System Calls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Do every system call have a wrapper, which runs in user space and copies
the system call number in the register and then switches the CPU mode to
kernel mode ? Please explain.

Also when is the kernel stack for a process created ? Is it when the
process is created or when the process comes to the kernel mode on
invoking a system call ? 

Thanks,
Rajaram.
