Specifically, the kernel strives to never break Userspace - not necessarily the kernel's API.
- charliesome 6y agoThere might be a nuance here I haven't grasped, but isn't the kernel's API == its syscall ABI == the boundary to userspace?
- Spivak 6y agoYes but when people talk about kernel APIs not being stable they usually mean the APIs designed to be consumed by other kernel developers or kernel module authors.
