Last change on this file since cefb126 was da52547, checked in by Martin Decky <martin@…>, 15 years ago

add early_putchar() which can be used to do early kernel console output for debugging purposes
(the availability of this feature depends on each platform and specific configuration, currently it works only on ia32/amd64 with EGA and no framebuffer)
instrument more kernel functions
mark some functions as no_instrument (context_restore(), overlaps(), main_bsp())

49 *
50 * Save the current register context (including stack pointer) to a context
51 * structure. A subsequent call to context_restore() will return to the same
52 * address as the corresponding call to context_save().
53 *
54 * Note that context_save_arch() must reuse the stack frame of the function
55 * which called context_save(). We guarantee this by:
56 *
57 * a) implementing context_save_arch() in assembly so that it does not create
58 * its own stack frame, and by
59 * b) defining context_save() as a macro because the inline keyword is just a
60 * hint for the compiler, not a real constraint; the application of a macro
61 * will definitely not create a stack frame either.
62 *
63 * To imagine what could happen if there were some extra stack frames created
64 * either by context_save() or context_save_arch(), we need to realize that the
65 * sp saved in the contex_t structure points to the current stack frame as it
66 * existed when context_save_arch() was executing. After the return from
67 * context_save_arch() and context_save(), any extra stack frames created by
68 * these functions will be destroyed and their contents sooner or later
69 * overwritten by functions called next. Any attempt to restore to a context
70 * saved like that would therefore lead to a disaster.
71 *
72 * @param ctx Context structure.
73 *
74 * @return context_save() returns 1, context_restore() returns 0.
