hi, I just found the code in 2.6.17 under function enable_sep_cpu, which is going to setup the esp1 as "tss->esp1 = sizeof(struct tss_struct) + (unsigned long) tss;", which will be used as a privilege stack when calling sysenter. I noticed that there is unsigned long stack[64] at the bottom of struct tss_struct, which works as an emergency stack. Are we just going to use that once as the kernel stack for sysenter? If yes, will that be a problem since the stack is only 256 bytes? Thanks, Neo -- I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious probably today we haven't the technology we are using! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
