The IEEE spec for pow only has special case for x**0 and 1**y when x/y
are quiet NaN. For signaling NaN, the general case applies and these functions
should signal the invalid exception and return a quiet NaN.

This fix comes from glibc, from files which originated from
the same place as the newlib files. Those files in glibc carry
the same license as the newlib files.
Bug 14155 is spurious underflow exceptions from Bessel functions for
large arguments. (The correct results for large x are roughly
constant * sin or cos (x + constant) / sqrt (x), so no underflow
exceptions should occur based on the final result.)
There are various places underflows may occur in the intermediate
calculations that cause the failures listed in that bug. This patch
fixes problems for the double version where underflows occur in
calculating the intermediate functions P and Q (in particular, x**-12
gets computed while calculating Q). Appropriate approximations are
used for P and Q for arguments at least 0x1p28 and above to avoid the
underflows.
For sufficiently large x - 0x1p129 and above - the code already has a
cut-off to avoid calculating P and Q at all, which means the
approximations -0.125 / x and 0.375 / x can't themselves cause
underflows calculating Q. This cut-off is heuristically reasonable
for the point beyond which Q can be neglected (based on expecting
around 0x1p-64 to be the least absolute value of sin or cos for large
arguments representable in double).
The float versions use a cut-off 0x1p17, which is less heuristically
justifiable but should still only affect values near zeroes of the
Bessel functions where these implementations are intrinsically
inaccurate anyway (bugs 14469-14472), and should serve to avoid
underflows (the float underflow for jn in bug 14155 probably comes
from the recurrence to compute jn). ldbl-96 uses 0x1p129, which may
not really be enough heuristically (0x1p143 or so might be safer - 143
= 64 + 79, number of mantissa bits plus total number of significant
bits in representation) but again should avoid underflows and only
affect values where the code is substantially inaccurate anyway.
ldbl-128 and ldbl-128ibm share a completely different implementation
with no such cut-off, which I propose to fix separately.

Add the missing mask for the decomposition of hi+lo which caused some
errors of 1-2 ULP.
This change is taken over from FreeBSD:
95436ce20d
Additionally I've removed some variable assignments which were never
read before being overwritten again in the next 2 lines.
This fix for k_tan.c is a copy from fdlibm version 5.3 (see also
http://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/readme), adjusted to use the macros
available in newlib (SET_LOW_WORD).
This fix reduces the ULP error of the value shown in the fdlibm readme
(tan(1.7765241907548024E+269)) to 0.45 (thereby reducing the error by
1).
This issue only happens for large numbers that get reduced by the range
reduction to a value smaller in magnitude than 2^-28, that is also
reduced an uneven number of times. This seems rather unlikely given that
one ULP is (much) larger than 2^-28 for the values that may cause an
issue. Although given the sheer number of values a double can
represent, it is still possible that there are more affected values,
finding them however will be quite hard, if not impossible.
We also took a look at how another library (libm in FreeBSD) handles the
issue: In FreeBSD the complete if branch which checks for values smaller
than 2^-28 (or rather 2^-27, another change done by FreeBSD) is moved
out of the kernel function and into the external function. This means
that the value that gets checked for this condition is the unreduced
value. Therefore the input value which caused a problem in the
fdlibm/newlib kernel tan will run through the full polynomial, including
the careful calculation of -1/(x+r). So the difference is really whether
r or y is used. r = y + p with p being the result of the polynomial with
1/3*x^3 being the largest (and magnitude defining) value. With x being
<2^-27 we therefore know that p is smaller than y (y has to be at least
the size of the value of x last mantissa bit divided by 2, which is at
least x*2^-51 for doubles) by enough to warrant saying that r ~ y. So
we can conclude that the general implementation of this special case is
the same, FreeBSD simply has a different philosophy on when to handle
especially small numbers.
While testing the exp function we noticed some errors at the specified
magnitude. Within this range the exp function returns the input value +1
as an output. We chose to run a test of 1m exponentially spaced values
in the ranges [-2^-27,-2^-32] and [2^-32,2^-27] which showed 7603 and
3912 results with an error of >=0.5 ULP (compared with MPFR in 128 bit)
with the highest being 0.56 ULP and 0.53 ULP.
It's easy to fix by changing the magnitude at which the input value +1
is returned from <2^-28 to <2^-32 and using the polynomial instead. This
reduces the number of results with an error of >=0.5 ULP to 485 and 479
in above tests, all of which are exactly 0.5 ULP.
As we were already checking on exp we also took a look at expf. For expf
the magnitude where the input value +1 is returned can be increased from
<2^-28 to <2^-23 without accuracy loss for a slight performance
improvement. To ensure this was the correct value we tested all values
in the ranges [-2^-17,-2^-28] and [2^-28,2^-17] (~92.3m values each).
The single-precision trigonometric functions show rather high errors in
specific ranges starting at about 30000 radians. For example the sinf
procedure produces an error of 7626.55 ULP with the input
5.195880078125e+04 (0x474AF6CD) (compared with MPFR in 128bit
precision). For the test we used 100k values evenly spaced in the range
of [30k, 70k]. The issues are periodic at higher ranges.
This error was introduced when the double precision range reduction was
first converted to float. The shift by 8 bits always returns 0 as iq is
never higher than 255.
The fix reduces the error of the example above to 0.45 ULP, highest
error within the test set fell to 1.31 ULP, which is not perfect, but
still a significant improvement. Testing other previously erroneous
ranges no longer show particularly large accuracy errors.
I think I may have encountered a bug in the implementation of pow:
pow(-1.0, NaN) returns 1.0 when it should return NaN.
Because ix is used to check input vs 1.0 rather than hx, -1.0 is
mistaken for 1.0
This patch removes the definitions of HUGE_VAL from some of the float math
functions. HUGE_VAL is defined in newlib/libc/include/math.h, so it is not
necessary to have a further definition in the math functions.
The new implementation is provided under !__OBSOLETE_MATH, it uses
ISO C99 code. With default settings the worst case error in nearest
rounding mode is 0.54 ULP with inlined fma and fma contraction. It uses
a 4 KB lookup table in addition to the table in exp_data.c, on aarch64
.text+.rodata size of libm.a is increased by 2295 bytes.

