  Version 10 of proposed patch.

Add removal of sysdeps/i386/fpu/slowexp.c, sysdeps/ia64/fpu/slowexp.c
and sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/fpu/slowexp.c as building of slowexp.c no
longer needs to be overriden in these architectures.

Reverted eexp.tbl to 64 entries for scaling table and changed back to
invln2_64, ln2_64hi, ln2_64lo. Reduces L1 cache impact of table at
cost of increasing frequency of 1 ulp differences from old method.

Cleaned up trailing white space in e_exp.c

Performance gain for typical values is 2x on Sparc and 5x on x86.
SET_RESTORE_ROUND is particularly slow on Sparc.  Investigating the
root cause is out of scope for this patch, but worthy of later study
as the same issue may be seen elsewhere.  For those values which
triggered calls to "slowexp" in the previous algorithm, the speedup on
both Sparc and x86 is over 100x. Over a range of randomly generated
values, these slow cases are rare but have been reported to be notable
in some applications.

Version 9 of proposed patch.

Replaced get_rounding_mode and libc_fesetround() with SET_RESTORE_ROUND
to avoid Intel rounding mode issue which showed as test failures in
tgamma_upward. Adds noticable overhead for platforms that incur
significant cost when rounding mode is already FE_TONEAREST. Added
SET_RESTORE_ROUND to two more cases which resolved 1 ulp rounding
errors for cexp().

Expanded the scaling table from 64 entries to 128 entries, renaming
invln2_64 to invln2_256 as well as ln2_64hi and ln2_64lo to ln2_256hi
and ln2_256lo. That reduces the 1 ulp error rate per 1000 values from
1.6 to 0.6.

Even with all changes, performance gain is still quite dramatic.
Adding libc_fegetround, libc_fegetroundf and libc_fegetroundl to
the math_private and fenv_private.h macros would allow using
libc_fegetround and libc_fesetround as a future performance enhancement.

Version 8 of proposed patch.

Renamed ln2_32hi2 and ln2_32lo2 to be ln2_64hi and ln2_64lo.
Revised comments to more accurately describe these constants.
Revised constants t2, t3, t4, t5 to better match values of 1/n factorial.
Change eliminated 1 ulp error in 942 tests out 40 million values tested.

Version 7 of proposed patch.

Fixed formatting issue in sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_exp.c

Version 6 of proposed patch.

Fixed error in patch revision.
Cleaned up formatting of return () and location of '+' for line breaks.
Fixed comments in eexp.tbl. Adjusted 3 values in eexp.tbl to be correctly
rounded in ulp as computed by quad precision.

Modified e_exp.c and eexp.tbl to use table of 64 intervals instead of
32 intervals for computing exp(x). That change reduced the differences
from the prior ieee754 exp(x) to 16 in 10,000 from 29 in 10,000. Also
reduced the make check differences for exp to 1 from 3. No observed
change in performance for using the larger table on either x86 or Sparc.

Version 5 of proposed patch.

Cleaned up formatting of comments and braces.
Returned to single patch for submission.

Version 4 of proposed patch.

New comments revised to use GNU standard comment formating.
Limited comment added in eexp.tbl for TBL[]. The original src
used for porting to Linux did not have a comment about TBL[].
The new comment is limited to the current worker's level of
understanding.

The (-xx.x > threshold2) case is changed to return force_underflow.
For FE_TONEAREST, tiny*tiny will always be zero but for
FE_UPWARD, it will be the smallest representable value.

That change caused no change in the math test results for Sparc or x86.

Version 3 changes

All hex constants in version 2 replaced with C99 double hex constants,
allowing Big Endian and Little Endian versions to be merged.
Only e_exp.c and eexp.tbl changed from version 2.
Minor changes in performance results due to system noise.
No other changes from version 2.

Version 2 of proposed patch.
Revised copyright notice and formatting issues.
Removed slowexp.c and related references.
Replaced tables of double constants with hex constants, taking special
  attention to correctly handle little endian and big endian versions.
  Using hex initialization also required changing variables to be declared
  as unions.  Tables moved from e_exp.c to sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/eexp.tbl.
Replaced __fegetround(), __fesetround() with get_rounding_mode and
  libc_fesetround().
Removed use of "small". "inexact mode" now ignored.
Retested and rebenchmarked on sparc and x86 with the above changes.

