|
<P>Yes. As of 1.3.56, Linux has supported kernel-space multithreading.
|
|
There also have been user-space thread libraries around as early as 1.0.9. There is on-going effort to refine and make the kernel more reentrant. With the
|
|
introduction of 2.1.x, the memory space is being revised so that the kernel can access the user memory more quickly.
