This implementation is based on 'An Improved Algorithm for hypot(a,b)'
by Carlos F. Borges [1] using the MyHypot3 with the following changes:
- Handle qNaN and sNaN.
- Tune the 'widely varying operands' to avoid spurious underflow
due the multiplication and fix the return value for upwards
rounding mode.
- Handle required underflow exception for subnormal results.
The main advantage of the new algorithm is its precision. With a
random 1e9 input pairs in the range of [LDBL_MIN, LDBL_MAX], glibc
current implementation shows around 0.05% results with an error of
1 ulp (453266 results) while the new implementation only shows
0.0001% of total (1280).
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

C2X adds new <math.h> functions for floating-point maximum and
minimum, corresponding to the new operations that were added in IEEE
754-2019 because of concerns about the old operations not being
associative in the presence of signaling NaNs. fmaximum and fminimum
handle NaNs like most <math.h> functions (any NaN argument means the
result is a quiet NaN). fmaximum_num and fminimum_num handle both
quiet and signaling NaNs the way fmax and fmin handle quiet NaNs (if
one argument is a number and the other is a NaN, return the number),
but still raise "invalid" for a signaling NaN argument, making them
exceptions to the normal rule that a function with a floating-point
result raising "invalid" also returns a quiet NaN. fmaximum_mag,
fminimum_mag, fmaximum_mag_num and fminimum_mag_num are corresponding
functions returning the argument with greatest or least absolute
value. All these functions also treat +0 as greater than -0. There
are also corresponding <tgmath.h> type-generic macros.
Add these functions to glibc. The implementations use type-generic
templates based on those for fmax, fmin, fmaxmag and fminmag, and test
inputs are based on those for those functions with appropriate
adjustments to the expected results. The RISC-V maintainers might
wish to add optimized versions of fmaximum_num and fminimum_num (for
float and double), since RISC-V (F extension version 2.2 and later)
provides instructions corresponding to those functions - though it
might be at least as useful to add architecture-independent built-in
functions to GCC and teach the RISC-V back end to expand those
functions inline, which is what you generally want for functions that
can be implemented with a single instruction.
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

