Bruce Evans c01611e437 As for __kernel_cosf() and __kernel_sinf(), use a fairly optimal minimax
polynomial for __kernel_tanf().  The old one was the double-precision
polynomial with coefficients truncated to float.  Truncation is not
a good way to convert minimax polynomials to lower precision.  Optimize
for efficiency and use the lowest-degree polynomial that gives a
relative error of less than 1 ulp.  It has degree 13 instead of 27,
and happens to be 2.5 times more accurate (in infinite precision) than
the old polynomial (the maximum error is 0.017 ulps instead of 0.041
ulps).

Unlike for cosf and sinf, the old accuracy was close to being inadequate
-- the polynomial for double precision has a max error of 0.014 ulps
and nearly this small an error is needed.  The new accuracy is also a
bit small, but exhaustive checking shows that even the old accuracy
was enough.  The increased accuracy reduces the maximum relative error
in the final result on amd64 -O1 from 0.9588 ulps to 0.9044 ulps.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
