Well it seems the issue is all the autogenerated magic templates. It appears
they are used to both define simple wrappers as well as complex float128
functions which happen to use sqrt (in the form of M_SQRT). For the former
you want to disable the asm redirect, for the latter you must redirect it. Given
they are all generated in the same way, it's impossible to do the right thing.
So I don't think we can change M_SQRT until the wrapper magic has been
removed or at least greatly simplified.

Here is the latest version, which adds redirect for float128 but keeps M_SQRT
as is - this passes on x86, x64, ppc, aarch64:


This patch series cleans up the many uses of  __ieee754_sqrt(f/l) in GLIBC.
The goal is to enable GCC to do the inlining, and if this fails call the
__ieee754_sqrt function.  This is done by internally declaring sqrt with asm
redirects.  The compat symbols and sqrt wrappers need to disable the redirect.
The redirect is also disabled if there are already redirects defined when
using -ffinite-math-only.

This means targets are no longer forced to add a special inline for sqrt.

All math functions (but not math tests) are built with -fno-math-errno which
means GCC will typically inline sqrt as a single instruction.


ChangeLog:
2017-12-22  Wilco Dijkstra  <wdijkstr@arm.com>

        * math/Makefile: Emit NO_MATH_REDIRECT in wrapper templates.
        * include/math.h (sqrt): Declare with asm redirect.
        (sqrtf): Likewise.
        (sqrtl): Likewise.
        * Makeconfig: Add -fno-math-errno for libc/libm, but build tests
        with -fmath-errno.
        * math/w_sqrt_compat.c: Define NO_MATH_REDIRECT.
        * math/w_sqrt_template.c: Likewise.
        * math/w_sqrtf_compat.c: Likewise.
        * math/w_sqrtl_compat.c: Likewise.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/w_sqrt.c: Likewise.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/w_sqrt_compat.c: Likewise.
