The instructions generated by the Go compiler for the code below contain too many unnecessary register copies.

//go:noinline
func swap(x, y float64) (float64, float64) {
        if y > x {
                x, y = y, x
        }
        return x, y
}

The assembly instructions:

0x0000 00000 (p.go:9)   TEXT    main.swap(SB), LEAF|NOFRAME|ABIInternal, $0-16
0x0000 00000 (p.go:10)  FCMPD   F1, F0
0x0004 00004 (p.go:10)  BMI     20
0x0008 00008 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F1, F2
0x000c 00012 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F0, F1
0x0010 00016 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F2, F0
0x0014 00020 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F0, F2 
0x0018 00024 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F1, F0
0x001c 00028 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F2, F1
0x0020 00032 (p.go:13)  RET     (R30)

The expected instruction sequence:

0x0000 00000 (p.go:9)   TEXT    main.swap(SB), LEAF|NOFRAME|ABIInternal, $0-16
0x0000 00000 (p.go:10)  FCMPD   F1, F0
0x0004 00004 (p.go:10)  BPL     20
0x0008 00008 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F1, F2
0x000c 00012 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F0, F1
0x0010 00016 (p.go:13)  FMOVD   F2, F0
0x0020 00020 (p.go:13)  RET     (R30)
