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
is easier to get good precision result with 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

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).
Tweak the PLT bypass magic when building glibc with long double
redirects. This is made more difficult by the fact we only get
one chance to redirect functions. This happens via the public
headers.
There are roughly three classes of redirect we need to attend to
today:
1. Simple redirects, redirected via cdef macro overrides and
and new libc_hidden_ldbl_proto macro.
2. Internal usage of internal API, e.g __snprintf, which has
no direct analogue. This is bypassed directly on case-by-
case basis.
3. Double redirects, e.g sscanf and related. These require
a heavier handed approach of macro renaming to existing
symbols.
Most simple redirects are handled via 1. Ideally, the libc_*
macro would live in libc-symbols.h, but in practice the macros
needed for it to do anything useful live in cdefs.h, so they
are defined in the local override.
Notably, the internal name of the asprintf generated for ieee ldbl
redirects is renamed to work with internal prefixed usage.
This resolves the local plt usage introduced when building glibc
with ldbl == ieee128 on ppc64le.

For lack of a more comprehensive solution, tack on the ibm128 ABI
compiler options for the totalorder{,mag}l compat tests which exist
prior to enabling this feature.
The functions in the nexttoward family are special, in the sense that
they always have a long double argument, regardless of their suffix
(i.e.: nexttowardf and nexttoward have a long double argument, besides
the float and double arguments).
On top of that, they are also special because nexttoward functions are
not part of the _FloatN API, hence __nexttowardf128 do not exist.
This patch adds 4 new function implementations for the new long double
format:
__nexttoward_to_ieee128
__nexttowardf_to_ieee128
__nexttowardieee128 (as an alias to __nextafterieee128)

Modify the headers to redirect long double functions to global __*f128
symbols or to __*ieee128 otherwise.
Most of the functions in math.h benefit from the infrastructure already
available for __LDBL_COMPAT. The only exceptions are nexttowardf and
nexttoward that need especial treatment.
Both math/bits/mathcalls-helper-functions.h and math/bits/mathcalls.h
were modified in order to provide alternative redirection destinations
that are essential to support functions that should not be redirected to
the same name pattern of the rest of the functions, i.e.: __fpclassify,
__signbit, __iseqsig, __issignaling, isinf, finite and isnan, which will
be redirected to __*f128 instead of __*ieee128 used for the rest.
Instead of attempting something more creative, just copy
the small struct from ldbl-128 and enable it when IEEE
long double is present, and update the ibm long double
variant if supported.
Likewise, provide a shadow copy of math_ldbl.h to prevent
the ibm128 specific long double header from poisoning
unrelated files due to it's usage in math_private.h.

