Math calls to libc-2.23 compiled with g++ 5.3.1 (Ubuntu 16.04) process 2.5 time slower compared to libc-2.19 compiled with g++ 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 14.04)

[Alex]

I started to use Ubuntu 16.04 with gcc 5.3.1-14ubuntu2.1, libc 2.23-0ubuntu3.
And I wrote a simple program:

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>

#define CYCLE_NUM 1E+7

using namespace std;
using namespace std::chrono;

int main()
{
    double sum = 0.0;

    auto t1 = high_resolution_clock::now();
    for(int i = 1; i < CYCLE_NUM; i++)
    {
        sum += sin((double)(i)) / (double)(i);
    }
    auto t2 = high_resolution_clock::now();

    microseconds::rep t = duration_cast<microseconds>(t2-t1).count();

    cout << "sum = " << sum << endl;
    cout << "time = " << (double)(t) / 1.E+6 << endl;

    return 0;
}

which compiled with command:

g++ -std=c++11 -O3 main.cpp -o sum

This program work 2.5 times slower than the same program in Ubuntu 14.04.3 with gcc 4.8.4 libc-2.19 compiled with the same command.

I've tried to compile the same code in VS C++ 2015 with the same level of optimization and I've got almost the same time as I've got in Ubuntu 14.04 (gcc 4.8.4 libc-2.19).

My proc is i7-5820, haswell.

It seems that math functions (no only sin, also cos, exp) now process significantly slower compared to older versions of c++ libraries or compiler.

I am going to mark this as a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1663280 even though you reported the bug significantly earlier. The other bug reported has a bunch of additional information, though, and it has explanations and workarounds.
