log1pf is quite register-intensive - use fewer registers for the
polynomial, and make various changes to shorten dependency chains in
parent routines. There is now no spilling with GCC 14. Accuracy moves
around a little - comments adjusted accordingly but does not require
regen-ulps.
Use the helper in log1pf as well, instead of having separate
implementations. The more accurate polynomial means special-casing can
be simplified, and the shorter dependency chain avoids the usual dance
around v0, which is otherwise difficult.
There is a small duplication of vectors containing 1.0f (or 0x3f800000) -
GCC is not currently able to efficiently handle values which fit in FMOV
but not MOVI, and are reinterpreted to integer. There may be potential
for more optimisation if this is fixed.

Reduce MOVPRFXs by using unpredicated (non-destructive) instructions
where possible. Similar to the recent change to AdvSIMD F32 logs,
adjust special-case arguments and bounds to allow for more optimal
register usage. For all 3 routines one MOVPRFX remains in the

Reduce MOV and MOVPRFX by improving special-case handling. Use inline
helper to duplicate the entire computation between the special- and
non-special case branches, removing the contention for z0 between x
and the return value.
Also rearrange some MLAs and MLSs - by making the multiplicand the
destination we can avoid a MOVPRFX in several cases. Also change which
constants go in the vector used for lanewise ops - the last lane is no
longer wasted.
Spotted that shift was incorrect in exp2f and exp10f, w.r.t. to the
comment that explains it. Fixed - worst-case ULP for exp2f moves
around but it doesn't change significantly for either routine.
Worst-case error for coshf increases due to passing x to exp rather
than abs(x) - updated the comment, but does not require regen-ulps.

Qualcom's new core, oryon-1, has a different characteristics for
memset than the current versions of memset. For non-zero, larger
sizes, using GPRs rather than the SIMD stores is ~30% faster.
For even larger sizes, using the nontemporal stores is needed
not to polute the L1/L2 caches.
For zero values, using `dc zva` should be used. Since we
know the size will always be 64 bytes, we don't need to figure
out the size there.
I started with the emag memset and added back the `dc zva` code.

Qualcomm's new core (oryon-1) has a different performance characteristic

For smaller sizes, the characteristic are very similar to

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.
The generic version provides weak definitions of memchr/strlen,
which are already provided by the ifunc resolvers.

Previously many routines used * to load from vector types stored
in the data table. This is emitted as ldr, which byte-swaps the
entire vector register, and causes bugs for big-endian when not
all lanes contain the same value. When a vector is to be used
this way, it has been replaced with an array and the load with an
explicit ld1 intrinsic, which byte-swaps only within lanes.
As well, many routines previously used non-standard GCC syntax
for vector operations such as indexing into vectors types with []
and assembling vectors using {}. This syntax should not be mixed
with ACLE, as the former does not respect endianness whereas the
latter does. Such examples have been replaced with, for instance,
vcombine_* and vgetq_lane* intrinsics. Helpers which only use the
GCC syntax, such as the v_call helpers, do not need changing as
they do not use intrinsics.

The 680c597e9c commit made loader reject ill-formatted strings by
first tracking all set tunables and then applying them. However, it does
not take into consideration if the same tunable is set multiple times,
where parse_tunables_string appends the found tunable without checking
if it was already in the list. It leads to a stack-based buffer overflow
if the tunable is specified more than the total number of tunables. For
instance:
GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.malloc.check=2:... (repeat over the number of
total support for different tunable).
Instead, use the index of the tunable list to get the expected tunable
entry. Since now the initial list is zero-initialized, the compiler
might emit an extra memset and this requires some minor adjustment
on some ports.

Old Linux kernels disable SVE after every system call. Calling the
SVE-optimized memcpy afterwards will then cause a trap to reenable SVE.
As a result, applications with a high use of syscalls may run slower with
the SVE memcpy. This is true for kernels between 4.15.0 and before 6.2.0,
except for 5.14.0 which was patched. Avoid this by checking the kernel
version and selecting the SVE ifunc on modern kernels.
Parse the kernel version reported by uname() into a 24-bit kernel.major.minor
value without calling any library functions. If uname() is not supported or
if the version format is not recognized, assume the kernel is modern.

The workaround is that explicit .arch directive overrides both -mcpu
