[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] softfloat: enforce softfloat if the host's FMA is broken

2018-12-24 Thread Emilio G. Cota
The added branch to the FMA ops is marked as unlikely and therefore its impact on performance (measured with fp-bench) is within noise range when measured on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6142 CPU @ 2.60GHz. In addition, when the host doesn't have a hardware FMA instruction we force the use of
