The CORE-MATH implementation is correctly rounded (for any rounding mode)
and shows better performance compared to the generic exp2m1f.
The code was adapted to glibc style and to use the definition of
math_config.h (to handle errno, overflow, and underflow). The
only change is to handle FLT_MAX_EXP for FE_DOWNWARD or FE_TOWARDZERO.
The benchmark inputs are based on exp2f ones.

The generic implementation calls __ieee754_exp2f and x86_64 provides
an optimized ifunc version (built with -mfma -mavx2, not correctly
rounded). This explains the performance difference for x86_64.
Same for i686, where the ABI provides an optimized __ieee754_exp2f
version built with '-msse2 -mfpmath=sse'. When built wth same
flags, the new algorithm shows a better performance:

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the logp1 functions (aliases for log1p functions - the
name is intended to be more consistent with the new log2p1 and
log10p1, where clearly it would have been very confusing to name those
functions log21p and log101p). As aliases rather than new functions,
the content of this patch is somewhat different from those actually
adding new functions.
Tests are shared with log1p, so this patch *does* mechanically update
all affected libm-test-ulps files to expect the same errors for both
functions.
The vector versions of log1p on aarch64 and x86_64 are *not* updated
to have logp1 aliases (and thus there are no corresponding header,
tests, abilist or ulps changes for vector functions either). It would
be reasonable for such vector aliases and corresponding changes to
other files to be made separately. For now, the log1p tests instead
avoid testing logp1 in the vector case (a Makefile change is needed to
avoid problems with grep, used in generating the .c files for vector
function tests, matching more than one ALL_RM_TEST line in a file
testing multiple functions with the same inputs, when it assumes that
the .inc file only has a single such line).
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
Generated on a Cavium Octeon III 2 board running Linux version 4.19.249
and GCC 13.1.0.
Needed due to commit cf7ffdd8a5 ("added pair of inputs for hypotf in
binary32").
With mathinline removal there is no need to keep building and testing
inline math tests.
The gen-libm-tests.py support to generate ULP_I_* is removed and all
libm-test-ulps files are updated to longer have the
i{float,double,ldouble} entries. The support for no-test-inline is
also removed from both gen-auto-libm-tests and the
auto-libm-test-out-* were regenerated.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
This patch obsoletes the pow10, pow10f and pow10l functions (makes
them into compat symbols, not available for new ports or static
linking). The exp10 names for these functions are standardized (in TS
18661-4) and were added in the same glibc version (2.1) as pow10 so
source code can change to use them without any loss of portability.
Since pow10 is deliberately not provided for _Float128, only exp10,
this slightly simplifies moving to the new wrapper templates in the
!LIBM_SVID_COMPAT case, by avoiding needing to arrange for pow10,
pow10f and pow10l to be defined by those templates.

This patch regenerates MIPS catan and catanh ulps for long double with
fixed expected results for the tests of those functions. ulps for
other types (which may see variation depending on whether glibc is
built for a processor with fused multiply-add support) are
deliberately not reduced. ulps are not regenerated for powerpc-nofpu
as such regeneration does not result in any changes for long double.
* sysdeps/mips/mips64/libm-test-ulps: Update catan and catanh ulps
for long double with corrected test expectations.
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.

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.

This patch adds more libm test inputs found through random test
generation to increase previously known ulps. This particular test
generation was run for mips64, so most of the increased ulps are for
ldbl-128 (float and double having been fairly well covered by such
testing for x86_64), but there's the odd ulps increase for other
formats.

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).
