On powerpc32 hard-float, older processors (ones where fcfid is not
available for 32-bit code), GCC generates conversions from integers to
floating point that wrongly convert integer 0 to -0 instead of +0 in
FE_DOWNWARD mode. This in turn results in logb and a few other
functions wrongly returning -0 when they should return +0.
This patch works around this issue in glibc as I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-09/msg00728.html>, so that
the affected functions can be correct and the affected tests pass in
the absence of a GCC fix for this longstanding issue (GCC bug 67771 -
if fixed, of course we can put in GCC version conditionals, and
eventually phase out the workarounds). A new macro
FIX_INT_FP_CONVERT_ZERO is added in a new sysdeps header
fix-int-fp-convert-zero.h, and the powerpc32/fpu version of that
header defines the macro based on the results of a configure test for
whether such conversions use the fcfid instruction.
Tested for x86_64 (that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch) and powerpc (that HAVE_PPC_FCFID comes out to
0 as expected and that the relevant tests are fixed). Also tested a
build with GCC configured for -mcpu=power4 and verified that
HAVE_PPC_FCFID comes out to 1 in that case.
There are still some other issues to fix to get test-float and
test-double passing cleanly for older powerpc32 processors (apart from
the need for an ulps regeneration for powerpc). (test-ldouble will be
harder to get passing cleanly, but with a combination of selected
fixes to ldbl-128ibm code that don't involve significant performance
issues, allowing spurious underflow and inexact exceptions for that
format, and lots of XFAILing for the default case of unpatched libgcc,
it should be doable.)

Where glibc code needs to avoid excess range and precision in
floating-point arithmetic, code variously uses either asms or volatile
to force the results of that arithmetic to memory; mostly this is
conditional on FLT_EVAL_METHOD, but in the case of lrint / llrint
functions some use of volatile is unconditional (and is present
unnecessarily in versions for long double). This patch make such code
use the recently-added math_narrow_eval macro consistently, removing
the unnecessary uses of volatile in long double lrint / llrint
implementations completely.

The flt-32 implementation of erfcf produces spurious underflow
exceptions for some arguments close to 0, because of calculations
squaring the argument and then multiplying by small constants. This
patch fixes this by adjusting the threshold for arguments for which
the result is so close to 1 that 1 - x will give the right result from
2**-56 to 2**-26. (If 1 - x * 2/sqrt(pi) were used, the errors would be
on the order of x^3 and a much larger threshold could be used.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

Bug 16516 reports spurious underflows from erf (for all floating-point
types), when the result is close to underflowing but does not actually
underflow.
erf (x) is about (2/sqrt(pi))*x for x close to 0, so there are
subnormal arguments for which it does not underflow. The various
implementations do (x + efx*x) (for efx = 2/sqrt(pi) - 1), for greater
accuracy than if just using a single multiplication by an
approximation to 2/sqrt(pi) (effectively, this way there are a few
more bits in the approximation to 2/sqrt(pi)). This can introduce
underflows when efx*x underflows even though the final result does
not, so a scaled calculation with 8*efx is done in these cases - but 8
is not a big enough scale factor to avoid all such underflows. 16 is
(any underflows with a scale factor of 16 would only occur when the
final result underflows), so this patch changes the code to use that
factor. Rather than recomputing all the values of the efx8 variable,
it is removed, leaving it to the compiler's constant folding to
compute 16*efx. As such scaling can also lose underflows when the
final scaling down happens to be exact, appropriate checks are added
to ensure underflow exceptions occur when required in such cases.
Tested x86_64 and x86; no ulps updates needed. Also spot-checked for
powerpc32 and mips64 to verify the changes to the ldbl-128ibm and
ldbl-128 implementations.
