Arch-specific process switch functions

This modules describe low-level functions and structures needed to perform a process switch

Structs

ThreadHardwareContext

The hardware context of a paused thread. It contains just enough registers to get the thread running again.

Functions

first_schedule⚠	The function ret'd on, on a thread's first schedule - as setup by the prepare_for_first_schedule.
jump_to_entrypoint	Jumps to Userspace, and run a userspace program.
prepare_for_first_schedule⚠	Prepares the thread for its first schedule by writing default values at the start of the stack that will be loaded in the registers in schedule-in. See process_switch() documentation for more details.
process_switch⚠	Performs the process switch, switching from currently running process A, to process B.
