I am new to linux,just want to ask which processes run in kernel space? I read somewhere that init runs in user space.But init boots up the system,it should run in kernel space.



Please clarify my doubt.Thanks in advance.

    The kernel runs in kernel space. 'Init' is not the kernel. 'Init' interacts with the kernel and supervises the other processes..

  • "But init boots up the system,it should run in kernel space." why does the first mean the second should be true?
