You have right. Standard unix kernel was designed to have all inside. I |
| 38 |
don't know why some people still prefer modules than monolith kernel. If |
| 39 |
you have modules, you must recompile all of them when new ABI comes out. |
| 40 |
On monolithic kernel its all there. Also i don't know if modules are not |
| 41 |
slower than monolith Kernel because of User space to Kernel space |
| 42 |
connection. Compiled in modules makes kernel run faster, and if it's |
| 43 |
server, then even 0.00001 sec makes the different on functions execution |
| 44 |
and internal core communication. Partly beyond of that problem is IPC |
| 45 |
module communication. But if there are benefits then also are problems |
| 46 |
with error code execution or beta drivers installed. Also if You have |
| 47 |
Molnar's Real Time Preemption Model on Your kernel, You should choose |
| 48 |
monolithic kernel. PS: some drivers are don't work as modules like they |
| 49 |
should. You see Windows - there are drivers like Linux modules - what it |
| 50 |
makes? Blue screens of death ;), but this is another story... ;) |
