Joseph Myers 4629c866ad Fix atan / atan2 missing underflows (bug 15319).
This patch fixes bug 15319, missing underflows from atan / atan2 when
the result of atan is very close to its small argument (or that of
atan2 is very close to the ratio of its arguments, which may be an
exact division).

The usual approach of doing an underflowing computation if the
computed result is subnormal is followed.  For 32-bit x86, there are
extra complications: the inline __ieee754_atan2 in bits/mathinline.h
needs to be disabled for float and double because other libm functions
using it generally rely on getting proper underflow exceptions from
it, while the out-of-line functions have to remove excess range and
precision from the underflowing result so as to return an exact 0 in
the case where errno should be set for underflow to 0.  (The failures
I saw without that are similar to those Carlos reported for other
functions, where I haven't seen a response to
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00485.html>
confirming if my diagnosis is correct.  Arguably all libm functions
with float and double returns should remove excess range and
precision, but that's a separate matter.)

The x86_64 long double case reported in a comment in bug 15319 is not
a bug (it's an argument of LDBL_MIN, and x86_64 is an after-rounding
architecture so the correct IEEE result is not to raise underflow in
the given rounding mode, in addition to treating the result as an
exact LDBL_MIN being within the newly clarified documentation of
accuracy goals).  I'm presuming that the fpatan instruction can be
trusted to raise appropriate exceptions when the (long double) result
underflows (after rounding) and so no changes are needed for x86 /
x86_64 long double functions here; empirically this is the case for
the cases covered in the testsuite, on my system.

Tested for x86_64, x86, powerpc and mips64.  Only 32-bit x86 needs
ulps updates (for the changes to inlines meaning some functions no
longer get excess precision from their __ieee754_atan2* calls).

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.  The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	hppa-*-linux-gnu	Not currently functional without patches.
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
	x86_64-*-linux-gnu	Can build either x86_64 or x32
	ia64-*-linux-gnu
	m68k-*-linux-gnu
	microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
	tilegx-*-linux-gnu
	tilepro-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