These changes will be active for all platforms that don't provide
their own exp() routines. They will also be active for ieee754
versions of ccos, ccosh, cosh, csin, csinh, sinh, exp10, gamma, and
erf.

Typical performance gains is typically around 5x when measured on
Sparc s7 for common values between exp(1) and exp(40).

Using the glibc perf tests on sparc,
      sparc (nsec)    x86 (nsec)
      old     new     old     new
max   17629   395    5173     144
min     399    54      15      13
mean   5317   200    1349      23

The extreme max times for the old (ieee754) exp are due to the
multiprecision computation in the old algorithm when the true value is
very near 0.5 ulp away from an value representable in double
precision. The new algorithm does not take special measures for those
cases. The current glibc exp perf tests overrepresent those values.
Informal testing suggests approximately one in 200 cases might
invoke the high cost computation. The performance advantage of the new
algorithm for other values is still large but not as large as indicated
by the chart above.

Glibc correctness tests for exp() and expf() were run. Within the
test suite 3 input values were found to cause 1 bit differences (ulp)
when "FE_TONEAREST" rounding mode is set. No differences in exp() were
seen for the tested values for the other rounding modes.
Typical example:
exp(-0x1.760cd2p+0)  (-1.46113312244415283203125)
 new code:    2.31973271630014299393707e-01   0x1.db14cd799387ap-3
 old code:    2.31973271630014271638132e-01   0x1.db14cd7993879p-3
    exp    =  2.31973271630014285508337 (high precision)
Old delta: off by 0.49 ulp
New delta: off by 0.51 ulp

In addition, because ieee754_exp() is used by other routines, cexp()
showed test results with very small imaginary input values where the
imaginary portion of the result was off by 3 ulp when in upward
rounding mode, but not in the other rounding modes.  For x86, tgamma
showed a few values where the ulp increased to 6 (max ulp for tgamma
is 5). Sparc tgamma did not show these failures.  I presume the tgamma
differences are due to compiler optimization differences within the
gamma function.The gamma function is known to be difficult to compute
accurately.

These are exactly the same figures as in the previous version that was 
reverted.  Are you *sure* they are the correct results of retesting with 
this patch version?  Remember, the patch submission message must be 
correct for the patch version being submitted and there must be an 
unambiguous division between the content intended for the commit message 
(describing the current patch version) and any other content such as 
descriptions of differences from previous patch versions (which don't go 
in the commit message).

I'd suggest following the conventions used by the Linux kernel, of the 
description of the current patch version for the commit message going 
*first*, then a line "---", then any other text not for the commit message 
(such as information about differences from previous patch versions), then 
the diff itself.

Is this still accurate for the current patch version?

If you tested on a platform requiring ulps updates, you should include the 
updates from "make regen-ulps" as part of the patch, and explicitly 
confirm that, given the patch applied including those ulps updates, all 
the math/ tests PASS on platforms that you specify in the patch submission 
message.

I have not been updating any of the earlier comments when I responded
to the later comments. I just added the newest comment to the top of
the earlier patch comments to allow easy access to this PATCH history.
If we need another patch, I'll rework the comments as you suggest.

Here is the latest update for the performance tables:

All numbers rerun with the Jan 2, 2018 src code base:
       sparc (nsec)    x86 (nsec)
       old     new     old     new
max   17584   873    5158    1380
min     399    96      15      16
mean   5497   419    1333      24

Modest increases on x86 but roughly doubling on Sparc makes me think
that SET_RESTORE_ROUND has an opportunity for improvement on Sparc.

For the accuracy issue, we no longer see any failures on cexp() or
tgamma(). The tgamma() failure went away with the SET_RESTORE_ROUND
fix. As part of the SET_RESTORE_ROUND fix, I realized I had missed
handling rounding for a special case. When I fixed that, the cexp()
errors went away.

There only test value that fails now is:
Failure: Test: exp (-0x2.c469ep+8)
Result:
  is:          2.1872267636802106e-308   0x0.fba54632dddc0p-1022
  should be:   2.1872267636802101e-308   0x0.fba54632dddbfp-1022
  difference:  4.9406564584124654e-324   0x0.0000000000001p-1022
  ulp       :  1.0000
  max.ulp   :  0.0000

[Side note: this diff is still present with the 256 size table.]

