PowerPC: Add support for IEEE 128-bit format.
The test gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp fails on a gdb assert in function ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in file gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The assert is due to the missing IEEE 128-bit support in file gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The IBM long double was the initial float 128-bit support added by IBM The IEEE 128-bit support, which is similar IBM long double support, was made the default starting with GCC 12. The floating point format differences include the number of bits used to encode the exponent and significand. Also, IBM long double values are passed in a pair of floating point registers. The IEEE 128-bit value is passed in a single vector register. This patch fixes the gdb_assert (ok); in function ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c by adding IEEE FLOAT 128-bit type support for PowerPC. The patch has been tested on Power 10, ELFv2. It fixes the following list of regression failures on Power 10: gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp 192 gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp 76 gdb.base/structs.exp 9 The patch has been tested on Power 8 BE which is ELFv1.
