The wiki "Regeneration" page has this to say about update ULPs.
"The libm-test-ulps files are semiautomatically updated. To
update an ulps baseline, run each of the failing tests (test-float,
test-double, etc.) with -u; this will generate a file called ULPs;
concatenate each of those files with the existing libm-test-ulps
file, after removing any entries for particularly huge numbers of
ulps that you do not want to mark as expected. Then run
gen-libm-test.pl -n -u FILE where FILE is the concatenated file
produced in the previous step. This generates a file called
NewUlps which is the new sorted version of libm-test-ulps."
The same information is listed in math/README.libm-test, and is a
lot of manual work that you often want to run over-and-over again
while working on a particular test.
The `regen-ulps' convenience target does this automatically for
developers.
We strictly assume the source tree is readonly and add a
new --output-dir option to libm-test.inc to allow for writing
out ULPs to $(objpfx).
When run the new target does the following:
* Starts with the baseline ULPs file.
* Runs each of the libm math tests with -u.
* Adds new changes seen with -u to the baseline.
* Sorts and prepares the test output with gen-libm-test.pl.
* Leaves math/NewUlps in your build tree to copy to your source
tree, cleanup, and checkin.
The math test documentation in math/README.libm-test is updated
document the new Makefile target.

The patch increase the high value to check if expl overflows. Current
high mark value is not really correct, the algorithm accepts high values.
It also adds a correct wrapper function to check for overflow and underflow.

For some tests, just claim that fetestexcept() always returns true,
so the rest of the test can be compiled.
For libm-test, provide known bogus values for unsupported rounding
modes, so fesetround() will return failure.
Elsewhere, just add some #ifdefs to avoid code that uses particular
FP exceptions if the exceptions aren't supported.
POSIX 2008 states that if the input for 'logb[f|l]' is a subnormal number
it should be treated as if it were normalized. This means the
implementation should calculate the log2 of the mantissa and add it to the
subnormal exponent (-126 for float and -1022 for double and IBM long
double). This patch takes care of that.
[BZ #6794]
Following Joseph comments about bug 6794, here is a proposed fix. It turned out
to be a large fix mainly because I had to move some file along to follow libm
files/names conventions.
Basically I have added wrappers (w_ilogb.c, w_ilogbf.c, w_ilogbl.c) that now calls
the symbol '__ieee754_ilogb'. The wrappers checks for '__ieee754_ilogb' output and
set the errno and raise exceptions as expected.
The '__ieee754_ilogb' is implemented in sysdeps. I have moved the 's_ilogb[f|l]' files
to e_ilogb[f|l] and renamed the '__ilogb[f|l]' to '__ieee754_ilogb[f|l]'.
I also found out a bug in i386 and x86-64 assembly coded ilogb implementation where
it raises a FE_DIVBYZERO when argument is '0.0'. I corrected this issue as well.
Finally I added the errno and FE_INVALID tests for 0.0, NaN and +-InF argument. Tested
on i386, x86-64, ppc32 and ppc64.
