# 352835 28-Sep-2019 dim

MFC r352710:

Do not left-shift a negative number (inducing undefined behavior in
C/C++) in exp(3), expf(3), expm1(3) and expm1f(3) during intermediate
computations that compute the IEEE-754 bit pattern for |2**k| for
integer |k|.

The implementations of exp(3), expf(3), expm1(3) and expm1f(3) need to
compute IEEE-754 bit patterns for 2**k in certain places. (k is an
integer and 2**k is exactly representable in IEEE-754.)

Currently they do things like 0x3FF0'0000+(k<<20), which is to say they
take the bit pattern representing 1 and then add directly to the
exponent field to get the desired power of two. This is fine when k is
non-negative.

But when k<0 (and certain classes of input trigger this), this
left-shifts a negative number -- an operation with undefined behavior in
C and C++.

The desired semantics can be achieved by instead adding the
possibly-negative k to the IEEE-754 exponent bias to get the desired
exponent field, _then_ shifting that into its proper overall position.

(Note that in case of s_expm1.c and s_expm1f.c, there are SET_HIGH_WORD
and SET_FLOAT_WORD uses further down in each of these files that perform
shift operations involving k, but by these points k's range has been
restricted to 2 < k <= 56, and the shift operations under those
circumstances can't do anything that would be UB.)

# 251024 27-May-2013 das

Fix some regressions caused by the switch from gcc to clang. The fixes
are workarounds for various symptoms of the problem described in clang
bugs 3929, 8100, 8241, 10409, and 12958.

The regression tests did their job: they failed, someone brought it
up on the mailing lists, and then the issue got ignored for 6 months.
Oops. There may still be some regressions for functions we don't have
test coverage for yet.

Compute the exponential of x for Intel 80-bit format and IEEE 128-bit
format. These implementations are based on

PTP Tang, "Table-driven implementation of the exponential function
in IEEE floating-point arithmetic," ACM Trans. Math. Soft., 15,
144-157 (1989).

Use volatile hacks to make sure exp() generates an underflow
exception when it's supposed to. Previously, gcc -O2 was optimizing
away the statement that generated it.


# 176074 07-Feb-2008 bde

Use a better method of scaling by 2**k. Instead of adding to the
exponent bits of the reduced result, construct 2**k (hopefully in
parallel with the construction of the reduced result) and multiply by
it. This tends to be much faster if the construction of 2**k is
actually in parallel, and might be faster even with no parallelism
since adjustment of the exponent requires a read-modify-wrtite at an
unfortunate time for pipelines.

In some cases involving exp2* on amd64 (A64), this change saves about
40 cycles or 30%. I think it is inherently only about 12 cycles faster
in these cases and the rest of the speedup is from partly-accidentally
avoiding compiler pessimizations (the construction of 2**k is now
manually scheduled for good results, and -O2 doesn't always mess this
up). In most cases on amd64 (A64) and i386 (A64) the speedup is about
20 cycles. The worst case that I found is expf on ia64 where this
change is a pessimization of about 10 cycles or 5%. The manual
scheduling for plain exp[f] is harder and not as tuned.

This change ld128/s_exp2l.c has not been tested.

Reduce diffs against vendor source (Sun fdlibm 5.3).


# 117912 23-Jul-2003 peter

Only provide one copy of the math functions. If we provide a MD function,
do not also provide a __generic_XXX version as well. This is how we
used to runtime select the generic vs i387 versions on the i386 platform.

This saves a pile of #defines in the src/math_private.h file to undo the
__generic_XXX renames in some of the *.c files.

Select between the generic math functions and the i387-specific ones
at runtime.

etc/make.conf:
Nuked HAVE_FPU option.

lib/msun/Makefile:
Always build the i387 objects. Copy the i387 source files at build
time so that the i387 objects have different names. This is simpler
than renaming the files in the cvs repository or repeating half of
bsd.lib.mk to add explicit rules.

lib/msun/src/*.c:
Renamed all functions that have an i387-specific version by adding
`__generic_' to their names.

lib/msun/src/get_hw_float.c:
New file for getting machdep.hw_float from the kernel.

sys/i386/include/asmacros.h:
Abuse the ENTRY() macro to generate jump vectors and associated code.
This works much like PIC PLT dynamic initialization. The PIC case is
messy. The old i387 entry points are renamed. Renaming is easier
here because the names are given by macro expansions.

J.T. Conklin's latest version of the Sun math library.

-- Begin comments from J.T. Conklin:
The most significant improvement is the addition of "float" versions
of the math functions that take float arguments, return floats, and do
all operations in floating point. This doesn't help (performance)
much on the i386, but they are still nice to have.

The float versions were orginally done by Cygnus' Ian Taylor when
fdlibm was integrated into the libm we support for embedded systems.
I gave Ian a copy of my libm as a starting point since I had already
fixed a lot of bugs & problems in Sun's original code. After he was
done, I cleaned it up a bit and integrated the changes back into my
libm.
