__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD will effect the definition of float_t and
double_t, currently we'll set __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 when
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ is -1, that means we'll define float_t and double_t
to long double.
However some target isn't natively (HW) support long double like AArch64 and
RISC-V, they defined long double as 128-bits IEEE 754 floating point type.
That means setting __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 will cause very inefficient
code gen for those target who didn't provide native support for long
double, and that's violate the spirit float_t and double_t - most efficient
types at least as wide as float and double.
So this patch propose to remap __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 0 rather than
2 when __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ is -1, which means we'll use float/double
rather than long double for float_t and double_t.
Note: __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ == -1 means the precision is indeterminable,
which means compiler might using indeterminable precision during
optimization/code gen, clang will set this value to -1 when fast
math is enabled.
Note: Default definition float_t and double_t in current glibc:
| __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD | float_t | double_t
| 0 or 16 | float | double
| 1 | double | doulbe
| 2 | long double | long double
More complete list see math/math.h
Note: RISC-V has defined ISA extension to support 128-bits IEEE 754
floating point operations, but only rare RISC-V core will implement that.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Also, change sources.redhat.com to sourceware.org.
This patch was automatically generated by running the following shell
script, which uses GNU sed, and which avoids modifying files imported
from upstream:

and then by running 'make dist-prepare' to regenerate files built
from the altered files, and then executing the following to cleanup:

At present, definitions of float_t and double_t are split among many
bits/mathdef.h headers.
For all but three architectures, these types are float and double.
Furthermore, if you assume __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to be defined, that
provides a more generic way of determining the correct values of these
typedefs. Defining these typedefs more generally based on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ was previously proposed by Paul Eggert in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00002.html>.
This patch refactors things in the way I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html>. A new
header bits/flt-eval-method.h defines a single macro,
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD, which is then used by math.h to define
float_t and double_t. The default is based on __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__
(although actually a default to 0 would have the same effect for
current ports, because ports where values other than 0 or 16 are
possible all have their own headers).
To avoid changing the existing semantics in any case, including for
compilers not defining __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__, architecture-specific
files are then added for m68k, s390, x86 which replicate the existing
semantics. At least with __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ values possible with
GCC, there should be no change to the choices of float_t and double_t
for any supported configuration.
Architecture maintainer notes:
* m68k: sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 to replicate the existing logic. But
actually GCC defines __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to 0 if TARGET_68040. It
might make sense to make the header prefer to base things on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ if defined, like the x86 version, and so make
the choices of these types more accurate (with a NEWS entry as for
the other changes to these types on particular architectures).
* s390: sysdeps/s390/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 1 to replicate the existing logic. As
previously discussed, it might make sense in coordination with GCC
to eliminate the historic mistake, avoid excess precision in the
-fexcess-precision=standard case and make the typedefs match (with a
NEWS entry, again).
Tested for x86-64 and x86. Also did compilation-only testing with
build-many-glibcs.py.
