This is a follow-up to r321483, which disabled -Wmacro-redefined for
some lib/msun tests.
If an application included both fenv.h and ieeefp.h, several macros such
as __fldcw(), __fldenv() were defined in both headers, with slightly
different arguments, leading to conflicts.
Fix this by putting all the common macros in the machine-specific
versions of ieeefp.h. Where needed, update the arguments in places
where the macros are invoked.
This also slightly reduces the differences between the amd64 and i386
versions of ieeefp.h.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
the build on i386. Leave them in the source tree for regression tests.
The asm functions were always much less accurate (by a factor of more
than 10**18 in the worst case). They were faster on old CPUs. But
with each new generation of CPUs they get relatively slower. The
double precision C version's average advantage is about a factor of 2
on Haswell.
The asm functions were already intentionally avoided in float and long
double precision on i386 and in all precisions on amd64. Float
precision and amd64 give larger advantages to the C version. The long
double precision C code and compilers' understanding of long double
precision are not so good, so the i387 is still slightly faster for
long double precision, except for the unimportant subcase of huge args
where the sub-optimal C code now somehow beats the i387 by about a
factor of 2.
versions of fmodf() amd fmodl() on i387.
fmod is similar to remainder, and the C versions are 3 to 9 times
slower than the asm versions on x86 for both, but we had the strange
mixture of all 6 variants of remainder in asm and only 1 of 6
variants of fmod in asm.
fenv.h that are currently inlined.
The definitions are provided in fenv.c via 'extern inline'
declaractions. This assumes the compiler handles 'extern inline' as
specified in C99, which has been true under FreeBSD since 8.0.
The goal is to eventually remove the 'static' keyword from the inline
definitions in fenv.h, so that non-inlined references all wind up
pointing to the same external definition like they're supposed to.
I am deferring the second step to provide a window where
newly-compiled apps will still link against old math libraries.

at compile time regardless of the dynamic precision, and there's
no way to disable this misfeature at compile time. Hence, it's
impossible to generate the appropriate tables of constants for the
long double inverse trig functions in a straightforward way on i386;
this change hacks around the problem by encoding the underlying bits
in the table.
Note that these functions won't pass the regression test on i386,
even with the FPU set to extended precision, because the regression
test is similarly damaged by gcc. However, the tests all pass when
compiled with a modified version of gcc.

Details: As a side-effect of restoring a saved FP environment,
fesetenv() overwrites the tag word, which indicates which i387
registers are in use. Normally this isn't a problem because
the calling convention requires the register stack to be empty
on function entry and exit. However, fesetenv() is inlined, so we
need to tell gcc explicitly that the i387 registers get clobbered.

functions are only for compatibility with obsolete standards. They
shouldn't be used, so they shouldn't be optimized. Use the generic
versions instead.
This fixes scalbf() as a side effect. The optimized asm version left
garbage on the FP stack. I fixed the corresponding bug in the optimized
asm scalb() and scalbn() in 1996. NetBSD fixed it in scalb(), scalbn()
and scalbnf() in 1999 but missed fixing it in scalbf(). Then in 2005
the bug was reimplemented in FreeBSD by importing NetBSD's scalbf().
The generic versions have slightly different error handling:
- the asm versions blindly round the second parameter to a (floating
point) integer and proceed, while the generic versions return NaN
if this rounding changes the value. POSIX permits both behaviours
(these functions are XSI extensions and the behaviour for a bogus
non-integral second parameter is unspecified). Apart from this
and the bug in scalbf(), the behaviour of the generic versions seems
to be identical. (I only exhusatively tested
generic_scalbf(1.0F, anyfloat) == asm_scalb(1.0F, anyfloat). This
covers many representative corner cases involving NaNs and Infs but
doesn't test exception flags. The brokenness of scalbf() showed up
as weird behaviour after testing just 7 integer cases sequentially.)
The log message for 1.5 said that some small (one or two ulp) inaccuracies
were fixed, and a comment implied that the critical change is to switch
the rounding mode to to-nearest, with a switch of the precision to
extended at no extra cost. Actually, the errors are very large (ucbtest
finds ones of several hundred ulps), and it is the switch of the
precision that is critical.
Another comment was wrong about NaNs being handled sloppily.
floating-point arithmetic on i386. Now I'm going to make excuses
for why this code is kinda scary:
- To avoid breaking the ABI with 5.3-RELEASE, we can't change
sizeof(fenv_t). I stuck the saved mxcsr in some discontiguous
reserved bits in the existing structure.
- Attempting to access the mxcsr on older processors results
in an illegal instruction exception, so support for SSE must
be detected at runtime. (The extra baggage is optimized away
if either the application or libm is compiled with -msse{,2}.)
I didn't run tests to ensure that this doesn't SIGILL on older 486's
lacking the cpuid instruction or on other processors lacking SSE.
Results from running the fenv regression test on these processors
would be appreciated. (You'll need to compile the test with
-DNO_STRICT_DFL_ENV.) If you have an 80386, or if your processor
supports SSE but the kernel didn't enable it, then you're probably out
of luck.
Also, I un-inlined some of the functions that grew larger as a result
of this change, moving them from fenv.h to fenv.c.
fedisableexcept(), and fegetexcept(). These two sets of routines
provide the same functionality. I implemented the former as an
undocumented internal interface to make the regression test easier to
write. However, fe(enable|disable|get)except() is already part of
glibc, and I would like to avoid gratuitous differences. The only
major flaw in the glibc API is that there's no good way to report
errors on processors that don't support all the unmasked exceptions.
registers as volatile. Instructions that *wrote* to FP state were
already marked volatile, but apparently gcc has license to move
non-volatile asms past volatile asms. This broke amd64's feupdateenv
at -O2 due to a WAR conflict between fnstsw and fldenv there.
