This patch implements modf/modff optimization for POWER by focus
on FP operations instead of relying in integer ones.

Appending benchmark program output on every run could result in a case
where the benchmark run was cancelled, resulting in a partially
written file. This file gets used again on the next run, resulting in
results being appended to old results.
It could have been possible to remove the file before every benchmark
run, but it is easier to just write the output to bench.out-tmp only
once.

Benchmark programs are generated using parameters from the Makefile,
so it is necessary to rebuild them whenever the parameters in the
Makefile are updated. Hence, added a dependency for the generated C
source on the Makefile so that it gets regenerated when the Makefile
is updated.

The bench target will only be used within the benchtests directory.

Add separate inputs for slow and fast paths of atan
|
|
|
|
Separate benchmarks for the fast and slow implementations of pow and
exp since measuring both together doesn't make sense. Adjust the
iterations for pow and exp accordingly so that they run long enough
for the measurements to be meaningful.

The branch prediction hints is actually hurts performance in this case.
The assembly implementation make two assumptions: 1. 'fabs (x) < 2^52'
is unlikely and 2. 'x > 0.0' is unlike (if 1. is true). Since it a
general floating point function, expected input is not bounded and then
it is better to let the hardware handle the branches.

See benchtests/Makefile to know how to use it.
