@kodekloud: OS Internals: Processes vs. Threads Memory Layout! Process vs thread is one of the most asked systems questions in interviews, and most answers skip the part that actually matters: what the kernel is doing underneath. We break down how a process gets its own private slice of RAM, how threads share that same slice instead of copying it, and why that single difference explains both crash isolation and race conditions. One Linux function, clone(), decides which one you get. Subscribe for more OS and systems concepts explained the way engineers actually need them. #ProcessVsThread #OperatingSystems #LinuxKernel #Multithreading #Concurrency #SystemDesign #ComputerScience #DevOps #KernelProgramming #LinuxInternals #CodingShorts #TechShorts #CSFundamentals #KodeKloud #Programming
Unless that kernel interface has an arbitrary memory read vulnerability 😂 (cough heartbleed)

This is only in theory but Kernel API thread is a process exactly but with different context settings only.

well to be more accurate, the MMU is programmed by the kernel to get memory faults. so technically the hardware blocks to different processes from crossing memory boundaries.
