The error handling is moved to sysdeps/ieee754 version with no SVID
support. The compatibility symbol versions still use the wrapper
with SVID error handling around the new code. There is no new symbol
version nor compatibility code on !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT targets
(e.g. riscv).
The ia64 is unchanged, since it still uses the arch specific
__libm_error_region on its implementation. For both i686 and m68k,
which provive arch specific implementation, wrappers are added so
no new symbol are added (which would require to change the
implementations).
It shows an small improvement, the results for fmod:

Ideally sign should be bool, but sometimes (e.g. in powf) it's more
efficient to pass a non-zero value than 1 to indicate that the sign
should be set. The fixed size int is less ambigous than unsigned
long.

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.
