Reimplement RINT.<D|S> kernel emulation so that all RINT.<D|S> specifications are met. For the sake of simplicity, let's analyze RINT.S only. Prior to this patch, RINT.S emulation was essentially implemented as (in pseudocode) <output> = ieee754sp_flong(ieee754sp_tlong(<input>)), where ieee754sp_tlong() and ieee754sp_flong() are functions providing conversion from double to integer, and from integer to double, respectively. On surface, this implementation looks correct, but actually fails in many cases. Following problems were detected: 1. NaN and infinity cases will not be handled properly. The function ieee754sp_flong() never returns NaN nor infinity. 2. For RINT.S, for all inputs larger than LONG_MAX, and smaller than FLT_MAX, the result will be wrong, and the overflow exception will be erroneously set. A similar problem for negative inputs exists as well. 3. For some rounding modes, for some negative inputs close to zero, the return value will be zero, and should be -zero. This is because ieee754sp_flong() never returns -zero. This patch removes the problems above by implementing dedicated functions for RINT.<D|S> emulation. The core of the new function functionality is adapted version of the core of the function ieee754sp_tlong(). However, there are many details that are implemented to match RINT.<D|S> specification. It should be said that the functionality of ieee754sp_tlong() actually closely corresponds to CVT.L.S instruction, and it is used while emulating CVT.L.S. However, RINT.S and CVT.L.S instructions differ in many aspects. This patch fulfills missing support for RINT.<D|S>.

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.
