:       66 83 4c 24 dc 10       orw    $0x10,-0x24(%rsp)
ae8ce:       d9 64 24 d8             fldenv -0x28(%rsp)
ae8d2:       9b                      fwait

According to sysdeps/x86/fpu/fenv_private.h:
#ifdef __x86_64__
# define libc_feholdexcept_setroundf128 libc_feholdexcept_setround_sse
# define libc_fesetenvf128	libc_fesetenv_sse
#else
# define libc_feholdexcept_setroundf128	default_libc_feholdexcept_setround
# define libc_fesetenvf128	default_libc_fesetenv
#endif

// On my machine:
# define STMXCSR "stmxcsr"
# define LDMXCSR "ldmxcsr"

static __always_inline void
libc_feholdexcept_setround_sse (fenv_t *e, int r)
{
   unsigned int mxcsr;
   asm (STMXCSR " %0" : "=m" (*&mxcsr));
   e->__mxcsr = mxcsr;
   mxcsr = ((mxcsr | 0x1f80) & ~0x603f) | (r << 3);
   asm volatile (LDMXCSR " %0" : : "m" (*&mxcsr));
}

Whereas the feholdexcept() function is using in
./sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/feholdexcpt.c:
int
__feholdexcept (fenv_t *envp)
{
   unsigned int mxcsr;

   /* Store the environment.  Recall that fnstenv has a side effect of
      masking all exceptions.  Then clear all exceptions.  */
   __asm__ ("fnstenv %0\n\t"
	   "stmxcsr %1\n\t"
	   "fnclex"
	   : "=m" (*envp), "=m" (envp->__mxcsr));

   /* Set the SSE MXCSR register.  */
   mxcsr = (envp->__mxcsr | 0x1f80) & ~0x3f;
   __asm__ ("ldmxcsr %0" : : "m" (*&mxcsr));

   return 0;
}

I assume that the underflow exception keeps active as the pair of 
fnstenv / fldenv is missing if libc_feholdexcept_setroundf128 / 
libc_fesetenvf128 is used instead of feholdexcept, fesetround and fesetenv.
As I'm not familiar with float128 on x86_64, can anybody please help?

Bye,
Stefan

The sysdeps/x86/fpu/fenv_private.h states:

296 #ifdef __x86_64__
297 /* The SSE rounding mode is used by soft-fp (libgcc and glibc) on
298    x86_64, so that must be set for float128 computations.  */
299 # define SET_RESTORE_ROUNDF128(RM) \
300   SET_RESTORE_ROUND_GENERIC (RM, libc_feholdsetround_sse, libc_feresetround_sse)

So

And here libc_fesetenvf128.

It might require extend the libc_*f128 macros to other architectures
(not sure).

But it does not see to help here, so I don't know what is failing as well.

Ok, so what is happening __sfp_handle_exceptions always use 387 exception
mode for FP_EX_OVERFLOW and FP_EX_UNDERFLOW:

config/i386/sfp-exceptions.c

 79   if (_fex & FP_EX_OVERFLOW)
 80     {
 81       struct fenv temp;
 82       asm volatile ("fnstenv\t%0" : "=m" (temp));
 83       temp.__status_word |= FP_EX_OVERFLOW;
 84       asm volatile ("fldenv\t%0" : : "m" (temp));
 85       asm volatile ("fwait");
 86     }
 87   if (_fex & FP_EX_UNDERFLOW)
 88     {
 89       struct fenv temp;
 90       asm volatile ("fnstenv\t%0" : "=m" (temp));
 91       temp.__status_word |= FP_EX_UNDERFLOW;
 92       asm volatile ("fldenv\t%0" : : "m" (temp));
 93       asm volatile ("fwait");
 94     }

Different that FP_EX_INEXACT, for instance, where __SSE_MATH__ sets
whether SSE is used or not.

So I think it is not safe to use the SSE variants for libc_*_testf128,
as for i387 we should use the default_* instead.

It does not help as this is already the case. The float128 exp is build 
with sysdeps/ieee754/float128/e_expf128.c which includes 
sysdeps/ieee754/float128/float128_private.h before including 
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128/e_expl.c.

float128_private.h contains things like that:
...
#include <fenv_private.h>
...
#ifdef libc_feholdexcept_setroundf128
# undef libc_feholdexcept_setroundl
# define libc_feholdexcept_setroundl(ENV, RM)	\
   libc_feholdexcept_setroundf128 (ENV, RM)
#endif
...
#ifdef libc_fesetenvf128
# undef libc_fesetenvl
# define libc_fesetenvl(ENV) libc_fesetenvf128 (ENV)
#endif

I've just switched to default_* in sysdeps/x86/fpu/fenv_private.h:
-#ifdef __x86_64__
+#if 0
  /* The SSE rounding mode is used by soft-fp (libgcc and glibc) on
     x86_64, so that must be set for float128 computations.  */
  # define SET_RESTORE_ROUNDF128(RM) \

So it seems the issue is the mix on how libm fenv function, the internal
libc_fe*, and libgcc handles the exception register.  The exported fenv
operates on both i387 and SSE (since it should work on long double as well),
and the internal libc_fe* will set either SSE for float, double, and float128
and i387 for long double (as expected).

The libgcc, however, will set either SEE or i387 depending of the exception.
This broke the assumption of libc_fe* for float128 where either SSE or i387
will be used.

One option might be to force libgcc to not use its __sfp_handle_exceptions
on x86_64 and provide one that uses only SEE operations since libgcc does 
not use 'long double' on float128 operations.  The patch below does it
and applied on top your patches shows no regressions.

And I think we should fix libgcc in a similar manner, since checking on
config/i386/64/sfp-machine.h it only support SSE rounding mode.

Great news. Thanks Adhemerval.
I've also successfully build and run the testsuite with your patch on 
top of mine and with only your patch without mine.

As e.g. __multf3 or __addtf3 is used in various f128 functions, can you 
please first commit your patch? Then I will add a reference to this 
commit id in the commit-message.

One other question: Why are the soft-fp functions (for add / multiply) 
called at all. Are the corresponding hardware instructions not available 
on all x86_64 machines? Or do we miss a compiler flag?

I will send a RFC for this patch, we need to check with x86 maintainers
if this the desirable direction and if I got everything right.

The float128 on gcc/x86_64 is implemented by soft-fp library in libgcc [1]
and its ABI passes arguments through SSE register [2].
