    math: check overflow in amd64 Exp implementation · f44e5870
    Alberto Donizetti authored
    Unlike the pure go implementation used by every other architecture,
    the amd64 asm implementation of Exp does not fail early if the
    argument is known to overflow. Make it fail early.
    
    Cost of the check is < 1ns (on an old Sandy Bridge machine):
    
    name   old time/op  new time/op  delta
    Exp-4  18.3ns ± 1%  18.7ns ± 1%  +2.08%  (p=0.000 n=18+20)
    
    Fixes #14932
    Fixes #18912
