    cmd/{asm,internal/obj/s390x}, math: remove emulated float instructions · a5246168
    Michael Munday authored
    The s390x port was based on the ppc64 port and, because of the way the
    port was done, inherited some instructions from it. ppc64 supports
    3-operand (4-operand for FMADD etc.) floating point instructions
    but s390x doesn't (the destination register is always an input) and
    so these were emulated.
    
    There is a bug in the emulation of FMADD whereby if the destination
    register is also a source for the multiplication it will be
    clobbered. This doesn't break any assembly code in the std lib but
    could affect future work.
    
    To fix this I have gone through the floating point instructions and
    removed all unnecessary 3-/4-operand emulation. The compiler doesn't
    need it and assembly writers don't need it, it's just a source of
    bugs.
    
    I've also deleted the FNMADD family of emulated instructions. They
    aren't used anywhere.
