Could you please answer his query. Regards Syed
Hi, Why is that the stack size of linux kernel is 8k in 32 bit arch? Whis is this limitation and is there ne
Because it is more than enough. More than 8k is not necessary. I hope you know the use of stack.
way that I can increase the size of the stack?What other alternatives are there in C programming so that I maintain the size of the stack below 8k? Is there ne tool by which I can know to what max extent the stack has reached, so that I can be careful. Thanks in adv. regards Suresh
In latest 2.6 kernels, You can compile with 4K stacks. You can configure stack as 4k during make #config
Remember, That is a kernel stack. Each task has its own kernel stack which is used during syscall and a user stack used in userspace.
regards manish
