commit 137cef7d433407bd2ded8bcc5bea70e5858df47a
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>

    Fix ldbl-128ibm asinhl inaccuracy (bug 18020).

    The ldbl-128ibm implementation of asinhl uses cut-offs of 0x1p28 and
    0x1p-29 to determine when to use simpler formulas that avoid possible
    overflow / underflow.  Both those cut-offs are inappropriate for this
    format, resulting in large errors.  This patch changes the code to use
    more appropriate cut-offs of 0x1p56 and 0x1p-56, 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 #18020]
        * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_asinhl.c (__asinhl): Use 2**56 and
        2**-56 not 2**28 and 2**-29 as thresholds for simpler formulas.
        * math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of asinh.
        * math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Update.
        * sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/libm-test-ulps: Likewise.
