51/** Save register context.
52 *
53 * Save the current register context (including stack pointer) to a context
54 * structure. A subsequent call to context_restore() will return to the same
55 * address as the corresponding call to context_save().
56 *
57 * Note that context_save_arch() must reuse the stack frame of the function
58 * which called context_save(). We guarantee this by:
59 *
60 * a) implementing context_save_arch() in assembly so that it does not create
61 * its own stack frame, and by
62 * b) defining context_save() as a macro because the inline keyword is just a
63 * hint for the compiler, not a real constraint; the application of a macro
64 * will definitely not create a stack frame either.
65 *
66 * To imagine what could happen if there were some extra stack frames created
67 * either by context_save() or context_save_arch(), we need to realize that the
68 * sp saved in the contex_t structure points to the current stack frame as it
69 * existed when context_save_arch() was executing. After the return from
70 * context_save_arch() and context_save(), any extra stack frames created by
71 * these functions will be destroyed and their contents sooner or later
72 * overwritten by functions called next. Any attempt to restore to a context
73 * saved like that would therefore lead to a disaster.
74 *
75 * @param ctx Context structure.
76 *
77 * @return context_save() returns 1, context_restore() returns 0.
