Now that atomic builtins are used by default, we can rely on the
compiler to define when to use 64-bit atomic operations.
It allows the use of 64-bit atomic operations on some 32-bit ABIs where
they were not previously enabled due to missing pre-processor handling:
hppa, mips64n32, s390, and sparcv9.

All ABIs, except alpha, powerpc, and x86_64, define it to
atomic_full_barrier/__sync_synchronize, which can be mapped to
__atomic_thread_fence (__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST) in most cases, with the
exception of aarch64 (where the acquire fence is generated as
'dmb ishld' instead of 'dmb ish').
For s390x, it defaults to a memory barrier where __sync_synchronize
emits a 'bcr 15,0' (which the manual describes as pipeline
synchronization).
For PowerPC, it allows the use of lwsync for additional chips
(since _ARCH_PWR4 does not cover all chips that support it).
Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu, where the acquire produces a different
instruction that the current code.

For Sparc, it uses a stricter #StoreStore|#LoadStore|#StoreLoad|#LoadLoad

This patch replaces _dl_stack_flags global variable by
_dl_stack_prot_flags.
The advantage is that any convertion from p_flags to final used mprotect
flags occurs at loading of p_flags. It avoids repeated spurious

The current approach tracks math maximum supported errors by explicitly
setting them per function and architecture. On newer implementations or
new compiler versions, the file is updated with newer values if it
shows higher results. The idea is to track the maximum known error, to
update the manual with the obtained values.
The constant libm-test-ulps shows little value, where it is usually a
mechanical change done by the maintainer, for past releases it is
usually ignored whether the ulp change resulted from a compiler
regression, and the math tests already have a maximum ulp error that
triggers a regression.
It was shown by a recent update after the new acosf [1] implementation
that is correctly rounded, where the libm-test-ulps was indeed from a
compiler issue.
This patch removes all arch-specific libm-test-ulps, adds system generic
libm-test-ulps where applicable, and changes its semantics. The generic
files now track specific implementation constraints, like if it is
expected to be correctly rounded, or if the system-specific has
different error expectations.
Now multiple libm-test-ulps can be defined, and system-specific
overrides generic implementation. This is for the case where
arch-specific implementation might show worse precision than generic
implementation, for instance, the cbrtf on i686.
Regressions are only reported if the implementation shows larger errors
than 9 ulps (13 for IBM long double) unless it is overridden by
libm-test-ulps and the maximum error is not printed at the end of tests.
The regen-ulps rule is also removed since it does not make sense to
update the libm-test-ulps automatically.
The manual error table is also removed, Paul Zimmermann and others have
been tracking libm precision with a more comprehensive analysis for some
releases; so link to his work instead.

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the logp1 functions (aliases for log1p functions - the
name is intended to be more consistent with the new log2p1 and
log10p1, where clearly it would have been very confusing to name those
functions log21p and log101p). As aliases rather than new functions,
the content of this patch is somewhat different from those actually
adding new functions.
Tests are shared with log1p, so this patch *does* mechanically update
all affected libm-test-ulps files to expect the same errors for both
functions.
The vector versions of log1p on aarch64 and x86_64 are *not* updated
to have logp1 aliases (and thus there are no corresponding header,
tests, abilist or ulps changes for vector functions either). It would
be reasonable for such vector aliases and corresponding changes to
other files to be made separately. For now, the log1p tests instead
avoid testing logp1 in the vector case (a Makefile change is needed to
avoid problems with grep, used in generating the .c files for vector
function tests, matching more than one ALL_RM_TEST line in a file
testing multiple functions with the same inputs, when it assumes that
the .inc file only has a single such line).
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
WG14 decided to use the name C23 as the informal name of the next
revision of the C standard (notwithstanding the publication date in

This is intended to update everything *except* where it involves
renaming files (the changes involving renaming tests are intended to
be done separately). In the case of the _ISOC2X_SOURCE feature test
macro - the only user-visible interface involved - support for that
macro is kept for backwards compatibility, while adding
_ISOC23_SOURCE.
