The current approach tracks math maximum supported errors by explicitly setting them per function and architecture. On newer implementations or new compiler versions, the file is updated with newer values if it shows higher results. The idea is to track the maximum known error, to update the manual with the obtained values. The constant libm-test-ulps shows little value, where it is usually a mechanical change done by the maintainer, for past releases it is usually ignored whether the ulp change resulted from a compiler regression, and the math tests already have a maximum ulp error that triggers a regression. It was shown by a recent update after the new acosf [1] implementation that is correctly rounded, where the libm-test-ulps was indeed from a compiler issue. This patch removes all arch-specific libm-test-ulps, adds system generic libm-test-ulps where applicable, and changes its semantics. The generic files now track specific implementation constraints, like if it is expected to be correctly rounded, or if the system-specific has different error expectations. Now multiple libm-test-ulps can be defined, and system-specific overrides generic implementation. This is for the case where arch-specific implementation might show worse precision than generic implementation, for instance, the cbrtf on i686. Regressions are only reported if the implementation shows larger errors than 9 ulps (13 for IBM long double) unless it is overridden by libm-test-ulps and the maximum error is not printed at the end of tests. The regen-ulps rule is also removed since it does not make sense to update the libm-test-ulps automatically. The manual error table is also removed, Paul Zimmermann and others have been tracking libm precision with a more comprehensive analysis for some releases; so link to his work instead.
