2 page kernel stacks in older kernels

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

 



There was a requirement in older kernels that the stack (which was
then 2 pages and is now 1 page in newer kernels) had to be physically
adjacent.
Why was there such a requirement? wouldn't it have sufficed for the
kernel stack to be contiguous in virtual memory?

Thanks,
-Joel
