Bug 16293 is inaccuracy of x86/x86_64 versions of expm1, near 0 in directed rounding modes, that arises from frndint rounding the exponent to 1 or -1 instead of 0, resulting in large cancellation error. This inaccuracy in turn affects other functions such as sinh that use expm1. This patch fixes the problem by setting round-to-nearest mode temporarily around the affected calls to frndint. I don't think this is needed for other uses of frndint, such as in exp itself, as only for expm1 is the cancellation error significant. Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly. * sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]: Set round-to-nearest mode when using frndint. * sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1.S (__expm1): Likewise. * sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_expm1f.S (__expm1f): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/e_expl.S (IEEE754_EXPL) [USE_AS_EXPM1L]: Likewise. * math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of expm1. Do not expect sinh test to fail. * math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated. * math/libm-test.inc (TEST_COND_x86_64): Remove macro. (TEST_COND_x86): Likewise. (expm1_tonearest_test_data): New array. (expm1_test_tonearest): New function. (expm1_towardzero_test_data): New array. (expm1_test_towardzero): New function. (expm1_downward_test_data): New array. (expm1_test_downward): New function. (expm1_upward_test_data): New array. (expm1_test_upward): New function. (main): Run the new test functions. * sysdeps/i386/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Update. * sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Likewise. |
