Description Siddhesh Poyarekar 2013-06-25 14:21:59 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #976624 +++

Description of problem:

Some libm functions implement only rounding to nearest, so to ensure correctness they set and restore the default rounding mode.  This is unnecessary in the default case and is hence a performance impediment.  Upstream has solved this by calling the set/restore code only when the current rounding mode is not the default.  Backport that fix.
