dl_open_worker: Memset all of seen array.
The seen array was doubled in size recently, but the memset to clear
the array was not adjusted. We adjust the memset to always be correct
regardless of the size of seen.

New Makefile target `regen-ulps'.
The wiki "Regeneration" page has this to say about update ULPs.
"The libm-test-ulps files are semiautomatically updated. To
update an ulps baseline, run each of the failing tests (test-float,
test-double, etc.) with -u; this will generate a file called ULPs;
concatenate each of those files with the existing libm-test-ulps
file, after removing any entries for particularly huge numbers of
ulps that you do not want to mark as expected. Then run
gen-libm-test.pl -n -u FILE where FILE is the concatenated file
produced in the previous step. This generates a file called
NewUlps which is the new sorted version of libm-test-ulps."
The same information is listed in math/README.libm-test, and is a
lot of manual work that you often want to run over-and-over again
while working on a particular test.
The `regen-ulps' convenience target does this automatically for
developers.
We strictly assume the source tree is readonly and add a
new --output-dir option to libm-test.inc to allow for writing
out ULPs to $(objpfx).
When run the new target does the following:
* Starts with the baseline ULPs file.
* Runs each of the libm math tests with -u.
* Adds new changes seen with -u to the baseline.
* Sorts and prepares the test output with gen-libm-test.pl.
* Leaves math/NewUlps in your build tree to copy to your source
tree, cleanup, and checkin.
The math test documentation in math/README.libm-test is updated
document the new Makefile target.

i386: Fail at configure time for i386 builds.
This change does two things:
* Treats a target i386-* as if it were i686.
* Fails configure if the user is generating code
for i386.
We no longer support i386 code-generation because the i386
lacks the atomic operations we need in glibc.
You can still configure for i386-*, but you get i686 code.
You can't build with --march=i386, --mtune=i386 or a compiler
that defaults to i386 code-generation.
I've added two i386 entries in the master todo list to discuss
merging and renaming:
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#i386
The failure modes are fail-safe here. You compile for i386,
get i686, and try to run on i386 and it fails. The configure
log has a warning saying we elided to i686. There is no situation
that I can see where we run into any serious problems.
The patch makes the current state better in that we get less
confused users and we build successfully in more default
configurations.
The next enhancement would be to add --march=i?86
as suggested in #c20 of BZ#10062 for any i?86-* builds, which
would solve the problem of a 32-bit compiler that defaults to
i386 code-gen and glibc configured for i686-* target. Which
previously failed at build time, and now will fail at configure
time (requires adding --march=i686).
Updated NEWS with BZ #10060 and #10062.
No regressions.

s390/s390x: Undef PSEUDO before redef.
The s390 and s390x sysdep.h files include the more generic sysdep.h.
The more generic sysdep.h defines PSEUDO. This causes an annoying
CPP warning saying the PSEUDO was redefined. This patch removes the
warning by undefining PSEUDO before the redefinition. This is in line
with what all the other machines do.

Fix static build when configured with --disable-hidden-plt
Fixes BZ #15337.
Static builds fail with the following warning:
/home/tools/glibc/glibc/nptl/../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/cancellation.S:80:
undefined reference to `__GI___pthread_unwind'
When the source is configured with --disable-hidden-plt. This is
because the preprocessor conditional in cancellation.S only checks if
the build is for SHARED, whereas hidden_def is defined appropriately
only for a SHARED build that will have symbol versioning *and* hidden
defs are enabled. The last case is false here.
Update bench.out and bench.out.old only upon completion
Write output from the currently running benchmark into a temporary
file and move files around only once the current run is complete.
That way we don't lose data from the last two runs due to an
incomplete run.
Preserve errno across _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED call on XFS
Fix BZ #15305.
On kernel versions earlier than 2.6.29, the Linux kernel exported a
sysctl called restrict_chown for xfs, which could be used to allow
chown to users other than the owner. 2.6.29 removed this support,
causing the open_not_cancel_2 to fail and thus modify errno. The fix
is to save and restore errno so that the caller sees it as unmodified.
Additionally, since the code to check the sysctl is not useful on
newer kernels, we add an ifdef so that in future the code block gets
rmeoved completely.
Separate benchmarks for the fast and slow implementations of pow and
exp since measuring both together doesn't make sense. Adjust the
iterations for pow and exp accordingly so that they run long enough
for the measurements to be meaningful.
PowerPC: remove branch prediction from rint implementation
The branch prediction hints is actually hurts performance in this case.
The assembly implementation make two assumptions: 1. 'fabs (x) < 2^52'
is unlikely and 2. 'x > 0.0' is unlike (if 1. is true). Since it a
general floating point function, expected input is not bounded and then
it is better to let the hardware handle the branches.
Don't add input group during initgroups_dyn in hesiod
Fixes BZ #15304.
The *initgroups_dyn functions are called with a group argument. This
group gid is usually skipped while populating the grouplist since the
caller adds that group id in advance.
The hesiod initgroups_dyn implementation however adds the group gid to
the list if it does not already exist. While it works fine for the
usual initgroups, it breaks nscd since it calls initgroups_dyn with -1
as the gid (to have all groups included).
The compiler is smart enough to convert those into double for powerpc,
but if we put them as doubles, it adds overhead by performing those
operations in floating point mode.
The mantissa of mp_no is intended to take only integral values. This
is a relatively good choice for powerpc due to its 4 fpus, but not for
other architectures, which suffer due to this choice. This change
makes the default mantissa a long integer and allows powerpc to
override it. Additionally, some operations have been optimized for
integer manipulation, resulting in a significant improvement in
performance.
BZ#13889: expl (709.75) wrongly overflows for ldbl-128ibm
The patch increase the high value to check if expl overflows. Current
high mark value is not really correct, the algorithm accepts high values.
It also adds a correct wrapper function to check for overflow and underflow.
This allows us to define custom functions in C code files and
benchmark scenarios rather than just functions. The main current use
of this is to separate the slow and fast path benchmarks for math
functions.
