68060 FLOATING-POINT SOFTWARE PACKAGE (Kernel version)
-------------------------------------------------------

The file fpsp.sa contains the 68060 Floating-Point Software
Package. This package is essentially a set of exception handlers
that can be integrated into an operating system.
These exception handlers emulate Unimplemented FP instructions,
instructions using unimplemented data types, and instructions
using unimplemented addressing modes. In addition, this package
includes exception handlers to provide full IEEE-754 compliant
exception handling.

Release file format:
--------------------
The file fpsp.sa is essentially a hexadecimal image of the
release package. This is the ONLY format which will be supported.
The hex image was created by assembling the source code and
then converting the resulting binary output image into an
ASCII text file. The hexadecimal numbers are listed
using the Motorola Assembly Syntax assembler directive "dc.l"
(define constant longword). The file can be converted to other
assembly syntaxes by using any word processor with a global
search and replace function.

To assist in assembling and linking this module with other modules,
the installer should add a symbolic label to the top of the file.
This will allow calling routines to access the entry points
of this package.

The source code fpsp.s has also been included but only for
documentation purposes.

Release file structure:
-----------------------

(top of module)
	-----------------
	|		| - 128 byte-sized section
   (1)  |   Call-Out	| - 4 bytes per entry (user fills these in)
	|		| - example routines in fskeleton.s
	-----------------
	|		| - 8 bytes per entry
   (2)  | Entry Point	| - user does "bra" or "jmp" to this address
	|		|
	-----------------
	|		| - code section
   (3)  ~		~
	|		|
	-----------------
(bottom of module)

The first section of this module is the "Call-out" section. This section
is NOT INCLUDED in fpsp.sa (an example "Call-out" section is provided at
the end of the file fskeleton.s). The purpose of this section is to allow
the FPSP routines to reference external functions that must be provided
by the host operating system. This section MUST be exactly 128 bytes in
size. There are 32 fields, each 4 bytes in size. Each field corresponds
to a function required by the FPSP (these functions and their location are
listed in "68060FPSP call-outs" below). Each field entry should contain
the address of the corresponding function RELATIVE to the starting address
of the "call-out" section. The "Call-out" section must sit adjacent to the
fpsp.sa image in memory.

The second section, the "Entry-point" section, is used by external routines
to access the functions within the FPSP. Since the fpsp.sa hex file contains
no symbol names, this section contains function entry points that are fixed
with respect to the top of the package. The currently defined entry-points
are listed in section "68060 FPSP entry points" below. A calling routine
would simply execute a "bra" or "jmp" that jumped to the selected function
entry-point.

For example, if the 68060 hardware took a "Line-F Emulator" exception
(vector #11), the operating system should execute something similar to:

	bra	_060FPSP_TOP+128+48

(_060FPSP_TOP is the starting address of the "Call-out" section; the "Call-out"
section is 128 bytes long; and the F-Line FPSP handler entry point is located
48 bytes from the top of the "Entry-point" section.)

The third section is the code section. After entering through an "Entry-point",
the entry code jumps to the appropriate emulation code within the code section.
