Nick Craig-Wood eae09a59a0 math/big: Optimise ARM assembler
Tweak the ARM assembler to improve its performance.

  * Use TEQ instead of CMP which preserves the carry flag.  This means
    we can avoid saving and restoring CPSR which is very slow.

  * Use conditional instructions to read the value of the carry flag.

  * Use 3 argument ARM instructions to save instructions

  * Improve scheduling for MOVW instructions (LDR)

  * Use RSB constant to save an instruction in bitLen

Results of -test.bench 'VV|VW|VU|WW|Bit' -test.benchtime 3s on Samsung
Exynos5 Chromebook.

There are a few small regressions in the benchmarks which I believe to
be noise, perhaps due to different cacheline alignment.

The changes to bitLen are apparently no faster, however less
instructions means less I-cache usage which is a win. I suspect it
will be a win on older ARM processors.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
