All of the architectures except ppc64 have only "RET" for the return
mnemonic. ppc64 used to have only "RETURN", but commit cf06ea6
introduced RET as a synonym for RETURN to make ppc64 consistent with
the other architectures. However, that commit was never followed up to
make the code itself consistent by eliminating uses of RETURN.
This commit replaces all uses of RETURN in the ppc64 assembly with
RET.

A decimal represented 0.0 with a 0-length mantissa and undefined

This is a fairly significant _internal_ representation change. Instead
of encoding 0, finite, infinite, and NaN values with special mantissa
and exponent values, a new (1 byte) 'form' field is used (without making
the Float struct bigger). The form field permits simpler and faster
case distinctions. As a side benefit, for zero and non-finite floats,
fewer fields need to be set. Also, the exponent range is not the full
int32 range (in the old format, infExp and nanExp were used to represent
Inf and NaN values and tests for those values sometimes didn't test
for the empty mantissa, so the range was reduced by 2 values).
The correspondence between the old and new fields is as follows.
Old representation:
x neg mant exp
---------------------------------------------------------------
+/-0 sign empty 0
0 < |x| < +Inf sign mantissa exponent
+/-Inf sign empty infExp
NaN false empty nanExp
New representation (- stands for ignored fields):
x neg mant exp form
---------------------------------------------------------------
+/-0 sign - - zero
0 < |x| < +Inf sign mantissa exponent finite
+/-Inf sign - - inf
NaN - - - nan

The extra-clever code in Sincos is trying to do
if v&2 == 0 {
mask = 0xffffffffffffffff
} else {
mask = 0
}
It does this by turning v&2 into a float64 X0 and then using
MOVSD $0.0, X3
CMPSD X0, X3, 0
That CMPSD is defined to behave like:
if X0 == X3 {
X3 = 0xffffffffffffffff
} else {
X3 = 0
}
which gives the desired mask in X3. The goal in using the
CMPSD was to avoid a conditional branch.
This code fails when called from a PortAudio callback.
In particular, the failure behavior is exactly as if the
CMPSD always chose the 'true' execution.
Notice that the comparison X0 == X3 is comparing as
floating point values the 64-bit pattern v&2 and the actual
floating point value zero. The only possible values for v&2
are 0x0000000000000000 (floating point zero)
and 0x0000000000000002 (floating point 1e-323, a denormal).
If they are both comparing equal to zero, I conclude that
in a PortAudio callback (whatever that means), the processor
is running in "denormals are zero" mode.
I confirmed this by placing the processor into that mode
and running the test case in the bug; it produces the
incorrect output reported in the bug.
In general, if a Go program changes the floating point math
modes to something other than what Go expects, the math
library is not going to work exactly as intended, so we might
be justified in not fixing this at all.
However, it seems reasonable that the client code might
have expected "denormals are zero" mode to only affect
actual processing of denormals. This code has produced
what is in effect a gratuitous denormal by being extra clever.
There is nothing about the computation being requested
that fundamentally requires a denormal.
It is also easy to do this computation in integer math instead:
mask = ((v&2)>>1)-1
Do that.
For the record, the other math tests that fail if you put the
processor in "denormals are zero" mode are the tests for
Frexp, Ilogb, Ldexp, Logb, Log2, and FloatMinMax, but all
fail processing denormal inputs. Sincos was the only function
for which that mode causes incorrect behavior on non-denormal inputs.
The existing tests check that the new assembly is correct.
There is no test for behavior in "denormals are zero" mode,
because I don't want to add assembly to change that.
Fixes#8623.
