The documentation says that it includes 3 fields SS0, SS1 and SS2 for privilige levels 0, 1, 2 respectively. And are set up when a task is first created, I can't figure out why these fields are necessary. I think that these fileds are necessary when we have moved from PL 3 to PL0 and these would contain information about upper 3 stacks so that information can be retrived. -- Imanpreet Singh Arora - 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/
