Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 08:45:54 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHmg6GNWLzKA-UMXFx5mJT6D+o23=pYTtNFPOdmDvdnT5XxC7w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi
I am reading LDD .In that i didn't understand one point .In Chapter
2(Building and Running Modules) they mentioned that
 " Kernel code cannot do floating point arithmetic"
.My doubt is which code is used for floating point arithmetic that means at
low level?

Thank you
