When I added the software multiply and divide implemenations to the 32-bit sparc port, I ended up using a different software trap for signalling divide by zero in the handler so that it was easier to detect the "from kernel" kernel case. We're not talking about big complicated routines, we're talking about quite simple stubs whose interfaces really are not going to change. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
