Fix ldbl-128ibm floorl for non-default rounding modes (bug 17899).
The ldbl-128ibm implementation of floorl is only correct in round-to-nearest mode (in other modes, there are incorrect results and overflow exceptions in some cases going beyond the incorrect signs of zero results noted in bug 17899). It is also unnecessarily complicated, rounding both high and low parts to the nearest integer and then adjusting for the semantics of floor, when it seems more natural to take the floor of the high part (__floor optimized inline versions can be used), and that of the low part if the high part is an integer. This patch makes it use that simpler approach, with a canonicalization that works in all rounding modes (given that the only way the result can be noncanonical is if taking the floor of a negative noninteger low part increased its exponent). Tested for powerpc, where over a thousand failures are removed from test-ldouble.out (floorl problems affect many powl tests). [BZ #17899] * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/math_ldbl.h (ldbl_canonicalize_int): New function. * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_floorl.c (__floorl): Use __floor on high and low parts then use ldbl_canonicalize_int if needed.