I'm not clear about how "make regen-ulps" is part of the patch process.
I've not seen any discussion of that before.
Do I need to include the changes to the ulp test data as part
of the patch? I had assumed that was handled as a separate
patch after the code changes were merged.

Also, when I run "make check" on the base code for Sparc, I'm getting
some additional ulp failures for cpow, ctan, ctanh and a few others.
These did not occur with my 8th patch submission but did with my
9th patch. They do not occur on the x86 tests.
These ulp failures are unchanged by my exp() code, so I've
concluded they are not related to my work.

Please start from the rewritten ChangeLog entry I used when committing 
your previous patch.  It's likely the only change needed to the ChangeLog 
entry is to add the ulps regeneration.

The entirety of any proposed commit is subject to review.  This includes 
the commit message as well as the patch itself.  That means it must be 
unambiguous exactly what the proposed commit message is - and that message 
must all be in one place, not needing composing from pieces in multiple 
messages, and must correspond to the patch sent with that message.  Again, 
I recommend the same format used by the Linux kernel, of having the commit 
message first, with anything about changes between different patch 
versions afterwards, following a "---" line.  That's also what "git am" 
expects (though we can't quite use git am for glibc because of the need to 
update the ChangeLog file at commit time).

Any patch submission should have non-regressing test results, on at least 
one platform that is explicitly named in the commit message as a platform 
on which the patch was tested.

This means that if a patch needs ulps updates to avoid FAILs of math/ 
tests, those ulps updates (on at least one named platform used for 
testing) must be included in the patch, and the patch as posted, complete 
with the ulps updates, must have been tested without resulting 
regressions.  It should be obvious from the problems with the previous 
patch version that it's *not* sufficient simply to eyeball the logs for 
failing tests - you need actually to update ulps and to confirm that FAILs 
don't appear given the ulps updates, because there are other ways those 
tests can fail that are not fixed by such updates.

If you test on more than one platform, including the ulps updates for all 
those platforms in the patch is a good idea.

If there are preexisting ulps failures, that means you need to send two 
patches.  The first one would be the results of "make regen-ulps" for 
current glibc, to fix the preexisting failures (and such a patch could be 
committed as obvious without prior review).  The second one would be 
relative to a tree with the first one applied, and would include whatever 
further ulps updates the exp patch requires.

Architecture maintainers should update ulps files as needed during the 
release freeze, and they or others may also do updates at other times as 
and when convenient.

+/* exp(x)
+   Hybrid algorithm of Peter Tang's Table driven method (for large
+   arguments) and an accurate table (for small arguments).
+   Written by K.C. Ng, November 1988.
+   Revised by Patrick McGehearty, Jan 2018 to use j/64 instead of j/32
+   and to round with FE_TONEAREST if another rounding mode is set on entry.
+   Method (large arguments):
+	1. Argument Reduction: given the input x, find r and integer k
+	   and j such that
+	             x = (k+j/64)*(ln2) + r,  |r| <= (1/128)*ln2
+
+	2. exp(x) = 2^k * (2^(j/64) + 2^(j/64)*expm1(r))
+	   a. expm1(r) is approximated by a polynomial:
+	      expm1(r) ~ r + t1*r^2 + t2*r^3 + ... + t5*r^6
+	      Here t1 = 1/2 exactly.
+	   b. 2^(j/64) is represented to twice double precision
+	      as TBL[2j]+TBL[2j+1].
+
+   Note: If divide were fast enough, we could use another approximation
+	 in 2.a:
+	      expm1(r) ~ (2r)/(2-R), R = r - r^2*(t1 + t2*r^2)
+	      (for the same t1 and t2 as above)
+
+   Special cases:
+	exp(INF) is INF, exp(NaN) is NaN;
+	exp(-INF)=  0;
+	for finite argument, only exp(0)=1 is exact.
+
+   Accuracy:
+	According to an error analysis, the error is always less than
+	an ulp (unit in the last place).  The largest errors observed
+	are less than 0.55 ulp for normal results and less than 0.75 ulp
+	for subnormal results.
+
+   Misc. info.
+	For IEEE double
+		if x >  7.09782712893383973096e+02 then exp(x) overflow
+		if x < -7.45133219101941108420e+02 then exp(x) underflow.  */
