Consider the following memory layout for thread A (address ranges are inclusive):

Kernel space: 0xd0000000 - 0xdfffffff
Shared libraries: 0xb0000000 - 0xbfffffff
Stack: random location between 0x80000000 - 0x8fffffff
Heap: 0x40000000 - 0x7fffffff
Data and Text: random location between 0x10000000 - 0x3fffffff

Consider another thread B in the system. What is lowest possible memory address for the kernel space in thread B if:

1) Thread B is in the same process as thread A?

2) Thread B is in a different process from thread A?

Express your answer as a single hexadecimal number (not a range). Do not include leading 0's (if they exist). For example, 0x00001000 would be represented as 0x1000.
