[PATCH 1/4] aarch64: Optimise AdvSIMD log1p

James Chesterman James.Chesterman@arm.com
Wed Nov 19 21:40:40 GMT 2025


Optimise AdvSIMD log1p by vectorising the special case.
The special cases are for when the input is:
Less than or equal to -1
+/- INFINITY
+/- NaN

OK for master? If so, please commit for me as I don't have commit rights.
Thanks,
James
