• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 21:31 −302 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Exokernels: United since 2021 - an exokernel does *not* require every use to write their own library operating system; they can use an already-written one. Remove.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 21:29 −10 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Exokernels: I'm not sure there's a Wikipedia page to describe the sort of multiplexing of access to the raw hardware is being provided, but mutliplexing (bus) isn't that page.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 21:06 −58 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Hybrid (or modular) kernels: *Most* commercial operating systems? Only a few mainstream ones, such as NT and Darwin derivatives. Copyedit and simplify the first stenence about monolithic kernels with LKMs;)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 21:00 −68 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Microkernels: Microkernels and monolithic kernels can be written mostly or even exclusively in a high-level language; the key characteristic of a microkernel server is that it runs in user mode. In a microkernel, there isn't necessarily a *single* program providing the OS services, and they may not be normal application programs - the kernel may grant them privileges not granted to applications.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:53 +26 Guy Harris talk contribs (The Linux kernel is not the only, or even the first, monolithic kernel with modules.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:50 +68 Guy Harris talk contribs (Fix capitalization. Request an explanation of what a "hardware process" is.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:45 −14 Guy Harris talk contribs (Get rid of unnecessary piping.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:42 −5 Guy Harris talk contribs (Call it GNU Hurd.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:39 +60 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Monolithic kernels: Link to Memory management (operating systems) rather than Memory management - the latter is for memory management in userland. Consistently refer to it as "memory management" rather than sometimes calling it "memory handling".)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:27 −64 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Monolithic kernels: Get rid of unnecessary piping.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:24 −9 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Monolithic kernels: 1) Not all kernels have a "main kernel thread". For example, most Un*x kernels run system calls in the same thread as the user-mode code that made the system call, and many of them also have multiple kernel threads separate from any user-mode thread. 2) In any case, the init process isn't the "main kernel thread" - init or its equivalent is a (possibly multi-threaded) user-mode program.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:19 −23 Guy Harris talk contribs (→Kernel-wide design approaches: Spell out "microkernels" rather than saying "micro and monolithic kernels". Get rid of unnecessary piping.)
• diffhist Kernel (operating system) 20:17 −1 Guy Harris talk contribs (That's a restrictive clause, limiting "objects provided to user code" to the ones that "allow limited access to an underlying object managed by the kernel", so use "that" rather than "which".)

(A solution is available.)) Tag: Reverted
