function stack frames in the kernel

[Carter Cheng]

Thanks for the reply but the link doesn't quite answer the question. I am
wondering how the pointer is handled so that there is one per thread by the
compiler. I perhaps was under the perhaps mistaken impression that the
stack pointer frame pointer management inside the compiler makes certain
assumptions in user space- but i am unsure how this applies to kernel space.
