Subject: Fix for APC floating point problem (part 1/2) IBM/4.3
Index: /sys/ca/{trap.c, ioim.h}
Description:
There is an unusual set of circumstances that could cause
certain models of the IBM RT System (6150, 6151) and the IBM
6152 Academic System to give inaccurate floating point arithmetic
results. Although the probability of its occurrence is
extremely remote, we are informing our customers and
providing a fix.
These fixes are designed to detect the circumstances where
a floating point error could potentially occur and to
prevent the floating point error from occurring.
The complete fix is comprised of 3 components: a patch
to vmunix, a patch to the floating point library, and a
new version of the Fortran compiler hf77.
V1.27_kit.1 - Patch to the kernel (this file)
V1.27_kit.2 - Patch to the floating point library
hf77_12.1_tar.Z - Fortran hf77 with fix
(628233 bytes, 20410 checksum)
The Fortran compiler can be copied (uucp) from the IBM support
host ibmsupt from the directory /usr/spool/uucppublic/ibm43-fixes.
(See V1.28 for details.)
Fix:
Following is a patch to the kernel. Apply this patch to the
Dec 88 release of IBM/4.3. Make the kernel and install it.
See "Building IBM/4.3 Systems with Config" in volume II
of the manual.
