This is implementation dependent. When I was first working on
RPCSEC_GSS for NFS at Sun (a decade ago) the credential cache was
still stored in user space and there was a user-space daemon that
would go fetch tickets. The kernel would use IPCs to talk to the
daemon to request a ticket when the kernel needed a new one for a
user.
