The CORE-MATH implementation is correctly rounded (for any rounding mode)
and shows better performance compared to the generic exp2m1f.
The code was adapted to glibc style and to use the definition of
math_config.h (to handle errno, overflow, and underflow). The
only change is to handle FLT_MAX_EXP for FE_DOWNWARD or FE_TOWARDZERO.
The benchmark inputs are based on exp2f ones.

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the logp1 functions (aliases for log1p functions - the
name is intended to be more consistent with the new log2p1 and
log10p1, where clearly it would have been very confusing to name those
functions log21p and log101p). As aliases rather than new functions,
the content of this patch is somewhat different from those actually
adding new functions.
Tests are shared with log1p, so this patch *does* mechanically update
all affected libm-test-ulps files to expect the same errors for both
functions.
The vector versions of log1p on aarch64 and x86_64 are *not* updated
to have logp1 aliases (and thus there are no corresponding header,
tests, abilist or ulps changes for vector functions either). It would
be reasonable for such vector aliases and corresponding changes to
other files to be made separately. For now, the log1p tests instead
avoid testing logp1 in the vector case (a Makefile change is needed to
avoid problems with grep, used in generating the .c files for vector
function tests, matching more than one ALL_RM_TEST line in a file
testing multiple functions with the same inputs, when it assumes that
the .inc file only has a single such line).
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
Instead of tying based on the linker name and version, check for the
required support:
* whether it does not generate dynamic TLS relocations in PIE
(binutils PR ld/22263);
* if it accepts --no-dynamic-linker (by using -static-pie);
* and if it adds a DT_JMPREL pointing to .rela.iplt with static pie.
The patch also trims the comments, for binutils one of the tests should
already cover it. The kernel ones are not clear which version should
have the backport, nor it is something that glibc can do much about
it. Finally, the glibc is somewhat confusing, since it refers
to commits not related to s390x.

The tunable parsing duplicates the tunable environment variable so it
null-terminates each one since it simplifies the later parsing. It has
the drawback of adding another point of failure (__minimal_malloc
failing), and the memory copy requires tuning the compiler to avoid mem
operations calls.
The parsing now tracks the tunable start and its size. The
dl-tunable-parse.h adds helper functions to help parsing, like a strcmp
that also checks for size and an iterator for suboptions that are
comma-separated (used on hwcap parsing by x86, powerpc, and s390x).
Since the environment variable is allocated on the stack by the kernel,
it is safe to keep the references to the suboptions for later parsing
of string tunables (as done by set_hwcaps by multiple architectures).

The linker just concatenates the .init and .fini sections which
results in the complete _init and _fini functions. If needed the
linker adds padding bytes due to an alignment. GNU ld is adding
NOPs, which is fine. But e.g. mold is adding traps which results
in broken _init and _fini functions.
Thus this patch removes the alignment in .init and .fini sections
in crtn.S files.
We keep the 4 byte function alignment in crti.S files. As the
assembler now also outputs the start of _init and _fini functions
as multiples of 4 byte, it perhaps has to fill it. Although GNU as
is using NOPs here, to be sure, we just keep the alignment with
0x07 (=NOPs) at the end of crti.S.
In order to avoid an obvious NOP slide in _fini, this patch also
uses an lg instead of lgr instruction. Then the emitted instructions
needs a multiple of 4 bytes.
The _dl_non_dynamic_init does not parse LD_PROFILE, which does not
enable profile for dlopen objects. Since dlopen is deprecated for
static objects, it is better to remove the support.
It also allows to trim down libc.a of profile support.

If feenableexcept or fedisableexcept gets excepts=FE_INVALID=0x80
as input, we have a signed left shift: 0x80 << 24 which is not
representable as int and thus is undefined behaviour according to
C standard.
This patch casts excepts as unsigned int before shifting, which is
defined.
For me, the observed undefined behaviour is that the shift is done
with "unsigned"-instructions, which is exactly what we want.
Furthermore, I don't get any exception-flags.
After the fix, the code is using the same instruction sequence as
before.
The static PIE configure check uses link tests. When bootstrapping
a cross-toolchain, the link tests fail due to missing crt-files /
libc.so. As we explicitely want to test an issue in binutils (ld),
we now also explicitely check for known linker versions.

Depending on build configuration, the [routine]-c.c files may be chosen
to provide fortified routines implementation. While [routines].c
implementation were automatically excluded, the [routines]-c.c ones were
not. This patch fixes that by adding these file to the list to be
filtered.
Some of the s390-specific configure checks are using compile and
link configure tests. Now use only compile tests as the link
tests fails when e.g. bootstrapping a cross-toolchain due to
missing crt-files/libc.so. This is achieved by using
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE in configure.ac file.
This is observable e.g. when using buildroot which builds glibc
only once or the build-many-glibcs.py script. Note that the latter
one is building glibc twice in the compilers-step (configure-checks
fails) and in the glibcs-step (configure-checks succeed).
Note, that the s390 specific configure tests for static PIE have to
link an executable to test binutils support. Thus we can't fix
those tests.
And make always supported. The configure option was added on glibc 2.25
and some features require it (such as hwcap mask, huge pages support, and
lock elisition tuning). It also simplifies the build permutations.

This patch enables the option to influence hwcaps and stfle bits used
by the s390 specific ifunc-resolvers. The currently x86-specific
tunable glibc.cpu.hwcaps is also used on s390x to achieve the task. In
addition the user can also set a CPU arch-level like z13 instead of
single HWCAP and STFLE features.
Note that the tunable only handles the features which are really used
in the IFUNC-resolvers. All others are ignored as the values are only
used inside glibc. Thus we can influence:
- HWCAP_S390_VXRS (z13)
- HWCAP_S390_VXRS_EXT (z14)
- HWCAP_S390_VXRS_EXT2 (z15)
- STFLE_MIE3 (z15)
The influenced hwcap/stfle-bits are stored in the s390-specific
cpu_features struct which also contains reserved fields for future
usage.
The ifunc-resolvers and users of stfle bits are adjusted to use the
information from cpu_features struct.
On 31bit, the ELF_MACHINE_IRELATIVE macro is now also defined.
Otherwise the new ifunc-resolvers segfaults as they depend on
the not yet processed_rtld_global_ro@GLIBC_PRIVATE relocation.
It also cleanups the multiple inclusion by leaving the ifunc
implementation to undef the weak_alias and libc_hidden_def.
