This patch extends the patch that added support for implementing x^-1/2 using the Newton series by adding support for x^1/2 as well.

Is it OK at this point of stage 3?

Thank you,


James,

As I was saying, this patch results in some validation errors in CPU2000 benchmarks using DF. Although proving the algorithm to be pretty solid with a vast set of random values, I'm confused why some benchmarks fail to validate with this implementation of the Newton series for square root too, when they pass with the Newton series for reciprocal square root.

Since I had no problems with the same algorithm on x86-64, I wonder if the initial estimate on AArch64, which offers just 8 bits, whereas x86-64 offers 11 bits, has to do with it. Then again, the algorithm iterated 1 less time on x86-64 than on AArch64.

Since it seems that the initial estimate is sufficient for CPU2000 to validate when using SF, I'm leaning towards restricting the Newton series for square root only for SF.

Your thoughts on the matter are appreciated,

        Add choices for the reciprocal square root approximation

        Allow a target to prefer such operation depending on the FP
   precision.

Now that the patch is attached, feedback is appreciated.
