Fix x86/x86_64 expm1 inaccuracy near 0 in directed rounding modes (bug 16293).
Bug 16293 is inaccuracy of x86/x86_64 versions of expm1, near 0 in
directed rounding modes, that arises from frndint rounding the
exponent to 1 or -1 instead of 0, resulting in large cancellation
error. This inaccuracy in turn affects other functions such as sinh
that use expm1. This patch fixes the problem by setting
round-to-nearest mode temporarily around the affected calls to
frndint. I don't think this is needed for other uses of frndint, such
as in exp itself, as only for expm1 is the cancellation error
significant.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]: Set
round-to-nearest mode when using frndint.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1.S (__expm1): Likewise.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1f.S (__expm1f): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]:
Likewise.
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of expm1. Do not expect
sinh test to fail.
* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
* math/libm-test.inc (TEST_COND_x86_64): Remove macro.
(TEST_COND_x86): Likewise.
(expm1_tonearest_test_data): New array.
(expm1_test_tonearest): New function.
(expm1_towardzero_test_data): New array.
(expm1_test_towardzero): New function.
(expm1_downward_test_data): New array.
(expm1_test_downward): New function.
(expm1_upward_test_data): New array.
(expm1_test_upward): New function.
(main): Run the new test functions.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Update.
* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Likewise.
