57276bb6ea Un-document the non-extant exp10() and exp10f() functions.
exp10() was a casualty of the transition away from the VAX.

aa28340df9 Revert rev 1.8, which causes small (e.g. 2 ulp) errors for some
inputs.  The trouble with replacing two floats with a double is that
the latter has 6 extra bits of precision, which actually hurts
accuracy in many cases.  All of the constants are optimal when float
arithmetic is used, and would need to be recomputed to do this right.

96efaf6c36 Use double arithmetic instead of simulating it with two floats. This
results in a performance gain on the order of 10% for amd64 (sledge),
ia64 (pluto1), i386+SSE (Pentium 4), and sparc64 (panther), and a
negligible improvement for i386 without SSE.  (The i386 port still
uses the hardware instruction, though.)

f674c13c78 Remove the i387 versions of atan(), atan2(), and atan2f().
They are slower than the MI routines on modern hardware,
except for degenerate cases such as the Pentium 4.

c4691a5da9 Remove i387 versions of asin() and acos(). Although the hardware
instruction was faster on the 486, it's slower than our MD version on
modern processors.

dab1571b90 Remove the float versions of the i387 trig functions obtained from
NetBSD.  They're buggy, giving particularly for inputs larger in
magnitude than 2**63.

29bf6af890 - Move the functions presently described in in ieee(3) to their own
manpages.  They are not very related, so separating them makes it
  easier to add meaningful cross-references and extend some of the
  descriptions.
- Move the part of math(3) that discusses IEEE 754 to the ieee(3)
  manpage.

52611c608e Many changes, including the following major ones:
- Rearrange the list of functions into categories.
- Remove the ulps column.  It was appropriate for only some
  of the functions in the list, and correct for even fewer
  of them.
- Add some new paragraphs, and remove some old ones about
  NaNs that may do more harm than good.
- Document precisions other than double-precision.

3c4d0a0973 If x == y, return y, not x. C99 (though not IEEE 754) requires that
nextafter(+0.0, -0.0) returns -0.0 and nextafter(-0.0, +0.0) returns +0.0.

b6e65225a6 Most libm routines depend on the rounding mode and/or set exception
flags, so they are not pure.  Remove the __pure2 annotation from them.
I believe that the following routines and their float and long double
counterparts are the only ones here that can be __pure2:

	copysign is* fabs finite fmax fmin fpclassify ilogb nan signbit

When gcc supports FENV_ACCESS, perhaps there will be a new annotation
that allows the other functions to be considered pure when FENV_ACCESS
is off.

ce4e53c460 Set math_errhandling to MATH_ERREXCEPT. Now that we have fenv.h, we
basically support this, subject to gcc's lack of FENV_ACCESS support.
In any case, the previous setting of math_errhandling to 0 is not
allowed by POSIX.

f365db00e5 Mark all inline asms that read the floating-point control or status
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.
