The default sysdeps/ieee754 fma implementations rely on exceptions and
rounding modes to achieve correct results through internal use of
round-to-odd. Thus, glibc configurations without support for
exceptions and rounding modes instead need to use implementations of
fma based on soft-fp.
At present, this is achieved via having implementation files in
soft-fp/ that are #included by sysdeps files for each glibc
configuration that needs them. In general this means such a
configuration has its own s_fma.c and s_fmaf.c.
TS 18661-1 adds functions that do an operation (+ - * / sqrt fma) on
arguments wider than the return type, with a single rounding of the
infinite-precision result to that return type. These are also
naturally implemented using round-to-odd on platforms with hardware
support for rounding modes and exceptions but lacking hardware support
for these narrowing operations themselves. (Platforms that have
direct hardware support for such narrowing operations include at least
ia64, and Power ISA 2.07 or later, which I think means POWER8 or
later.)
So adding the remaining TS 18661-1 functions would mean at least six
narrowing function implementations (fadd fsub fmul fdiv ffma fsqrt),
with aliases for other types and further implementations in some
configurations, that need to be overridden for configurations lacking
hardware exceptions and rounding modes. Requiring all such
configurations (currently seven of them) to have their own source
files for all those functions seems undesirable.
Thus, this patch adds a directory sysdeps/ieee754/soft-fp to contain
libm function implementations based on soft-fp. This directory is
then used via Implies from all the configurations that need it, so no
more files need adding to every such configuration when adding more
functions with soft-fp implementations. A configuration can still
selectively #include a particular file from this directory if desired;
thus, the MIPS #include of the fmal implementation is retained, since
that's appropriate even for hard float (because long double is always
implementated in software for MIPS64, so the soft-fp implementation of
fmal is better than the ldbl-128 one).
This also provides additional motivation for my recent patch removing
--with-fp / --without-fp: previously there was no need for correct use
of --without-fp for no-FPU ARM or SH3, and now we have autodetection
nofpu/ sysdeps directories can be used by this patch for those
configurations without imposing any new requirements on how glibc is
configured.
(The mips64/*/fpu/s_fma.c files added by this patch are needed to keep
the dbl-64 version of fma for double, rather than the ldbl-128 one,
used in that case.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by this patch.

In a microMIPS compilation of `.init' code use the R_MICROMIPS_JALR
relocation intended for PIC call relaxation in microMIPS code rather
than the corresponding R_MIPS_JALR relocation meant for regular MIPS
code only.

Avoid a build error with microMIPS compilation and recent versions of
GAS which complain if a branch targets a label which is marked as data
rather than microMIPS code:
../sysdeps/mips/mips32/crti.S: Assembler messages:
../sysdeps/mips/mips32/crti.S:72: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
make[2]: *** [.../csu/crti.o] Error 1
as commit 9d862524f6ae ("MIPS: Verify the ISA mode and alignment of
branch and jump targets") closed a hole in branch processing, making
relocation calculation respect the ISA mode of the symbol referred.
This allowed diagnosing the situation where an attempt is made to pass
control from code assembled for one ISA mode to code assembled for a
different ISA mode and either relaxing the branch to a cross-mode jump
or if that is not possible, then reporting this as an error rather than
letting such code build and then fail unpredictably at the run time.
This however requires the correct annotation of branch targets as code,
because the ISA mode is not relevant for data symbols and is therefore
not recorded for them. The `.insn' pseudo-op is used for this purpose
and has been supported by GAS since:
Wed Feb 12 14:36:29 1997 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* config/tc-mips.c (mips_pseudo_table): Add "insn".
(s_insn): New static function.
* doc/c-mips.texi: Document .insn.
so there has been no reason to avoid it where required. More recently
this pseudo-op has been documented, by the microMIPS architecture
specification[1][2], as required for the correct interpretation of any
code label which is not followed by an actual instruction in an assembly
source.
Use it in our crti.S files then, to mark that the trailing label there
with no instructions following is indeed not a code bug and the branch
is legitimate.

As noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00369.html>, soft-fp
sysdeps subdirectories (and more generally, subdirectories where
sysdeps/foo/Implies contains foo/bar) are unnecessary and should be
eliminated. This patch does so for MIPS.
Tested for MIPS64 (all three ABIs, soft-float) that installed stripped
shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.

I've moved the MIPS port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.mips similar to those in other files.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for mips is the
same before and after this patch (except for ld.so where paths in
assertions are involved, as for arm).
