commit 846d9a4a3acdb4939ca7bf6aed48f9f6f26911be

    Fix i386 / x86_64 nearbyint exception clearing (bug 15491).

    The implementations of nearbyint functions using x87 floating point
    (i386 all versions, x86_64 long double only) use the fclex
    instruction, which clears any exceptions that were raised before the
    function was called.  These functions must not clear exceptions that
    were raised before they were called.

    This patch fixes these functions to save and restore the whole
    floating-point environment (fnstenv / fldenv) as the way of avoiding
    raising "inexact" (recall that there isn't an x87 instruction for
    loading just the status word, so the whole environment has to be saved
    and loaded instead - the code already saved and loaded the control
    word, which is now obtained from the saved environment after this
    patch, to disable traps on "inexact").  In the case of the long double
    functions, any "invalid" exception from frndint (applied to a
    signaling NaN) needs merging into the saved state; this issue doesn't
    apply to the float and double functions because that exception would
    have been raised when the argument is loaded, before the environment
    is saved.

        [BZ #15491]
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_nearbyint.S (__nearbyint): Save and restore
        floating-point environment instead of clearing all exceptions.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_nearbyintf.S (__nearbyintf): Likewise.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_nearbyintl.S (__nearbyintl): Likewise,
        merging in "invalid" exceptions from frndint.
        * sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/s_nearbyintl.S (__nearbyintl): Likewise.
        * math/test-nearbyint-except.c: New file.
        * math/Makefile (tests): Add test-nearbyint-except.
