The main CPU stacks are: Used for external hardware interrupts. If this is the first external hardware interrupt (i.e. not a nested hardware interrupt) then the kernel switches from the current task to the interrupt stack. Like - the split thread and interrupt stacks on i386 (with CONFIG_4KSTACKS), - this gives more room for kernel interrupt processing without having - to increase the size of every per thread stack. + the split thread and interrupt stacks on i386, this gives more room + for kernel interrupt processing without having to increase the size + of every per thread stack.
