  Converting double precision constants to float is now affected by the
runtime dynamic rounding mode instead of being evaluated at compile
time with default rounding mode (except static object initializers).

This can change the computed result and cause performance regression.
The known correctness issues (increased ulp errors) are already fixed,
this patch fixes remaining cases of unnecessary runtime conversions.

Add float M_* macros to math.h as new GNU extension API.  To avoid
conversions the new M_* macros are used and instead of casting double
literals to float, use float literals (only required if the conversion
is inexact).

The patch was tested on aarch64 where the following symbols had new
spurious conversion instructions that got fixed:

  __clog10f
  __gammaf_r_finite@GLIBC_2.17
  __j0f_finite@GLIBC_2.17
  __j1f_finite@GLIBC_2.17
  __jnf_finite@GLIBC_2.17
  __kernel_casinhf
  __lgamma_negf
  __log1pf
  __y0f_finite@GLIBC_2.17
  __y1f_finite@GLIBC_2.17
  cacosf
  cacoshf
  casinhf
  catanf
  catanhf
  clogf
  gammaf_positive

Fixes bug 28713.

As a new user-visible feature, I think the new macros should get a NEWS 
entry.

Dear Szabolcs,

+# define M_PI_2f	1.57079632679489661923f	/* pi/2 */

-      __real__ res = (FLOAT) M_MLIT (M_PI_2) - __real__ y;
+      __real__ res = M_MLIT (M_PI_2) - __real__ y;

I wonder why your patch never uses M_PI_2f. Should it be M_PI_2f above?

Best regards,
Paul

this is template code under math/ and M_MLIT (M_PI_2) should
expand to M_PI_2f when it is used for the float variant.

see the change in
sysdeps/generic/math-type-macros-float.h

ok.

While looking at that patch, in math/math.h, I thought new constants should
be declared as hexadecimal values?

+# define M_Ef		2.7182818284590452354f	/* e */

Otherwise this patch seems good to me.

this is a public header, i think decimal consts
are used because hexadecimal is >=c99 only and
not c++ compatible (at least before c++17).

ok, this looks good to me, all test still pass with gcc 12 (on x86_64 linux),
except elf/tst-env-setuid, but I believe this is unrelated.
