Fix ldbl-128ibm acoshl inaccuracy (bug 18019).
The ldbl-128ibm implementation of acoshl uses a cut-off of 0x1p28 to determine when to use log(x) + log(2) as a formula. That cut-off is too small for this format, resulting in large errors. This patch changes it to a more appropriate cut-off of 0x1p56, adding tests around the cut-offs for various floating-point formats. Tested for powerpc. Also tested for x86_64 and x86 and updated ulps. [BZ #18019] * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_acoshl.c (__ieee754_acoshl): Use 2**56 not 2**28 as threshold for log (2x) formula. * math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of acosh. * math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated. * sysdeps/i386/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Update. * sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Likewise.
