Russ Cox 92dba0d278 cmd/internal/gc: use hardware instruction for math.Sqrt (amd64/arm)
I first prototyped this change in Sept 2011, and I discarded it
because it made no difference in the obvious benchmark loop.
It still makes no difference in the obvious benchmark loop,
but in a less obvious one, doing some extra computation
around the calls to Sqrt, not making the call does have a
significant effect.

benchmark                 old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
BenchmarkSqrt             4.56          4.57          +0.22%
BenchmarkSqrtIndirect     4.56          4.56          +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtGo           69.4          69.4          +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtPrime        4417          3647          -17.43%

This is a warmup for using hardware expansions for some
calls to 1-line assembly routines in the runtime (for example getg).

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
