Kernel stack and user stack

  • Follow


Hi,

In all architecture, kernel stack is on top of user stack.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of such an architecture?

Thanks,
Deepak

I have never heard kernel stack described as being "on top of" user
stack. If that's a commonly-used term, I've never heard it. I was
unable to find out what it means by googling.

I disagree with your assertion; you cannot make that statement about
*all* architectures, and the phrase "on top of" is ambiguous (or
completely wrong) when applied to some architectures.

It depends. Please define your terms. So far, your statement is both
vague and outright wrong.
