Hi group,
I have a couple of questions on stack usage. would appreciate if
anyone could help me in answering these questions.
* What is the stack used by modules to execute ?
* Is it always the case that Interrupt handlers use the kernel mode stack
of the process that was in execution when the interrupt occurred ? What
about the case when the control was in kernel when the interrupt is
received ?
* Also is it always the case that ebp register stores the address of the
current user mode stack frame ?
Thanks,
Rithin