Fixes: b3f27d8150 ("Add narrowing fma functions")
This patch adds the narrowing fused multiply-add functions from TS
18661-1 / TS 18661-3 / C2X to glibc's libm: ffma, ffmal, dfmal,
f32fmaf64, f32fmaf32x, f32xfmaf64 for all configurations; f32fmaf64x,
f32fmaf128, f64fmaf64x, f64fmaf128, f32xfmaf64x, f32xfmaf128,
f64xfmaf128 for configurations with _Float64x and _Float128;
__f32fmaieee128 and __f64fmaieee128 aliases in the powerpc64le case
(for calls to ffmal and dfmal when long double is IEEE binary128).
Corresponding tgmath.h macro support is also added.
The changes are mostly similar to those for the other narrowing
functions previously added, especially that for sqrt, so the
description of those generally applies to this patch as well. As with
sqrt, I reused the same test inputs in auto-libm-test-in as for
non-narrowing fma rather than adding extra or separate inputs for
narrowing fma. The tests in libm-test-narrow-fma.inc also follow
those for non-narrowing fma.
The non-narrowing fma has a known bug (bug 6801) that it does not set
errno on errors (overflow, underflow, Inf * 0, Inf - Inf). Rather
than fixing this or having narrowing fma check for errors when
non-narrowing does not (complicating the cases when narrowing fma can
otherwise be an alias for a non-narrowing function), this patch does
not attempt to check for errors from narrowing fma and set errno; the
CHECK_NARROW_FMA macro is still present, but as a placeholder that
does nothing, and this missing errno setting is considered to be
covered by the existing bug rather than needing a separate open bug.
missing-errno annotations are duly added to many of the
auto-libm-test-in test inputs for fma.
This completes adding all the new functions from TS 18661-1 to glibc,
so will be followed by corresponding stdc-predef.h changes to define
__STDC_IEC_60559_BFP__ and __STDC_IEC_60559_COMPLEX__, as the support
for TS 18661-1 will be at a similar level to that for C standard
floating-point facilities up to C11 (pragmas not implemented, but
library functions done). (There are still further changes to be done
to implement changes to the types of fromfp functions from N2548.)
Tested as followed: natively with the full glibc testsuite for x86_64
(GCC 11, 7, 6) and x86 (GCC 11); with build-many-glibcs.py with GCC
11, 7 and 6; cross testing of math/ tests for powerpc64le, powerpc32
hard float, mips64 (all three ABIs, both hard and soft float). The
different GCC versions are to cover the different cases in tgmath.h
and tgmath.h tests properly (GCC 6 has _Float* only as typedefs in
glibc headers, GCC 7 has proper _Float* support, GCC 8 adds
__builtin_tgmath).
As described in bug 28358, the round-to-odd computations used in the
libm functions that round their results to a narrower format can yield
spurious underflow exceptions in the following circumstances: the
narrowing only narrows the precision of the type and not the exponent
range (i.e., it's narrowing _Float128 to _Float64x on x86_64, x86 or
ia64), the architecture does after-rounding tininess detection (which
applies to all those architectures), the result is inexact, tiny
before rounding but not tiny after rounding (with the chosen rounding
mode) for _Float64x (which is possible for narrowing mul, div and fma,
not for narrowing add, sub or sqrt), so the underflow exception
resulting from the toward-zero computation in _Float128 is spurious
for _Float64x.
Fixed by making ROUND_TO_ODD call feclearexcept (FE_UNDERFLOW) in the
problem cases (as indicated by an extra argument to the macro); there
is never any need to preserve underflow exceptions from this part of
the computation, because the conversion of the round-to-odd value to
the narrower type will underflow in exactly the cases in which the
function should raise that exception, but it may be more efficient to
avoid the extra manipulation of the floating-point environment when
not needed.
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
include/math.h has a mechanism to redirect internal calls to various
libm functions, that can often be inlined by the compiler, to call
non-exported __* names for those functions in the case when the calls
aren't inlined, with the redirection being disabled when
NO_MATH_REDIRECT. Add fma to the functions to which this mechanism is
applied.
At present, libm-internal fma calls (generally to __builtin_fma*
functions) are only done when it's known the call will be inlined,
with alternative code not relying on an fma operation being used in
the caller otherwise. This patch is in preparation for adding the TS
18661 / C2X narrowing fma functions to glibc; it will be natural for
the narrowing function implementations to call the underlying fma
functions unconditionally, with this either being inlined or resulting
in an __fma* call. (Using two levels of round-to-odd computation like
that, in the case where there isn't an fma hardware instruction, isn't
optimal but is certainly a lot simpler for the initial implementation
than writing different narrowing fma implementations for all the
various pairs of formats.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch (using
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-September/130991.html>
to fix installed library stripping in build-many-glibcs.py). Also
tested for x86_64.
This patch adds the narrowing square root functions from TS 18661-1 /
TS 18661-3 / C2X to glibc's libm: fsqrt, fsqrtl, dsqrtl, f32sqrtf64,
f32sqrtf32x, f32xsqrtf64 for all configurations; f32sqrtf64x,
f32sqrtf128, f64sqrtf64x, f64sqrtf128, f32xsqrtf64x, f32xsqrtf128,
f64xsqrtf128 for configurations with _Float64x and _Float128;
__f32sqrtieee128 and __f64sqrtieee128 aliases in the powerpc64le case
(for calls to fsqrtl and dsqrtl when long double is IEEE binary128).
Corresponding tgmath.h macro support is also added.
The changes are mostly similar to those for the other narrowing
functions previously added, so the description of those generally
applies to this patch as well. However, the not-actually-narrowing
cases (where the two types involved in the function have the same
floating-point format) are aliased to sqrt, sqrtl or sqrtf128 rather
than needing a separately built not-actually-narrowing function such
as was needed for add / sub / mul / div. Thus, there is no
__nldbl_dsqrtl name for ldbl-opt because no such name was needed
(whereas the other functions needed such a name since the only other
name for that entry point was e.g. f32xaddf64, not reserved by TS
18661-1); the headers are made to arrange for sqrt to be called in
that case instead.
The DIAG_* calls in sysdeps/ieee754/soft-fp/s_dsqrtl.c are because
they were observed to be needed in GCC 7 testing of
riscv32-linux-gnu-rv32imac-ilp32. The other sysdeps/ieee754/soft-fp/
files added didn't need such DIAG_* in any configuration I tested with
build-many-glibcs.py, but if they do turn out to be needed in more
files with some other configuration / GCC version, they can always be
added there.
I reused the same test inputs in auto-libm-test-in as for
non-narrowing sqrt rather than adding extra or separate inputs for
narrowing sqrt. The tests in libm-test-narrow-sqrt.inc also follow
those for non-narrowing sqrt.
Tested as followed: natively with the full glibc testsuite for x86_64

