Joseph Myers 72d839a42f Fix pow (qNaN, 0) result with -lieee (bug 20919), remove dead parts of wrappers.
The dbl-64 implementation of __ieee754_pow returns a NaN for pow
(qNaN, 0) when it should return 1.  Normally this is covered up by the
wrappers ending up calling __kernel_standard which fixes up the result
for this case, but for -lieee the wrappers are bypassed and the bad
result gets through as a return value.

Now, the wrappers fixing this are dealing with variant error handling
that wants a result of NaN for pow (qNaN, 0), and only ever call
__kernel_standard for this case if NaN resulted from __ieee754_pow.
This leads to a question of whether the dbl-64 code might be
deliberately returning NaN in order to use those code paths.  However,
I can find no sign that this is deliberate.  If it were deliberate one
would expect other implementations to do the same, and would expect
the return of NaN to be very old, but it appears it came in by
accident when the present e_pow.c implementation replaced an fdlibm
implementation in 2001.  So it appears to be unintended that this path
through the pow wrapper could be used at all.

So this patch fixes the implementation to return 1 in this case as
expected.  This is consistent with all the other implementations.  The
relevant path through the wrappers is now unreachable, so is removed
(which is the main motivation of this patch: to avoid that path
becoming accidentally reachable when implementing TS 18661-1 semantics
that pow (sNaN, 0) should return qNaN with "invalid" raised).  Another
path that would require __ieee754_pow (0, 0) to return 0 is also
unreachable (as all implementations return 1, in accordance with C99
semantics), so is removed as well.

Note: we don't have anything set up to test -lieee, which in any case
is obsolescent (at some point we should remove the ability for new
programs to access _LIB_VERSION or define matherr and have it called
by glibc).  So testing will be implicit through sNaN tests added when
making sNaN inputs work correctly for pow functions.

Tested for x86_64 and x86.

	[BZ #20919]
	* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_pow.c (__ieee754_pow): Do not return
	NaN first argument when raised to power 0.
	* math/w_pow.c (__pow): Do not check for NaN or zero results from
	raising to power zero.
	* math/w_powf.c (__powf): Likewise.
	* math/w_powl.c (__powl): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/ieee754/k_standard.c (__kernel_standard): Do not handle
	pow (0, 0) or pow (NaN, 0).

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 3.2 or later on all architectures except
i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later
suffices.

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
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
