math: use SIMD to accelerate some scalar math functions on s390x
Note, most math functions are structured to use stubs, so that they can
be accelerated with assembly on any platform.
Sinh, cosh, and tanh were not structued with stubs, so this CL does
that. This set of routines was chosen as likely to produce good speedups
with assembly on any platform.
Technique used was minimax polynomial approximation using tables of
polynomial coefficients, with argument range reduction.
A table of scaling factors was also used for cosh and log10.
before after speedup
BenchmarkCos 22.1 ns/op 6.79 ns/op 3.25x
BenchmarkCosh 125 ns/op 11.7 ns/op 10.68x
BenchmarkLog10 48.4 ns/op 12.5 ns/op 3.87x
BenchmarkSin 22.2 ns/op 6.55 ns/op 3.39x
BenchmarkSinh 125 ns/op 14.2 ns/op 8.80x
BenchmarkTanh 65.0 ns/op 15.1 ns/op 4.30x
Accuracy was tested against a high precision
reference function to determine maximum error.
Approximately 4,000,000 points were tested for each function,
producing the following result.
Note: ulperr is error in "units in the last place"
max
ulperr
sin 1.43 (returns NaN beyond +-2^50)
cos 1.79 (returns NaN beyond +-2^50)
cosh 1.05
sinh 3.02
tanh 3.69
log10 1.75
Also includes a set of tests to test non-vector functions even
when SIMD is enabled

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.
Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
