runtimeimage of kernel module

runtimeimage of kernel module

[Anumula Venkat]

Hello Friends,


    Can anybody tell me how runtime image of kernel
module will be formed ? 
     I know that all kernel modules will run in one
address space. And for user level applications stack
will be formed at 0xbfff.. ( something of this kind ).

My doubt is where does the stack will be formed for
kernel modules ?


Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

All kernel code runs in the context of the process
that's running when kernel mode is entered. That
means module code will execute using the kernel stack
of the current process.
