aarch64: Add --params to control the number of recip steps [PR94154]
-mlow-precision-div hard-coded the number of iterations to 2 for double and 1 for float. This patch adds a --param to control the number. 2020-03-13 Bu Le <bule1@huawei.com> gcc/ PR target/94154 * config/aarch64/aarch64.opt (-param=aarch64-float-recp-precision=) (-param=aarch64-double-recp-precision=): New options. * doc/invoke.texi: Document them. * config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_emit_approx_div): Use them instead of hard-coding the choice of 1 for float and 2 for double.
