Re: floating point emulation broken



Manuel Bouyer said;

the in-kernel floating point emulation seems seriously broken.
...
anyone familiar with mips floating point ?

fp.S was inherited from pre-NetBSD project and the maintainance has
been in abandoned state for many years.  The assembler implementation
is unlikely fixable, better to replace with fresh code with softfloat mathlib,
as well as xfer between 32x 64bit FP number and 64bit GP for MIPS64.
matt@ has some progress in insn emul, I suppose.
