The new implementations are provided under !__OBSOLETE_MATH, it uses
ISO C99 code. With default settings the worst case error in nearest
rounding mode is 0.519 ULP with inlined fma and fma contraction. It uses
a 2 KB lookup table, on aarch64 .text+.rodata size of libm.a is increased
by 1703 bytes. The w_log.c wrapper is disabled since error handling is
inline in the new code.
New __HAVE_FAST_FMA and __HAVE_FAST_FMA_DEFAULT feature macros were
added to enable selecting between the code path that uses fma and the
one that does not. Targets supposed to set __HAVE_FAST_FMA_DEFAULT
if they have single instruction fma and the compiler can actually
inline it (gcc has __FP_FAST_FMA macro but that does not guarantee
inlining with -fno-builtin-fma).
Improvements on Cortex-A72:
latency: 1.9x
thruput: 2.3x
Previously, "test 1 2 3 -a -b -c" was permuted to "test -a -b -c 1 2 3",
but "test 1 2 3 -abc" was left as "test 1 2 3 -abc".

Subject: [PATCH] nvptx port
This port adds support for Nvidia GPU's, which are primarily used as
offload accelerators in OpenACC and OpenMP.
This is a NetBSD-specific detail which does not apply to Newlib, causing
linking issues in certain scenarios:

New optimized powf, logf, log2f, expf and exp2f yield worse performance
on Arm targets with only single precision instructions because the
double precision arithmetic is then implemented via softfloat routines.
This patch uses the old implementation when double precision
instructions are not available on Arm targets.
Testing: Built newlib with GCC's rmprofile Arm multilibs and compared
before/after -> only the above functions are changed and calls to them
(name change from logf to __ieee754_logf and similar). Testing the
changed function on a panel of values yields the same result before the
original patches to improve them and after this one. Double checking the
performance by looping the same panel of values being tested on Arm
Cortex-M4 does show the performance regression is fixed.
Make prototype of _kill() always visible when _COMPILING_NEWLIB is
defined. This makes <sys/signal.h> consistent with the use of
_COMPILING_NEWLIB in <sys/unistd.h>, <sys/times.h>, etc.
The following functions are also guarded in glibc:
fwprintf, swprintf, wprintf, vfwprintf, vswprintf, vwprintf.

The implementation is from NetBSD, with the addition of feature test macros
for readlink. glibc also wraps the following functions:
confstr, getdomainname, getgroups, gethostname, getlogin_r, getwd, pread,
readlinkat, ttyname_r.

The implementation is mostly from NetBSD, except for switching fgets to
pure inline, and the addition of fgets_unlocked, fread, and fread_unlocked
for parity with glibc. The following functions are also guarded in glibc:
asprintf, dprintf, fprintf, printf, vasprintf, vdprintf, vfprintf, vprintf.

The implementation is from NetBSD, with the addition of mempcpy (a GNU
extension) for parity with glibc and libssp.

The Object Size Checking (-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=*) functionality provides
wrappers around functions suspectible to buffer overflows. While
independent from Stack Smashing Protection (-fstack-protector*), they
are often used and implemented together.
While GCC also provides an implementation in libssp, it is completely
broken (CVE-2016-4973, RHBZ#1324759) and seemingly unfixable, as there
is no reliable way for a preprocessor macro to trigger a link flag.
Therefore, adding this here is necessary to make it work.
Note that this does require building gcc with --disable-libssp and
gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes.

Since commit 8128f5482f2b1889e2336488e9d45a33c9972d11, we have all the
non-tracing functions listed in posixoptions(7). The tracing functions
are gated by their own option, and are obsolecent anyway.

Difference to Linux: We can't create files which don't show up
in the filesystem due to OS restrictions. As a kludge, make a
(half-hearted) attempt to hide the file in the filesystem.
