yes, most people do use a separate kernel stack per thread, while it is possible to do it with only one stack, most people use a separate stack -- you don't need multiple TSSs, just patch the one TSS with the new thread's stack address on task switch -- just replace the TSS.ESP0 with the new TSS.ESP0 and your good
Kernel stack is mapped in kernel space, right?
I think, it will be dangerous when stack overflow happens.

On the top of that, I suggest you to allocate special stacks for double faults, and non maskable interrupts .
they will be used when you need to handle something bad or hardware watchdogs
Thanks for your sugestions.

Essentially; "single kernel stack per CPU" tends to favour micro-kernels, and "single kernel stack per thread" tends to favour monolithic kernels.
OK, I'll prefer single kernel stack per thread. But, is 4KB enough for kernel in servicing the task? Or, should I switch another stack when kernel need to do some hard works?
