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.

The CORE-MATH implementation is correctly rounded (for any rounding mode),
although it should worse performance than current one. The current
implementation performance comes mainly from the internal usage of
the optimize expf implementation, and shows a maximum ULPs of 2 for
FE_TONEAREST and 3 for other rounding modes.
The code was adapted to glibc style and to use the definition of
math_config.h (to handle errno, overflow, and underflow).

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
2024). Update references to C2X in glibc to use the C23 name.
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.
Tested for x86_64.
It clears some exception flags that are outside the EXCEPTS argument.
It fixes math/test-fexcept on qemu-user.

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

The generic implementation is simplified by removing the
'optimization' for !_IEEE_FP_INEXACT (which does not handle
inexact neither some values).
Checked on alpha-linux-gnu.
With mathinline removal there is no need to keep building and testing
inline math tests.
The gen-libm-tests.py support to generate ULP_I_* is removed and all
libm-test-ulps files are updated to longer have the
i{float,double,ldouble} entries. The support for no-test-inline is
also removed from both gen-auto-libm-tests and the
auto-libm-test-out-* were regenerated.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
This patch adds a new macro, libm_alias_finite, to define all _finite
symbol. It sets all _finite symbol as compat symbol based on its first
version (obtained from the definition at built generated first-versions.h).
The <fn>f128_finite symbols were introduced in GLIBC 2.26 and so need
special treatment in code that is shared between long double and float128.
It is done by adding a list, similar to internal symbol redifinition,
on sysdeps/ieee754/float128/float128_private.h.
Alpha also needs some tricky changes to ensure we still emit 2 compat
symbols for sqrt(f).
Passes buildmanyglibc.

Continuing the move to use, within libm, public names for libm
functions that can be inlined as built-in functions on many
architectures, this patch moves calls to __rint functions to call the

longer useful after this patch.

After some math_private.h cleanups (in particulat math-barriers.h
being split out), the only thing left in the alpha math_private.h was
macro definitions of __isnan and __isnanf, apparently (based on the
comments) intended to avoid problems with inline definitions in other
math_private.h files. Those inline definitions were removed in commit
fe8c2b33ae, and the alpha math_private.h
is no longer needed; this patch removes it.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared
libraries for alpha are unchanged by the patch.
* sysdeps/alpha/fpu/math_private.h: Remove.
This patch continues cleaning up math_private.h by moving the
math_opt_barrier and math_force_eval macros to a separate header
math-barriers.h.
At present, those macros are inside a "#ifndef math_opt_barrier" in
math_private.h to allow architectures to override them and then use
a separate math-barriers.h header, no such #ifndef or #include_next is
needed; architectures just have their own alternative version of
math-barriers.h when providing their own optimized versions that avoid
going through memory unnecessarily. The generic math-barriers.h has a
comment added to document these two macros.
In this patch, math_private.h is made to #include <math-barriers.h>,
so files using these macros do not need updating yet. That is because
of uses of math_force_eval in math_check_force_underflow and
math_check_force_underflow_nonneg, which are still defined in
math_private.h. Once those are moved out to a separate header, that
separate header can be made to include <math-barriers.h>, as can the
other files directly using these barrier macros, and then the include
of <math-barriers.h> from math_private.h can be removed.
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also tested with build-many-glibcs.py that
installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.
