Hi,

We have decided to apply the following patch to the embedded-6-branch to fix naming of an ARM intrinsic.

ChangeLog entry is as follows:

2017-06-20  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudho...@arm.com>

        Backport from mainline
        2017-05-04  Prakhar Bahuguna  <prakhar.bahug...@arm.com>

        gcc/
        * gcc/config/arm/arm-builtins.c (arm_init_builtins): Rename
        __builtin_arm_ldfscr to __builtin_arm_get_fpscr, and rename
        __builtin_arm_stfscr to __builtin_arm_set_fpscr.

        gcc/testsuite/
        * gcc.target/arm/fpscr.c: New file.


Best regards,

Thomas

Hi Prakhar,
Sorry for the delay,

The GCC documentation in section 6.60.8 ARM Floating Point Status and Control
Intrinsics states that the FPSCR register can be read and written to using the
intrinsics __builtin_arm_get_fpscr and __builtin_arm_set_fpscr. However, these
are misnamed within GCC itself and these intrinsic names are not recognised.
This patch corrects the intrinsic names to match the documentation, and adds
tests to verify these intrinsics generate the correct instructions.

Testing done: Ran regression tests on arm-none-eabi for Cortex-M4.

Okay for stage 1?

I see that the mistake was in not addressing one of the review comments in:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-04/msg01832.html
properly in the patch that added these functions :(

This is ok for stage 1 if a bootstrap and test on arm-none-linux-gnueabihf 
works fine
I don't think we want to maintain the __builtin_arm_[ld,st]fscr names for 
backwards compatibility
as they were not documented and are __builtin_arm* functions that we don't 
guarantee to maintain.

Thanks,
Kyrill
