Instead of echoing the code in a comment, try to describe why we split
up the evaluation in a special way.
The new optimization is mostly to move the evaluation of w = z*z later
so that everything else (except z = x*x) doesn't have to wait for w.
On Athlons, FP multiplication has a latency of 4 cycles so this
optimization saves 4 cycles per call provided no new dependencies are
introduced. Tweaking the other terms in to reduce dependencies saves
a couple more cycles in some cases (more on AXP than on A64; up to 8
cycles out of 56 altogether in some cases). The previous version had
a similar optimization for s = z*x. Special optimizations like these
probably have a larger effect than the simple 2-way vectorization
permitted (but not activated by gcc) in the old version, since 2-way
vectorization is not enough and the polynomial's degree is so small
in the float case that non-vectorizable dependencies dominate.
On an AXP, tanf() on uniformly distributed args in [-2pi, 2pi] now
takes 34-55 cycles (was 39-59 cycles).
of between 1.0 and 1.8509 ulps for lgammaf(x) with x between -2**-21 and
-2**-70.
As usual, the cutoff for tiny args was not correctly translated to
float precision. It was 2**-70 but 2**-21 works. Not as usual, having
a too-small threshold was worse than a pessimization. It was just a
pessimization for (positive) args between 2**-70 and 2**-21, but for
the first ~50 million (negative) args below -2**-70, the general code
overflowed and gave a result of infinity instead of correct (finite)
results near 70*log(2). For the remaining ~361 million negative args
above -2**21, the general code gave almost-acceptable errors (lgamma[f]()
is not very accurate in general) but the pessimization was larger than
for misclassified tiny positive args.
Now the max error for lgammaf(x) with |x| < 2**-21 is 0.7885 ulps, and
speed and accuracy are almost the same for positive and negative args
in this range. The maximum error overall is still infinity ulps.
A cutoff of 2**-70 is probably wastefully small for the double precision
case. Smaller cutoffs can be used to reduce the max error to nearly
0.5 ulps for tiny args, but this is useless since the general algrorithm
for nearly-tiny args is not nearly that accurate -- it has a max error of
about 1 ulp.
gives a tiny but hopefully always free optimization in the 2 quadrants
to which it applies. On Athlons, it reduces maximum latency by 4 cycles
in these quadrants but has usually has a smaller effect on total time
(typically ~2 cycles (~5%), but sometimes 8 cycles when the compiler
generates poor code).

returning float). The functions are renamed from __kernel_{cos,sin}f()
to __kernel_{cos,sin}df() so that misuses of them will cause link errors
and not crashes.
This version is an almost-routine translation with no special optimizations
for accuracy or efficiency. The not-quite-routine part is that in
__kernel_cosf(), regenerating the minimax polynomial with double
precision coefficients gives a coefficient for the x**2 term that is
not quite -0.5, so the literal 0.5 in the code and the related `hz'
variable need to be modified; also, the special code for reducing the
error in 1.0-x**2*0.5 is no longer needed, so it is convenient to
adjust all the logic for the x**2 term a little. Note that without
extra precision, it would be very bad to use a coefficient of other
than -0.5 for the x**2 term -- the old version depends on multiplication
by -0.5 being infinitely precise so as not to need even more special
code for reducing the error in 1-x**2*0.5.
This gives an unimportant increase in accuracy, from ~0.8 to ~0.501
ulps. Almost all of the error is from the final rounding step, since
the choice of the minimax polynomials so that their contribution to the
error is a bit less than 0.5 ulps just happens to give contributions that
are significantly less (~.001 ulps).
An Athlons, for uniformly distributed args in [-2pi, 2pi], this gives
overall speed increases in the 10-20% range, despite giving a speed
decrease of typically 19% (from 31 cycles up to 37) for sinf() on args
in [-pi/4, pi/4].
appeared to rely on all kinds of non-guaranteed behaviours: the
transfer abort code assumed that TDs with no interrupt timeout
configured would end up on the done queue within 20ms, the done
queue processing assumed that all TDs from a transfer would appear
at the same time, and there were access-after-free bugs triggered
on failed transfers.
Attempt to fix these problems by the following changes:
- Use a maximum (6-frame) interrupt delay instead of no interrupt
delay to ensure that the 20ms wait in ohci_abort_xfer() is enough
for the TDs to have been taken off the hardware done queue.
- Defer cancellation of timeouts and freeing of TDs until we either
hit an error or reach the final TD.
- Remove TDs from the done queue before freeing them so that it
is safe to continue traversing the done queue.
This appears to fix a hang that was reproducable with revision 1.67
or 1.68 of ulpt.c (earlier revisions had a different transfer
pattern). With certain HP printers, the command "true > /dev/ulpt0"
would cause ohci_add_done() to spin because the done queue had a
loop. The list corruption was caused by a 3-TD transfer where the
first TD completed but remained on the internal host controller
done queue because it had no interrupt timeout. When the transfer
timed out, the TD got freed and reused, so it caused a loop in the
done queue when it was inserted a second time from a different
transfer.

application wishes to request high precision time stamps be returned:
Alias Existing
CLOCK_REALTIME_PRECISE CLOCK_REALTIME
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE CLOCK_MONOTONIC
CLOCK_UPTIME_PRECISE CLOCK_UPTIME
Add experimental low-precision clockid_t names corresponding to these
clocks, but implemented using cached timestamps in kernel rather than
a full time counter query. This offers a minimum update rate of 1/HZ,
but in practice will often be more frequent due to the frequency of
time stamping in the kernel:
New clockid_t name Approximates existing clockid_t
CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST CLOCK_REALTIME
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST CLOCK_MONOTONIC
CLOCK_UPTIME_FAST CLOCK_UPTIME
Add one additional new clockid_t, CLOCK_SECOND, which returns the
current second without performing a full time counter query or cache
lookup overhead to make sure the cached timestamp is stable. This is
intended to support very low granularity consumers, such as time(3).
The names, visibility, and implementation of the above are subject
to change, and will not be MFC'd any time soon. The goal is to
expose lower quality time measurement to applications willing to
sacrifice accuracy in performance critical paths, such as when taking
time stamps for the purpose of rescheduling select() and poll()
timeouts. Future changes might include retrofitting the time counter
infrastructure to allow the "fast" time query mechanisms to use a
different time counter, rather than a cached time counter (i.e.,
TSC).
NOTE: With different underlying time mechanisms exposed, using
different time query mechanisms in the same application may result in
relative non-monoticity or the appearance of clock stalling for a
single clockid_t, as a cached time stamp queried after a precision
time stamp lookup may be "before" the time returned by the earlier
live time counter query.