latency: 3.3x

The new implementations are provided under !__OBSOLETE_MATH, 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
The new implementations are provided under !__OBSOLETE_MATH, they use
ISO C99 code. There are several settings, with the default one the
worst case error in nearest rounding mode is 0.509 ULP for exp and
0.507 ULP for exp2 when a multiply and add is contracted into an fma.
They use a shared 2 KB lookup table, on aarch64 .text+.rodata size
of libm.a is increased by 1868 bytes. The w_*.c wrappers are disabled
for the new code as it takes care of error handling inline.
The old exp2(x) code used to be just pow(2,x) so the speedup there
is more significant.
The file name has no special prefix to avoid any name collision with
existing files.

Here is the correct patch with both filenames and int cast fixed:
This patch is a complete rewrite of sinf, cosf and sincosf. The new version
is significantly faster, as well as simple and accurate.
The worst-case ULP is 0.56072, maximum relative error is 0.5303p-23 over all
4 billion inputs. In non-nearest rounding modes the error is 1ULP.
The algorithm uses 3 main cases: small inputs which don't need argument
reduction, small inputs which need a simple range reduction and large inputs
requiring complex range reduction. The code uses approximate integer
comparisons to quickly decide between these cases - on some targets this may
be slow, so this can be configured to use floating point comparisons.
The small range reducer uses a single reduction step to handle values up to
120.0. It is fastest on targets which support inlined round instructions.
The large range reducer uses integer arithmetic for simplicity. It does a
32x96 bit multiply to compute a 64-bit modulo result. This is more than
accurate enough to handle the worst-case cancellation for values close to
an integer multiple of PI/4. It could be further optimized, however it is
already much faster than necessary.

Based on code from https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/
This patch adds a highly optimized generic implementation of expf,
exp2f, logf, log2f and powf. The new functions are not only
faster (6x for powf!), but are also smaller and more accurate.
In order to achieve this, the algorithm uses double precision
arithmetic for accuracy, avoids divisions and uses small table
lookups to minimize the polynomials. Special cases are handled
inline to avoid the unnecessary overhead of wrapper functions and
set errno to POSIX requirements.
The new functions are added under newlib/libm/common, but the old
implementations are kept (in newlib/libm/math) for non-IEEE or
pre-C99 systems. Targets can enable the new math code by defining
__OBSOLETE_MATH_DEFAULT to 0 in newlib/libc/include/machine/ieeefp.h,
users can override the default by defining __OBSOLETE_MATH.
Currently the new code is enabled for AArch64 and AArch32 with VFP.
Targets with a single precision FPU may still prefer the old
implementation.
libm.a size changes:
arm: -1692
arm/thumb/v7-a/nofp: -878
arm/thumb/v7-a+fp/hard: -864
arm/thumb/v7-a+fp/softfp: -908
aarch64: -1476
makedoc defines a command as 'all upper case, and alone on a line'.
A few QUICKREF lines currently violate this by having some additional text after
the QUICKREF.
So, currently, these lines are treated as an unknown command.
This is benign as QUICKREF currently does nothing but produce some ignored
output on stderr. I'm not sure what the intent of QUICKREF is.