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

asin and acos have slow paths for rounding the last bit that cause some
calls to be 500-1500x slower than average calls.
These slow paths are rare, a test of a trillion (1.000.000.000.000)
random inputs between -1 and 1 showed 32870 slow calls for acos and 4473
for asin, with most occurrences between -1.0 .. -0.9 and 0.9 .. 1.0.
The slow paths claim correct rounding and use __sin32() and __cos32()
(which compare two result candidates and return the closest one) as the
final step, with the second result candidate (res1) having a small offset
applied from res. This suggests that res and res1 are intended to be 1
ULP apart (which makes sense for rounding), barring bugs, allowing us to
pick either one and still remain within 1 ULP of the exact result.
Remove the slow paths as the accuracy is better than 1 ULP even without
them, which is enough for glibc.
Also remove code comments claiming correctly rounded results.
After slow path removal, checking the accuracy of 14.400.000.000 random
asin() and acos() inputs showed only three incorrectly rounded
(error > 0.5 ULP) results:
- asin(-0x1.ee2b43286db75p-1) (0.500002 ULP, same as before)
- asin(-0x1.f692ba202abcp-4) (0.500003 ULP, same as before)
- asin(-0x1.9915e876fc062p-1) (0.50000000001 ULP, previously exact)
The first two had the same error even before this commit, and they did
not use the slow path at all.
Checking 4934 known randomly found previously-slow-path asin inputs
shows 25 calls with incorrectly rounded results, with a maximum error of
0.500000002 ULP (for 0x1.fcd5742999ab8p-1). The previous slow-path code
rounded all these inputs correctly (error < 0.5 ULP).
The observed average speed increase was 130x.
Checking 36240 known randomly found previously-slow-path acos inputs
shows 42 calls with incorrectly rounded results, with a maximum error of
0.500000008 ULP (for 0x1.f63845056f35ep-1). The previous "exact"
slow-path code showed 34 calls with incorrectly rounded results, with the
same maximum error of 0.500000008 ULP (for 0x1.f63845056f35ep-1).
The observed average speed increase was 130x.
The functions could likely be trimmed more while keeping acceptable
accuracy, but this at least gets rid of the egregiously slow cases.

In TS 18661-1, getpayload had an unspecified return value for a
non-NaN argument, while C2x requires the return value -1 in that case.
This patch implements the return value of -1. I don't think this is
worth having a new symbol version that's an alias of the old one,
although occasionally we do that in such cases where the new function
semantics are a refinement of the old ones (to avoid programs relying
on the new semantics running on older glibc versions but not behaving
as intended).
Tested for x86_64 and x86; also ran math/ tests for aarch64 and
powerpc.
This patch changes the exp10f error handling semantics to only set
errno according to POSIX rules. New symbol version is introduced at
GLIBC_2.32. The old wrappers are kept for compat symbols.
There are some outliers that need special handling:
- ia64 provides an optimized implementation of exp10f that uses ia64
specific routines to set SVID compatibility. The new symbol version
is aliased to the exp10f one.
- m68k also provides an optimized implementation, and the new version
uses it instead of the sysdeps/ieee754/flt32 one.
- riscv and csky uses the generic template implementation that
does not provide SVID support. For both cases a new exp10f
version is not added, but rather the symbols version of the
generic sysdeps/ieee754/flt32 is adjusted instead.
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu,
powerpc64le-linux-gnu.
It is inspired by expf and reuses its tables and internal functions.
The error checks are inlined and errno setting is in separate tail
called functions, but the wrappers are kept in this patch to handle
the _LIB_VERSION==_SVID_ case.
Double precision arithmetics is used which is expected to be faster on
most targets (including soft-float) than using single precision and it

This came to light when adding hard-flaot support to ARC glibc port
without hardware sqrt support causing glibc build to fail:
| ../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_sqrt.c: In function '__ieee754_sqrt':
| ../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_sqrt.c:58:54: error: unused variable 'ty' [-Werror=unused-variable]
| double y, t, del, res, res1, hy, z, zz, p, hx, tx, ty, s;
The reason being EMULV() macro uses the hardware provided
__builtin_fma() variant, leaving temporary variables 'p, hx, tx, hy, ty'
unused hence compiler warning and ensuing error.
The intent of the patch was to fix that error, but EMULV is pervasive
and used fair bit indirectly via othe rmacros, hence this patch.
Functionally it should not result in code gen changes and if at all
those would be better since the scope of those temporaries is greatly
reduced now

The minimum GCC version has been raised to 6.2 for building
glibc. Therefore, follow the advice inside the implementation
and remove the GCC < 6 codepath.
Likewise, remove the hidden_proto as all internal usages should
inline now.
GCC 7.5.0 (PR94200) will refuse to compile if both -mabi=% and
-mlong-double-128 are passed on the command line. Surprisingly,
it will work happily if the latter is not. For the sake of
maintaining status quo, test for and blacklist such compilers.
Tested with a GCC 8.3.1 and GCC 7.5.0 compiler for ppc64le.

Improve the commentary to aid future developers who will stumble
upon this novel, yet not always perfect, mechanism to support
alternative formats for long double.
Likewise, rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to
__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI now that development work
has settled down. The command used was
git grep -l __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 ':!./ChangeLog*' | \
xargs sed -i 's/__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128/__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI/g'

The test for enabling _Float128 or IEEE 128 long double can be
greatly simplified knowing that there is no ibm128, thus we require
no special cases, and everything is canonical.
This reverts the changes to ldbl-128ibm iscanonical.h from commit
8dbfea3a20 and extends the check
for __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH to include a check for float128 redirects
to long double.

This better resembles the default linking process with the gnulibs,
and also resolves the increasingly difficult to maintain
f128-loader-link usage on powerpc64le as some libgcc symbols are
dependent on those found in the loader (ld).
