Based on new expf and exp2f code from
https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/
with wrapper on aarch64:
expf reciprocal-throughput: 2.3x faster
expf latency: 1.7x faster
without wrapper on aarch64:
expf reciprocal-throughput: 3.3x faster
expf latency: 1.7x faster
without wrapper on aarch64:
exp2f reciprocal-throughput: 2.8x faster
exp2f latency: 1.3x faster
libm.so size on aarch64:
.text size: -152 bytes
.rodata size: -1740 bytes
expf/exp2f worst case nearest rounding error: 0.502 ulp
worst case non-nearest rounding error: 1 ulp
Error checks are inline and errno setting is in separate tail called
functions, but the wrappers are kept in this patch to handle the
_LIB_VERSION==_SVID_ case. (So e.g. errno is set twice for expf calls
and once for __expf_finite calls on targets where the new code is used.)
Double precision arithmetics is used which is expected to be faster on
most targets (including soft-float) than using single precision and it
is easier to get good precision result with it.
Const data is kept in a separate translation unit which complicates
maintenance a bit, but is expected to give good code for literal loads
on most targets and allows sharing data across expf, exp2f and powf.
(This data is disabled on i386, m68k and ia64 which have their own
expf, exp2f and powf code.)
Some details may need target specific tweaks:
- best convert and round to int operation in the arg reduction may be
different across targets.
- code was optimized on fma target, optimal polynomial eval may be
different without fma.
- gcc does not always generate good code for fp bit representation
access via unions or it may be inherently slow on some targets.
The libm-test-ulps will need adjustment because..
- The argument reduction ideally uses nearest rounded rint, but that is
not efficient on most targets, so the polynomial can get evaluated on a
wider interval in non-nearest rounding mode making 1 ulp errors common
in that case.
- The polynomial is evaluated such that it may have 1 ulp error on
negative tiny inputs with upward rounding.

Various C90 and UNIX98 libm functions call feraiseexcept, which is not
in those standards. This causes linknamespace test failures - except
on x86 / x86_64, where feraiseexcept is inline (for the relevant
constant arguments) in bits/fenv.h.
This patch fixes this by making those functions call __feraiseexcept
instead. All changes are applied to all architectures rather than
considering the possibility that some might not be needed in some
cases (e.g. x86) as it seems most maintainable to keep architectures
consistent.
Where __feraiseexcept does not exist, it is added, with feraiseexcept
made a weak alias; where it is a strong alias, it is made weak.
libm_hidden_def / libm_hidden_proto are used with __feraiseexcept
(this might in some cases improve code generation for existing calls
to __feraiseexcept in some code on some architectures). Where there
are dummy feraiseexcept macros (on architectures without
floating-point exceptions support, to avoid compile errors from
references to undefined FE_* macros), corresponding dummy
__feraiseexcept macros are added. And on x86, to ensure
__feraiseexcept calls still get inlined, the inline function in
bits/fenv.h is refactored so that most of it can be reused in an
inline __feraiseexcept in a separate include/bits/fenv.h.
Calls are changed in C90/UNIX98 functions, but generally not in
functions missing from those standards. They are also changed in
libc_fe* functions (on the basis that those might be used in any libm
function), and in feupdateenv (on the same basis - may be used, via
default libc_*, in any libm function - of course feupdateenv will need
changing to __feupdateenv in a subsequent patch to make that fully
namespace-clean).
No __feraiseexcept is added corresponding to the feraiseexcept in
powerpc bits/fenvinline.h, because that macro definition is
conditional on !defined __NO_MATH_INLINES, and glibc libm is built
with -D__NO_MATH_INLINES, so changing internal calls to use
__feraiseexcept should make no difference.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite; the only change in disassembly of
installed shared libraries is a slight code reordering in clog10, of
no apparent significance). Also tested for MIPS, where (in the
configuration tested) it eliminates math.h linknamespace failures for
n32 and n64 (some for o32 remain because of other issues).

further optimization. libc_feholdsetround_aarch64_ctx now only needs to
read the FPCR in the typical case, avoiding a redundant FPSR read.
Performance results show a good improvement (5-10% on sin()) on cores with
expensive FPCR/FPSR instructions.
