commit moved it). This includes a comment that the "kernel" sine no
longer works on arg -0, so callers must now handle this case. The kernel
sine still works on all other tiny args; without the optimization it is
just a little slower on these args. I intended it to keep working on
all tiny args, but that seems to be impossible without losing efficiency
or accuracy. (sin(x) ~ x * (1 + S1*x**2 + ...) would preserve -0, but
the approximation must be written as x + S1*x**3 + ... for accuracy.)
case never occurs since pi/2 is irrational so no multiple of it can
be represented as a float and we have precise arg reduction so we never
end up with a remainder of 0 in the "kernel" function unless the
original arg is 0.
If this case occurs, then we would now fall through to general code
that returns +-Inf (depending on the sign of the reduced arg) instead
of forcing +Inf. The correct handling would be to return NaN since
we would have lost so much precision that the correct result can be
anything _except_ +-Inf.
Don't reindent the else clause left over from this, although it was already
bogusly indented ("if (foo) return; else ..." just marches the indentation
to the right), since it will be removed too.

a declaration was not translated to "float" although bit fiddling on
double variables was translated. This resulted in garbage being put
into the low word of one of the doubles instead of non-garbage being
put into the only word of the intended float. This had no effect on
any result because:
- with doubles, the algorithm for calculating -1/(x+y) is unnecessarily
complicated. Just returning -1/((double)x+y) would work, and the
misdeclaration gave something like that except for messing up some
low bits with the bit fiddling.
- doubles have plenty of bits to spare so messing up some of the low
bits is unlikely to matter.
- due to other bugs, the buggy code is reached for a whole 4 args out
of all 2**32 float args. The bug fixed by 1.8 only affects a small
percentage of cases and a small percentage of 4 is 0. The 4 args
happen to cause no problems without 1.8, so they are even less likely
to be affected by the bug in 1.8 than average args; in fact, neither
1.8 nor this commit makes any difference to the result for these 4
args (and thus for all args).
Corrections to the log message in 1.8: the bug only applies to tan()
and not tanf(), not because the float type can't represent numbers
large enough to trigger the problem (e.g., the example in the fdlibm-5.3
readme which is > 1.0e269), but because:
- the float type can't represent small enough numbers. For there to be
a possible problem, the original arg for tanf() must lie very near an
odd multiple of pi/2. Doubles can get nearer in absolute units. In
ulps there should be little difference, but ...
- ... the cutoff for "small" numbers is bogus in k_tanf.c. It is still
the double value (2**-28). Since this is 32 times smaller than
FLT_EPSILON and large float values are not very uniformly distributed,
only 6 args other than ones that are initially below the cutoff give
a reduced arg that passes the cutoff (the 4 problem cases mentioned
above and 2 non-problem cases).
Fixing the cutoff makes the bug affect tanf() and much easier to detect
than for tan(). With a cutoff of 2**-12 on amd64 with -O1, 670102
args pass the cutoff; of these, there are 337604 cases where there
might be an error of >= 1 ulp and 5826 cases where there is such an
error; the maximum error is 1.5382 ulps.
The fix in 1.8 works with the reduced cutoff in all cases despite the
bug in it. It changes the result in 84492 cases altogether to fix the
5826 broken cases. Fixing the fix by translating "double" to "float"
changes the result in 42 cases relative to 1.8. In 24 cases the
(absolute) error is increased and in 18 cases it is reduced, but it
remains less than 1 ulp in all cases.

libpthread, but still quite useful in libpthread as it can be used to
process interlaced records from multiple threads over the course of a
system call.
Detect old ktr_buffer values using the heuristic "if it's negative,

of the trace log, but the kernel pointer for the buffer does not.
Add a new ktr_buffer pointer to the kernel-only ktrace request
structure to hold that pointer. This frees up an integer in the
ktrace record format that can be used to hold the threadid,
although older ktrace files will have a garbage ktr_buffer field
(or more accurately, a kernel pointer value).

since the link takes a bit to negotiate, the information is pretty
much never available during the probe. As such, the boot output
pretty much always prints N/A for speed and duplex. Since we print
out the output of ifconfig during the user space boot, this early
boot information is also generally redundant, and added to the noise.

Instead of panic'ing, the kernel now prints out a warning that it is
