The error handling is moved to sysdeps/ieee754 version with no SVID
support. The compatibility symbol versions still use the wrapper
with SVID error handling around the new code. There is no new symbol
version nor compatibility code on !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT targets
(e.g. riscv).
The ia64 is unchanged, since it still uses the arch specific
__libm_error_region on its implementation. For both i686 and m68k,
which provive arch specific implementation, wrappers are added so
no new symbol are added (which would require to change the
implementations).
It shows an small improvement, the results for fmod:

This uses a new algorithm similar to already proposed earlier [1].
With x = mx * 2^ex and y = my * 2^ey (mx, my, ex, ey being integers),
the simplest implementation is:
mx * 2^ex == 2 * mx * 2^(ex - 1)
while (ex > ey)
{
mx *= 2;
--ex;
mx %= my;
}
With mx/my being mantissa of double floating pointer, on each step the
argument reduction can be improved 11 (which is sizeo of uint64_t minus
MANTISSA_WIDTH plus the signal bit):
while (ex > ey)
{
mx << 11;
ex -= 11;
mx %= my;
} */
The implementation uses builtin clz and ctz, along with shifts to
convert hx/hy back to doubles. Different than the original patch,
this path assume modulo/divide operation is slow, so use multiplication
with invert values.
I see the following performance improvements using fmod benchtests
(result only show the 'mean' result):

Instead of using the math_private.h definitions, I used the
math_config.h instead which is used on newer math implementations.

The algorithm is exp(y * log(x)), where log(x) is computed with about
1.3*2^-68 relative error (1.5*2^-68 without fma), returning the result
in two doubles, and the exp part uses the same algorithm (and lookup
tables) as exp, but takes the input as two doubles and a sign (to handle
negative bases with odd integer exponent). The __exp1 internal symbol
is no longer necessary.
There is separate code path when fma is not available but the worst case
error is about 0.54 ULP in both cases. The lookup table and consts for
log are 4168 bytes. The .rodata+.text is decreased by 37908 bytes on
aarch64. The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP.

Similar algorithm is used as in log: log2(2^k x) = k + log2(c) + log2(x/c)
where the last term is approximated by a polynomial of x/c - 1, the first
order coefficient is about 1/ln2 in this case.
There is separate code path when fma instruction is not available for
computing x/c - 1 precisely, for which the table size is doubled.
The worst case error is 0.547 ULP (0.55 without fma), the read only

Optimized log using carefully generated lookup table with 1/c and log(c)
values for small intervalls around 1. The log(c) is very near a double
precision value, it has about 62 bits precision. The algorithm is
log(2^k x) = k log(2) + log(c) + log(x/c), where the last term is
approximated by a polynomial of x/c - 1. Near 1 a single polynomial of
x - 1 is used.
There is separate code path when fma instruction is not available for
computing x/c - 1 precisely, in which case the table size is doubled.
The code uses __builtin_fma under __FP_FAST_FMA to ensure it is inlined
as an instruction.
With the default configuration settings the worst case error is 0.519 ULP
(and 0.520 without fma), the rodata size is 2192 bytes (4240 without fma).
The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP.

Optimized exp and exp2 implementations using a lookup table for
fractional powers of 2. There are several variants, see e_exp_data.c,
they can be selected by modifying math_config.h allowing different
tradeoffs.
The default selection should be acceptable as generic libm code.
Worst case error is 0.509 ULP for exp and 0.507 ULP for exp2, on
aarch64 the rodata size is 2160 bytes, shared between exp and exp2.
On aarch64 .text + .rodata size decreased by 24912 bytes.
The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP even on targets
without efficient round implementation (although the error rate is
higher in that case). Targets with single instruction, rounding mode
independent, to nearest integer rounding and conversion can use them
by setting TOINT_INTRINSICS and adding the necessary code to their
math_private.h.
The __exp1 code uses the same algorithm, so the error bound of pow
increased a bit.
New double precision error handling code was added following the
style of the single precision error handling code.
Improvements on Cortex-A72 compared to current glibc master:

exp2 thruput: 2.03x in [-9.9 9.9]
exp2 latency: 1.64x in [-9.9 9.9]
For small (< 1) inputs the current exp code uses a separate algorithm
so the speed up there is less.
Was tested on

only non-nearest rounding ulp errors increase and they are within
acceptable bounds (ulp updates are in separate patches).
