Subject: [libc] Use nearest_integer instructions to improve expf performance.
X-Git-Tag: upstream/15.0.7~411
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91ee67206289ec80c3c02f063040fa4638be0d63;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fllvm.git

[libc] Use nearest_integer instructions to improve expf performance.

Use nearest_integer instructions to improve expf performance.

Performance tests with CORE-MATH's perf tool:

Before the patch:
```
$ ./perf.sh expf
LIBC-location: /home/lnt/experiment/llvm-project/build/projects/libc/lib/libllvmlibc.a
GNU libc version: 2.31
GNU libc release: stable
CORE-MATH reciprocal throughput   : 9.860
System LIBC reciprocal throughput : 7.728
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 12.363

$ ./perf.sh expf --latency
LIBC-location: /home/lnt/experiment/llvm-project/build/projects/libc/lib/libllvmlibc.a
GNU libc version: 2.31
GNU libc release: stable
CORE-MATH latency   : 42.802
System LIBC latency : 35.941
LIBC latency        : 49.808
```

After the patch:
```
$ ./perf.sh expf
LIBC-location: /home/lnt/experiment/llvm/llvm-project/build/projects/libc/lib/libllvmlibc.a
GNU libc version: 2.31
GNU libc release: stable
CORE-MATH reciprocal throughput   : 9.441
System LIBC reciprocal throughput : 7.382
LIBC reciprocal throughput        : 8.843

$ ./perf.sh expf --latency
LIBC-location: /home/lnt/experiment/llvm/llvm-project/build/projects/libc/lib/libllvmlibc.a
GNU libc version: 2.31
GNU libc release: stable
CORE-MATH latency   : 44.192
System LIBC latency : 37.693
LIBC latency        : 44.145
```
