User-supplied stacks

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

 



Security considerations set aside, is it possible to run kernel code with a user-supplied stack? I would like to use the stack of the current process to execute a system call, in order to bypass the 4K kernel stack-size restriction and to override some problems with copy_from_user.

P.S.,
This is for an academic research, so I would just like to know whether it can be done. I am not looking for a harangue on why I should not be doing that ;-)
