2024-01-08	Remove ia64-linux-gnu	Adhemerval Zanella	1	-1/+0
	Linux 6.7 removed ia64 from the official tree [1], following the general principle that a glibc port needs upstream support for the architecture in all the components it depends on (binutils, GCC, and the Linux kernel). Apart from the removal of sysdeps/ia64 and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64, there are updates to various comments referencing ia64 for which removal of those references seemed appropriate. The configuration is removed from README and build-many-glibcs.py. The CONTRIBUTED-BY, elf/elf.h, manual/contrib.texi (the porting mention), *.po files, config.guess, and longlong.h are not changed. For Linux it allows cleanup some clone2 support on multiple files. The following bug can be closed as WONTFIX: BZ 22634 [2], BZ 14250 [3], BZ 21634 [4], BZ 10163 [5], BZ 16401 [6], and BZ 11585 [7].

2018-09-12	Add new log2 implementation	Szabolcs Nagy	1	-0/+1
	Similar algorithm is used as in log: log2(2^k x) = k + log2(c) + log2(x/c) where the last term is approximated by a polynomial of x/c - 1, the first order coefficient is about 1/ln2 in this case. There is separate code path when fma instruction is not available for computing x/c - 1 precisely, for which the table size is doubled. The worst case error is 0.547 ULP (0.55 without fma), the read only global data size is 1168 bytes (2192 without fma) on aarch64. The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP. Improvements on Cortex-A72 compared to current glibc master: log2 thruput: 2.00x in [0.01 11.1] log2 latency: 2.04x in [0.01 11.1] log2 thruput: 2.17x in [0.999 1.001] log2 latency: 2.88x in [0.999 1.001] Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu (defined __FP_FAST_FMA) arm-linux-gnueabihf (!defined __FP_FAST_FMA) x86_64-linux-gnu (!defined __FP_FAST_FMA) powerpc64le-linxu-gnu (defined __FP_FAST_FMA) targets. * NEWS: Mention log2 improvements. * math/Makefile (type-double-routines): Add e_log2_data. * sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_log2_data.c: New file. * sysdeps/ia64/fpu/e_log2_data.c: New file. * sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_log2.c: Rewrite. * sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_log2_data.c: New file. * sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/math_config.h (__log2_data): Add. * sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/wordsize-64/e_log2.c: Remove. * sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/fpu/e_log2_data.c: New file.
