Hello, I've always read that although it isn't completely forbidden, but kernel code shouldn't use floating point arithmetic. It is not recommended, but surely looks possible. So just for curosity purposes (and without getting into the debate of "You shouldn't be doing this..."), can some one point me a working example / code on how to use floating point in kernel? Also FP arithmatic is not recommended because the code will need to manually save and restore FPU registers in the event of context switch, right? But how about in atomic context? Is it safe to use FP arithmetic ONLY in atomic context (intr and preemption disabled)?
