Series softfloat: Set 2-NaN propagation rule in float_status, not at compile time | expand

Commit Message

Peter Maydell Oct. 25, 2024, 2:12 p.m. UTC 
Set the 2-NaN propagation rule explicitly in the float_status words
we use.  We wrap this plus the pre-existing setting of the
tininess-before-rounding flag in a new function
arm_set_default_fp_behaviours() to avoid repetition, since we have a
lot of float_status words at this point.

The situation with FPA11 emulation in linux-user is a little odd, and
arguably "correct" behaviour there would be to exactly match a real
Linux kernel's FPA11 emulation.  However FPA11 emulation is
essentially dead at this point and so it seems better to continue
with QEMU's current behaviour and leave a comment describing the
situation.