We want to ensure that if a second file is built to support
ieee128 long double, we built its companion implementation
with ibm128 long double. The shared object versions of these
files build correctly because the aliasing is sufficiently
complex to prevent the redirects from applying when defining
them.
However, this does not prevent the static object variants
from becoming quietly broken due to redirects. This is
intentionally avoided by marking such objects to be built
with -mabi=ibmlongdouble.
Shuffle the misplaced routines to build against the subdir
which defines the needed symbols.
A number of utility files and helper objects should also be
explicitly configured to build with the ibm128 ABI to prevent
gremlins when enabling IEEE long double.
Move the narrow math aliasing macros into a new sysdep header file
math-narrow-alias-float128.h. Then, provide an override header
to supply the necessary changes to supply the *ieee128 aliases of
these symbols.
This adds ieee128 aliases for faddl, fdivl, fmull, fsubl, daddl, ddivl,
dmull, dsubl.
After defining the long double redirections to double, __MATHDECL_1 has
to be redefined to its previous state in order to avoid redirecting all
subsequent types.
Reuse the template in order to provide the redirect for
scalbl to __scalbieee128, but avoid any extra aliasing
as this is intended to support long double redirects only.
This is a preparatory patch to enable building a _Float128
variant to ease reuse when building a _Float128 variant to
alias this long double only symbol.
Notably, stubs are added where missing to the native _Float128
sysdep dir to prevent building these newly templated variants
created inside the build directories.
Also noteworthy are the changes around LIBM_SVID_COMPAT. These
changes are not intuitive. The templated version is only
enabled when !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT, and the compat version is
predicated entirely on LIBM_SVID_COMPAT. Thus, exactly one is
stubbed out entirely when building. The nldbl scalb compat
files are updated to account for this.
Likewise, fixup the reuse of m68k's e_scalb{f,l}.c to include
it's override of e_scalb.c. Otherwise, the search path finds
the templated copy in the build directory. This could be
futher simplified by providing an overridden template, but I
lack the hardware to verify.
A recent discussion in bug 14469 notes that a threshold in float
Bessel function implementations, used to determine when to use a
simpler implementation approach, results in substantially inaccurate
results.
As I discussed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-03/msg00345.html>, a
heuristic argument suggests 2^(S+P) as the right order of magnitude
for a suitable threshold, where S is the number of significand bits in
the floating-point type and P is the number of significant bits in the
representation of the floating-point type, and the float and ldbl-96
implementations use thresholds that are too small. Some threshold
does need using, there or elsewhere in the implementation, to avoid
spurious underflow and overflow for large arguments.
This patch sets the thresholds in the affected implementations to more
heuristically justifiable values. Results will still be inaccurate
close to zeroes of the functions (thus this patch does *not* fix any
of the bugs for Bessel function inaccuracy); fixing that would require
a different implementation approach, likely along the lines described
in <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jrh13/papers/bessel.ps.gz>.
So the justification for a change such as this would be statistical
rather than based on particular tests that had excessive errors and no
longer do so (no doubt such tests could be found, but would probably
be too fragile to add to the testsuite, as liable to give large errors
again from very small implementation changes or even from compiler
changes). See
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2020-02/msg00638.html> for such
statistics of the resulting improvements for float functions.
Tested (glibc testsuite) for x86_64.
Bug 25487 reports stack corruption in ldbl-96 sinl on a pseudo-zero
argument (an representation where all the significand bits, including
the explicit high bit, are zero, but the exponent is not zero, which
is not a valid representation for the long double type).
Although this is not a valid long double representation, existing
practice in this area (see bug 4586, originally marked invalid but
subsequently fixed) is that we still seek to avoid invalid memory
accesses as a result, in case of programs that treat arbitrary binary
data as long double representations, although the invalid
representations of the ldbl-96 format do not need to be consistently
handled the same as any particular valid representation.
This patch makes the range reduction detect pseudo-zero and unnormal
representations that would otherwise go to __kernel_rem_pio2, and
returns a NaN for them instead of continuing with the range reduction
process. (Pseudo-zero and unnormal representations whose unbiased
exponent is less than -1 have already been safely returned from the
function before this point without going through the rest of range
reduction.) Pseudo-zero representations would previously result in
the value passed to __kernel_rem_pio2 being all-zero, which is
definitely unsafe; unnormal representations would previously result in
a value passed whose high bit is zero, which might well be unsafe
since that is not a form of input expected by __kernel_rem_pio2.
Tested for x86_64.
This should be unconditionally set to match the common implementation,

On platforms where long double has IEEE binary128 format as a third
option (initially, only powerpc64le), many exported functions are
redirected to their __*ieee128 equivalents. This redirection is
provided by installed headers such as stdio-ldbl.h, and is supposed to
work correctly with user code.
However, during the build of glibc, similar redirections are employed,
in internal headers, such as include/stdio.h, in order to avoid extra
PLT entries. These redirections conflict with the redirections to
__*ieee128, and must be avoided during the build. This patch protects
the second redirections with a test for __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128, a

This patch adds IEEE long double versions of q*cvt* functions for

floating-point numbers with different formats and act on them
accordingly, instead, the related files are rebuilt with the

Having -mabi=ieeelongdouble passed to the compiler causes the object
files to be marked with a .gnu_attribute that is incompatible with the
.gnu_attribute in files built with -mabi=ibmlongdouble (the default).
The difference causes error messages similar to the following:

actually needs to have functions with different long double formats, so
.gnu_attribute generation is explicitly disabled for these files with
the use of -mno-gnu-attribute.
