Fix __ieee754_logl (-LDBL_MAX) in FE_DOWNWARD mode (bug 17022).
This patch fixes __ieee754_logl (-LDBL_MAX) on x86_64 and x86 not to subtract 1 from its argument and so cause spurious overflow in FE_DOWNWARD mode. (For any argument strictly less than -1, it doesn't matter whether or not 1 is subtracted before computing log1p, as long as the result doesn't overflow to -Inf.) Tested x86_64 and x86. (This particular case lacks test coverage, since the testsuite doesn't cover -lieee, but it will be covered by tests after the following patch to test pow in all rounding modes, which was the context in which this bug was found.) [BZ #17022] * sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_logl.S (__ieee754_logl): Do not subtract 1 from arguments -2 or below. * sysdeps/i386/i686/fpu/e_logl.S (__ieee754_logl): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/e_logl.S (__ieee754_logl): Likewise.
