Kernel stacks on x86-64 bit
---------------------------
Most of the text from Keith Owens, hacked by AK
x86_64 page size (PAGE_SIZE) is 4K.
@ -56,13 +59,6 @@ If that assumption is ever broken then the stacks will become corrupt.
The currently assigned IST stacks are :-
* STACKFAULT_STACK. EXCEPTION_STKSZ (PAGE_SIZE).
Used for interrupt 12 - Stack Fault Exception (#SS).
This allows the CPU to recover from invalid stack segments. Rarely
happens.
* DOUBLEFAULT_STACK. EXCEPTION_STKSZ (PAGE_SIZE).
Used for interrupt 8 - Double Fault Exception (#DF).
