It's the same thing as you read: THREAD size is 8kb so the operation looks like the following: current_stack_pointer & ~(8191) == current_stack_pointet & 0xFFFFFE00 (last 13 bits are 0)
Ok. Got it. But how ANDing it with current stack pointer points to the address of thread_info structure. Suppose stack is growing from higher to lower memory address. Thanks, Vijay
