Similar to various other bugs in this area, some expm1 implementations
do not raise the underflow exception for subnormal arguments, when the
result is tiny and inexact. This patch forces the exception in a
similar way to previous fixes.
(The issue does not apply to the ldbl-* implementations or to those
for x86 / x86_64 long double. The change to
sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/wordsize-64/e_cosh.c is one I missed when
previously fixing bug 16354; the bug in that implementation was
previously latent, but the expm1 fixes stopped it being latent and so
required it to be fixed to avoid spurious underflows from cosh.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86.
[BZ #16353]
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1.S (dbl_min): New object.
(__expm1): Force underflow exception for arguments with small
absolute value.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1f.S (flt_min): New object.
(__expm1f): Force underflow exception for arguments with small
absolute value.
* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/s_expm1.c: Include <float.h>.
(__expm1): Force underflow exception for arguments with small
absolute value.
* sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/s_expm1f.c: Include <float.h>.
(__expm1f): Force underflow exception for arguments with small
absolute value.
* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/wordsize-64/e_cosh.c (__ieee754_cosh):
Check for small arguments before calling __expm1.
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Do not mark underflow exceptions as
possibly missing for bug 16353.
* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
Bug 16293 is inaccuracy of x86/x86_64 versions of expm1, near 0 in
directed rounding modes, that arises from frndint rounding the
exponent to 1 or -1 instead of 0, resulting in large cancellation
error. This inaccuracy in turn affects other functions such as sinh
that use expm1. This patch fixes the problem by setting
round-to-nearest mode temporarily around the affected calls to
frndint. I don't think this is needed for other uses of frndint, such
as in exp itself, as only for expm1 is the cancellation error
significant.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]: Set
round-to-nearest mode when using frndint.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1.S (__expm1): Likewise.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1f.S (__expm1f): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]:
Likewise.
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of expm1. Do not expect
sinh test to fail.
* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
* math/libm-test.inc (TEST_COND_x86_64): Remove macro.
(TEST_COND_x86): Likewise.

(expm1_test_tonearest): New function.
(expm1_towardzero_test_data): New array.
(expm1_test_towardzero): New function.
