The SMLAD instruction is supposed to:
* signed multiply Rn[15:0] * Rm[15:0]
* signed multiply Rn[31:16] * Rm[31:16]
* perform a signed addition of the products and Ra
* set Rd to the low 32 bits of the theoretical
infinite-precision result
* set the Q flag if the sign-extension of Rd
would differ from the infinite-precision result
(ie on overflow)
Our current implementation doesn't quite do this, though: it performs
an addition of the products setting Q on overflow, and then it adds
Ra, again possibly setting Q. This sometimes incorrectly sets Q when
the architecturally mandated only-check-for-overflow-once algorithm
does not. For instance:
r1 = 0x80008000; r2 = 0x80008000; r3 = 0xffffffff
smlad r0, r1, r2, r3
This is (-32768 * -32768) + (-32768 * -32768) - 1
The products are both 0x4000_0000, so when added together as 32-bit
signed numbers they overflow (and QEMU sets Q), but because the
addition of Ra == -1 brings the total back down to 0x7fff_ffff
there is no overflow for the complete operation and setting Q is
incorrect.
Fix this edge case by resorting to 64-bit arithmetic for the
case where we need to add three values together.
