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.
Improvements on Cortex-A72:
exp latency: 3.2x
exp thruput: 4.1x
exp2 latency: 7.8x
exp2 thruput: 18.8x
* libc/include/math.h: (llround, llroundf): Declare.
* libm/common/s_llround.c: New file, implementing llround().
* libm/common/sf_llround.c: New file, implementing llroundf().
* libm/common/sf_lround.c: Remove spurious cast in _DOUBLE_IS_32BITS
version of function.
* libm/common/sf_lrint.c: Ditto.
* libm/common/sf_logb.c: Corrected return for subnormal argument
by replacing existing function with a version created from sf_ilogb.c.

added documentation for logb() and logbf().
* libm/common/s_signbit.c: Add signbit() documentation.

as well as comments pointing out problems with the implementation.
* libm/common/s_fma.c: Add fma() and fmaf() documentation.

corrected by discarding existing function and replacing with Sun
verion, with some enhancements.

documentation.
* libm/common/s_fmax.c: Add fmax() and fmaxf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_fmin.c: Add fmin() and fminf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_fdim.c: Return NAN for NAN arg, add fdim() and fdimf()
documentation.

* libm/common/s_rint.c: Add rint() and rintf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_round.c: Add round() and roundf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_scalbn.c: Add scalbln() and scalblnf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_infinity.c: Add infinity() and infinityf()
documentation.
* libm/common/s_lround.c: Add lround(), lroundf(), llround(), and
llroundf() documentation.
* libm/common/s_lrint.c: Add lrint(), lrintf(), llrint(), and llrintf()
documentation.
* libm/common/isgreater.c: New file for documenting math.h function-like
macros isgreater(), isgreaterequal(), isless(), islessequal(),
islessgreater(), and isunordered().
* libm/common/s_isnan.c: Add documentation for function-like macros
fpclassify(), isfinite(), isinf(), isnan(), and isnormal().
* libm/common/s_nearbyint.c: Add nearbyint() and nearbyintf()
documentation.
* libm/common/Makefile.am: Add s_llround.c (src); sf_llround.c (fsrc);
s_fdim.def, s_fma.def, s_fmax.def, s_fmin.def,
s_logb.def, s_lrint.def, s_lround.def, s_nearbyint.def, s_remquo.def,
s_rint.def, s_round.def, s_signbit.def, s_trunc.def, and
isgreater.def (chobj);
re-name all existing chew files (chobj) to match source file base
names (put in underscores), delete all special targets for chew files
(leaving all to be generated by rule).
* libm/common/Makefile.in: regenerate.
* libm/math/w_exp2.c: Add "base 2" to documentation description (and
delete TRAD_SYNOPSIS).
* libm/math/w_gamma.c: Add tgamma() and tgammaf() documentation, along
with some history behind the function names.
* libm/math/math.tex: Add includes for newly-added documentation (see
.def additions to common/Makefile.am and math/Makefile.am in this
ChangeLog list), adjusted existing .def file names to match source file
base names (added underscores); add mention of HUGE_VALF; rename
"Version of library" section to "Error Handling" and add some text
about floating-point exception; added section "Standards Compliance And
Portability".
* libm/math/Makefile.am: Add w_exp2.def (chobj);
re-name all existing chew files (chobj) to match source file base
names, delete all special targets for chew files (leaving all to be
generated by rule).
* libm/math/Makefile.in: regenerated
* doc/makedoc.c: Change silent ignoring of commands < 5 characters
to a failure when reading macro file for commands < 4 characters;
add -v (verbose) option for printing some debugging information;
get rid of spurious translation of "@*" to "*" (no source files used @*,
so no existing doc pages were affected); clean up some compiler
warnings.
* doc/doc.str: add BUGS and SEEALSO sections (to match texi2pod.pl
which has them); Remove ITEM command (redundant with makedoc built-in
"o", not used in any present source file so nothing is lost, anyway).
* HOWTO: New file to hold information for maintainers regarding how
to do things. Initial sections on documentation and ELIX levels.
