Add earlyclobber to sqrtt/sqrtf insns.

When using software completions, we have to prevent assembler to match
input and output operands of sqrtt/sqrtf insn. Add earlyclobber to
output operand to avoid unwanted operand matching.

2017-04-14  Uros Bizjak  <ubizjak@gmail.com>

    * sysdeps/alpha/fpu/math_private.h (__ieee754_sqrt): Add
    earlyclobber to output operand of sqrt insn.
    (__ieee754_sqrtf): Ditto.

Is this so that the trap handler can recover the original input?

In this case, please add this to the commit message for those of us
who are not familiar with the Alpha architecture.

I don't know the low-level details, perhaps Richard can explain these
requirements.

The sqrtt simply returns zero for subnormal operand with software
completions when input and output reg are matched.

Did you see that in an emulator, or on actual hardware?

The architecture manual suggests that we also need to take measures to
limit the trap shadow.

I have seen this on actual hardware, AlphaServer ES40, EV68AL Tsunami.

Without the patch, there are many instances of problematic insns,
simple grep sqrt[ts] of libm dump shows

Hmm.  This is surprising because any host that has sqrtt also has exact traps, 
and so trap shadows and recovery of the input shouldn't be an issue.

That said, do we actually still support a gcc that doesn't have these as 
builtins?  That would be more ideal than inline asm.

I have tried with a sqrtt/sud $f0, $f0, where the value in $f0 was
0x0....10. I can confirm that the returned result was 0.

Compiling

double test_sqrt (double d)

        return __builtin_sqrt (d);

__builtin_sqrt expands with a call to sqrt(), this could possibly
create a recursive call loop if the builtin is used in libc to
implement sqrt.
