Almost correct: it's _a_ kernel stack, not _the_ kernel stack.
The load_esp0() function changes this on every task switch on i386. If there were only one kernel stack then there would be no need to ever do that... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
