On running tests after from-scratch ulps regeneration, I found that
some libm tests failed with ulps in excess of those recorded in the
from-scratch regeneration, which should never happen unless those ulps
exceed the limit on ulps that can go in libm-test-ulps files.
Failure: Test: atan2_upward (inf, -inf)
Result:
is: 2.35619498e+00 0x1.2d97ccp+1

ulp : 2.0000
max.ulp : 1.0000
Maximal error of `atan2_upward'
is : 2 ulp

Failure: Test: carg_upward (-inf + inf i)

The problem comes from the addition of tests for the finite-math-only
versions of libm functions. Those tests share ulps with the default
function variants. make regen-ulps runs the default tests before the
finite-math-only tests, concatenating the resulting ulps before
feeding them to gen-libm-test.pl to generate a new libm-test-ulps
file. But gen-libm-test.pl always takes the last ulps value given for
any (function, type) pair. So, if the largest ulps for a function
come from non-finite inputs, a from-scratch regeneration loses those
ulps.
This patch fixes gen-libm-test.pl, in the case where there are
multiple ulps values for a (function, type) pair - which can only
happen as part of a regeneration - to take the largest ulps value
rather than the last one.
Tested for ARM / MIPS / powerpc-nofpu.

already-recorded ulps.

This patch regenerates libm-test-ulps for ARM. As before it may be
useful for someone building for a configuration with VFMA enabled to
do a followup regeneration for any additional ulps in that
configuration.
Committed.
* sysdeps/arm/libm-test-ulps: Regenerated.
As recently discussed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00670.html>, it
doesn't seem particularly useful for libm-test-ulps files to contain
huge amounts of data on ulps for individual tests; just the global
maximum observed ulps for each function, together with the
verification of exceptions, errno and special results such as
infinities and NaNs for each test, suffices to verify that a
function's behavior on the given test inputs is within the expected
accuracy. Removing this data reduces source tree churn caused by
updates to these files when libm tests are added, and reduces the
frequency with which testsuite additions actually need libm-test-ulps
changes at all.
Accordingly, this patch removes that data, so that individual tests
get checked against the global bounds for the given function and only
generate an error if those are exceeded. Tested x86_64 (including
verifying that if an ulps value is artificially reduced, the tests do
indeed fail as they should and "make regen-ulps" generates the
expected changes).

I've moved the ARM port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/arm sysdeps/arm
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/arm sysdeps/unix/arm
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.arm similar to that at the top of
ChangeLog.powerpc. There is deliberately no NEWS change, as I think
it makes the most sense to put in a general note above all ports
having moved if we can achieve that for 2.20.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for arm is the
same before and after this patch, except for data (not instructions)
in ld.so (there are assertions in sysdeps/arm/dl-machine.h, and the
path by which that file is found, and so by which it appears in the
assertion message, changes as a result of the move).
* sysdeps/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/arm.
* sysdeps/unix/arm: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/arm.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm: Move directory from
ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm.
* README: Update listing for arm-*-linux-gnueabi.
ports/ChangeLog.arm:
* sysdeps/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps/arm.
* sysdeps/unix/arm: Move directory to ../sysdeps.arm.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm: Move directory to
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm.
