stack pointer

[Nitin Varyani <varyani.nitin1@xxxxxxxxx>]

struct task_struct { volatile long state; /* -1 unrunnable, 0 runnable, >0 stopped */ void *stack; atomic_t usage; unsigned int flags; /* per process flags, defined below */ unsigned int ptrace;

What does the field void *stack indicate here?

Is it the pointer to kernel stack of the process?

Where is the stack pointer for the current process stored in linux?
