To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi Kindly provide me with some basic insights into kernel. 1) I want to know exact structure of kernel stack and process stack in memory. It would be helpful if description includes approximate memory addresses of kernel stack,process stack, and different regions in kernel stack and process stack. What happens if there are multiple processes. 2) What about "current" data structure. Where is it located on memory. If I am not wrong it will be just below the process stack. 3)Which variable to use to access (I am in kernel code) kernel stack. In "task_struct" kernel_stack_page is not defined. Mine is "linux 2.4.2 mvista". I am not subscribed to this list, kindly send me the reply to vraghava_raju@yahoo.com . __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
