These changes will be active for all platforms that don't provide
their own exp() routines. They will also be active for ieee754
versions of ccos, ccosh, cosh, csin, csinh, sinh, exp10, gamma, and
erf.
Typical performance gains is typically around 5x when measured on
Sparc s7 for common values between exp(1) and exp(40).
Using the glibc perf tests on sparc,
sparc (nsec) x86 (nsec)
old new old new
max 17629 395 5173 144
min 399 54 15 13
mean 5317 200 1349 23
The extreme max times for the old (ieee754) exp are due to the
multiprecision computation in the old algorithm when the true value is
very near 0.5 ulp away from an value representable in double
precision. The new algorithm does not take special measures for those
cases. The current glibc exp perf tests overrepresent those values.
Informal testing suggests approximately one in 200 cases might
invoke the high cost computation. The performance advantage of the new
algorithm for other values is still large but not as large as indicated
by the chart above.
Glibc correctness tests for exp() and expf() were run. Within the
test suite 3 input values were found to cause 1 bit differences (ulp)
when "FE_TONEAREST" rounding mode is set. No differences in exp() were
seen for the tested values for the other rounding modes.
Typical example:
exp(-0x1.760cd2p+0) (-1.46113312244415283203125)
new code: 2.31973271630014299393707e-01 0x1.db14cd799387ap-3
old code: 2.31973271630014271638132e-01 0x1.db14cd7993879p-3
exp = 2.31973271630014285508337 (high precision)
Old delta: off by 0.49 ulp
New delta: off by 0.51 ulp
In addition, because ieee754_exp() is used by other routines, cexp()
showed test results with very small imaginary input values where the
imaginary portion of the result was off by 3 ulp when in upward
rounding mode, but not in the other rounding modes. For x86, tgamma
showed a few values where the ulp increased to 6 (max ulp for tgamma
is 5). Sparc tgamma did not show these failures. I presume the tgamma
differences are due to compiler optimization differences within the
gamma function.The gamma function is known to be difficult to compute
accurately.

My recent exp patch introduced warnings about implicit __isinf
declarations in exp because e_exp.c didn't include <math.h>. This
patch fixes this. Because <math.h> can't be included after
<math_private.h> (because of macro definitions of __nan*), it was
necessary to put an include in sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/multiarch/e_exp.c as
well.
Tested x86_64.

[HAVE_FMA4_SUPPORT || HAVE_AVX_SUPPORT]: Likewise.
The dbl-64 version of exp needs round-to-nearest mode for its internal
computations, but that has the consequence of inappropriate
overflowing and underflowing results in other rounding modes. This
patch fixes this by recomputing the relevant results in cases where
the round-to-nearest result overflows to infinity or underflows to
zero (most of the diffs are actually just consequent reindentation).
Tests are enabled in all rounding modes for complex functions using
exp - but not for cexp because it turns out there are bugs causing
spurious underflows for cexp for some tests, which will need to be
fixed separately (I suspect ccos ccosh csin csinh ctan ctanh have
similar bugs, just not shown by the present set of test inputs).
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.
