Memory validation is used to verify that user syscalls are allowed to access a given memory range. Ring 0 threads never make syscalls, and so will never end up in validation anyway. The reason we were allowing kmalloc memory accesses is because kernel thread stacks used to be allocated in kmalloc memory. Since that's no longer the case, we can stop making exceptions for kmalloc in the validation code. |

SerenityOS
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.
About
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by me, for me, based on the things I like.
If you like some of the same things, you are welcome to join the project. It would be great to one day change the above to say "this is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like." :^)
I regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.
Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.
I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
